Mom's Birthday Dinner (05 Jan '10)
Took the day off to rest at home. At night, our whole family went out for dinner together at Yishun to celebrate my mom's birthday. oh yea~
Day 10 in Taipei (04 Jan '10)
Final day of our 10-days holiday. The morning was unusually bright and good for photo-taking. Alas, we hadn't anymore time to travel out to take shots. I took Mark on a round-about walk to look for breakfast, before I zipped over to the underground mall to buy fresh pineapple pastries from 李儀餅店.
After that, we lugged our lugguage across the metro in order to take a bus to the airport, in order to conserve our NT dollars. Had a good flight back on SIA; somehow the flight stewardess are more chatty and friendly - maybe because they are Taiwanese? Reached Singapore around 6.20pm, but decided not to take dinner. Had a really REALLY good in-flight meal, believe or not :D After that, spent the night unpacking and passing out all the goodies to my family. oh yea~
Day 9 in Taipei (03 Jan '10)
on the 2nd last day, we decided to take a hike over to the zoo in Taipei. We initially wanted to travel out to either Yehliu (野柳), Jiufen (九份) or Shifen (十分). But we didn't buy the Taiwan Railway (臺鐵) train tickets in advanced, and they were all fully sold out. We didn't want to watse the extra time finding out which public bus to take, so in the end, we decided to pop over to the zoo. It cost only about S$3 to visit the zoo! Plus we get to see the cute pandas< Tuantuan ( 團團) and Yuanyuan (圓圓).
We spent the last afternoon in Taipei underground malls doing frenetic shopping. I used up almost all of my NT dollars buying stuff for myself, family and friends. Of course, we made sure we have enough left over to go for a good dinner of the famous Taiwanese food. Oh yea~~
Day 8 in Taipei (02 Jan '10)
Went to Taipei Main station to try their bento (便当). I found mine to be pretty delicious. After that, we went for an intensive round of shopping, before heading out to Raohejie Night market (饒河街夜市). We wanted to cover another 2 night markets, but the weather was drizzly, and the winds were quite strong. In the end, we stayed back at the hotel to chill and catch more TV, oh yea~
Day 7 in Taipei (01 Jan '10)
Slept till late morning to recover from the long walk the previous night. Went to Ximengding for a scrumptious lunch at Tamago Ya. Headed over to Guang Hua Shang Chang (光华商场), and had a great time shopping for PC games. Headed back to hotel early to continue resting before watching the 4 hour long Christmas special on Music Station on television. Watched all my favorite J-pop bands and artistes, like SMAP, L'arc-en-ciel and Ayumi Hamasaki. Really loved Taiwanese cable TV programming, oh yea!
