as i walk alone in the cold rain,
my mind drifted away to the past.
to what we used to be
to the secrets we used to share.
how i wish you were here with me,
sharing the umbrella
in this lonely yet cold night.
whispering sweet nothings in my ear
i miss you so much.

Hey, i'm back from my Taiwan trip!!! 6 days, 5 nights, not quite enough really...=p. People who like cute stuff can go there!!! Especially the night markets, which we call pasat malam in S'pore. They sell bags, clothes, shoes, food, and cuty stuff like hp keychains, cartoon character figurines. But, i bought mostly hp keychains, those which you can customise, those which you can put your names and wishes. Got 2 hp keychains for my 2 best friends in poly, Lay Kuan and Kelly. Initially want to put Lay Kuan's chinese name, to make it more special, but i don't know how to write her chinese name!!! I regretted lah, should have asked her earlier!!! Haiz... I also got hp keychains for myself. Hee...It was irristible. Its not any cheaper lah, but nvm, fresh from Taiwan! LOL. $5 for one keychain...

Then day time, went to see scenary. There are lots of mountains there, and the scenary is nice. Will upload pics from taiwan soon on friendster and MSN messenger. Most of the lunch and dinner was provided. There was steamboat too for two meals! One is called shabu shabu...Haha, sounds familar yea? Japanese style wor~ Oh ya, talking about Japanese. Taiwan people service is damn good. You step into a shop only they greet you liao. "Huan ying guang ling", then they will say "kan kan wor", meaning take a look. Same as Japan ba, i guess. Very curteous. But, we Singaporeans not used to this type of service lah... They will keep on sticking to you and physcho you to buy their products -.-". Haha. Their chinese similar accent to China people, but not the strong... Biao jun hua yu...LOL. Its a chinese country, so all the signs and etc all in chinese, no english! For me its a disadvantage, cos my chinese also lousy...LOL. English not good, chinese also not good...haha. But, i prefer english still. There are lots of words in chinese which i do not know how to read. In Taiwan, you must know two languages to survive. Chinese and hokkien! Hokkien cos their president Chen Sui Bian, aka Ah Bian, is a Hokkien. Haha. But, sadly, my hokkien is hopeless. I don't know how to speak hokkien, but only understand abit... If you scold me in hokkien, i confirm understand!!! LOL. My dialect also fail!!! Arghh!!! Hahas... Overall, Taiwan has the same living standard as Singapore. That's in city area. In the villiage, arghh...very dirty lah...Haha. The toilet, not to mention. But, they are still not as good as Singapore yet, in the city. The toilets do not have automatic flush yet. Food, clothes, bags, shoes and whatever are not any cheaper, its the same as in Singapore. But, anyway, i still got myself 4 jeans, 2 longs ones, 2 3/4 ones. Haha.

Will miss the place there...especially the tour guide. He's a nice one... The tour was booked by my dad's friend who open a travel agency, so we got the hotel names and tour guide name and hp beforehand. Once i saw his name, i thought he was an old uncle...LOL. Same surname as my family. Huang Tsai Fu. In chinese, Huang (huang se de huang) Tsai (Zhao Cai Jing Bao de Cai) Fu (Xing Fu de Fu). Cai Fu, meaning very rich... LOL. Then when i saw him, i was so wrong, he is quite young, 35. Quite handsome also wor...LOL. Not like other tour guides who just talk only a little, he can talk for hours! He told us he can talk for 5 hours non-stop! Wow, really admire him... Then there was one day where we have to go past mountain road. As you know, mountain roads are very windy. Turn here and there de... Then he pei us during that mountain road talking to us all the way so that we will not feel any motion sickness... Aww~ He's simply the best...i think i will remember him for a long long time...=).

Okay, want to update taiwan photos le... Oh ya, not forgetting the group photo, our tour group, including the tour guide.
