Surprisingly I was going on a trip to Taiwan city a.k.a Taipei with my polytechnic classmates; Rachel, Qiuli (my best friend’s friend) and her mother.
Her mother is certainly a nice one to hang around and social person. We took the afternoon flight which is around 1pm flight. We ate at the “Kopitiam” there, for me I took “Momaikai” and hot barley drink. Rachel was with her boyfriend before we took off from the airport. Being in the airport for the first time in my 21 years, they afraid that I would get lost that’s why we ended up walking in pairs. I saw a lot of duty-free product like Rachel favorite brand; Chanel and other stuff that caught my eyes was “Swatch”. The piece of watches there you might not found it outside and same goes for the price there was pretty fair enough.
We left without buying anything there since we were already almost late. The Jetstar plane we took had a pretty small cabin with seats that was just enough for you to sit, not really comfortable to sleep. The flight was supposed to be 4h ours yet we ended up pretty later than expected to take off since the two or three Singapore Airline plane and other planes like Tiger were taking off in front of ours. The motion of taking off and landing on were abit harsh but of course less excitement than taking roller-coaster sort of rides. Everything turned out quite good except the timing we reached the Tao Yuan Airport. It was around 7.30-8pm when we reached the KiLin Hotel by Asia99 Coach since we were taking their package; 1Day Tour plus Free and Easy. We went for dinner after we changed our clothes in the hotel room (1209) to nearest street from the Hotel known as “Hua Xi Jie”. We ate street food there on the way to night shopping. Only the lst night there I must say, Rachel and I got separated from Quili and her mother team and we went shopping by ourselves when we had already bought 6 pieces of clothes including 1 for my bro and two slippers. I also bought 3 set of bras, opps! We not only bought Hello Kitty Series of Figures, we also went to “Arcade” to play catching soft toys that we used to play a lot when we were young. Really!! We spent quite a lot in this way on the lst night!.
The next day morning, we went on 1day tour to famous places around Taipei, place u heard from that Taiwanese variety show, like “jiu fen, zhong yi tang, meng gu kao rou, and shilin night market”. At Shilin night market, we ate at one of the stores “ Smelly beancurd, fried egg oysters, XXL fried chicken cutlet with cheese and ham and bubble mik tea. After taking our sort of “dinner”, the next stores we visited was fishing stores, types of fishing includes small guppies using paper-made net, small turtle and live Prawns using sataysticks tied with metal hook. I tried out the prawns. Out of surprises, I hooked up 7 big prawns using only three stick which sell at 10 buck(Taipei dollar) total only $1.50 Sg dollar. though I failed miserable when using the lst one. They were then grilled alive. ( I only know about it at the end of game).It was a tiring day. Next day onwards we went our own free and easy tour. We had been to Taipei Zoo “Southeast Asia biggest Indoor Zoo”, Taipei 101, NewYork NewYork shopping mall and others. Also we went to “XiMenDing” to shop, eat n take pics. At night, we went to Clubbing in the night club, Luxy. Alst day of the trip we went to Main Taipei underground CityHall station to shop and I bought some model of “Gundam Seed Destiny” Japan animation.
Next day, we ate our daily breakfast at hotel n left with the coach we came with at 3pm and reached Singapore Changi Airport at11pm, taking cab home, I reached home at 12pm.

~Thinking~ Have you lost someone you loved who you always wanted to remember no matter when and where?
People around us change like we do, we just yet to realise it ourselves. Perhaps this is what life is about.
It's a blessing to have someone side-by-side with u. Does the one u hope to be always turns up when u need the most? Probably not for me..but i am here standing still.
Have u ever get lost in the crowd and hoping people to find u. From where im standing, im getting tired of waiting at the same spot for people to come for mi instead im always the one to find the others.
Will precious memories be forgotten and will all relationships last? There is not any clue to it at the moment.
However if we treasure them while we still have them and live our lives to the fullest, we will not leave any regrets behind. Let the lights shine through your way.
Well don't give up now! Don't give in to unhappiness and fear nor darkness. Live as what it is, You is you. This may be common sense but not all of us can do it. Put in our best ba!
Right now, i still have my persistance.
