Taiwan Day 5 Part 2



Friday today. Didn't want to do anything so yeah.. Blogging! Blogging can really help to relax.

I actually wanna watch some TV series online but i know if i start, the momentum will start and never stops! :)



Been seeing too many friends and strangers with dyed hair. Wanna dye my hair again! Miss the gold color lols.


Supposed to go gym with Simba today but in the end was too tired. lols! After my FYP meeting, Bi Han, Carine and i went to our school's Bazaar and bought some clothes! it's only $15 per piece. :P The stallholders lowered the price for students. :) Kevin waited in the canteen for us and we went to Starbucks in Jurong Point after that. (Simba was doing his FYP.)
Then at 7pm, when Simba was done, he asked me to go to the gym with him and his friend. I agreed but once i reached home, i don't feel like going out again! Oops! SO LAZY right! I told Simba to watch a movie after his gymming. And he said, "Got energy to watch movie, no energy to go gym??!!!" HAHAHAHA! I know my health-conscious bf will drag me to go soon.



Wanna finish blogging about my Taiwan trip. 1 and half day left to blog about.
So here goes.. Taiwan Day 5 Part Two!




We were at the Taipei Zoo...

After the Amphibian House, we start off with the elephants. :)
We met the Malaysians who sat in the same cable car as us again!
We realised we really have alot of fate with them after we saw them again at Shilin Night Market later on the very same day!

This bird escaped from somewhere of the zoo!
It just kept walking everywhere. It wasn't afraid of us the BIG-SIZED human beings!



Photobucket

My legs are aching and the sun is burning me. I asked Simba to quickly take shelter at the nearby cafe and have lunch but he insisted that we should take photos with the fake hippos. So here i am with these ground lying hippos!

And then the animal lover saw these and we still haven't go to the cafe!

Ireland's Potato!

I was so full from eating these. I knew i will fall sick soon from the long exposure to the sun and also the fried food!



Photobucket

It started to rain. A very heavy downpour and we are stuck at the cafe. Hence, simba bought an ice-cream to pass time.



Photobucket

We waited for an hour but the rain just got heavier. Hence, Simba was so disappointed as the zoo is closing. What he did was to take the umbrella and went around snapping a few photos of the animals while i waited outside the cafe. He disallowed me to go! Maybe he thought i will melt in the rain or what!

He was real disappointed that the last animal he took was this camel!
This camel is real cute. The other camels were hiding under the shelter from the rain but this one walked proudly towards us and allowed us to take pictures of it.


Photobucket

Off we went with one small umbrella, walking towards the exit. It was a long long way. My shoes got soaked in the rain and i was shivering badly. Simba took off my shoes and put them into a plastic bag. I wore his slippers and he walked barefooted all the way back. The ground was full of tiny stones and i think it was very very rough. Poor simba!

We were also disappointed that the panda exhibition house was closed.
We have never seen a panda before! :( This photo of the fake panda is used to remind me to see some real ones one day!

We finally reached the souvenir store. I kept taking photos of the souvenirs and Simba was so afraid that we might get chased out. Lols! I realised i am more of a risk taker than Simba! :P

The cute magnets. I bought the mother and baby panda magnet!

Very nice logo!


Then we took the train to Shilin Station.



Photobucket

Went to Shilin Market and realised that it was not the Night Market.
The Market was filled with many foodstalls and all of the stallholders were fighting to get customers. We got a scare from the overwhelming friendliness!


Walked and walked and walked before we asked the locals there for directions.
We headed the wrong way and my poor legs were really achy.



Photobucket

Simba was craving for the 豪大大雞排 at ShiLin since Day 1!
He wanted to eat everyday but i really have no appetite. Hence if i don't eat, he doesn't want to eat too. The reason being, he doesn't want to grow fatter without me growing fatter. Omg! How can i make him fatter without me getting fatter?
Finally at ShiLin, i shared the
大雞排 with him. I knew he will be very very upset if i didn't. The queue was so long that the customers were on the road. It was so dangerous since many many cars were travelling at high speed there.
大雞排 was not disappointing. We love it.



Photobucket

Some stall next to the 大雞排 stall promoted this watermelon drink. Since we went there with an open heart, we were willing to try everything that were promoted. And the drink tasted super super weird. Wow wrong choice again!


Photobucket

Love this pic!

Photobucket

My camera went out of battery and the rest of the photos were taken using Simba's parents' camera.

Photobucket


Photobucket

We were so attracted to everything sold there. Simba loves ShiLin and ShiDa since the guys' clothing in these places are of better quality. He only buys the more expensive clothes lols!



Photobucket

Photobucket

We will take photos of every train station!
As that night was our last night there, we were really tired. Thus, we left ShiLin at about 8 30pm and wanna have an early rest.



Photobucket

And the moment i reached the hotel room, i was dead beat. I slept like a log and simba woke me up soon after to ask me to go for foot massage with him. He was also craving for neck and foot massage since he saw the advertisement nearby our hotel that says "Head Neck Shoulder Treatment". He loves massages!

He also woke me up all the days there since i dozed off very quickly. He watched the soccer channel alone and woke me up to watch it with him. Omg! I dozed off again after watching soccer for like 15 mins.

So off we went looking for the nicest shop.

And we found this one.


Photobucket

They summarize benefits of "ear cleaning" in a simple error-free English. Anyway, I think it's ear candling or something right!





Photobucket




Photobucket

We have to wash our feet in this tonic water. The water is yellow before i put my feet in. lols!
Not that it turned yellow after i put my feet in k!




Photobucket

This lady is very gentle with me. I like her! Very sweet lady!


Photobucket


Photobucket

The uncle in charge of massaging simba's feet was funny. He knew i was taking photos of him so he pressed Simba's feet really hard that he screamed. lols! The uncle wanted me to capture a shot of the scared simba.




Photobucket

Simba went for the neck and shoulder massage too. I waited half an hour for him and when i asked him whether it was nice, he said it was very itchy! He tried very hard not to laugh. Lols! Wasted money!
