Grad Trip at Taiwan 2012 第二章

For my readers who have been waiting patiently since forever,
here's part 2!
Thank you for waiting:)
I'll see if there is a part 3!
Previously I had some limits to posting pics on blogger!
So scared that I wouldn't be able to do any pictured posts anymore.

Anyway, to solve some of that, some pictures will be in page format! :)

I'll try my best to blog with what I can remember right now okay!
Please correct me with the details!

Day 2 14/4/2012 (continued)
By the way, on the day we put makeup to Xi Men Ding,
the 302 roomies camwhored a bit, I realised. 
LOL
Here's one of em.
bu hao yi si put the rest here!

Somehow, I think day 2 ended!
:/
Having check through my 3 picture sources,
Audrey, Jiamin and Jerald,
no more traces of Day 2.
I bet we went shopping somewhere or something
haha.

Anyone remembers where we went?
Please enlighten me!
This shows the importance of photos haha.

(after being enlightened by Audrey)
No pics, as I have guessed, is because we went back Xi Men Ding to shop!
I really like their 路边摊s,
where I got 2 cardigans for NTD300.
2 for $15. so cheap!!

We were always going around,
spotting those NTD175 shops LOL.

I believe it was the day when 3 of us (jm, audrey, me) lost Minhui and Michelle.
So worried, dang!
Then we saw Bin and Eldred in the midst of finding them.
Luckily we found them after that.
It was also when we were so worried when we couldn't see the guys,
at the arranged meeting spot,
at the arranged time, 11pm.
Imagine, no form of communication,
in a foreign place.
Wait and wait.
and we thought we saw Howcher near the MRT exit LOL.
Howcher lookalike 90%!

Day 3 15/4/2012
Next morning,
This was something we did before meeting the rest.
#stupidthingswedo1
 





Any idea what we were doing here?
"Wenbin wenbin wenbin!"
*points*
Next pic,
"Jerald!!"
*points*
in the end, all the hands were just everywhere haha.

I swear this is much cuter and funnier when u look through Audrey's cam in fast forward speeds.
haha laughing as I look through them, remembering what we did.
 Hitting bin's butt.

Happy Howcher with his sharky!


出发!
坐高铁!

She looks like she's grabbing my hair, no?
Whenever we take the train, we learn to queue up nicely at the designated lines on the floor haha.

Itinerary #1
Taipei City Hall!
Any guess where we are going?

#Clue1


 #Clue2

Taiwan's famous tourist attraction,
Taipei 101!
:D
公车初体验 in Taiwan!
cos in order to reach here, we had to take a transfer bus at City Hall Station.
Guys striking model poses.
Howcher's leg always turns out weird idk why.

Then, we spotted this couple laji outside 101,
Aiyo, tsk tsk. R21 ahh!

 
The place where Jiong performs his cool water stunt!
Not touching a single drop of water, at all.
His desire to own the little boy, accomplished.
haha.

chc and thq doing some poses infront of a cool backdrop.

Taking pictures with the famous landmark there, LOVE:D

Girls' pic!

Guys into their modelling again haha!

But this is the best:)

We went a nearby shopping mall with MUJI!
Everyone bought so many marshmallows haha.
Girls in the toilet = camwhore.
Guys, "我们就知道."

Time for lunch!
Found our way to the famous


坂神炙热牛排 near 市政府!

#1 nice salad

#2 nice salad with yummy peanut butter bread! (toasted!)

#3 nice soup!!!

#4 nice sauces

The REAL thing.

Look at that thickness! Bet you can never find that in Singapore at the same price!!

Roomie feeding roomie.



#nophotoshop
Gosh, this really makes me salivate as I am blogging now.


Hole left in the middle.
Chi bao le!

On the way out, we saw this nice bakery.
Everyone went in and walked one round,
but nobody bought anything.
hahahha.
Nice things are always one level more expensive.
But look, they are really cute!

Everything also got the weidao.
Why Sg no have.


Itinerary #2
In order to go the famous TW wholesale shopping haven 五分埔,
first alight at 后山埤 station! (:

And you'll see this, just follow the directions!

100m left!
Spotted a hidden mickey:P

What we have all been waiting to bring back. MASKS:D

The last time I was here at 五分埔 on a tour,
I didn't get to shop much.
But this time round, it was different.
All the different aisles or main streets,
you can bet we would have walked past them.
WAH.
all the way seriously haha.
Once again, the guys and girls split for shopping again.

Anyway, from experience, 五分埔 isn't all fantastic as it claims to be ever since it became a tourist attraction.
Shop owners can tell you are not a local from your accent and they offer you a higher price than usual.
Though it sounds cheap to you,
it has already been marked up.
Nevertheless, there was this shop that sells all the clothes we found at Xi Men Ding at lower prices.
BUY BUY BUY!
That was one good thing haha.
I almost found the asymmetrical dress that I have been trying to find!
But too bad, it was a defect-ed one.
no buy no buy!

Agreed to meet at this cafe and wa laaa!

Rainy day and we walked to....
Raohe Night Market! 
You can say that 五分埔 and 饶河夜市is a combo package cos they are so close to each other!
Go shop shop first then eat eat.
Good right!

