Quiz

I took a mini quiz online on what instrument I should learnt, and it turn out that guitar was the most compatible!!! Kinda wierd isn't it... Haha...

You Should Play the Guitar
You're very independent - both in spirit and in the way you learn.You can teach yourself almost anything, even if it makes your fingers bleed.You're not really the type to sit patiently through a music lesson - or do things by the book.It's more your style to master the fundamentals and see where they take you.Highly creative and a bit eclectic, you need a wide range of music to play.You could emerge as a sensitive songwriter... or a manic rock star.Your dominant personality characteristic: being rebelliousYour secondary personality characteristic: tenacity

The explanation they gave is really quite true! But I need to start learning my piano first! :)

Back From Taiwan!

Well, in case anyone didn't know... I just came back from Taiwan! An interesting place to travel. (though once is enough) Travelled quite a number of places in just 6 days... Scenery was great plus delicious food(yum!)... Uploading images is an irritating chore so I selected a few pictures only.

Here's the little glimpses of scenic areas I've travelled in Taiwan!

Something I've always wanted to eat since age of 9... At last, wish granted!
Guan Cai Ban & XXL Chicken Cutlet!


Guess how much all this food cost? Approximately S$15 only!!! A point to emphasize, we ate this at Xi Men Ting... 3 of us managed to finish all the food coz we were dead hungry at that point of time...





I ate this japanese food at the basement foodcourt of Sing Kong Department Store. It's damn nice and it cost S$6 only... Finding such an affordable and huge portion food in Singapore???
Well~~~~


IN YOUR DREAMS!


If you went Taiwan 101 and did not go up to the observatory tower at 91st floor, you have missed the main attraction in Taiwan coz that's the BOMB! We spent 2 hours there! Words can't be described how I felt there... As it started to drizzle, the winds were blazing furiously causing the clouds to swirl like a whirlpool/cyclone... I was literally touching the clouds at that time... Quite cool eh??? It's a once in a lifetime experience!


This picture was edited with the help of technology, we paid to made this... It was worth it... Picture looks great!



~AT HUALIEN~


We took the "tutu" train to hualien and spent a day there... The hotel was great!!! We were lucky in a sense that when we arrived, there was this stranger tour guide that sort of "force" us into hiring him... We needed the help and thus obliged to his offer...
It was quite scary because we went straight to Taroko Valley without checking our luggages into the hotel... There were times we felt uneasy because the tour guide left us at some scenic spot to take pictures while he stayed in his car... Imagine the situation of him abandoning us in the mountains while driving our luggages away at the same time... That's some serious shit... However, it turn out that he was a very honest tour guide... We were too worried about our belongings getting stolen and sort of build up a barrier against him.


After 5-6 hours of sight-seeing... We went back our hotel and continued to walk around Hualien... As we cabbed down to the mega shopping centre at Hualien. (which was about 6 floor only + short ceiling... I can simply push the ceiling cover up just by doing a light jump) The lady cab driver was the best driver I've met... She was so informative and polite... So much for putting so much effort for promoting GEMs services in Singapore, that lady simply nailed any service provider in Singpaore... That was how good she was... Thanks to her, I tasted the BEST Steam Dumplings, Soup Dumplings and Xiao Long Bao! It was DAMN NICE and SUPER cheap!!! Each Xiao Long Bao cost only S$0.20! Can you believe it!!!!!
All those Teck Kee Bao, Tiong Bahru Bao... Shoo~~~ Get lost... They are not half as nice as compared to what I've ate in Hualien... Just the thought of it makes me drool...

On the 5th day, we were back at Taipei... Got the chance to met up with TT's cousin... Very nice ppl... This is TT's nephew!!! Damn adorable and clever and naughty... hahaha....

And lastly, I love ice creams!
