Taiwan: of their delicacies and 'Xiao Chi'(part 2)

this restaurant that i went when i was in Taipei was one-of-a-kind. it is owned by a lady boss who loves to paint abstract art. we thought it was an art gallery when we reached the place..lol..

it really doesn't look like a restaurant, does it? the red thing at the left of the pic is some kind of sculpture. it's not that clear in this pic but there were actually a lot more art pieces drawn by the owner.

Taiwan: of their delicacies and 'Xiao Chi"(part 1)

this was what we ate after arriving in taiwan.. it's horrible(it's actually not that nice nia) and it really gave me a bad impression on taiwan..

>radish soup with meatballs and fried mihun/mee

HOWEVER, the rest of our meals were great...

"Xiao Chi"(hawker food)

>this is 'Chow tou fu'..it really smells but it was tasty when u eat it with the vege and chilli sauce

> it's like mihun...the way the auntie made it was like making 'la mian'.. and it's kinda sticky but i've forgotten what is the name liao...

> in the process of making 'oh wa chian' or is usually called fried oyster in malaysia, the bow of oh chian we bought(the taste is slightly different from our local ones)

>these strawberries are product of taipei..it's so juicy and sweet although they're kinda small unlike the ones you get from cameron highlands..

> grilled corn, fried bird's egg, grilled squid

mandarin> ni men yuo liu kou shui mah??

Taiwan: Intro

my family and i visited taiwan during the CNY break.. sorry for the super late posting 'cos i was busy with my college's assestment..

here's a picture of the city of taipei




i'm sure all of you will have the thought, "wah, you've been to taipei 101"..
but actually i didn't have much impression of this magnificient skycraper. the reason: it was raining and we couldn't have a nice view of taipei 101 as it was quite misty. you are a person who love high-end fashion brands..i bet any brands you name,they have it there!!!

since i'm a huge fan of EVAN YO, i some more that that i would have the chance to bump into him.. yes..i'm dreaming...lol...

nope, that's unfortunately not the pic i took of him in taiwan...this was the one when i went for his autograph session in penang..haha!!

The Staring penyakit: PART 2

well...it seems she hasn't recover from her illness yet...now even angelin has experienced her annoying stares...i think she doesn't do her staring when she's with her good friends or when she talks to guys(according to angelin)... and it turns out that the guy i mentioned in my previous post is not her bf.

DOES SHE KNOW THAT STARING AT PEOPLE IS RUDE???

why does she always stare at us??

ok..I'm going to be a bit mean in this blog....
u know, there is this girl in my college who always stares at people...
actually, i know who she is(patsy i think u know too)
on the first few days in inti, i actually talked to her. but now we are like i-don't know-you- and you-don't-know-me..
yesterday, when we( me, kar pei & yi zhen) were sitting at the bench, she(standing opposite us with her friend and her bf we think) stared at us again. Wat is the freaking matter with her?! have we done anything that made her angry? i don't think so...
so the 3 of us were like thinking "eh, she thinks we wanna rampas her bf izit?"
I'm like "oh, please..he's not even that good looking".

i hope that her 'starring penyakit' will cure soon..or the 3 of us will be ki siao by her irritating, uncomfortable stares!!!..

college...

in December, before i went college, i was like so excited about going to college..

here's some of my expectations of my college life:-
1. new environment
2. clean washrooms
3. new friends
4. hot guys
5. new friends
6. friendly lecturers
7. no more bored-till-death lectures

But after going to college for like 3 weeks, i realised that college is actually not as fun as i had previously thought.. the reasons:-

1. i still have to wake up at 6.05am(for 8am lectures) two hours beforehand.. worse than during high school..
2. some lectures are boring too although it's not as boring as high school sejarah lessons(*5 Arifians, u guys should know that)
3. it's not as easy as it seems to socialise there..lots of mandarin-speaking coursemates, so i got to speak with my broken mandarin
4. loads of homework.. we have math hw everyday, physics tonnes of questions
5. not much hot guys there(hahaha!!) jk..jk...
6.food sucks( either economy rice, or fried mee?rice?hor fun, chicken chop, fish&chips) semua fried punya.. unhealthy at all..

However, college life has its bright side too

1. clean washrooms(***)
2. very conducive environment for lessons( fully air-conditioned)
3. I'm leading a healthier sleeping habit( i actually sleep before 12 midnight!)
4. improvement in my social skills
5. some funny lecturers(mr yap, miss yap) although for chem mrs leela is scary
6. making friends with people other than from smk cgl..some are really nice even though their command in English are not that good)

that's it for now..need to do my math extension 1 punya hw d... Zai Jian!

I PASSED MY DRIVING TEST TODAY!!

i've officially graduated from driving lessons... YES!
no more scolding, no more being passive smokers to the heavily-smoking instructors.. i'm free!! haha!!=) well... today i reached the driving circuit at about 8.30am. there were like more than 300 people waiting to take their tests...and guessed what?! i'm in session2.. then suddenly out of nowhere, i was uninformedly changed to session 1. very 'systematic' rite? waited for like an hours to do the circuit test(naik bukit, parking, 3-point turn) ok..passed..then i waited for a damn 3 hours for the on-road test..they call the candidates at random..so those who did the circuit test later than me pun sudah finished semua...again, very 'systematic' hor?! the longer i waited, the more teansed i was...finally, it's my turn...that jpj guy kept asking me to go faster.. ergh...annoying! sumore his handphone kept on ringing. irritating! however, luckily, i passed..chun chun passed nia.. i got 16 marks which is the minimum marks to pass(f.y.i. the full marks is 20)

A BIG THANK YOU to all of my frens who had wished me lotza gud lucks before my test! love ya! and best of luck to those who will be taking their driving tests!
