It's fantastic! woah..watched it last night..it's funny...yet heart warming.. nice! there's so many movies coming up... i'm gonna list the movies i wanna catch! Here goes.......

Christmas is coming!....about 36 days away.......~

哪里有彩虹告诉我
能不能把我的愿望还给我
为什么天这么安静
所有云都跑到我这里

有没有口罩一个给我
释怀说了太多就成真不了
也许时间是一种解药
也是我现在正服下的毒药

看不见你的笑我怎么睡得着
你的身影这么近我却抱不到
没有地球太阳还是会绕
没有理由我也能自己走

你要离开我知道很简单
你说依赖是我们的阻碍
就算放开那能不能别没收我的爱
当作我最后才明白

有没有口罩一个给我
释怀说了太多就成真不了
也许时间是一种解药
也是我现在正服下的毒药

看不见你的笑我怎么睡得着
你的身影这么近我却抱不到
没有地球太阳还是会绕
没有理由我也能自己走

你要离开我知道很简单
你说依赖是我们的阻碍
就算放开那能不能别没收我的爱
当作我最后才明白
看不见你的笑
要我怎么睡得着
你的身影这么近我却抱不到
没有地球太阳开始环绕环绕
没有理由我也能自己走掉
是我说了太多就成真不了
也许时间是一种解药解药
也是我现在正服下的毒药

你要离开我知道很简单
你说依赖是我们的阻碍
就算放开那能不能别没收我的爱
当作我最后才明白

Read a friend's blog earlier on..and he was talking about hugs..

it made me think for awhile..

When was the last time I received a hug? or ... When was the last time I gave a hug?

I LOVE hugs.. it warms my heart..

It's a pity that we don't cultivate this gesture here..

I would really love to hug all my friends whenever i see them.. but they will be like .."EEEE! go away!" or.. "aye..you girl leh"...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My latest hug was with... Alvin.. a friendly one.. sent him off at the airport as he's leaving for HK for a competition.. at the departure gate, he hugged me and said "Thanks for sending me off!".. it made my day! and my reply was "Buy me stuff from HK!" haha.. typical~
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm gonna list down some hugs i can remember..
(if i 4got to mention any, tag!)

* Alvin - at the airport
* XY & Eileen - at the airport too...leaving for Taz
* Veron - When i cried at TBC..she gave me cookies after that! hee~
* Toru!
* Some of my students...
* Weijin - at TBC too!
* Carris - it seems like we hug everytime we meet~
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Of course..these are the more recent ones..

I do remember other hugs too.. from Iris, Germin, Serene, Eileen etc...

Oh man...these are the pple i haven't met for ages! i'm gonna get them all out soon!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear friends, you are gonna recieve a hug from me the next time we meet! weEeeeeeeE~

Woke up at 7:50am! Coz..the tour bus arrives at 8:20am.. gotta bathe..and dash to the restaurant to get some dough to munch while walking to the lobby.
Tour bus's aircon broke down! argh* but tour guide promised to fix it when we reach the next destination, which is not very far away *phew* it feels weird to see the driver on this side..haha..i kept thinking that i have to board the bus from the driver's side..argh..irritating..

While waiting for some 'late-comers', this is the view outside my hotel at 8:20am!

1st destination.. about 10 mins journey.. it's like our "Victoria Concert Hall" or "Esplanade". The Golder Horse Award is held here.. and major concerts toO!

Look so oriental right? hee~ the wind is so strong! We can't go in to explore further as it's under some reconstruction..sad..

My Parents.. apparently, my dad knows alot about China history...so he goes on and on, telling me how this place came about...etc...

While waiting for the bus.... these birdies are everywhere!

On our way to the next destination...which is about 30 mins.. tour guide entertained us all the way..haha.. took a picture of this building along the way.. coz i think it's so...er.. interesting.. you can't get to see this in Singapore! haha..so.. old..and.. er.. complicating...ya...a complicated building..

From City view to Country side view..Sea...

This place is called "Ye Liu".. a place where many students come here for Geography lesson because of the natural subjects formed..or whatever you call that..

There...go on and read about it..

This is their "Underwater World".. so old! this was reconstructed..as it was destroyed by HUGE tidal waves sometime back then.. and it wiped out the whole thing..

There... look like mushrooms!

ya..my dad seems to know alot about geography too.. there he goes again...explaining all the theories which i've learnt in secondary school, but forgotten!

This statue is for remembrance.. of a man who saved a young kid who was drowning, but failed to save himself.

The ever famous structure of Ye Liu.. this is called "Queen Elizabeth's Head"..known as "Nu Huang Tou".. really look like a head yeah? This is a highly protected area with cameras all around..we can't touch it at all! The tour guide says, in years to come, the Queen's neck will be 'broken'.. the neck gets thinner and thinner every year.. (my dad's coincidently at the background!)

Tada..do you see what i see? a slipper!

took a picture with the slipper..haha..and that 'red line' is to prevent tourist from stepping outta boundary..

that looks like a goddess!...and my dad wants to have a photo with it... because...

He says it looked like a penis! haha...wonder how he derived at that.. haha~

Went "Jiu Fen" after Ye Liu.. was a 30mins drive as well.. we're going to have our lunch here.. it's a very long street, selling the traditional stuff of Taiwan..and many small souveniers to get here..spent 2 hours here..this place is on a mountain.. and the driveway is rather narrow..

When you walk to the end of the street, you'll find a pot of gold!..haha..no lah.. you'll see a view from the mountain top..

Tour Guide says that this place used to be a gold mine...but was closed because...er...no more gold left..haha..but opened again for filming of dunno what movie..

