TaIpEi'S FuN
as i sae earlier on.. pls bear if me wif all these words as there ar NO PICS AVAILABLE.. if u dunwan 2 read then 4get it lor..
finally after all tt paoli crappy livin and ex nonsense.. im off 2 taipei.. 2 b honest.. i was not lookin 4ward 2 the fun initially coz i realli wanna get home asap after all tt crap and nonsense.. all i realli clinged on is the things tt were requested from my friendz back in sg and i tot tt after buyin those stuff i'll jus wait 4 time 2 board the plane and get home..
how wrong i was..
after we left our crappy place.. we went 2 a amusement park and i sat on the rides wif my fellow medics.. we shouted and had fun like nobody business and it realli took the stress off my mind.. i felt so relaxed after tt.. and soon after i realized tt im in a mood 2 hav fun in taipei already!!
see how things can change quickly..
after we reached our htl at abt 9pm.. i quickly checked in and settled everythin within a few min.. the htl we stayed is IN THE HEART OF XIMEN-DING~~ im like.. overjoyed!! haha.. after i checked in and settled everythin within a few min i took a quick walk ard the area and found the place realli fascinatin.. its like the bugis st of sg but its 4x bigger.. there's plenty 2 shop ard.. (btw if u take 1 whole dae jus 2 walk ard the whole of ximen-ding.. u will end up gettin sore feet.. haha..)
so day 1 i bought 3 nice shirts for abt 1000NT ($50)..
we went 2 a theme park in the mornin and were supposed 2 go 2 another in the afternoon.. but its rainin so the whole lot of us went 2 shoppin.. i quickly finalized my "shoppin essentials" and when nite comes i went 2 shilin nite market..
and there were so mani 2 buy and eat.. the food was AWESOME x 1521236.. after u eat the best u dunwan 2 eat the rest (esp those in sg..)
and day 3 was our day.. i went 2 find the legendary new life church in taipei.. after abt 1 hr of search i finally found it.. but tt was onli their main office.. i looked at their service timin and found tt they actualli do not hav a sabbath.. which means they do not hav a sun svc.. hmm.. perhaps the taiwanese dun realli wan 2 go church on sun which is their onli rest dae of the wk.. well i dunno..
visited the 2 sogos in taipei and the shoppin malls.. they ar all the same wif their expensive boutiques and high class supermarkets.. its kinda borin so i headed back 2 ximen-ding.. bought a pair of jeans and a shirt from 1 of the shops (im kinda impressed by their gddd service) and bought another local product b4 i get back 2 htl and prepare 2 leave taiwan..
speakin abt gddd service.. day 1 when my friendz sunglasses broke we went 2 a shop tt sell glasses (not an optical shop) 2 get it repaired.. i tot tt these shops wouldn't even hav the parts or they wouldn't even bother.. but amazingly the shopkeeper took the sunglasses and frantically went 2 search 4 spare parts and fixed it.. impressed by wat he hav seen.. my friendz bought a pair of glasses from them..
furthermore when i was buyin the clothes on day 3.. the auntie and the lady at the shop kept on introducin me 2 the nice clothes and even tried 2 pick 4 me some of the clothes tt suits me.. after i made my purchased the "thank u"s kept repeatin 2 me from the counter 2 the doorstep.. sg preached abt gdd service 2 the customers.. perhaps they should look at taiwan and realized tt they had actualli a mountain 2 climb..
at the airport my emotions were mixed.. paoli was baddd.. but taipei was gdd.. and now im back in sg.. how i wish i could jus fly 2 taiwan again.. this time wif more of taipei and less of paoli..
