Lessons were interesting, HRD was slightly drier than the Industrial Relations and there was this guy in our class that has alot of problems in their coy. It was really funny whenever he talks cos he will add some hokkien here and there and you get to hear all the bizzare hr cases.
Just got back from a project meeting. 2 projects coming up..
No more playing.
Anybody has any info or notes (project even better hahaha) on the current HRD trends, let me know..appreciate that!!
It's not just the start of my project, another significant event is starting as well. GSS~ Bought a suit (no discount =(...) at Iora cos I need to attend a congress next week. Iora's suits fits me well, the others are kinda too big for me.
Other buys!
2 lacy tops. Can team up with jackets and wear to office.. =D
No more an angry gurl.
20% discount

Final Part to Taipei Fun
On the last night of our trip, we quit shopping in Xi men Ding cos we were really tired of SHOPPING. We had an early night and packed all our stuff to prepare for departure on the following day at 6pm.
Next morning we went to Long Shan Si. Was really crowded cos it was one of the deities' birthday? not too sure.. =)
I have this same top for SALE. The other one is brand new in the clear plastic, same colour.. bought 2 cos the person say buy 2 cheaper and the other colours were not very nice.
Email me for a bigger picture if you want it. Going at $17
Than off we went to 101. Nutting much.
Bought one office top there.
We rushed off to Zhong Shan station again to Yi Die cos mum wanted to get more lingerie. I lurve the area near Zhong Shan station, there is alot of things to shop and if you shop at the right places, you can find cheap accessories as well.
It was sheer luck that I saw a report in taiwan news on SCV and they said LV made a 超大Monogram 皮箱 somewhere in taipei to promote the opening of the new LV branch near Zhong Shan station. Searched through yahoo taiwan and found out that it was located in front of 晶華酒店 ~ And I went!...to take pictures -_-
....
It's only there for a limited period of time so I'm luckie.. =D
no $$ to buy the real thing, happy to take pictures with it.
Josephine's favourite.. her blog is machiam like LV's catalogue with really nice stuff. keke.. This is so HUGE! (about 2 storeys high)
There were people wanting to touch it, but security guards were nearby.. climbing onto the platform was an absolute no-no as well.
Although it is made of wood, the pvc monogram is water proof and looks really real. Must have cost alot to bring that in...
last buy at Xi Men Ding.=D
Rush back to hotel to take the Freego bus service to Airport.
NEVER AGAIN WILL I TAKE FREEGO TO AIRPORT AGAIN..arggh
Taxi next time.
Luckily we chose the earlier timings.. there were alot of confusions, overbookings and we have to change from one bus to another as there were not enough seats although we called and reserved. People shouting here and there especially there was this HK gal.. very scary..
If they didnt get me to the airport on time, I think I will scream too. And what was next?! A 30 odd year old Singaporean guy and his family snatched our seats! I was really really mad I tell you, I stared at him till he gave up his own seat to my mum. I dont mind standing for 30 mins, but doesnt he have eyes that my mum is older? and that was OUR SEATs!
Anyway, we got off the bus to transfer to another bus 30 mins later lugging all our luggages nor~
FUMING MAD.
SQ is not just a ride, it's an experience. Look forward to my next SQ ride manzz..
Fully occupied watching underworld revolution that I didnt sleep.
Bought a leather wallet for Darren. Think it's rather unique and you can imprint the person's name on it too.. so cute. hee
When can I go again?

Xin told me she lurve Jiu Fen alot cos it got this nostalgic feel. Sipping tea above the mountains, watching time (and birds of course) fly by and just enjoy the gentle breeze.
=D
I lurve that place too.
Took a train early in the morning to Rui Fang Station. It's actually a no-seat ticket because we did not make a booking. So folks, please make your booking a few days earlier.
But we were lucky!! We sat in other 
people's seat for the whole journey and nobody asked us to get up. The train was really full but we just so happened to get 2 empty seats that nobody was assigned to them. Think their reservation system is a little strange..
Reached!!
Dont know why we took this photo given the fact that there were SO MANY people in the background.
Our first decent meal.
Something the magazine recommended. 阿婆鱼羹鱼丸店
Their soup is delicious and their big big fishy balls are not too bad too.
So many people blocking the nice scenery behind.. (okay I'm guilty of that too) a little gloomy though...
Very gloomy.. which makes the area appears even more sad
Eating time!
We couldnt find the one recommended in the book but this shop was really crowded. We tried their"Orr yi", just as good but I prefer the Dong Qu's one as that was red bean soup base and this was clear soup.
Next stop.. Teahouse stop to rest our tired feet and pay a visit to their toilets keke Felt very calm and peaceful there. Didnt choose the outdoor one cos it started to drizzle...sadzz
kinda scary when I looked down..
Ah Mei Cha Lou is the recommended one.. very authentic and traditional place..
dont think the poster is talking about me hor.. I didnt noticed that. and what does it mean? *shake head*
Going MOS tonight~~ I seriously need to unwind. =D

Just some interesting pictures to share...
Famous Duck Tongue at Xi Men Ding.
It's a MUST-TRY. Heard from my mum that Fann Wong lurves their Duck Tongue.
I tried and I like it too! Spicy and Salty, goes best with porridge hee hee. Ate them on 2 consecutive nights. You dont have to buy 500g or 1kg.. they go by pieces too. *drooling*
Dont ask me what they are doing in the middle of the street. I really have no idea. They just suddenly performed a stunt.
Good balancing act!
cute doggies for sale~ They look so soft to the touch..
very tired today...think have a serious lack of sleep.
Look forward to my comfy bed... yawnzz

