Yo, back to blog again. Will be resting at 9 plus for a new unit tmr. Seriously I miss BMT now. How i wish we can book in again with my platoon mates again. But i know that will never happen.
Well, I am contented enough to take the plunge to go for a trip during our block leave. Taiwan is the place where we have decided to go.
On the very day where we were taking off, Meng Guan was late. We were all saying that he will be a bad tour guide as he can't even be punctual. LOL.
This is the first time i am taking SQ flight and i am pretty excited. Overall, i would say its really good service and i enjoy the flight a lot! Once we have reached, were sent to our hotel.
Chop chop, we went to SHI LIN NIGHT MARKET for our dinner. We were famished by then as the time is about 8 plus when we were at the market. Meng Guan did a good job in directing us in the MRT.
Back to Xi Men where we stay, we experienced an epic sight. All illegal stall holders run as fast as they could when they saw 1 policeman. LOL! It shocked the 7 of us. LOL till hotel. Gathering in the hotel for food is very fun! I like the feeling where we gather and talk everything under the roof! =)
Long San Shi is next and shopping at Xin Guang San Yue the next morning. Before evening, went Taipei 101. Scene was awesome man! =) Karaoke at 10.30pm after a walk at Taipei underpass shopping, which is like nothing much to see. LOL! Karaoke was real good and cheap! =)
Third morning was the worst. Meng Guan brought us to this mall that sells expensive stuff. We were all disappointed after travelling so far. Quite intense atmosphere between us then. Went str8 to the famous Wu Fen Pu for our shopping. Shopped the whole day.
Hmm, i had a very bad experience there. I was lost there. Literally lost! I was purchasing my shirt and they all went to the shops without notifying me. I walked down the shops but couldn't see anyone. OMG! I was panic and worried. Sense of insecurity makes my day down man! Eventually saw them while walking back the shop where i purchase the shirt. Without intention, i so-called tell them off as they left me behind. I pissed David as I looked at him most of the time, as though its all his fault. Man, mixed feeling made my day very bad from then.
As time passes and some cool down, felt so much better and we went to SHI DA NIGHT MARKET. Walked around as usual!
I could feel that Meng Guan is a little piss with us as we are not apprciative of his effort in planning the itinerary. Maybe we felt its a waste of time when we went to places that is not our interest. I know he didn't know it turned out like that, hence i regret making noise there. Sorry Meng Guan! I really appreciate your effort!
Next day, the whole day was for Theme Park, LeoFoo Village. I pushed my limits and took the scariest ride in my life. It was really fun man! At night, went to Shi Da again for another round of shopping. Back to Xi Men for food and Carrefour at 0100. Slept at 3plus.
ZONG ZHEN Memorial Hall was my last stop on Thurs morning. Ate Ding Tai Feng for lunch and then back to Xi Men for any last minute purchases. Oh god its so fast!
Yeah and thats the end of my Taiwan trip. I would say this trip is a trip for relaxation. In addition, it gave me the opportunity for me to experience how is it like to go on a holiday with friends. I have learnt lots of things during this trip, which is to be more patient and more understanding in various situation. If given another opportunity, i would definitely want to travel with this bunch of people again.(I am missing it now)- Pictures are all in facebook. =)
At current state, I am feeling sad. My heart is down. I think its because the fantastic Taiwan trip brings my mood to the max but its going to be down tmr onwards. The regimentation again tmr onwards. But luckily I got a slightly luckier vocation!
Gone emo after writing so much as I miss all activities in Taiwan! Miss it LOTS! Hope MP for the rest of the 2 years will turn out well! (Cross fingers)
PS: Thanks for all the fun Meng Guan, Kah Wang, Hong Hock, David, Nicholas and Teck Soon!Labels: I love Taiwan
