Taiwan Trip 2008 Day 5: Singapore

We made our way back to Singapore at 6am in the morning.

Really sian sia. We wanted to stay longer.

Anyway, here’s one picture I took on our way back.

And soon, checked in our luggage and went to slack in one corner of the Tao Yuan International Airport.

Desmond suay suay stepped on this sticker. And his shoe is heading to Jakarta.

And one picture of the CJ7 soft-toy Jeremy and Aik Siang bought.

Of course. Elvis is a King of Buayas. And the King of Buayas needs lots of sleep to continue his buaya acts.

Just look at how he sleeps.

And Zi Cheng carefully removed his spectacles and placed it on his head. And now he has 2 pairs of spectacles.

One last look at the Tao Yuan International Airport.

And another last look in the plane.

We have reached Singapore. And it is back to reality.

Bought duty-free alcohol. I owed Junda one bottle of alcohol since I lost one bet to him.

I’ll make sure he finish all 1 litre of that absolut vodka.

And I (we) really had a hard time carrying all these back home.

All of us, except for Kavin, who got his parents to come and fetch him.

So STWC, what’s next?

Japan, Korea, China, USA, Australia, Iraq or Israel?

Anyway, back to this boring Singapore, back to reality, back to everything.

Really sian.

Taiwan Trip 2008 Day 4: 西门町, 士林

Before I really start this post, I actually forgot to talk about something that me, Zi Cheng and Luis encountered in the wee hours of 西门町 while we were on our way back to the hotel.

We were on our way back to the hotel after shopping at 士林.

And on our way back, there is this uncle on a motorbike.

Spoke in Hokkien to us.

Handsomes. Want some 美眉s for you guys to play around with?

Of course we wouldn’t want to risk getting HIV. And we aren’t those type of guys, you know. We only reserve it for our wives.

Me and Zi Cheng could understand what that uncle meant. Because we knew Hokkien. But not Luis.

Later Luis asked and we explained to him.

And Luis exclaimed that we should have just stopped and talked to him.

Uncle. Wait hor. I call back and ask my mama. She say can means can.

LOL!!!

Anyway, time really flies and soon it was Day 4.

Just early in the morning Jeremy and Kavin were playing pranks.

While Zi Cheng was bathing, Jeremy used a coin to open the bathroom door.

And Kavin placed a fire extinguisher in front of Elvis‘ room.

And Elvis is really a bastard by putting the fire extinguisher in front of the room next to my room.

Actually, I kind of pity those people next to my room.

We were creating a din most of the nights. With Kavin around, all sorts of shouting surfaced. Plus the loud GOAL!!! Zi Cheng shouted when Manchester United equalised through Carlos Tevez.

That was at 2am in the morning.

Later, we went to shop at 西门町. And had 鹅肉面 for lunch.

Super delicious. Especially the soup.

And soon we were off to buy clothes.

This picture clearly shows the buaya side of Elvis.

Just look at the ti ko peh look on his face.

I think if he were with me, Luis and Zi Cheng that night, he would have agreed to play with those 美眉s and kena HIV.

I saw rows of motorbikes. Seriously, I wonder how they are going to get their motorbikes out.

I don’t see bicycles parked like this before here in Singapore lor.

Later we really cheonged all our shopping. I needed to bag badly otherwise I really couldn’t bring everything back to Singapore.

Didn’t really have time to eat.

Finally, when we reached our hotel, I got Elvis to get 阿宗面线 for me.

Seriously. Another die die must try, don’t try will die stuff.

And cheong our remaining shopping at 士林 that night.

Yeah. 士林 is a must go in Taiwan.

Really had no time to take pictures here and there that night.

And we managed to finish whatever we want to buy.

Bought 鸡排 back to the hotel.

We ordered 太阳饼 in the afternoon. And the shopkeeper said they’ll make the 太阳饼 and send to our hotel.

We waited till 2am for the 太阳饼. But we understand that there were many 太阳饼 to be made. So we don’t blame them.

But it’s super nice to eat. And worth the wait.

And the dreaded time came after 3 hours.
