Unbelievable meet ups

This blog shld be posted yesterday... here u go...

Event one
All of us met this group of people at Singapore Changi Airport before taking the flight to Taipei. So we came across many young Singaporeans taking the same flight... At the same time, Calvin saw his friends. So we say hi to his friends. So we flew to Taipei with many youngsters on the same flight which was very noisy and resulted a sleepless and tiring journey. So at this point of time, nothing interesting and significant happened. Is just an impression that so many youngsters and never really remember who are calvin friends, so everyone on the plane just seems to be like some how related through friends' friends. (hmm hope u get the idea)

Event two
Korin, Winnie and I went to Luxy to try out the "Ye Dian" (Club). Then while I was waiting for these two princesses to go toilet to "bu chuang" (makeup), I overheard a familiar Singapore asscent. Then I realised that there was a group of Singlish speaking people beside me. I looked over and found that they were very familiar. The first thought in my mind was "Heh.... I think they are Calvin's friends who we met at Changi Airport that day, so coincident!". So I say hi to them and asked them whether they were Calvin's friends. So one of the guy replied yes and he also mentioned that Calvin was in Tai Zhong... ??? ... So I thought maybe he dunno Calvin was with us all along... so I also never pursued the location of Calvin further. Then we were like just chat for a while while waiting Korin and Winnie. Then I told Winnie and Korin that they were Calvin's friends we met at the Airport... Subsequently, we saw this group of Singaporean Calvin's friends throughout the night and somehow very qiao, as in the club so big but still able to keep bumping into them.

Event three
We went back to hotel and asked Calvin about his friend and he said he dunno this guy. hahahah. so I actually recognised the wrong person... so never mind... nothing special... just pai sei and thats it. thinking the story had ended... but it wasn't. On the last day before we left Taipei, we saw them once again at the MRT. Then once again so qiao... then korin said a magic word... If we saw this guy again in Singapore, we must make friends and be good friends! All of us were like, where got so qiao one... come on la...

Event four
Who knows!!! Korin, Winnie and I today met up for some chit chat session. And we met this guy AGAIN! haha... really cannot believe it.. so qiao... Then all of us were like laughing and showing that kind of UNBELIEVABLE look... So end up we talked to this person who in the first place, no one knew him... then later becoz of so many times of met ups coincidentally... all of us decided to make friends.

Four times of met up... haha... where in the first place, none of us knew them and none of them knew us... then later we became friends... So many unbelivable met ups. Dunno wat to say... so funny... so conincidental events...

till now... is hard to believe this is really happening...

Unbelievably true

Fashion Sense

Omg… there are so many things to say about Taipei… The people there are so beautiful and their dressing sense is so much better than us… So people out there, make a “fashion” day for yourself by dressing beautifully and walk along orchard. I bet many will praise you for the great effort in making orchard road so happening. Haha. BTW, I can tell you something. Most of the people there are like Cai Yi Lin and Xiao Zhu wo…. Coz everyone is so beautiful…




Erm... of course this is the only exception in Taiwan... Anyway this is the famous Xiang Chang La Mei at Jiu Fen!


Food

No need to say much… FANTASTIC!!! But… you must prepare to try all food and also… get ready to have a battle with your stomach; you need a strong stomach to withstand all the stomach pain because of all the food (some are not very clean), you also need to battle off those build up fats you attained while having all the heavenly food.







Bubble Tea (spoilt by choices but still... I love my Bubble Milk Tea)



The pearls are free one... so many like no need money...


The DA JI PA!!! Big rite..



Mee Sua... very nice! Can't find the same taste in Singapore, not even the Geylang tou hua


A very big Mango / Strawberry Milk Ice



Some fried won tan...


This is like a bao thing... inside is pork and filled with boiling juice! It just ooz out manz!



Shopping

As usual… We shopped till drop… There were so many things to buy and we are spoilt with choices… Winnie bought a lot of Adidas stuff and Korin bought a lot of bags, shoes and local produced food. As for Matthew, he bought a lot of stuff for his friends. So next time when he go oversea… dun stand on ceremony, just ask him to help you to buy… hee. Dun say I say one ah. And for Calvin… he bought an unexpected stuff back to Singapore… And I had only discovered it when we touched down at Singapore. Guess wat… Tea Egg (Chai Ye Dan)!!! He put in a plastic bag and just carry it up on plane… omg.. unbelievable. And I think he really love it… coz every night he will go to 7-11 to buy 3X tea eggs to eat before he sleep. Haha.




Thats my shopping spree collection... still got food but nv take pic...




And we saw SHE before we left Taipei on the last day! Damn packed with all the "Fen Si" (fans)


I think that’s enough… picture says a thousand words… see for yourself!
