Dog Dog...
At the dinner place outside school. Pic not taken nicely, because this cute puppy bites on my pants when i decide to take a picture of it and this shocks me haha. This puppy was very small when i first seen it. It is like only two hands size of mine. Now it is already this big after only two or three weeks. I realised people in taiwan loves dogs alot.
A better catch of the puppy.
Another puppies pic that i took in taipei, I think it is in shilin. I wish to have one to keep. Ha ha. But not sure if i will be a good owner.
Although people in taiwan like dogs, there are still alot of stray dogs around my school campus. I can count more than 10 when i make my way down for class from my hostel. So please dont keep a pet unless you are able to commit to it and love it. Hee hee.

Missing my family and friends in singapore
As I took out the photos I bought along for this trip in taiwan, I begin to miss my family and friends in singapore. Looking at todayonline, cold storage is promoting on christmas feast food. This year I am going to miss the celebration with them. Although Christmas is still about 1 n 1/2 months away, I missed the time planning the date for the celebration, planning the food to bring or cook and most importantly is the time spend doing things together. It is really fun.
The weather in taiwan is getting more cooler. So hope it will be a cold christmas this year, which is something different from sg. :)
P.S.: I have uploaded some Jay's new album songs on my blog. Hope you all will like it. I find them pretty nice.

Kenting trip from 24 t0 26 sept
We are staying 佐秀民宿 located at 屏東縣恆春鎮. It is introduced by our friends; Peiling and Wing Yan. Thanks to them we have quite a nice trip and a good place to live in. The price is about 1500NT per night. But the price will vary depending on the season. http://uukt.idv.tw/inn/jso.htm
The first thing that attracted me is the japanese style bedroom. It is really nice to have thick beds to sleep on because i only have a thin bed to sleep on in my hostel. Haha. The place is pretty cosy for our three days stay.

Beautiful view from the balcony

Long delay for my blog...
Hi to all, sorry for the long wait. But I dont think i will update my previous two weeks things yet. Btw, I arrived in Kaohsiung on 12 sept 2007. Now, studying in NSYSU (National Sun Yat Sen University). Well, so far I have only attended 2 days of classes. I have a long weekend break due to the mooncake feast in taiwan. So we head down to Kenting by car provided by the 民宿. We paid NT300 each for the transport there. The good thing is the car provides KTV for singing. Although we didnt really used, we just listen to the songs, watch the MTV and sing along as n when we know the songs. The stay costs NT1500 per day for 4 persons room. The first two days were raining. I realised everywhere we go is raining day. We traveled around using umbrella.
Day 1 The 民宿 is pretty nice. We went for our lunch at a recommended duck store. It is quite okay but my friends find it too oily. We try to go the national museum of marine biology and aquarium but reached there too late so didnt go in. Upon returning, we walked around the area and found a place recommanded by sg local tv programme for dinner. Following that, we went to see a natural fire which is found within the park. It is so special that the fire can starts up on itself. At first we thought of having bbq that day. N the person-in-charge asked us to go there for bbq. True enough ppl do go there for bbq popcorn or sweetpotato. I will try to post up the pictures soon.
Day 2... we went for watersport. For 5 in 1, it costs NT1000. It is abit expensive but it is the first time i did watersport. We did banana boat, snorkling, dao li shu shuo, jetski... Woh, it is really an experience for me. Actually, the banana boat is unlimited ride. It was a hard fall for me that my whole body still aches abit till today. So i only went for one time while my friends went twice. Overall, it is still fun. Later part of the day, it is a long waiting time for the bus to the national museum of marine biology and aquarium. After 45min of waiting we decided to give up coz if we go there again we will be late again. So we went to take pictures around the area we stay. In the evening, we had our first bbq just outside the place we stay. Btw, ppl here loves to bbq alot. Anywhere we walked, we smell bbq food. In the night, the owner drove us to Kenting night market. After that, we went to the beach to play fireworks. It is so nice here that anyone can play fireworks. Some fireworks are so beautiful that it is like what we see in sg during national day or special event. I think jia you really wish you are here right... Beside seeing fireworks, u can setup fireworks yourselves.
Think i will stop here for today. Will update more tom. Tata.

Day 1 in Taipei.. 4 Sept 07...
hmm.. To begin with.. i should write about wat i did yesterday.. packing n packing before i left singapore. Two sad things happened; first is my alarm clock failed mine, second is my MP3 player sudden dont work after i plug out from my laptop. But no choice. Everything will still have to go on. N yes, i have to look forward to taipei.
The flight on jetstar is still okay. The good thing is that my luggage was not fine due to excess weightage. I was pretty glad. Traveling to my hostel had some problems too. First, we reached taipei railway station on the Guo Kuang travel bus, which cost about NT$125 for 45-60min. But failed to move around with our heavy luggage when we alighted; partly due to the rain n we are not sure where we are. Ha ha. Thus, we took a cab from there to the backpacker hostel, cost about NT$70 to somewhere near zhongshan station. When we found the place, the person said she had arranged us to another place which is pretty near for us to stay. It is still under taiwanmex. Traveling there wasn’t easy again. We have to carry our luggage up the stairs because we are staying at level 9 and the lift stops at level 8. Sad thing is my friend luggage was spoiled by the helpful person who tried to carry her luggage up.
After settled down at about 8pm or so, we went to the area around to eat. Guess wat!!! We eat Mac. coz cant find anything else to eat n it is raining heavily. I don’t really eat mac in sg!!! We did walk around the shopping malls near the areas. They are similar to hk or sg. They have daiso n starbucks. That’s the end of our first day in Taipei.
This is something I got for the day. My favourite keroppi. Hee hee…

Two more days...
Well, from the title, some of you will know what I am counting down to and some don't. In two days time, I will be on my way to taipei for a week of trip and then to Kaohsiung to start a new study life there for a semester. Anyway, it is under an exchange program. So hope it will be fun and a good learning experience. Many have asked me if I am excited. Hmm... all I could said there is alot of preparation. But it will be a good chance for me to live independently and grow to be more matured (not saying that I am not, just that there are still room for improvements). I believe many would be worried for me especially for my family members. Hey, I would be fine, so please be assured I will take care of myself. So for the time now, I will go back to arrange my stuffs first. Will update you more later or when I am in taiwan.
Okay, will like to take this chance to thanks all my friends who have come or arrange for the meeting with me. I had enjoyed alot of good food from your treats before I leave and even gifts. Most importantly, your company made it more fun. Alright will see you all in about 4 1/2 months later. I will try to upload the photos later so stay tuned. Tata.