Finally, well enough to start my Taiwan trip blog again.2nd day!!
Still raining...
At the hotel for breakfast. Their breakfast.. eh.. nothing to look forward to. Just simple porridge and bread and butter.
Quite bad I must say, but the location of the hotel is good so I guess we just have to catch breakfast somewhere.
Maybe next time I will try staying at East Dragon.
Borrowed the Taiwan guide from Xin and this is a book that I want to rave. It’s in Japanese though but there are a loads of maps inside, information on what is good to eat, their opening hours, how to go etc. A really useful guide.
Went to the 排骨大王 that was introduced in the book. It’s quite near Rainbow Hotel, maybe about 15 mins walk away. The book wrote that it’s a famous shop and they can sell up to 1000 bowls of pai gu on busy days.
Walked into a little lane cos mum saw some fruits there and since the eatery is not opened, we took a short walk inside.
Guess what I saw..
-__-!!
Bet those clothes sure have a fishy smell in them..eeeks
Indeed the noodles were delicious.
The noodles are really Q.. although the ribs are a tad too hard to chew. But the soup and noodles were yummyzz
After our delicious breakie, we went shopping around 中山站. Went to First Chemical!
The one that Niu Er recommended in his book for DIY beauty products
Location : First Chemical
Station : 中山站
How to go: 15 mins walk. Exit at Exit 1 and turn left and walk straight. There’s a map at their webbie
Reached!
See my mum closely scrutinizing all the skincare products. Shopping is in our blood.
In the end, she got one big bottle of serum and I got one bottle of collagen serum and some masks next door as well.
Niu Er!...
photo on the wall.. -_-
You can get the Ultrasonic Face massager here as well at 1575NT. But I think it’s best to get from the auctions which is cheaper. I got mine from Yahoo Taiwan Auction : eldobs. SHe charges only 1370NT and throws in 2 gifts as well. She does international delivery. Happie Shopping~
But if you are in Taiwan, you can just ask her to deliver it to your hotel, and pass the cash to the hotel counter staff. That’s what I did. =D
Lunch.. we were famished after all the walking.
After having our fill, we went to Yi Die for shopping. They were having this anniversary sale 买2000送200. Me and mum spent about $450 there ALL on lingerie. Keke. They have a whole floor of lingerie! Ultimate lingerie shopping!
Not really cheap but I find them really comfy and some brands, you cant find them in Singapore.
Used the discount to buy the newly launched Victoria jeans that Lin Zhi Ling modelled. Lurve the cutting~ need to alter the length..
Enuff of Shopping! we went to Xin Bei Tou~
It was still raining... =(
but the weather was cool enough for some hot spring, otherwise we will be too hot.Downside was, the place was quite beautiful.. if it wasn’t raining, the outdoor scenery will be great for pictures...
haizz too bad.
On the way there, we saw some teachers bringing a group of kids. From the back, they look so much like little ducks, so cute, and they kept talking and shouting while they walk. Really cute! =D
We crossed the road to join them, they were standing over longkang holes.. and the teachers were telling them
"zheng lian jiu hen shuai, hen mei "(cos there’s steam coming out from the longkang holes and the teachers were asking them to do some facial steaming) -_-
Even longkang oso got steam nor...
Mummy at the Hot Spring Museum
We chose Shui Do cos we didnt really see others around and they have discount in the tourist Pass. Yesh we are cheapo! haha
We chose private room bath for 2 hours to bathe in the comfort of a hotel room. Would have gone for the public one if it wasnt raining..

It's still raining...
At the hotel now, waiting for mummy to finish breakfast before going to chiang kai shek memorial hall to see their guards changing ceremoni. It's been raining from Day one and my shoe is still wet. But the shopping is quite good. And the food is the best. Mum got alot of nice and cheap clothings and shoes (something like bkk, only 8 bucks)
Bought a pair of jeans!!
Havnt seen any boots that I like yet.. hope to find them today.
Ding Tai Feng laterzzz...

雨一直下
It's still raining! This year's April feels like December. It has been raining for 3 days this week.
Taipei's weather is about the same.
My friend advised me if the rain gets any heavier in taiwan, just get those disposable raincoat and you will still be able to go anywhere. Hope I dont have to go to such extent.
Anyway, I did some shopping even before departing singapore. Bought books over the internet to be delivered to one of the 7-11 near my hotel. Save the time of going to the bookstores and there's discount too!
Books

Hopefully, all my auction items will arrive safely at my hotel as well. I made alot of preparations and even called them up from singapore to reconfirm my orders.
See you guys soon =)

Havnt really start to pack yet. Dont have much things to bring because I need more space to put my stuff when I come back. hee hee
Weather hasnt been very good this week in Singapore. Just checked Taipei's weather, their weather isn't so good either.
But it seems that the rainfall over there is getting lesser. *cross my fingers*
Anyway, they have loads of underground shopping malls.. I just have to backup my plan a little if the weather gets a bit rough.
Hopefully I will be able to make it for my hot spring.
The weather now just make me feel like a pig.
I'm going to bed now.
*Yawn*
