Day 138 -- Delayed flight, advanced landing

The title sums up the entry pretty much. The boarding was delayed for half an hour, but when we reached Singapore in the morning, we were 30 minutes earlier than the scheduled timing -.-

The first thing I did after clearing the immigration was to get to Changi Airport T3 for Ya Kun Kaya Toast set A! The breakfast set that I was craving for the past 3 months! (And I am not exaggerating) I really missed the flavours of the toast and also ordering my coffee in the Singaporean style, eg. Kopi gao peng siew dai. True blue Singaporean will know what this whole stretch of weird wordings meant :p

Then it was truly home sweet home, but when I first got on the cab, I almost wanted to say 中山大学, and it took me a while to recall the street I lived in. No matter what, I'm still happy that I'm home, and I'll continue to post in this space, especially some reviews and whats not. Stay tuned :D

Lastly, thank you for accompanying me on this memorable, once-in-a-lifetime journey with me :)
P.S. pictures for the past few days will be up soon~

Day 100 -- A taste of home!

100 days of Taiwan! I'm left with less than 40 days before going back to the sunny island~

So we had a small party in the international dorm cooking some of our favourite home cooked food back in Singapore. It was so awesome! Bak kut teh, Yong Tau Foo, Sesame Chicken, chicken rice, and some miscellaneous dishes because we got a bit too much ingredients.

For the first time in almost 4 months, my dinner was finally salty enough! No words can describe how much I miss eating salty cooked food. And to top it off, not only did the Singaporeans had a great time, the Japanese neighbours who came over enjoyed the food too! I'm certainly glad they could appreciate those food we prepared! 

After the party, I went on to my individual part 2 of partying. Literally partying. LOL. Went to lamp alone and thought that that's gonna be the theme of the night -- Lamp Alone. But I was so surprised to see Adeline and Julie together with some of their friends over there as well! And when I saw them, Adeline was so high I almost didn't recognize her at first! It was great partying with them but it was a pity that they left early.

Continue on, I was alone for a while and being pestered by this Taiwanese guy (NO, I DON'T WANT TO DANCE WITH YOU) who obviously did not get my hint. And all of a sudden someone poked me from the back and to my (HUGE) relieve it was Lorenzo! He totally saved me! Needless to say, we partied together and had small bitching sessions while waiting for our drinks. 

Awesome night is simply, AWESOME.

Day 1 -- Hello Taiwan

I'm finally in Taiwan! The trip thus far had been relatively smooth, other than the crazy delay at the airport because the system at Changi was down.

Reached Taipei Taoyuan International Airport at 7am this morning and the first thing that greeted us was the chill of Taipei that left my fingers feeling numb throughout the rest of my time in the airport (I'm not exaggerating). It was indicated by some indoor thermostat that the temperature was a whooping 11 degrees Celsius when we first reach the airport. Being a typical will-die-without-data city girl, the first thing we looked for after clearing the customs was the telco service centres in the airport to purchase our data plan. And I got my 5 months unlimited data plan for NTD3300, which is about SGD141.6! This is certainly a real steal because it's UNLIMITED! And such offers only happens in the airport! So if you are intending to purchase any data plans, even if it's for a few days, get them in the airport! Who knows what offers are in store for you :)

After breakfast, we decided to head down to Taoyuan High Speed Rail station immediately since there aren't much things to do in the airport and it was so so so COLD! (And I am typing the above on my way to Kaohsiung on the HSR) At the station, we explored the 7-11 just because we have all heard how awesome the 7-11s here are, and obviously they didn't fail me. LOL.

So here I am, on the HSR, making my way down to the dormitory. Till tonight when I update again, ciao!

Some scenery along the way to KS!

[/Edited/]

And so we reached the dorm at 3.30pm after spending almost half the day just to get from Taipei to our dorm in the uni. And to my SHOCK, there's no lift in the dorm. Which meant, I had to lug my ~25KG luggage up all the way to level 4, which is technically the 5th level.

But if the weather is good, I'll get to see the sunset everyday!!

Then the next thing that greeted me was a DUSTY empty room, very dusty indeed (and my roomies haven't move in :(. So I had to spend another 2 odd hours to clean up my room and to make arrange my stuff. By the time we're done, it's already near 7, so we decided to venture into the neighbourhood and had some 卤味 for dinner.

And the strong winds and freezing weather did not deter us from taking #OOTN on the bridge. Day 1 was really eventful and all I'm looking forward now is to crash and snuggle under the blankets!
