welcome 2 taiwan!
okay, i tried to imitate the taiwan colour thing.
but i dont think it really worked.
okay, so here i am.
after 4 hours 10 minutes in plane and 9 hours of sleep,
i'm back in singapore.
and the time now is 1.29pm.
took the plane at 8.30 yesterday and landed at 12.17am i think.
slept at 2.30am.
i dont really know where i can start with.
cause i dont really know to describe this trip.
and i think i left my brain somewhere in taiwan.
there are a couple of things that were boring.
but some that simply thrilled me.
so i guess i will just start off anyhow.
this trip was more of a new experience trip then a shopping trip.
but that's true though.
i didnt sign up for a shopping tour.
basically, i bought very very little amount of stuff this time round.
except for a couple of bags, a couple of jackets, a somewhat pencil box, socks, a pair of shoes.
... and pineapple tarts?
couldnt buy much things because :
1. it was like winter in taiwan. temperature mainly 13-18 degrees. so, the clothes are mainly long sleeves or jackets with lots of fur. so, you know. i cant possibly buy them back. i will look like ba zhang in them. or people will probably think i'm crazy, i'll be a rolling ball.
2. 西门町 and 士林夜市 are like flooded with people? if there was a squeezing competition, i'll lose terribly. i will probably be flunked across the road, and then in that terrible busy road, 123456789 vehicles will just roll over me, and then.. there wouldnt be any and then. throughout the walk, i was like some little kid clinging onto my sister's bag. but 士林夜市 is much more crowded. 西门町 is much better.
3. very little time to walk. we are only like given 1 hour or 2 hours at most. and my lazy parents cant be bothered to go out at night on our own. but nevermind, at least hotel got tv to watch.
okay so,
reached singapore airport at around 11+ at night on the first day.
ate my 晕机 medicine too soon, and i was already half falling asleep at like 1.30am.
and i wasnt on the plane.
and then i had a terrible time on the plane.
and it was so WASTED!
the cream cheese cake is like so nice, and i barely ate one mouth.
i spent the rest of 3 hours controlling my puke.
i got to sit beside the window. (hahahaha!) cause my mother exchanged with me.
but the minute i settled on the seat, i felt so guilty.
i was thinking that my mother rarely get to sit near the window and see the scenery and i'm like an ass desperately wanting to sit by the window.
so i asked, "妈妈你坐过这里吗？"
then she said, "坐过。"
and then i said, "okay, i not guilty liao."
hahaha.
okay, i decided not to crap so much.
i'll just highlight the main points of the trip.
_______________________________________________________________________
#1. HOTELS
this may sound retarded.
BUT, this part is one of the part i enjoy during the trip.
you know if you are like in malaysia, throughout the trip you stay in the same hotel?
but nope, this time in 8days, 7 to be accurate, i stayed in five different hotels.
the first hotel was good and bad.
good being it looks good.
nice furniture, nice mirror, nice tv, nice bed, nice toilet.
toilet is so important in hotels, i tell you!
not good because i was the first day i stayed in a hotel.
and i totally dislike staying in hotels.
i dont know why.
i find them umcomfortable and scary.
and normally first day i cannot fall asleep.
but i did anyway, haha. must be too tired.
i remembered i slept at 11.30pm, and i woke up at 4.00am.
and i felt very uncomfortable la.
okay, i dont know uncomfortable of what.
i was just being paranoid. -.-
then i fell asleep somehow in the middle of feeling uncomfortable.
and i woke up around 5 plus because of a feeling of vibration.
not the phone, but the bed.
i felt someone shaking my bed.
and i was very very sure it shook for around 10 seconds?
but i didnt know why i didnt open my eyes.
and when i did, it stopped already.
and i was freaking scared cause i thought something was shaking my bed.
hahahaha.
but the next morning during breakfast, everyone was talking about it.
why?
cause that wasn't a something shaking. it was just an earthquake.
and earthquakes are common in 花莲.
so that was it for the first hotel and that's the first interesting thing i experience during the trip, an earthquake.
the second hotel was MYGODDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!
it is totally gorgeous and totally bigbigbigbigbig.
and first time in my life i stayed in a six star hotel.
hahahahahahahaha.
each BED is queen size one.
and the tv is flat screeeeen.
and the toilet is BIG!
it had a hot spring inside the toilet.
i can just sleep in the toilet, haha.
i was totally excited in the toilet.
and the room was facing a huge mountain.
but it looked extremely scary at night.
and then stupid things had to happen in the room.
firstly, i was kind of freaked out when the lights keep on going off at first.
cause the detector thing was spoilt.
then, this is the part when it got so stupid.
I AM SO STUPID.
i was going to charge my phone.
and then i, being some retarded person, didnt know how to use the adaptor.
so you know you are suppose to attach this thing to that thing,
and then, i DIDN'T.
i just happily insert that thing inside the socket.
and then.
"ZAP!" i got electrocuted.
and the electricity travelled from my thumb to the arm.
-.-
i totally screamed like some chicken and then my sister and my mother was looking at me like 0.0 this.
and then i proceeded to rolling onto the bed, grabbing my thumb that was in pain and numb.
retarded,retarded,retarded,retarded.
so that's something interestingly dumb that happened.
the third hotel.
should be the least comfortable but interesting hotel during the trip.
it was a supposedly to be a floating wooden house (in water).
but didnt realise it until the next day morning.
that room is made of wood.
and the toilet looks quite dirty.
and then bed is totally hard.
supposedly to be some japanese massage bed.
but then i end up having a painful spinal cord next morning.
it was an not so good hotel, but the place is gorgeous too.
i will blog about that place next time.
the fourth hotel.
i personally love the design of this hotel.
it has this feeling of someone's bedroom.
not exactly a hotel room feeling.
it was this nice little platform with a japanese table.
and two most comfortable beds i slept during the trip.
and the toilet was veryvery nice also!
and the lights in the hotel was the nicest also.
and then that was the only hotel i manage to sleep throughout the whole night without waking up.
i want my room to be looking like that next time leh.
haha.
the last hotel.
well, it was small.
i like.
i found out that i got difficulties in sleeping in big hotels.
the bed was very comfortable also.
i think maybe it was because the last two days we returned back to the hotel very late.
around 11 + or 10+.
the bathtub is sparkling clean.
and the room cleaning service is marvellous.
slept well in that hotel too.
so this is what i think the hotels.
in general, i think it's very good.
(: because i think most of the money is like spent on booking these hotels.
no wonder the food..
ah nevermind.
i'll continue next time.
anyway this post is suppose to be yesterday's post.
but then i dont know what i did yesterday so..
ya.
i think my brain is still in the plane.
