Chocolates N Cheese

Yeap, second day in Taipei. Arrived yesterday at around 8pm. Din do much planning on what to see, since it’s a company trip and I will mostly follow the bosses wherever they wanna go. in fact, i only packed the night before (if u count 2am the night before). Sighz. Wasn’t really excited lah, since there are 5 ppl on this trip, means i cannot go crazy shopping for all the clothes that i wanna buy.

Yesterday went to some night market, i think it’s the Shilin night market. Got really excited by ALL the different type of food there. OMG. I went crazy in fact. everything i saw looked yummy man!!! I think i overate. The thing i like most were the sausages. there were ALL kinds!!! Small, large, black, white. hahahaha… Muti-national. The one that i am looking to try during one of these days is the really really large sausage that’s the size of two 500ml Ice Mountain mineral water put together (imagine the length!!!). Not bad lah, first night and i damaged my wallet by $75 SGD liao. Did the shopping when my bosses went for their foot massage. Whew. Quite happy. Got 2 pairs of shoes, a skirt and a 3/4 pants. So cheap! And the food’s soooo cheap too (the one that we bought at the side streets lah). hehehe

Oh ya. the hotel i’m staying in (Taipei Fullerton) is BEAUTIFUL! I LOVE my room. The best thing about being the only female in the office is that i dun have to share my room with anyone. So i have the WHOLE bed, the WHOLE bathroom, the WHOLE desk and the WHOLE mess to myself!!! There’s free ADSL internet here so i’m on 24/7!!!

Ok. Day 2 now. Woke up late. hahahaha. Went down for breakfast in time for them to put the close sign after i entered. Breakfast was ok lah, wat do u expect of a hotel right? So anyway, after that, we went for a ride to ermm.. some day market. Forgot the name. Names in chinese very diff to remember lah…. Bought a top there. sighz. damn expensive. $45 SGD. Now i’m regretting it a lil but not letting it bother me anyway. But this street’s really funky. Got loads of shop to cater for gals and there’re loads of streetwear. I nearly bought a REALLY cool pair of Dada’s but then no size. sighz… Actually, come to think of it, luckily i din buy man!!!

Next we went to this place called Lao Jie or something. Old Street in English. There, we went crazy again with all the food and also i bought loads of funky stuff home for my family. Carry like siao! As of now, i only have 700 NT in my pocket. DIE. I’ve still 2 more full days to go man!!! Here hardly accepts card. Damn sian.

Ok. Today afternoon was slightly boring. Sighz. In the end, we sat in a cafe by the river and played win lose or draw. Walau eh. Waste time. In the end, we took a LONG train ride back to the hotel and had only about half hour to refresh n we were out again around 9pm. But the night turned out SO much better. Had this dinner at this restaurant that was damn cheap. $7 SGD for this set meal that consisted of a drink, rice and a HUGE hotpot all to myself!!! That’s the best thing about Taiwan- the food! Cheap & pretty good if u know how to appreciate it.

So, after we were done with dinner, we headed to Luxy, a club in the city, said to be quite nice and classy. As usual, gals pay lesser to get in. My entry fee was at $20 SGD while the guys paid $40 SGD. Coolest! But the drink only one drink and u could ONLY have Johnny Walker & Coke. Oh well…

We met our client there, Melissa. And she was with Santino, the winner of Project Runway season 2!!! OMG. He was SO tall!!! One and the half times my height! Whenever i couldn’t find the group, i just looked out for him coz he was taller than anyone else in the room. Anyway, the club ROCKS. Everyone there was busy enjoying themselves and just letting go. The drinks sucked tho, but the entertainment was GOOD! They had a fire twirler, flaring bartenders and dancing gals. Very very interesting. The club itself was high celiinged and very victorian and posh. Very nice! Anyway, got a chance to dance with Santino on the podium (no hanky panky lah, just dancing) and then all the rest joined in too! This was REALLY fun!. Then Jazzy Jeff took over the decks with his scratching and mxing. It was rocking man!!!!

Now 2.30pm. Sighz. wish we din have to leave early but tomorrow i think we’re gona go to some village then meet Melissa & Santino for Karaok. Shd be quite fun lah, eventho i wish i was shopping more. Which reminds me, i better go change my money.

I miss Singapore tho. I miss being there with all my frens. Altho the club here is cooler, i wish i was with my group of galfrens. We would’ve brought the house down!!!!!

Ok ok. Time to sleep. Quite tired and my comfy bed beckons me.

Will try to write more tomorrow, if i’m not tired out.

Yeap. Thinking of 25 things to do in one night for Audrey’s bday (Audrey, u must be reading this right! hahaha). Got til December to think about it so if u know any suggestions, lemme know! Can’t wait man. Heh. This is gonna be fun coz i know she very sporting one. She’ll have to complete 25 tasks during her MOS night and one of them will include 25 different cocktails! Mwahaha. Dunno how she gonna tahan. As long as she doesn’t get too pissed drunk, i think we’ll be safe. Hmm.. what else will be fun? Will think about it.

Just completed the Gems TV IPO Launch. Not bad lah. It was held at Bar None on Friday and except the fact that the AV had some problems, in the end all worked out. Once it was all done, Pamela (who’s this really sweet Marketing Chick from Bar None) treated me to some YUMMY Absolut Peach. My new fav drink (yes lah, i very suaku lah). I feel the ppl are very frenly there at Bar None. It’s just too bad that i’m too ‘young’ for the crowd there. I reckon the ppl that go there are older and more matured ppl. Eee… it’ll be like hanging out with my uncles. hahahaha

So. Am back in the office after the 2 and half day Roadshow at OUB centre. The weather was crazy! A while hot, a while rain. Urgh. And coz we were in a tent, we had to keep opening and closing the STUPID curtains that were so difficult to handle! Urgh. Thank God for Part timers! hahaha.. Most of the time, i just sit and stone and they just stand and stare at ppl. hahahaha

Oh well, i gotta go now. Pretty short post coz my brain’s pretty stoned now. Have to wake up so bloody early in the morning, my body wanna break down liao. Good part is i’m getting some destressing this evening! Yeay! Starting with 1 Rochestor (SPH party) and then O Bar and then MOS! Yeay!