This was the day we took a really long walk (in a single file) to settle for a place for dinner.
Weather was being a wet blanket as it rained.
Dampened everyone's spirits too.

And we found this place to eat!
After dinner, some were tired and some wanted to shop.
So some headed back first and the remaining stayed.

The famous PG Taiwan bags can be found at 饶河夜市!
They have an outlet there.
Cheap cheap.

Howcher bought a belt I think! after much much contemplation!
And there's another thing about Howcher and his leopard preens.
Shoes also must find leopard preens!
Everrything also leopard preens!
lol.

The way back was the most memorable...
It was the formation of the "Running Man clique"! LOL
It was getting late and we had to find means to get back to hotel.
Staff in charge says we need to catch the last train.
D:

First, Audrey was being all Gary dashing to where she thought the train was.
The ones behind were like, WAIT!!! IT'S HERE!!!!!! (totally another direction)
Next, I was being all Kwangsoo (okay la I admit), being the last still nevermind,
dropped my shoe at the most critical period on the platform in the midst of running.
@.@
Luckily have Eldred lol.

PHEW and we got onto the train.
Shag. hahaaha.

Before that so jing zhang,
but after that it was really funny as we recalled and repeat and repeat what happened.

YAY:D

Group pic!

LOL doing some 老套 super heroes pose.
Guess the reason behind the existence of this photo here;)
Some reflection done here and there.

- End of Day 3! :) -

Day 4 16/4/2012
It was getting harder and harder to wake up early.
And to catch that breakfast before 11am.

Rise and Shine!
And here we are at the,

Melange Cafe!
Nearby our Hotel only!
Anyway credits to Michelle, Jerald and Dred who went to find where it is!
During the wee hours when everyone was still sleeping.

 Queuing up!



Down the staircase...


Finally we are in! 
 Spastic roomies!

Attempting the Poker face pose once again... 
 
 #nicetry.

I thought this was cute hahaha!

I really like this place.
The atmosphere, ambience, the menu, the setting of the furniture,
everything!
Wait till u see the real food itself!!!
See, even the menu itself is tempting enough.

Too spoilt for choices.

The real food is really as what it appears in the menu!

eee. why even the cutlery they use also so nice de!!!



Peanut butter caramel waffle!!!


This is ze bomb.
Famous Strawberry Waffles!
What we have all been waiting for!
If you can notice later in the pictures,
the waffle looks as though there are glitter on them!


Jiong mesmerised by his drink awww.


Cute dessert that fell off! awww.

Michelle did this. hahaha.

The "table clique" peekture! (Y)


Any idea what are doing?

THIS.

LOL.
& guess what happens after?

#toomuchsecretgardendrama.
but seriously, when you see your drink,

really very tempted to try the mustache thing ma!

So Audrey, are you giving it another try?

And we say goodbye to this beautiful place :'(
Even the dabao also so cute and exquisite.



point of this picture: the triangle can be removed and stuck the other end!
how thoughtful!

Afternoon's itinerary SHOP at Xi Men Ding, again!
Like again?
Yes again!

This time, we found 罗志祥's Show Luo's shop,
STAGE @ Xi Men Ding.

Nice deco outside.
Nobody bought anything.
Guess it wasn't any cheaper either.
Just went into the shop for the experience!
Haha.

LUNCH:
Famous toilet restaurant!
Modern toilet.

Browsing through the menu...
As I was still feeling full from the earlier meal at Melange Cafe,
I thought I'd just order a dessert.
Spotted this dessert for just NTD100.
Seems legit.

BUT,
I got a shock of my life.

This was the NTD100 dessert that came.
o.o
O.O
@.@
never would I have expected THIS.
 regret regret regret.
Thankful for the girls who helped me with it #^-^#

Same thing happened to the guys.
But they did not order just one,
There were TWO.
LOL.

 Having fun with the furniture.


 Spotting the similarities in our names;D
It was funny when we were praying hard for the paper to be on the 'right' side.
Last one with Jiong, hahahah.

After which it was raining and all.
We went into some random shops nearby for the guys.
And also umbrella shop!

Toilet break into a departmental store!
cool pic of Jiong being the Ironman!

Taken by photographer ojiamin. Super cool!

 And we left Xi Men Ding for....
 Jian Tan 剑谭 Station,
For 士林夜市:D


Dinner time!

Yummm 蚵仔煎


 Legendary 豪大炸鸡排!!!

Our fav game shop at Shi Lin with friendly shop owners!
 

Group pic!

Do visit this shop if you are at Shi Lin.
They are really nice!!

Elmos!

SHOPPPPPPP.
I think this is the day I had my most buys.
Shi Lin sells really cheap and nice shoes.
Going for NTD190 only!

But this was also the day when we got cheated of our money :'(
For the heat packs!
eee.
seems so useful during demonstration.
but doesn't do its job after first use.

- End of Day 4! :) -

PREVIEW of Day 5:
:P
Stay tuned!

Anyway,
most photos or maybe all are from Audrey's album.
Too many sources to refer,
I very luan!
So in the end used one only!
