I am tired.. Tired of my boring life, tired of my job, tired of hearing my grandma nag.. Had been OT-ing for the past 4 days, working till 8pm on tue and wed, 7pm on thur, and almost 10pm today.. And I even have to bring my work back home everyday to complete.. But yet the first thing when i reach home, I just want to slack and relax, but all I heard is my Grandma nagging.. Argh this is so damn irritating.. She thinks i earn money so easy, I just left my computer on while sitting on my bed for a moment, she came into the room, and nag at me for leaving the computer on like that.. I mean hey! it's not like i'm leaving it there on for the whole night!! Then when I just came back, she'll say about how messy my stuffs is, etc.. But I came home not to hear her nag you know, especially after such a tiring day.. She just don't understanf the feeling of slogging myself out at the office whole day, run up and down to get stuffs, endless of reports to do, and since now my bulk order coming in, a lot of things and paperwork to be done.. And at last when i finally can go home and rest, someone's there waiting to nag at me.. Makes me feel so tired to go home too.. Isn't home suppose to be the most relaxing place? How come I don't feel this way.. I feel happier and more relax outside with my friends then at home.. Sigh... I guess i'll only like home when I'm alone in the room.. where i can find peacefullness....... Anyway, thanks sis for helping me arrange my stuffs.. <3
Anyway, an update on my Taiwan trip.. (push those unhappy thoughts away)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 1 went to Wu fen pu, a rather vibrant place that reminds me of Bugis, but the extra large version of it.. There's a lot of shops there, and it's not crowded unlike Bugis.. But as it's not crowded, means the road is wider, and it's to allow vehivles to pass.. such as motorcycle.. and bicycle of course.. these is rather convenient in a sense that it's easier to ask pple to delivery stocks/food/etc.. but a bit dangerous.. cause we saw a girl kenna tripped over by a motorcycle's metal thing they have behind to place their stock.. So dangerous.. so watch your way.. ^_^ After that, to Raohe night market.. quite a lot of interesting stuffs, and food.. there's a temple just beside it.. very beautiful temple with the lanternsss above.. And raohe had some "pet" shop.. selling mostly puppies.. but some looks a bit too skinny.. maybe just born not long ago.. and they're showcasted on small display windows that reminds me of fish tanks.. Poor but cute doggies.. and a lot of pple seems interested in buying them.. I just hope they won't abandon them when they grow up.. Cause i saw quite a few stray dogs.. and some are really pretty in fact.. just that skinny from all the straying.. sad... Back to topic.. Raohe is bascially quite a lot of food.. more food then you can find in Ximending actually.. but lesser shoppings lo..
Day 2, went to Taipei 101.. Nothing much there, but nice scenery.. After that to new york new york, went to their Daiso and sweep their merchandise.. So many nice stuffs at their daiso lar! Love it there.. After that, was actually trying to find Eslite bookstore but gave up.. Just then, a guy came over and want to introduce us a facial product.. and he point to his right, Ta-DAA!! Eslite bookstore!! Lol.. 得来全不费功夫.. Whahax.. Went in, brought a magazine, and some mangas... Happy happy.. After that, went to Underground mall at Taipei main station.. Shopping paradise sia!! Brought a jacket and some tops, accessories, shoes.. XD And it's cheap lor.. Nothing about 300NT.. Which is like Less then $15.. Hahahax.. Love that place.. <3
Then further down, it's a total Otaku paradise.. But I have to control my spending so didn't get anything from there.. And it's mainly games anyway, and I dun play games.. But they have a lot of poster and figurines.. But I didn't get also.. reason, because poster difficult to bring back.. later squashed.. Then figurings later the childrens come and take and play.. Plus no place to display.. Wait till i have my own room!! XD After that return to Ximending.. walked around.. get our dinner and back to hotel.. cause it's raining liao..
Day 3, actually plan to go Yang ming shan, but still raining, so changed plan.. went to another underground mall, brought some small gifts, then to Pacific sogo shopping center.. nothing to buy there, cause it's just like our Isetan/BHG/Taka inda place.. Went to their food court.. ate omelette rice.. very big portion.. Realise that all their food courts serve BIG portion.. O_O
After eating, proceed to Danshui.. ^_^ Cold weather~ loving it~~ Stop at Qi Yan station to change train to Danshui.. And it's windy~ So cold + windy = shiok!! After that continue on our journey to Danshui, and when we reach, it's raining.. =( Didn't bring our rain coat, and dun have umbrella either.. so no choice go 7-11, get one for NT35.. $1+ nia.. Proceed to Danshui.. walked the whole stretch, then saw a shop selling mochi, so went in for a rest.. Shop name is Nui Nai something de.. Forgot liao.. Anyway, their mochi is made of milk.. Very nice.. but didn't finish also because very filling.. After that, walked past this shop and see that they sell this hand made zodiac animals and placed on stone.. Damn cute lar.. So i brouoght one that have my family's zodiac sign.. Dad - Snake, Mum - Sheep, Sis - Rabbit, Me - Dragon, Chyna - mouse.. Actually got cheaper de but bigger de cuter, so i brought the bigger version de, cost NT600, which is like $20+.. Asked daddy to put inside his lorry.. ^_^ Had a photo holder behing the zodiac signs too.. Next time take family photo give him put.. =) After that, went to this shop selling BAGS!! Cheap bags somemore!! At first i went in from the left side of the shop, I chua dio.. Cause all NT2000-3000.. I was like WTH, such a cheap looking shop sell so ex ar!! Then i walk to the right side, WAH!! All around NT200! Which is like less then $10.. In the end, brought a big one for me, a small one for me also, and a medium one for mummy.. ^_^ Happy happy..
Then actually plan to go Fisherman wharf de.. But raining + windy + many shopping bag, in the end decide to head back..
Day 4 - Still raining.. So still cannot go Yang ming shan.. =( No place to go le, decide to go to the maid cafe and MOE center at ximending.. We had a hard time finding it too, cause it's at some alley.. But how we found it? All thanks to yuan yuan, say she want to go eat crepe, although didn't get to eat cause shop close liao, but just right opposite is MOE center!! So lucky lar.. Hahax.. went there, brought a Jacket with fur at the hood.. Damn shuai lar! and a short.. =) After that, went 2nd floor, another otaku paradise!! Manga store!! But as I need to control my luggage weight, brought 2 mangas only.. and some books cover and postcards.. After that, 3rd floor is the maid cafe.. Ordered bake curry rice.. didn't taste really good.. And plus early in the afternoon, not much appetite, esp when I already had breakfast in the hotel.. So didn't finish it.. Seriously too much food.. cause i took too much of the other food such as salad/soup/etc also mah.. But the maid quite good, still come ask me how come never finish, and ask for my feedback.. And after that still come and ask me if I want some bread.. =^_^= shy.. After that, no place to go le.. After looking at our map, decide to go Breeze center..
