麻将 + 鼎泰豐 + The Mind Cafe

The guys - Junhao, Shuping, Shermian, Leon - got me a mahjong set for my 21st birthday. Ha, didn't know if i missed out any. Anyway, i went to change the color of the tiles to this:




Not bad right the color. Ha! The initial color was marble floor tiling color. LOL.

Anyway, went for WINGS Competition @ CCK Stadium yesterday. Did ok for both 400m and the 4x100m.

Went to celebrate Shuping's 20th birthday @ Orchard with Junhao, herself, Shermian and Fatimah. Ate at Ding Tai Feng. Queue was long. Not horrendously long but, waited quite a way.










birthday girl and bf - Mr Tay




the mango puddings kinda not bad. after trip from taiwan, mango seems to be my fav for puddings and drinks. lol


after which, we went to minds cafe at Pricept Street, just across Paradiz Centre. Nut and Terry came after a party and work respectively. I thought it was kinda cool place to chill out, have some hell lots of fun with friends.


this was the Simpson' CLUE. In search for a murder, it's weapon and the venue. OK la, not too bad.



I thought that Terry's game was more fun. LOL. This exchanging cards kinda thing. Can't remember the name for it.

Taiwan, Taipei - Day 1

{

Taiwan trip was plan sometime ago. But booking was kinda rush as I was still deciding to go - No money la. Ha. But Sisters sponsored me the trip. So I'm grateful. That's their birthday present to me anyway. Thanks once again.

16th May
Suppose to meet like 11am. As usual, I was late. Reached airport at 12pm. Ha! We'll be flying by Jet Star. Budget la, paiseh. Ha. It's only a 4hours flight.




What are they looking at man?


Ha, Welcome to Taiwan.


I thought this was cook. 'Newspaper Vending Machine'. Ha! But I only sees it at airport.


Went to inquire and bought the bus ticket. Paid like 132NT. The coach dropped us at the nearest Metro - a.k.a MRT - Station which we had to walk about 5mins to our Hotel




Our Hotel. Yomi Hotel.


Me and Nut's Room. Queens Size bed sia.


Anyway, so happen that they have adult channels. Lol. No need further detail nor explanation right? =)

Got down the plan, got to hotel was around 8pm. Anyway, there's no time difference. Our first stop was night market - 士林夜市. Took the metro there.



They don't use Ez-Link card. They use CHIPS!!!!!! Likewise; Tab-based (Sensor).

It was Friday night, which is why the market was crowded with people. But heard from the cab drivers it's always filled with so many people. Ha.











Ha, Taiwan 士林炸鸡排. Superb. 101% nicer than Singapore's. It's Crispy-er. It's Juciy-er. It's just Fabulous.

They sausages...









Look at the MUA JI. It's like the size of a SIEW MAI la. Lol.

The BBQ Corn which Junhao got Conned. Eventually, we gave it a name - The Conned Corn. Lame indeed.



Hmmmmmmmmm. Damn Conned Corn block 1/3 of my face. KNN.


士林 was kinda big. There's a lot of entrances and exits. Ha. We kept searching for the 炸鸡排 too. Ate like 3 or 4 I think. Ha.

Then, we came to this section, where they have games, just like our Pasa Malam.






Then there this section where they sell pets.

Baby Husky sehhh. Gosh............

The mini-pig!!!




Guinea Pigs................


Guinea Pig after 1 yr...

My god. Looks cute sia. Anyway, they don't stink leh. Ha.




Ha. That's the end of Day 1. Lot's to walk. Lot's to see.


{

Anyway, have some comments regarding Taiwan's 'MRT' and local's MRT.





They actually get into Queues, despite the long crowded station. They drew lines so people can follow along the way into the train. Systematic isn't. Or maybe their Attitude. Taiwanese are very sociable - at least to me for the 5 days. Very courteous. Very discipline.

1)They queue up orderly.

2)Allow the people to get down from the train FIRST, before they would go in.

3)They will NOT block the pathway, not allowing other people to get into/getting out of the train.

4)They'll not sit on designated seats made for Elderly, the Pregnant Woman etc.

5)They'll stand one one side - RIGHT SIDE - of the escalator in order to allow people who're in rush to use the LEFT side.

As the above pointers. I see none occurring in Singapore. I wont even use FREQUENTLY. It's just not happening. People here rush to get into the train like there's no tomorrow.

I feel lugubrious.
