.: F4 Welcome You To Taiwan:. it's almost a week now since i'm back from the Taiwan Trip...me went to Taipei, Taiwan for company trip last week 7.Nov.2007 - 12.Nov.2007...was there for 6 days...and it just seems not enough...hmm...it is me or wat...seems like the trips i'd been to these few months jus dun have enough time...had been travelling all round since June till now...and will be travelling again next month..haha...had been on the plane for many times within these few months...
well..Taipei was a great place...a real great one...and very good place for shopping...until now when i'm back..regret many things.. :( sad sad sad...am really regret after this trip..thus..Sunnie tells herself..she'll definitely go back to Taipei someday..tat's for sure..to buy the things she din get to buy this time....heee...
and besides shopping...Taipei is also great place for food...the food that is jus so yummy...Oi-Shii-des! ! !...so..Sunnie come back from Taipei bacome fat fat ad...hmm..have to go on massive diet ad...gan-ba-teh!!!
on the first day there in Taipei..at the airport...saw this poster i like a lot..which i should have shoot it??..but i didn't...haih...one small 1st regret ad...after checking in the hotel in the evening...we went to "Ah Chung Mian Xian" at Xi Men Ding..and it's delicious oh..after that we went to Shi Lin Nigh Market..went shopping there...but not in a good mood to shop cos..it's rainning season there and it's rainning tat nite...but i still bought some stuffs...and experienced something new there...which is to stand aside and avoid the carts..cos the police are here to shoo~ and catch them...din know wat was it the first time till my uncle told me..then i was like..oh..okok...so when we saw one cart moving..we'll automatically stand into the shops to avoid them..haha...
ya...me bought this belt..and when i wanted to buy a second one...haha..the auntie is moving her cart and walking away...and thus...not able to buy the second piece ad...and here's my second regret...but seriously..it's super cheap ah the things there...really super cheap...after walking the night market..went to the food court nearby and we ate this thing called the "Guan Chai Ban"..direct translation into English is The Coffin...sounds interesting huh...it's actually bread with a variety of filling and it's delicious..then....hahaha...my colleagues went n try the fermented to-fu..i did not dare to eat..my uncle tried and he said it taste horrible..hahahaha....lucky me din try..keke...
and here comes the interesting and best nex day...we went to Taiwan's tallest building...i shall say skyscrapper...which is the Taipei 101...and guessed wat...i saw Vanness Wu of F4 and Alan Kuo shooting outside at the entrance..i din noticed them until my uncle came to me n say..."Shan..u see..isn't that one of the members of F4?...hurry come and see"...and when i saw..i was like.."yayayaya..it's Vanness!!!"...thus me n my colleagues jus took a few snapshots of him...as he's shooting..thus we can't go n take picture with him...
.: Vanness & Alan Kuo..taking a rest after shooting:. after snapping Vanness & Alan we proceed inside...and my uncle who is walking in front...came running to me who is at the back...and say.. "Shan...u faster come in front n see...it's ZaiZai...ur idol..he's sleeping on the couch..faster come n see"...at first thought..cannot be so coincident rite...jus saw Vanness outside and now ZaiZai (Vic Zhou) is inside??..and my uncle's expression looks fake.,then he dragged me and pointed to me..i was like..OMG OMG OMG...it's ZaiZai..it's really him..sleeping there on the couch at Starbucks!!!...i actually wanted to take a few snap shots of him sleeping...but after second thought...he also need privacy and time to rest..and it's not good to snap ppl while they are sleeping..no respect...thus...din take pic n went down to the food court to eat ad..
after walking all around the food court...also undecided wat to eat..thus when i decided to go get a cup of starbuck's choco cream chip..my uncle came to me n say..eh..ZaiZai wake up ad...faster go up n take pic with him...seriously..i was a bit scared to ask him to take pic..cos scared his assistant will come scolding or watever...2 of my colleagues went up together..and 3 of us also din dare to go n ask..thus..have to ask my uncle to come...
hee....thanks to my uncle..he went n ask ZaiZai whether can we take pict with him telling him that we are from Malaysia..without second thought ZaiZai said yes..and his assistant came running to us say NO...she looks very fierce ah...but ZaiZai said nvm n insisted to take pics with us..he's such a nice n friendly person..never thought he'll be so nice n friendly...we had 2 shots with him...and we jus left...before we left..he asked "From Malaysia?"..we were like "Yes!"...
thinking back...my colleagues said that should actually let me have n invidual shot with him as i'm his fans...and after thinking back..ya..should...i should had requested to take pic with him individually...and i should have take more picts with him..should have chatted n talked to him...thinking back..i also dunno why..maybe jus too happy to see him till dunno how to respond ad..so now come back also regret.. :( ..here goes my 3rd regret.. :(

after lunch at Taipei 101...we went to this place called Wu Fen Pu...which sells lots of fashion clothings..for guys..girls..kids as well...seriously...there are jus too many shops here...really just too many till i also dunno which to see...the clothings there can go as low as until RM10.00 each...and after walking...me came across this black sweater which i liked a lot...it cost about RM110.00...me find it a bit expensive at first...thus din buy..and was thinking...maybe i can get it somewhr else at a cheaper price...and during the entire trip...cannot even find any sweater that come close to that one i saw...and after thinking back..it was not tat expensive after all...but i din get to buy it...this is my 4th regret.. :(
