I have been crazy all these days…. at least I think.
For making this decision, for this all things which I myself don’t really believe that I would do so.
My trip : Escape to Taipei
A friend of mine asking if I were to meet them up in Taipei. And it left only 5 days for me to make a deal : To go or not. Well ofcourse the ticketing agent is standby every minutes & seconds, just a “YES” from me.
Sort of adventures trip, I considered.
By travelling on my own — it isn’t that fun to sit in a flight all alone.
By not telling anyone EXCEPT Sandy & Tricia about this trip. —–safety purposes.
By not telling Jim - cuz he will nag nag nag
By not telling dad - cuz he will nag nag nag

I reached Taipei Airport @ 8.30pm
Guess what, I met Tay on the flight that we took to Taipei (oh I’m not alone)…..but I only called him when we were about to check out from the imigration hall. So I got a free taxi ride to the Taipei city from airport as Tay is coming for business trip, so he would claim back 
which I was still figuring out which BUS to take to the city at this late evening.
Finally, I reached the hotel and met my friends. Im safe. (such a silly tought that I would went missing in Taipei. scare mar~~~~~~)
A friend first brought us to a night market. Now I know why people say that there are lot’s of cute stuffs (even snacks) in Taiwan. ….
Then we went to a bar (should I call that bar or what, it is not a club obviously) and have some drink. I yelled in my heart :: Cheers for the friendship
It’s a tiring day. Still, I could only goto bed @ 4am

Woke up at 2pm.
We hang around in the city. Friend went for hair cut.
Then we had sushi ( Not so tasty—- ueekkk)
Then we walked along the street called “Zhong Xiao East Road” — the song walked 9 times at Zhong Xiao East Road by Di Ke New Jai. Basically it’s a street like Orchird Rd where there are all branded stuffs, Middle range Stuffs - those familiar brand MNG, Tommy, DKNY…you named it.
Then my friends are going somewhere which I didn’t want to follow at first. So I called Tay and we had dinner. We then wanted to take MRT to a BookStore that operates 24 hours. BOOKS HEAVEN !!!!!!! We dint know the roads and directions well, and the Fucking Taiwanese DIN’T REALLY KNOW TOO, as We were asking the way to a nearest MRT station.
Then we walked and followed the guy’s direction…..untill we walked the whole street….If I really counted, it was about 7km, Tay, right? Then we reached Taipei Main Railway station. Browsing through the MAP at the station…We have walked pass 4 MRT stations !!!!!!!! DAMN IT. The distance between 2 MRT stations aren’t as close as in HongKong, well not as far as in KL. Is the distance like we were walking from the Sunway cable bridge till Taman Megah !!!!!
Finally we reached the giant “Cheng Pin” Bookstore. Phew we spent quite many hours there… and I bought some of the Chinese caligraphy books I wanted to buy and bet you can’t get in KL. Then I went back to the hotel which is unexpected just nearby the hotel I was staying. While Tay need to take a cab to go back…..seems like quite far away. OH, Once you get into a cab, NT70 is a starting charges ! gosh……about RM 8 comparing we are just paying RM 2.50 in KL.
Guess what, my friends they all came back from LUCY …. the happening club in town (Now I regreted that I din’t follow them). And they are all drunk. ….. urrhhh. …… SLEEP SLEEP SLEEP

Nothing much to do today. Our Taiwanese friend brought us to SOGO, and a huge branded shopping centre near by our hotel. Man… managed to buy some stuff at MUJI, other then that can just browse through the price tags.
Oh we then wanted to taste some good food in Taiwan restaurent which it’s unique signboard name called “放牛班” (Fang Niu Ban) - something like if you do not pass your exam, you have to stay back in that perticular class for the next whole year (is it? please clarify). The restaurent is pretty cute. Too bad it was too packed. Then we decided to go to a cinema-liked restaurent. The environment is pretty cool but the food is just so so.
So it’s Saturday Night. We went to Room 18 (another happeong club in Taipei City) but something wrong with the entrance registration (it was full ? or the person who reserved is not here yet). And I din’t know what happen that my friends they sent me back to Hotel. I was alone in Hotel. Then they went out againl. uh ? what? what? what?
Fine, “clubbing” is not my intention to be in Taipei. Then I goto the bookstore alone. At least I filled up my time with these Books smell.

It’s sunday and we had the Taiwanese super spicy steamboat “麻辣火锅” 。。。。Okay, it wasn’t as spicy as I thought. They don’t provide the spoon. Taiwanese don’t take the spicy suop directly as it isnt as what we are in KL. ouhhh…… wasted!! anyhow it’s not spicy. I promised would come back to KL and take super spicy Tomyam.
I have decided not to join my friend for their parties. I went to the largest night market in Taipei - Alone- sad right? Well not, I pretty enjoy looking at the food that they sell in the night market. They are alot of stuffs that you may want to bring them home. So I bought 2 pairs of shoes.
Today is the Lantern Festival, and I am alone in Taipei City. Looking at the moon, I started to miss my family and friends back in KL. sob sob……. Looking at the people celebrating the festival here with BBQ style…. I wish that I could go back home now and have dinner with family :S

Visited Taipei 101. SO HIGH or SO HAI. Got to Pay about RM 75 to go up to the top and guess what, the visitors are like in the jail. Thought of WHAT IS SO COOL about the outdoor that make us pay so much. Well you may say it’s for experience. Fucked up ! (oppss…after Taipei Trip, I have been using alot of F language)
Then see around the WARNER cinemas. …where something like the Cineplex ( that you may see it after a year - they are developing somewhere near IKEA) which a building with only cinemas.
Went to shop around in Newyork Newyork. Thought of can grab some on sale clothes - but out of season niaaa…… so I decided not to buy. Ended up we sit in a Chilies of Taipei. So the food and manual looks the same. But the Price is DOUBLE !!! F**k
