Taiwan - YX Bday

Dearest Xiang Xiang's bday on 30 May! He is officially 28 le. An old boy le! See the candle in taiwan so cute, unlike sg where they give us 2 big candles and 8 small candles which will cover the whole cake with candles. Dumb lor.

親愛的詠翔生日!他已經二十八嵗了,是老阿伯了咯!看臺灣蛋糕很漂亮呵?蠟燭也很可愛,不像這裡,給你二十八支蠟燭插到整塊蛋糕都是蠟燭。

The nice nice bday cake~ tasted nice too!

好吃的蛋糕!
Lao ma wanted to give ah boy red packet but ah boy dun wanna take, so lao ma chased him all the way to the door until he bobian..

老媽子要給翔翔紅包可是他不肯收,結果老媽子追到門口逼他收紅包。

Finally, the angbao giving ceremony! 頒紅包典禮!

Hong bao again! 多一個紅包!

~~~~祝你生日快樂, 祝你生日快樂~~~~
~~~~Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you~~~~


Making a bday wish. Hopefully your wish come true lor. 在許願,但願你心想事成咯!

Must hold me so tight ma? 哎喲,一定要摟那麽緊嗎?

Cutting the cake~ Ah boy stopped celebrating bday for many eayrs le. He told me that he almost forgot about celebrating bday.

他已經很多年沒慶祝生日了。這次我們幫你慶祝,你有沒有很感動啊?

Picking 4D!!This is a very typical and classic singaporean practice. Picking 4D on a birthday. YX was abit surprised at first but he also bought the number which he picked. Oh yah, very coincidently, he picked my aunt's phone number!

抽4字!這是一個很典型的新加坡人的習慣。壽星公/婆要抽4個號碼買彩券。

Pick 4 D also must do stupid pose... really lor.. mad.

抽4字還要裝可愛嗎?真是搞怪!

We took some neocards at Taiwan~! Cute or not? Took in GX one. This YX very daring. Dare to pinch me, I slap him make him fly to lau pa sat lor.

我們在臺灣拍的大頭貼!可愛嗎?他敢敢捏我,我塞他一巴給他飛去老巴刹!

Taiwan - Taipei Ferris Wheel

Finally, after 5 days of travelling around Taiwan, we are going back to Taipei! We all the way chiong from Gao Xiong to Taipei for a little girl's dream to see her idol.

我們五天的臺灣走透透終于結束了而我們在第五天的早上開始囘臺北。我們一路從高雄殺到臺北都沒什麽停過。就在囘臺北的路上我們看見了難得一見得高鉄!它來得快去得也快所以我沒拍到照片。多虧真吟我們才有幸看到高鉄的因爲她一直盯著山脈看,希望能看到高鉄。皇天不負有心人,真吟轉運了,讓她看到她想看得東西。

詠翔說她很幸運因爲高鉄多數時間都是在隧道裏的而且它的班次也不多。

On the way back to Taipei, Zhen yin finally saw something that made her excited. The Taiwan Gao Tie (bullet train). She has been trying to spot the bullet train ever since we were driving around the GX area. Finally we saw it but it was too fast, we didn't manage to get a photo of it. Ah boy said that we were really lucky as the train travels more in the tunnels.

We also managed to see the famous Jia Yi ferris wheel. Dunno what it is called but it is supposed to be famous as it is the biggest ferris wheel in Taiwan. How come I got the impression that Taiwan is full of ferris wheels?

看到了有名的摩天輪!它有名是因爲它是臺灣最大的摩天輪。忘了是什麽名字,好像是什麽劍湖的。。。

怎麽臺灣好像到處都是摩天輪?

Because.... there are really ferris wheels everywhere.

因爲真的是到處都有摩天輪。

This is the one in Taipei, one of the shopping mall which I forgotten the name. We went to this shopping mall to walk walk cuz we had dropped the excited Zhenyin at Ba Da tv station to see her idol. We have got some time to spend so we came here to walk walk.

And why did Lao ma and Ah boy posing the same pose??? Aiyoh.

