I'm a Hand Model~!




First time in my entire life I'm doing this...
Helping my uncle/auntie... for their new catalogue ya...
Nice experience ya~... quite fun~
But my hands are aching quite badly now... heez...
I finally have abit of knowledge on how models work... especially Hand Models...
Thou mine as compared to the real big huha ones, is considered as nothing...
Anyway, the rule is everybody can move except you...
Once your hand has been placed in the ideal position you are not supposed to move ya...
Anything others will help you with it...
Well, the photographer was great~!...
Once he was in the frontline... doing photography for magazines (Her world, Female), etc ya...

The above fotos were taken using my pathetic hp's camera...
So is still not considered as the end 'product' ya...

P.S>> To thank my hardwork, i was being 'paid' with one of the accessories that i liked best, a bouquet of flowers, a self-portrait close-up photo, small hongbao and a pocket antique watch for my dad... hahaha...

Sweets/Chewing gum in cigarette packagings, Mashmallow in pad packagings, Marble Soft drinks (Dan Zhu Qi Shui), etc... Fun, Fun~!


Fisherman's Wharf~!



Good for couples, i mean during the night time...
Can take the boat/ship across to the opposite island and have a feast over there before coming back... (As told by my colleague...)
We didn't did that ya... the sun was too blazing... WE NEED WATER~!


Miramar Ferris Wheel~!



The largest ferris wheel in Taiwan~...
It takes about 17mins to complete one full round...
Proceed to the 5th storey of the shopping centre to buy your tickets~!!



Shilin Night Market~!



Famous Night Market~!...
Be careful ya... there's more to it in Shilin Market...
Don't just go to the one opposite the MRT station...


To End the Day: KTV @ Cashbox~!




Booked for 11p.m...
Who knows, people who sing at late nights got to be above 18 years old...
I'm the only one without ID... grrr... No room for negotiation...
Walked all the way back to get it ya... so sorry girls!...
So please please remember... wana sing KTV late at night? - BRING YOUR ID!!
KTV till 5a.m in the mornie!!
And guess what, the sky is BRIGHT!! See~~
















TIRED!!!!... 5 hours of singing, shouting, yelling, playing, drinking...
Energy drained...
Sleeping time!!

Taipei Part 3~!

Day 2 (Mornie):

Longshan Temple~!



If you're about to laugh at us pls stop it...
Everytime we mentioned that we visited the temple, everybody will go "HAHAHA"...
We aren't sure what's the funny part about it ya... Young ladies can't visit temples?
Btw i prayed infront of Yue Lao ya~~... heez...


CKS Memorial Hall~!



Never been to Taipei if you didn't visit this place...
Doesn't take you lotz of time... ;)


Jas was the only one that can step into the place after having to climb up a flight of stairs...

Shoes and sandals are allowed...
Slippers aren't allowed...
Improper dressing aren't allowed...

We were wearing slippers ya...
Too bad...

Taipei Part 2~!

Day 1 (Contd):



























Exploring time~!...
The starting of our trip...
The beginning of our leg-aching, body-aching, lack of sleep, shopping, etc.





















1st step: get a Easycard!... it works just like our ezlink card... and if you're lucky, you will get a card with a nice picture on it~! See mine:














First destination planned on our itinerary: Xinyi District Shopping Centres~!



This is where you can find the high-end products...
Is like our takashimaya... A bigger scale one of coz...
4 different buildings altogether if i'm not wrong...










Taipei 101~!!







Next: Wu Fen Pu~!




This is where you can get cheap clothes...
But bear in mind, No Trying ya...
And there won't be any fitting rooms to let you have a chance to ask "Can I Try?"

To End the Day: Raohe Night Market~!

There's a famous stall selling Pepper Pancake (Hu Qiao Bing) here...
Eat it while is hot ya... Not too bad~!
Oh ya.. Fancy wintermelon drink?
My after-drink comment:
Theirs taste weird, not pretty sure what they add inside...
Definitely the taste isn't the same as those canned type or home-made that we're used to...

Waiting to take off~~ We're off to Taipei pretty soon!

Chinese wordings~... Finally after 4 hours of flight journey, we've reached Taipei~!




















