Gennie in Town - Part 1

Gennie (with her bf) was here over the weekends. Received her email a few weeks back, and have been looking forward to her visit ever since.

we last met each other in Taipei in June, and now... she's FINALLY here!!!

over the email, i told her Spore's rather cold (to me at least), been raining lately, so bring long sleeved shirt n jacket. when she touched down, she called me and said, "Mei, it's so hot in Spore. Long sleeved shirt n jacket???!!!" Hahaha, oops. =X

Above pic shows them enjoying the local cuisine of Hainanese Chicken Rice, Zui Quay, Wanton noodles and Sweet n sour tao gua (sounds thai, haha).

but do you know what's Gennie's favourite food among all? Not the ever popular chicken rice, but teh tarik, to-say and nann, and i think nasi brayani too! yes, she LOVES the indian food. She'll go... "mei, the indian food here is so nice!!!" go franchise lar... that's my reply.

next stop.... is the Bird Park (my 2nd trip, since i was 5)

She's coming

Gennie is coming to Spore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Weet!!! =D


p/s: to JL who still reads my blog, is that you? the one who left comment on the earlier post. hahaha, y i rant in chinese? Cos i like? =P and well, not many understands chinese. who is good. or HATES to read, which is good too.

start blogging!

it's 8.14pm now and i'm feeling very sleepy.

and i know, i haven't blogged for a while.

one word - lazy.

haha

and i know, i haven't finished posting up my taiwan photos, and i'm heading out of S'pore again tmr. Weet! =D

it's a place i haven't been for the past 5 years. looking forward to it? Hmmm... a little, cos i'm heading out with 9 others. HAHAH how cool is that?

i haven't finished packing.

i haven't figured how to use the camera.

i haven't figured what's the temperature at the other city.

but i'm cool~ weet!

sidetrack a little, i'm going to talk about a person next. Someone.... whom i haven't talked about for sometime or mentioned over here.

saw him at the station just now, saw his backview, and i knew it was him. how's he doing? i wondered to myself. it's been a few years since we last talked, and sometimes i would think of those days where he was around. yup, flashbacks in my mind on my way home too.

fantastic guy, probably a little boring but yet, steady and goody goody guy. haha

my frens said “你们就是有缘无份”

probably.

老实说，过了那么多年，不知道你还会看我这边的东西。

如果，你认为我说的人是你，那么就是你。

人生中，来来往往的人很多，而你，在我影响中真的很深刻。

谢谢你对我的好。我永远都会记得。

我有句话很想对你说，这次就在这边说，因为如果当面对你说，可能真的会很尴尬。

嗯。

谢谢你，对不起。

and back to my holidays! photos?

one of the little pleasures in life... is enjoying the beautiful things God has created. :)

擁抱

今天給了一群人擁抱.

擁抱是一種愛的表現.

給予你鼓勵, 支持和勇氣.

也能溫暖一個人的心.

你給你身邊的人一個擁抱了嗎?

知足長樂, 這個道理你懂嗎?

playing: what should we do - jisun

今天跟X小姐聊天, 她的朋友問她10年後, 她要到達生活裡的哪個地位.

她說, 快樂就好, 不想那麼多.

她朋友就說她胸無大志.


請問, 如果是你, 你的答案會是什麼?

要當上公司的高層?
要擁有很多的錢?
要有房子, 要有名車?
要風得風, 要雨得雨?

你是這樣想的嗎?

你問我, 3年後, 我會做什麼, 我老實跟你說, 我不知道.

我也不想知道到時候的我會是怎樣.

可是我希望, 無論是3年後的我
5年後的我
10年後的我
20, 30, 40 年後的我

還會是個 happy being.

人生這個旅程有多長, 沒人知道. 可能下一分鐘, 你就會在上帝的身邊, who knows?

要追求這些生外物, 能帶給你什麼快樂? 什麼滿足感? 可能你可是告訴我.

至少, 我知道, 我現在滿足我的現狀.