以上是臺北摩天輪。我們把真吟跟姑姑送到八大電視臺后便到百貨公司逛逛。還有點時間於是我們決定上摩天大輪!老媽子起初怕暈。擺脫咯,轉得這麽慢還會暈嗎???

還有件事,爲什麽老媽子跟詠翔要擺一樣的姿勢呢?

Acting cute ah??? Pui!

裝可愛??呸!

Lao ma feeling very relax and shiok on the ferris wheel, not at all afraid.

老媽悠哉遊哉的。。。。 爽,一點都沒有怕的感覺。

And THAT is Taipei 101! 這就是臺北101了!

Boy was looking intently at the scenery outside and pointed to me the place he worked. He told me that it was his first time taking this ferris wheel tho it had been built for a long time. Well.. all thanks to me right?!

翔很認真地看外面的景色。他說這東西建那麽久他還是第一次搭呢!這還不是托我的福嗎?

The small hill behind is the place where YX worked. Yes, his workplace is on a mountain.

Later will blog about YX's birthday celebration! YAy!

Taiwan - Gao Xiong

On the way to Gao Xiong, YX asked us if we want to eat Zhu Tong fan aka Bamboo rice. I said ok, I tot that the bamboo rice will be like in SG, a bowl made of bamboo with rice in it but I was wrong. The authentic Bamboo rice is the long hollow piece of bamboo with glutinous rice cooked in it. These bamboos were disposable, meaning they will not collect the bamboo back and re-use.

竹筒飯。這才是真正的竹筒飯不像新加坡的竹筒飯都只是用個竹子做的碗來煮飯。而且這個竹筒都只能用一次就丟掉了所以每一支竹筒飯都有香香的竹味。

Zhenyin was very enthusiastic with taking photos too.

真吟也是很喜歡拍照~

Zhu Shan's famous Han zi! At Zhu shan must eat han zi cuz they are famous. So we bought these han zi bao, as circled above and bought some han zi chips. My father loves the han zi chips.

我們來到竹山當然要吃竹山有名的番薯咯。有沒有聼過那首歌:竹山的番薯尚蓋讚~



We arrived at a rest station so I told Ah boy to split open the bamboo rice to let me take photos. That's how you do it. You split open the bamboo with a loud snap and eat the rice with chopsticks. There is a thin layer of bamboo ... (what do you call there..) membrane? on the rice.

在休息站時我叫翔翔打開竹筒飯給我拍照。裏面的飯還有層薄薄的竹膜呢。

Unbelievably, Zhenyin broke 2 pairs of shoes these few days and so we went to the KING OF SHOES to buy. hahaha.. she actually managed to find a pair of shoes exactly like her broken one So she bought that pair.

不可思議的是真吟居然穿坏了兩雙鞋,所以我們到鞋子大王買鞋。

Chi Kan Lou of Tainan. Also a very famous place but we didnt go in becuz we will have to pay entrance fee. So we gave it a miss lor.

有名的赤坎樓。我們並沒有進去因爲入門費太貴了!結果跑去吃棺材.

This thing is called cioffin board and I love it. It's very nice, the bread is very crispy yo.

棺材板很好吃咧可是姑姑說是不吉利的。。哈哈。

We saw this sign and zhenyin said that there is toilet behind and the toilet is called 'ya zuo' in taiwan.. I was thinking.. that's weird. so I asked ah boy and ah boy said that ya zuo means seats.. there are more seats behind.

I see..

真吟看到這幾個字就告訴我後面有廁所,雅座就是廁所。我覺得很奇怪就問詠翔,他說雅座的意思是座位。後面有座位。。原來如此。

We left Tainan and reach GX after some driving. YX was dead and we let him sleep for awhile while we go shopping in a shopping centre opposite our hotel.

In this shopping centre, there were elevators attendant who will press the buttons of the lifts for you. They were dressed prettily and they do cute actions. Really interesting. If you ever go to GX, must visit this shopping centre and take their lifts. Hee hee.... Singapore only got elevators uncle lor.. so XUN!