This is the Eldest Princess outta 3 Princesses of forgotten what tribe.. this tribe faces "extinction" as only about 250 of them are left.. hmm.. the 2nd princess was here too.. but, i think 1st princess's prettier... 3rd one is not around...

Went to this memorial hall next.. er.. the tour guide makes it sound so scary.. he said..when you go in, must behave yourself..because thousand of "eyes" are staring at you.. he's referring to the "tablets".. oh man..

Anyway, this is like a tourist attraction as the soldiers changes shift every hour and everytime they change shift, there will be a "marching procedure"..which ends up like a "show" for tourist to watch..Mom's checking out on that soldier if he actually moves! haha~

Look at the 2 soldiers.. they're really stiff! this is the most inner part of the memorial hall where the "eyes" are.... er hem... So many Japanese girls! i think they happen to be there for a tour too! from some high school.. all dressed rather formally..

山之林- we went for hot spring! tour guide says there's only 3 hot springs in Taiwan that's sulphuric.. and 2 of them's in Taipei.... and ya.. the moment i stepped outta the bus, i smell sulphur.. so smelly! There's public and private pool.. i wanted to try the public one..and when i stepped in...OMG..haha...*see no evil* i opted for a private room instead.. *shy* my mom, went for the public one! haha~ was told not to bathe after that..so as to let the minerals "sink" into your skin..etc...

Our first proper dinner in Taipei! at Shilin..

I went back to the Hot spring after dinner...coz i left my ring...necklace..bracelet at the room! i called them up and luckily, they found my stuff...gotta take a cab back to retrieve them.. i went alone.. told my parents that i wanna try taking the train in taipei myself.. and that i'll return to hotel before 12midnight...so...i went.. roaming in Taiwan all by myself! it's a.. scary feeling.. coz, i know no one, and no one knows me! and haha, did not take train... lazy..took cab! and taxi driver was nice.. he talk about the places he drove by.. like my personal tour guide! and he even stopped by a "bin lang si shi".. which is not pretty at all!

night is still young.. dropped off at Xi Men Ding.. and walked back to hotel from there~ of course.. shopped along the way~ :)

back on sunday 28th Oct... time to upload some pictures!

Parents took a cab and fetch me at 6am on tues morning..*yawn* i was packing my luggage at about 1am the night before.. haha...it was a really "unprepared" trip...too sudden! finished packing at about 130am and decided to stay up to watch vcd til parents pick me up.. i had lotsa time to sleep on the plane anyway... my luggage is rather empty..haha...coz i kinda know that it'll be overloaded with stuff when i come back..*hee* reached the airport at 630am and checked in...so wheaking early.. waited til about 745am...time to board the plane! had breakfast at the airport.. and i bought alot of sweet prunes and sweets to bring up the plane coz i'm sure to get motion sickness.. i only get motion sickness travelling on Economy Class.. i don't get it at Business Class... sigh... wat to do...
Taking the Cathay Pacific. Steward and Stewardess from Hongkong i guess.. can tell from the way they speak.
I'm sitted away from my parents..dunno why... but the two seats beside me were empty! so i just dump everything there.. even my finished tray of breakfast..haha.. didn't finish the food.. too giddy to eat :(
My breakfast! not bad lah.. didn't eat the pastry though..so plain and taste too buttery...i hate butter! I'll be going Taiwan first...gotta transfer flight at Hongkong airport.. after the whole trip, i "collected" 4 boarding pass stubs... the thot of taking plane again makes my head spin! left HK at about 13.10...to Taiwan.. pity those going to Osaka.. they gotta trasfer to another flight when they reach Taiwan.. It's a long queue to get to the other side....Taiwan! and everything's written in Chinese! Everytime when i go overseas, i can't help but think that Changi Airport's really First Class! you know.. comparing this picture with our Singapore's custom... hmmm....
Finally on the other side... tada! the area is so.... vast! parents went toilet while i looked around...and i found....this............................
F4! haha..i'm not their fan...but it just amuse me to see this right after i cleared the custom..hee.. afterall, it's their home country! i think ZaiZai is very ugly with his short hair..

I took for my mom after she came outta the toilet.. she was amused too..by the 4 of them..haha..

then i forced my dad to take also..haha..but he stood right in the middle! i told him he's blocking them.. he simply wouldn't budge...haha~

Temperature was 22 degrees...and i LOVE it! very cooling! if only Singapore has this kinda weather.. awwwww.........

The mini-bus that's gonna pick us up to our hotel.. it's all left-hand drive over in Taiwan.. not used to it.. i have to board the mini-bus on the right side instead of the usual left side...hee~ no wonder i was standing at this side..and wondering why the door never slide open...only then to realise my parents all got up the mini-bus from the other side already *argh*

The scenery i took from the bus...on the way to hotel....this is a river... i dunno what river... you can't see this in Singapore...probably only reservoir..haha~

Past by Taipei Railway Station...so big! so old...so ancient..like those dramas featuring soldiers from the 70's taking the train, leaving their families to serve the army...haha..

the Hotel we're staying in...Kilin hotel.. so oriental..so old...i don't like *sob*

my pathetic room.. i have the urge to join 2 single bed together... but... simply too lazy to do so...keke.. and ugly oriental chair and wardrobe to match this ugly and oriental room...

it's only 5:30pm..and the sky's already dark!... think the day ends earlier during winter season... first night in Taipei.... this was taken outside my hotel.. we stay really near Xi Men Ding.. but since the night is still young, we decide to go Shilin Night Market.. but....lost our way... i called my SOM(Samaritan Of Michelle).. taught me how to get on the train...which station..etc...but the names are too chinese for me to remember.. so...decided to take a cab! SOM told me Cab is cheap!... and it's really cheap! no mid-night charge toO! woOooOoOaaAAaah~ Went Shilin Night Market to eat.....this....