Don't be surprised o... There's actually someone coming to pick us up k~... heez
We took up airport transfers from our hotel la...
But it's quite saddening to see that piece of paper with your name written on it, was put on top of the plants instead of a person holding it stupidly... haha... =P
The clever hotel in-charge accidentally mistaken that they are supposed to pick-up one lady... instead of 5~...
Gotta spilt~~~ 3 and 2...







In the car........

Our hotel.............. abit different from what we saw online ya...

Our so-called family room... No space for us to walk!!... and No place for luggage!!

What's Love~!

What's love...?
Having to plan for the future together?
Blaming your partners for not getting good grades during sch days?
Stopping your partners not to go for job interviews that's not offering your ideal pay?
Dreaming your way through in getting a car, a diamond, living in a condo, etc., in few years time when you're the one still studying?
Breaking up after a year plus when you realized your partner can't hold up to your luxury expectations?
Oh my god, having to hear all these is enough for me to bang my head against the wall... and who says i'm materialistic... aren't the above sounds more materialistic than I do? heez...

I know everyone will have some sort of expectations for their life-partners...
But at least dream realistically ya, or at least you should stand-by his/her side because you have choosen him/her YOURSELF...
Saying something like, because of you i've dropped my expectations... (e.g. changing the idea of living in a condo after marriage to a 5-room HDB flat)
This is something NOT very encouraging...
Seeing other people getting 4-5k per month and expect him/her to start his/her 1st job with at least 1.8-2K per month...
You think you own the company? The feeling is just like you haven't learnt how to crawl you wana fly...

You may think is natural for everyone to set expectations... is natural for everyone to aim high... Ever wonder how this minimum expectations can hurt oneself's pride unknowingly? Sometimes you will need some experience in work first before you can hit it high ya... One step at a time pls... haiz...

Is this Love?... Or isitz realistic Love?...

1st day in school~!

Yesh, i went to school... SCHOOL!! (once was my 2nd home, now a stranger to me)
1st lesson for me... but officially it shld be the 3rd...
One i wasn't in town... Another one i was sick at home, restoring energy... ;)
3 hours of lecture... fully used by the lecturer... means... with only 15mins break-time... and no early dismissal... = *hungryz + tired*

Forgot to print my time-table... called Ms Elepoon for help... happily waited for her msg... and went in to Lec Hall 4.02...
Hmmm... everything seems wrong... i saw people with mathematics 'textbook'... I'm having Organisational Behaviour... not maths... faster ran out of the room after confirming! = gosh! *paiseh*
Called Ms Elepoon to double confirm... she's not at her office already!!... and she still can ask me... "How you know isn't correct?"... "You needa take maths also ritez"... "Go 4.20?"... etc...
Omgz... i needa get to the correct Lect Hall!!!!...
Well, luckily i've got nice hardworking colleagues... if not i would have just banged the wall and skipped my lesson AGAIN...
The correct Lect Hall should be 2.08~~~!!!! = 4.02 was for Mon and Tues lessons... heez

1st half of the lesson was boring...
Nearly fell asleep... Luckily my friend from another lect hall msged me...
Woke me up frm the sleepy mode...
WE'VE GOT NO FRIENDS~!!... and we saw quite a few with 'gangs' le lor... sobz...
Next, Lecturer went thru the guidlines for the module...
Group work was mentioned... oh man... 5-6pax in a grp...
I've only got myself and myself...
And if you know me, i need people to open their mouth 1st before i do ya...
Luckily those sitting around me asked... = phewz... Pure HENG~
I guess i'm the youngest inside the grp...
And i think i've gotta speak up rather soon... = Where's the so-called "bubbly" me?
If not they will think i'm someone that won't contribute and outcast me sia... = Alone AGAIN!

after tots... Can i give up?... = NO~

Finally Back~!

I'm backs...
Back with lots of things... that made my bones felt like breaking while carrying them all back...
My lugguages were HEAVY... but after unpacking i realized i didn't really had lots of things back huh... I'm left with each a box of local delights only ya...
Have been kind of well-behaved during the 1st four days...
Waking up on time, trying to keep my body ok by not falling sick...
But then who noes, effort all gones just b4 we leave for airport...
Made all worried, made all think that i'm lost/missing/kidnapped...
And i guess bad things will stay longer in people's brain as compared to better ones... thou i maybe haven't got any of the better ones...
I'm sorry for what had happened... and sorry if i've left another bad impression to you all...

More Taipei Trip updates when i'm free...
