Life in Taiwan July'11 Part 2

Right I'm already back in SG from Taiwan but still gonna blog about this haha cos I just uploaded the pics.
Oh yeah I didn't manage to go out that day from my last post.
I had to like go and accompany bf to do his Japan visa things la and we tabao-ed Coco Curry from near the place where we made the visa.
Shiok max! No pics cos too hungry already. Our 1st and only meal of the day wth.
But next day we went out la hurhur. Went to Everysing :D
It's at Taipei main station and quite small in my opinion.
But bf says the Korea one also that size so uh yeah :/
Haven't been to the Korean one but bf has cos he bought the bromides for me during Bonamana promo :D
Anw I went crazy there! I tell myself cannot buy the lifesized posters cos firstly,expensive. Secondly, no place to put at home also.
BUT CANNOT LA SO HANDSOME & PRETTY HOW TO RESIST!
When I put it up in my room, I will post a pic hahahaha!
I bought Fishy oppa's & Lyeowook's one for best friend. Ordered Yoona cos too pretty already cannot resist lol.
Bought many things for fellow SM fans like Juyin,Xuanzhi,Rachelle,Nigel & CK.
Sorry to the rest if I didn't get you anything. Pls tell me who is your bias in future,I may get it for you lol.
Bf thinks it's uber funny that girls keep swarming the tv at the store playing all the MVs.
Sheesh,non fanboys/girls. You people won't understand one lol!


Fishy and wookie oppas!


After leaving there (with alot of things btw), went to Ximending to go to the Snoopy shop & buy my Woodstock stuff :D
Managed to get alot of things until the boss gave me freebies hahaha!
Free Woodstock towel :D
Everytime we go Ximending confirm eat this without fail.
We ate like 1x there then tabao another 2 large packets back cos damn nice!


Everytime also eat this



Queuing for the chicken







He went to cut hair after we bought the Woodstock stuff at this salon called Wan Mei.
Apparantly it's the store opened by Xiaoyu from Lollipop hahaha!
Didn't know that >.< But the store is quite cool.
Every customer has their own telly to watch shows while having your haircut and the prices were quite cheap leh.
$25SGD for a haircut? I cut 1x at ION with Jaren alr $53 -.-"
Was tempted to dye my hair there but didn't have the time in the end.


Finishing his haircut


Went home to cook our Hokkien Mee.
Quite fail but still edible la lol!
No pics cos abit ashamed to show it xD
Next day bf had to entertain customers from overseas so I went out alone to Dong Qu to walk and shop and buy things like mad.
I spent easily NT9K alone in SOGO.
It's like make-up heaven. I shall post my make-up collection if I have nothing better to do lol. Keep neglecting my blog all the time so must make up for it!
Went to Kino and I bought the new Jolin & Niu Er books.
Forgot to buy Calvin's new book there. NDP eve went to Kino to see and it was SO EX TMD >.<


My best friend


Had to wait for bf to tell me where to meet for dinner then I had Starbucks and read finish my HP book on iPad.
Sian max lol but nvm. It's a bad feeling to feel so lonely overseas with no friends :(
Next day I went out alone again! To Banane Taipei this time to help Jace & Sinhui order the bags.
I ended up buying 1 myself but can only collect in Nov tho :/ Ex max but one of a kind la. SG cannot buy also.


Banane bag come to me in Nov pls!


After that went back to Ximending cos that day didn't walk much leh.
Plus I secretly spotted Nature Republic and all the korean make-up stores and couldn't go cos bf sure complain one hahaha!
Had the famous mee sua for the 1st time despite going to tw so many times!
Quite overrated. Either that or I just didn't like it la.


Ah Zhong Oyster Mee Sua





Geun Sukkie oppa is the new endorser for Nature Republic





Ga-In and Joongki oppa <3 center="">

Omg I walked into like all the korean makeup stores and came out with things la hahaha! 
Bought eyeliner at Face shop and got some KHJ freebies which I gave to Sinhui's aunt cos I don't like him. 
Top coat & base coat from Etude House cos I wanted to paint my nails in tw but the quality of their polishes quite crappy plus my nails were in bad condition, cracking like crazy! In the end this was quite a waste. 
5 bottles of nail polish remover from Nature Republic cos got 20% sale and SG sell damn expensive la! 
Nothing from Tony Moly cos their things are just expensive la lol. 
I wanted to get a Manhatten Portage bag but they were expensive and not that useful? So I gave up. Plus,plenty of bags at home. Which reminds me that I have to clear them soon! 
Went into ABC-Mart after that by accident cos wanted to look at shoes. 
There was this pair of adidas shoes that I liked but they didn't have my size when we were at Miaokou. 
Found it at ABC-Mart but decided to get this pair below cos it's also cute! Plus cheaper too xD 


New shoes~


Oh and I made a friend in the store! Hahaha yes,with the store assistant. 
Turns out we're the same age and I ended up talking alot to him so we added each other to fb. 
Haven't spoken a word to him tho ever since lol! 
Alot of taiwanese said they couldn't believe I was Singaporean cos my chinese is quite good and I didn't have an accent (I think I just adapt when overseas la. Now I talk like a typical Singaporean). 
Only my bf thinks my cheena cannot make it -.-" 
The Banane Taipei salesgirl kept asking me alot of qns abt SG and the Kanebo counter girls were like so shocked to hear I was a foreigner that they gave me an additional 10% discount xD 
Heck, there was this uber funny story of how I called EVA Air in Taipei cos I wanted to change my flight. 
Requested for English assistance cos I was sick of talking in Chinese. 
Poor fella I think FHL cos he was quite bad and it pissed me off so I started talking in Chinese after he confirmed that I was on the waiting list. 
He called me 'Passenger S-N-G'. Yes,spelt my surname out -.-" 
Yeah so after speaking in Chinese to him he was like 'wah your chinese damn good.' and started asking me about SG. 
We chit chat for like a good 20 mins lol. My bf was so amazed. 
I think we need a Uniquely SG campaign soon in Taiwan. 
Everyone thinks we cannot speak Chinese and always kena fined/caned if you do smth against the law. 
Ok,back to the post before I digress further lol. 


I like this pic cos my hair looks awesome xD


Went to meet bf at Banqiao for dinner and waited like an hour for him again :( 
Next day he took off and we went to Ba Xian Le Yuan~ 
Took public transport this time. Eff far la! 
Had to get to Guan Du station then take another 40 min bus ride up. 
Lunch at Kunyang before setting off. 


Waiting for our noodles

2nd time at this place. Went there on my 1st trip in 2007 but it was raining then so not much of an impression la. 
This time round it was bright and sunny and crowded too. 
Played all the rides and drank alot of water too lol. 
Cos all damn fast la the rides, way better than Sunway lagoon. 
Got 1 slide I didn't dare to take cos I was afraid I'd be too light and fly off la. 
It was a vertical one with no float and the gradient was like easily 45 degrees man. 
Open slide somemore, what if I fly off!? If tunnel not that bad cos the most kena bumped only but open one
