WELCOME 2 TAIWAN 16.05.2008 (II)

Finally.. After the long uploading time.. Some of the best Taipei Memoirs Pics...

We're shocked that the vehicles in Taipei are real speedy with cars stopping inches beside you and scooters driving in corridoors!

Our 1st Dinner in Taipei - Ding Tai Feng is amazingly delicious. Much better than the outlets in Singapore!

We're amazed by this special blue boxes in their Metro stations.. Kinda protecting the ladies at night from "wolves" ya? Lol..

Guess this is the only stall that we've found selling delicious breakfast around our Hotel district. Gonna miss its egg and bacon wrap!

Nice bakery around Long Shan area selling attractive and appetising cakes!

This is Xi Men Ding!

Had our lunch in this well-known-in-SG restaurant - Modern Toilet. Thumps Up!

How can we missed Taipei 101?!

Finally got a chance to get a feel of one of their famous activities - Hot Spring!

Hohoho~! My Favourite Night market in Taipei - Shi Lin!! Good food, good shopping.. Wat's more to ask?

Though im not in to History.. But this "museum" is much better and livelier than SG's! P.S. Taiwan's famous Fruit is BANANA!

Our 2nd last station of our 5D4N Taipei Trip - SOGO. Grabbed a chance to take pic with this lovely lobby attendant who's nice enough to be willing to take pic with moi this si gin na.. Lol..

Well well... Mr Soo's in Taipei.. Off he goes for his remaining achievements - Toys Giapping. My gosh.. Looking at his achievements and another 2 not in the pic (its in my hse nw.. lol).. He's a real master in toys giapping!!
Bye Taipei!!! I'll Be BACK~!!

WELCOME 2 TAIWAN 16.05.2008 (I)

Im loving Taipei~!! Food there is especially special, big in portion and cheap! Night shopping there is absolutely crazy! 1st market place that we went was Wu Fen Pu. Kinda disappointed coz there wasnt much for me to buy. Sizes were small, shoes were common, bags and wallets were outdated. But guess my day came when we visit Dan Shui and Shi Lin. Spent almost half my currency over there!! Goods were especially cheap.. printed with "Made in Taiwan". Guess that's kinda memorable thing to buy over there coz we cant really find many goods with prints "Made in Singapore".

Hot springs were fantastic! Though its like dipping yourself in a bathtub.. the ambience is simply undescribable. A total relaxing place after long hours of shopping or after long hours of work.

7-11 and many other convinence stores were interesting! With photocopiers inside their stores, all sorts of interesting food. Even their breads look so delicate and appetising with the nice-and-not-so-cheap-quality wrappers! Drinks sold there were special. Well.. erm.. i guess we cant find them in SG that's why i find it special? That stupid Ben Dan kept saying im Sua Gu lo.. =.=

People there were extraordinary friendly and helpful compared to the people here in SG. With students showing you and bringing you the way to your destination. And i mean real ESCORTING, walking with us along, helping us in our map reading. In SG, the best we do is point to the direction. Haha! Made us kinda feel sorry if we are not polite to them in return.

Here's our itenary:

Day 1: Dinner at Ding Tai Feng.. Jalan2 around the streets back to our "M"otel
Day 2: LongShan Temple > Xi Men Ding > Taipei 101 > Wu Fen Pu > Rao He
Day 3: Bei Tou Hot Spring > Dan Shui > Mirama Ferry > Shi Lin
Day 4: Xing Tian Gong Temple > Taipei Story House > Taipei Main Station U/G Mall > Xi Men Ding > Hello Kitty Shop > YongAn Market
Day 5: Taipei Sogo > Breeze Centre > Airport

Its never enough over there. I will surely go back to Taipei / Taiwan. The next time round.. More sightseeings and exploring~!!

Fresh Graduate

I've got an answer from my team lead finally. Not what i expected. Guess that's reality. Disappointment from company, disappointment from superior, disappointment from friend. Lack of motivation at all. Dint even satisfy our physiological needs.

Thanks to Chingu, Ms see, Sean and Aileen who supported me and guide me the way.

Thanks to Janice, Bang2 and Lionel who listened to me and encouraged me.

Thanks all who were there when i needed some talks.

I'll be strong.. May the lion power be in me..

有感而发 (II)

情 、

女人都想找到一个对她好,情深似海的男人。
但,当他的一往情深不是对跟他在一起的女人时,那深情,等于无情。

在爱情的国度里,我们都患有不同程度的眼疾。
不是远视,就是近视,更糟的是失明。

有些时候,我们会和自己不爱的人谈恋爱。
我们是要
借用一个开始,来交换一个了断

曾经独自毫无目地的出现在他有可能会出现的地方,只为了能看他一眼。
曾经阅读和看他喜欢的电影与节目,只为了能和他有更多话题聊。
曾经埋头苦读的考好成绩,只为了拉近我们的距离。

只要一切是为了他,虽然他并不在意,我的心里也会有那么一丝
感伤的甜蜜

Coming soon!

COUNTDOWN TO TAIPEI: 2 DAYS

Browsed through some of my friend's pics in her friendster. Hmm.. Hairstyle really make a big difference and impression on how people perceive you. Similar to me, my friend belonged to the category of hair that are long and straight. But she have cut it to a little bit too short and bobbed kinda hairstyle. Nice!