有個愛我的家

有群陪我哭, 陪我笑, 陪我出國的好朋友

偶爾有錢就買自己喜歡的東西, 出個國

偶爾有個時間, 就去跑跑步, 逛逛街

人生裡的一切, 真的要計較那麼多?

什麼理財, 什麼保養, 什麼有的沒的

什麼你的錢賺多少, 你的衣服包包是名牌嗎, 什麼你有幾個信用卡

這些.. 真的是狗屁.

知足長樂...

也許.. 你會比較...

快樂.

Gennie

I met up with Gennie twice during my 9 days stay in Taiwan. Had trouble meeting her up for dinner during our first meeting, cos... i was lost in taipei city. haha

Alright, my chinese isn't fantastic (getting worse in fact), so when she told me to go to 府州 （fu zhou) station, i took a cab and i ended up at 复兴（fu xing) station. I almost didn't want to meet her up, cos i was too tired and hungry by then, but then i went ahead. hahaha...

went to a pasta restaurant. The portion of food was huge, and I realised, taiwanese restaurants like to have set meals for their customers. So you'll have salad, soup, main, desert and of course a free drink. And it all costs less than 15 sing. Ah... what a good deal! and of course... their food isn't too bad. Will intro the food next round, let me blog about my meet up with Gennie.

Talked for a while with Gennie and her friends, met up with Tricia too (she's a eng-chi translator) so her eng is superb!!

On the train, Gennie asked, " Mei, how long have we known each other?"

I thought for a while... then she said, " don't you think it's about 7 years now?"

I counted, and yes... we've known each other for 7 years already. It's something not easy, because, she's based in Taiwan and i'm in Singapore. It's msn and emails and phone calls once in a while.

she's a fantastic lady, someone who's got her own set of thoughts about many things. Voices out when things don't go the right way. Stubborn in certain ways.

But i like her for who she is. :)

and she told me she'll be marrying next year, and will relocate to Gaoxiong, and i was like..

"why Gaoxiong? then when i'm in taipei, i can't meet up with you. and gaoxiong has got

nothing..." *shows a displeased look*

“haha.. then i'll come down to taipei, then you can meet me up." *face brightens up*

we've made a pact, she said she'll bring me to some islands off Taiwan when i visit next year.

And Tricia was the witness to the whole pact. hahaha

就一言为定咯！明年见！

oh i told her to have her wedding to be held on a Saturday, so i can fly over to attend. She said, for me, she'll do that. hahaha *beaming*

ah... i love this woman. =D

taiwan part 2

I have no idea how many parts there gonna be. Cos.. i was away for 9 days. It might be many parts. hahaha you have no idea how many GB worth of photos i've got... -_-

My 2nd time to Taiwan, and first time to the renowned Ding Tai Fung along 永康街 (yong kang street). Taxi drivers normally will know where it is located. From what i know, there isn't any train station nearby, therefore, it's better you take a cab down.

Many of the customers are Japanese, so the waitresses/ waiters know how to speak Japanese. And the service is pretty swift and good. Food wise, i'm satisfied. Esp the dumplings. Yummy!!!

Us at 永康公园，i have no idea what we were doing there. hahaha

Next up, I'm going to introduce you a shop located at 永康街 too. It sells french pastries. I tired some, and it was aweseome.....

sidetrack a little, come visit my boutique when you're in taipei, it's along 永康街 as well. :)

okay, why i like the black piece so much, it's called 可丽露 by the way. It's hard on the outside, but real soft inside. I'm not sure if it's sugar coated on the outside (prob not), but when you bite it, it tasted real different because it's hard and soft at the same time. And the inside tasted like some banana kueh we have in Singapore. Try it!

when the 7 of us went into the shop, within just a few mins, the shop was packed with people. Crowds attract crowds ya? If you noticed, the whole shop is white, but yet, i thought it was really tastefully done. That really drew us in and ended up buying lotsa pastries. -_- But, no regrets, it's delicious. Price wise, not that cheap. But how often do you really get nice looking, fanastically delicious french pastries?

If you're interested to visit the shop:

okay, i'm tired already. Night people. =D
