Taiwan trip Day 1 - Tai Chung!

I know I haven't been updating this space for a freaking long time! And thanks to my beloved Jieying, I'm back~! =p *BIG WAVES to JIEYING!!!*

My last post was posted just before I went to Taiwan..so probably a good post now would be on my Taiwan trip! It's the first time I went overseas with my colleagues as well as my first Taiwan trip! I have to say..I'll definitely head back to Taiwan!

Fortunately, the weather this time round was really cooling..or should I say..COLD! coldest day went below 10 degrees!

(Us less susu before we board the plane~)

(Beenie and me on the plane! excited!)



(Beenie and my Luo Zhi Xiang concert tix!!)

Our first destination was TaiChung. Taking a afternoon flight, there wasn't much for us to shop around when we reached TC at around 11pm. So it was just supper then sleep into the next day - Rise and Shine!!

(@ a roadside stall for hot supper!)

(Our supper! I super love their mini steamboat that comes in a bowl...but full of ingredients!!)

(Then rise and shine to our breakfast provided by the eatery beside our hotel~)

After breakkie, it was off to Sun Moon Lake!! Have heard all about the beautiful scenary there...so am really looking forward to it! We met a couple of nice cab drivers who gave us a pretty good deal to stick through with us for the whole day and even bringing back our buys back to the hotel!

(Us before we set off! Unfortunately, as you see..it was really misty!)





(All of us in the boat!)

And at the first stop of Sun Moon Lake, here're the pecktures! And most imptly, I simply heart the tea leaf egg!!! OMG!!!

(Us all again!)




(the frigging nice ah ma tea leaf egg!)












(More pecktures @ the first stop!~)

Frankly speaking, apart from the delicious tea leaf egg, there's only the temple for people to visit and to take pecktures with. So we zoomed off to the next station where we were told there's tons more stuff to do...erm to be more exact..MORE FOOD! haha...And upon stepping foot on the 2nd station...it's really like a food heaven! All the food test yummy!!!

(Us zooming off to the 2nd stop!)

(Super misty :( )



(Erm..this would be Dar's favourite stall if he was there!)








(My favourites? - The cabbage bun and the black sesame rice wine! Yes..the rice wine weighs a ton but was super worth me carrying it back to SG!)



(Left: The nice cabbage bun!)
(Right: The honeyed tapiocca which the cab driver brought us to buy along the road~)

The nice cab drivers also brought us to the famous shops to buy the Tai Yang Bing before dropping us at Yi Zhong st and then taking our loots back to hotel! Yi Zhong st is another nice street worth going!

(Nice shops around that area..and...)









(Nice food!!! Yummilicious!! *drools*)

What went on after all the eating? Hmm..me and another colleague of mine went to Luo Zhi Xiang's concert while the rest proceeded back to the night market near our hotel to shop!

(Me and Beenie all excited at the concert!~)



(Loads of pple there!)

(heart~)



(Guest : Xiao S~~she's so gorgeous!)




(Nice back drops!)

Tons more of pecktures but seriously way too many to upload! =x We were really satisfied with the concert...and heading back to hotel, we went to find more food before we ended the night!!

(Hmm not very nice corn compensated by the super yummy hot melted cheese ji pa!!!)



(And we spotted this on our way back to the hotel...aww so cute!!!)

This kinda ended the 1st day at TaiChung. Next day..we proceeded to Taipei since we're more or less done with TaiChung! *stay tuned!*

Off to Taiwan!!!

(Taiwan here I come!!!)

Bella will be away to Taiwan for about a week! Am really excited...will be going to Taiwan with my current colleagues! Hope all will be awesome!!!

Then my next post...take care everyone!<3

haPpy Birthday to me!!

HaPpy biRthday to me!!! *loves*

In continuation to the Valentine's Day celebration we had in Philea Resort, my B'day celebration started as soon as the clock struck 12! =D

Dar had plans for a birthday cake to be sent to our room at the struck of 12am by the resort staff!~ And as usual, cakes outside of Singapore somehow dusson taste as fantastic (I so missed awfully chocolate cake), but I was still touched by the plans and loved the moment! *Thank you Dar Dar!*

(An error there..should have been HAPPY BIRTHDAY Bao bei er!)




(*Sweets*)

Then it was sleep and tadaa to sunshine morning on my birthday! *whee* time for breakfast now! *Yums Yums* =p

(Buffet brekkie with Dar~)



(Stares~)

After a filling breakfast, the resort was kind enough to entend our check-out time to 2pm since our bus will only be here at 330pm. So that means we had time to go for a swim and sauna as well! After our checkout, we had some spare time left to spend before the bus arrives, so we decided to just sit around the lobby area for some reading and drinks! The breeze was really comfortable~

(Us~)



(Bleah~!)




(And here's us in the freezing cold bus-ride back to Singapore~)

Bus ride back home felt awfully long...even after sleeping through the ride...it still felt long! =.= We only managed to reach Singapore at around 8pm..and I was rushing back home cos I had to zoom back to have dinner with my family! Dinner was yummilicious as usual..cos my beloved Daddy cooked the dinner! And there's the lovely awfully chocolate cake my Mummy bought for me! Check out the sumo big strawberries my Mummy bought and top on ourselves! hurhur~special customised strawberry chocolate cake! teehee~

(Happy Birthday Wendy!)

Another wonderful birthday spent with Dar and my family! Years are passing me by so fast...no wonder people always say after the 20th birthday, time will really FLY! I'm totally feeling it and understanding it...hmm~Shall not be upset about...all I wish is to spend everyday with a smiling face and cherish all I have! Have a great blast this year Wendy! <3