With long hair, she looked feminine and studious (not nerdy but rather those who look quiet and innoccent). Now, she looked crazy, bubbly and i think that brings out her real character. Anyway, though she gave me 2 different feel, she's still pretty and nice afterall. Haha..!

Looked through our itinerary and circled out the places that we'll be going on the map. Hmm.. like wat Jan said, travelling time > Shopping time. Hahah! Guess that's what travelling is all about since we're in another country. Anyway, will go back for sure! Haha!! Mr Yeo.. dont worry la.. we will be fine over there. Hahaa! If you cant contact me on 21st May (wed).. rmb to dial 999 ah.. lol! But anyway, thanks Mr Yeo for helping me with the map-reading. Lol.. Omma Lim is a freak in reading maps.. she's only good in cooking.. Lol~! Also, thanks Mr Yeo for the souveniors! Will surely get something worth your teaching over there. lol!

Adios my friends! Omma Lim will be back soon..... Meanwhile.. take care yall~!!

Tired!!!

COUNTDOWN TO TAIPEI: 4 DAYS

In another few hours i will be waking up, going for work AGAIN! Sounds like i hate my job? But surprisingly NO! Whaha!! But likewise, i dont love it too. Ha! I juz like the feeling of being occupied with work during working hours. Just like today. I totally did not keep track of the free time i have or i am able to gain. I've been given tasks to do one after another! Hahaha!!

Luckily its all kinda simple and not brian-racking tasks. If not you'll see Miss Lim with her face frowing and "endulging" in her own world. Hahaha! Today's quite a pleasant day too. Not much stressing of negative face muscles.

If everyday could be like today or better~~~~ Omma Lim will be a happy woman.

Casual Day

COUNTDOWN TO TAIPEI: 6 DAYS


Met up with our Taipei-touring members yesterday. We've changed our currency and decided on our itinerary. Well well.. no Ktv for us i guess coz no point 2 person paying for the price of 6. So guess that's the only major activity we have to decide when we get there. After looking at the rough guide of our itinerary, 5 days in Taipei is really not enough! Like what Jan said, we'll definitely be going back there down the years!

Bought tickets to an orchestra performance "Festival Fantasia" too. Surprised?! LOL.. Dont think i dont know how to appreciate arts can.. I listen to FM96.3 one wo~. Lol.. Chingu and me were so excited that we kept imagining what will happen on the performance day etc. Our outfit, hair-dos, sitting posture and one very big concern - whether we'll doze off after minutes of the concert! Whahah! So funny!! We kept picturing those foolish acts that we might do and i think the whole journey from Millenia walk to Marina to City link and inside the train to Boon Lay is full of our laughter! Hahaha!! Well, I think its not surprising if our "what-if" scenarios actually happen! Coz we're famous for our foolish and stupid acts. Lol~!


Played badminton with CBG and BIL today, there's this very irritating Cheena woman who cheated 45mins of free badminton playing time! She approached us and told us she'd remembered wrongly the booking time of her badminton slot and wanted to play with us since she's 45mins early. Well... BIL gracefully accepted her request but i was kinda sore throughout, and especially when we ended our game.

I mean its all right to have another person playing with us since we are short of 1 player, but shouldnt that person at least offer to pay for her playing? Well, we might have rejected her offer to pay but the prob is she didnt even offered! And it's not as if we're that close. We are STRANGERS! Cant she show more politeness? Maybe i have strong issueswith Cheena people that's why im kinda particular and will tend to pin-point at their human ethics. Haha!

Anyway.. i've been having bad times during work after my return from my long leave. Its not the work load that's been giving me prob. Rather, its the Herzberg's Motivator factor - Recognition that's lacking in my work. Haiz. Why cant everything be settled smoothly? Does anyone care for their subordinate? Hate the feeling of working for nothing.

Dialect Nerd

HohohO! Omma Lim is really a nerd in her dialect - Hokkien! Years of hearing from parents and friends yet i still cant speak 100% fluent hokkien! My gosh~! Even the pantry aunty mocked at me - "aiyoh~ (in hokkien) you hokkien people dono know to speak hokkien?! Die lo~" =.=

Hmm.. Is it a blessing or a disaster not knowing how to speak this "mother" language? Haha!

Now great.. Im really famous for a dialect nerd not only among my friends but to a new category - My colleagues! Hahaha!! This is wat happened among the conversation of me and my colleagues in erm.. hokkien..

Aunty: Eh.. You tomorrow no come, den i take the key from who?
Ms See: I pass to ShuinDee.. You take from her.
Me: Eh... I tomorrow no come in wo.. i Thurs den come in.

And i think i've pronounced the "thursday" in hokkien wrongly. I made the word sound like "die" in hokkien instead. Hahaha!!

Everybody around (Aunty, Ms See, Wendy, Sean, Eng Chuan, Regeit) : WHAHAHAHAHAH!! DIE AH DIE AH!! Really DIE ah!!!

Me: =.= (I shouldnt have spoken hokkien since i know im not good in it)

To Janice and Lili.... Im sorry~!!! I lose faced again!!! wrong hokkien pronounciation!! Took a long time to correct my "i tell you" in hokkien - Wa ga le gong(2) to the right one Wa ga le gong(4). Now... another hokkien word for me to correct! - Bai xi(4) to the right one Bai xi(3)!