過了台南我們又坐了很久的車才到高雄。阿翔累死了所以我們讓他睡覺,自己到百貨公司逛一下。這傢百貨公司很可愛,有可愛的電梯小姐哦!她們打扮得漂漂亮亮很有禮貌地問搭客要去幾樓.姑姑很強,竟然跟電梯小姐聊天問她這樣的工作會不會悶.電梯小姐還做了很多很可愛的動作.有機會去看一下.哈哈,新加坡只有電梯安哥咯。

Then I saw this...
看到這個:
我的鬆餅店!My cake shop!

After YX woke up, he got too much energy and we pinched each other.
詠翔睡醒后太多精力居然捏我!

At night we went to liu he night market to eat dinner. On the table is Oyster omelette, totally different from SG one. I prefer this one tho.. healthier and got lots of vege but then I hate the sauce. I hate all sauces in TW.

晚上我們到夜市去吃晚餐,這是六合夜市。

This is a mall in GX with a big ferris wheel on top called Dream Mall. Cute right? There is one in Taipei also.

高雄的夢時代購物中心,頂樓還有摩天輪哦!

Da Pi Li shop in the mall! 購物中心裏有傢大霹靂店哦!


The Da Pi Li puppets. So beautiful right?? And they all wear DUA BAN costumes!

大霹靂的娃娃!很美喲! 而且都穿著大扮的服裝。

This is the Ferris wheel on top of Dream mall. I wanted to have a go at it at first but the weather was too hot. I will become a roasted pig up there. Forget it man.

這就是夢時代上面的摩天輪。本來我是想上去坐坐的可是真的是太熱了,我們會變成燒豬咯。

I said before this ah boy eats everything! He is a pig lor. I first time see someone eat popcorn without going to cinema. I told him that I don't like to eat popcorn, he can have it all to himself. Glutton.

我都說了永翔是豬,你看他狼吞虎咽的.唉,我第一次看見有人沒去看電影也吃爆米花的咯. 阿翔,你是豬啊?
And he very bad! He put the popcorn cup behind the toys in Daiso!!! Haiz.. bad lor him. i scolded him for being so boliao but took a photo anyway.

他很坏咯,居然把爆米花杯子放在店裏玩具的後面!我把他罵了一頓但是還是拍了照片給大家看他的傑作!
Clear Lake aka Cheng Qing Hu. Boy said that the lake inside is beautiful and is worth a visit but too bad, when we came here it was closed! Dammit. So we didn't go in but never mind, I still got lots of chance to visit..

澄清湖,不知道湖水是不是真的很清呢?詠翔說裏面的景色很美,值得一去。可是我們到澄清湖時都已經関了。沒關係,我以後還是有很多機會去的,你說是不是啊。。。 阿翔?

Since I didn't get to see Clear Lake, we decided to go eat instead. I have been kping that I want to eat Shua Shua pot so YX brought me here but it was not the kind that I wanted to eat! Sad.

既然澄清湖関了我們就去吃刷刷鍋。我一直說我要吃刷刷鍋所以詠翔就帶我到這裡可是這並不是我要吃的那種刷刷鍋。傷心。

Shabu shabu.. Althought it was not that kind that I wanted to eat, we still ate happily and enjoyed the food. The pineapple there was super super sweet! So much more sweeter than SG ones. My aunt ate alot of pineapple that when we were leaving, she has to go to the loo.. YX said that she want to la pineapple shit~ so er xin lor yx.

雖然這不是我要的刷刷鍋可是我們還是吃得很開心。那裏的黃梨是無敵甜的!超級甜!我姑姑吃了很多結果要離開時她忍不住要去拉。。。。 翔翔說她去拉黃梨屎!噁心啊臭 ah boy.

After dinner, I went to see YX house. I wanted to see his GaoXiong house for a long time cuz I dunno if he really bought a house there or he haolian to me only. Well, his house is something like a masionette in SG. Not very big but has 2 storeys. The second floor has got 4 bed rooms which is now rented to some ppl. My mum said that the house is not bad and she especially like the washing area where you can hang your clothes to dry too.

Aunty is aunty lor. The first thing my mum want to see was the kitchen.

晚餐后我們去看詠翔的房子.我一直都很想看詠翔的房子因爲我不知道他是不是真的有房子還是他只是'好練'而已.哈哈,很坏咯我.他的房子是類似我傢這樣但是而樓有四閒房,我的只有三閒.我老媽喜歡曬衣服的地方,她覺得很方便.安第就是安第...老媽子最在意的就是廚房.

Taiwan - Pu Li

After the wonderful sensation at the wenquan, we went to the pu li town to have dinner. Teppanyaki!

泡湯后去埔裏吃鐵板燒!
The menu is super super big. Good, then we can see the price clearly before going in. Unique. TW full of unique stuff.

臺灣有很多好玩的東西.菜單有必要弄到那麽大嗎?也好,進去前價格都能一目了然看見.

YX said that Teppanyaki master can earn alot of money. The food was really nice and the gao li veg were really very good. Very crispy and very sweet, a totally different taste from those I ate in SG. You must try it if you have a chance.

鐵板燒師傅可以賺很多錢... 詠翔說的.很好吃哦.尤其是高麗菜.高山高麗菜果然比較甜,比較脆.

The basin in the toilet is quite pretty... In the shape of a flower. I told YX the basin quite cute and he actually wen to take a peek!

廁所的洗臉盆很可愛,是朵花的形狀。我跟詠翔說他居然跑去偷看! 

Then he came back and told me that he want to take a photo of the male's toilet to show me. So I lent him my camera.

然後他說要借我的相機拍下男廁所的樣子給我看。

Look what he took! 看看他拍什麽!

The male's toilet only got this boring rectangle basin lor. 男厠所只有普通的長方形洗臉盆.

After dinner, we went to a supermaket opposite walk walk. 吃過飯後我們到對面的超市逛逛.

And I found this!!! My god, they sell this seperation agreement in a supermarkt and at a low price of $1+ some more...

結果我找到這個!離婚協議書!居然在超市裏面賣這種東西還賣得很便宜!

And this:
還有這個:This kind of envelopes. Can I know who use this kind of envelopes nowadays?

還有這種復古的信封.請問現在還有誰用這種信封呢?


My god, why he took a photo with this? cuz we were luffing that this thing is so big that my underwear is smaller than it. Hahaha..

天啊,爲什麽他要跟這個拍照啊?因爲我們在笑這個怎麽那麽大,比内褲還大怎麽用啊? 哈哈...
Lao ma is so strong! 老媽子是大力士!

Is that erm... Harry Potter? 是哈利嗎?

On the way back to the hotel, we visited the Guan Yin waterfall but the big waterfall was blocked by a landslide. So we only saw the small water fall.

回去飯店時想要去觀音瀑布看看可是去大瀑布的路被土崩擋住了所以我們只看到小瀑布.

Looks like lao ma is getting along very well with YX.
老媽跟詠翔相處得不錯哦.

Small waterfall = 小瀑布

Guan Yin Waterfall stone.

Took this photo at the carpark of the Hotel. It was quite challenging to take this photo as the litted letterings behind were blinking non stop. I took 2 or 3 tries to take this fully litted sign.

這是飯店的停車廠.拍這張照片可不容易哦因爲後面的招牌不停在閃.我試了兩次才拍到這張我滿意的.

Finally finished writing about Pu Li, will write about GX in my next post!

終于寫完埔裏的兩日游了,下一篇要寫高雄了咯!

Spiderman 3

Yesterday I finally watched Spiderman3 at Vivocity.

With who? with myself lor.

Bought a cup of coke, a bag of chips and sat in the cinema enjoying the peace and darkness. Well, there were kids talking noisily but I can pretend not to hear them.

The movie was not bad, effects were good... I sort of like it. I was a bit sad when the movie ended because that would mean going back to the noisy and bright mall. Haiz.. I want my peace and darkness lor...
