Cold, wet Taipei – Day 1

Yep. I just came back from Taiwan with a flu. That’s the evidence how cold & wet Taiwan is.

Taiwan205

I never got the chance to see the sun light during the whole stay, except the last day I was transferred to the airport. Dang, Taiwan hate my presence!

Speaking about hate & presence, I came to know that young girls at their 20’s really hate me, for real! Along this time I was the one who envy how smooth is their skin and perky butt, somehow, smooth skin & perky butt are not enough to make them feel great about their age. Mature girls with 1001 issues are still their biggest threat!

A 22 years old boy sent me a friend request in my facebook, which I thought he’s already in my buddy list. “my girl deleted you”. That’s his explanation. I was like “WTF?” because I remembered that I never had any public or private contact with this boy – I never commented any of his pictures or activities because they are too boring. Somehow his girlfriend manage to track and delete me off from her boyfriend buddy list. How funny is that? And she did the same thing again, few days after we re-buddy.

Young girl, let me tell you something – Im flattered with your act. Really. Knowing that your young ass unable to handle the presence of a mature girl like me, makes me feel grateful that I am always at the right age & phase. I am so right until you unable to digest the truth projected in front of you. It is a threat for you when your boyfriend having me in his circle of friends. You are afraid that, in your boyfriend’s mind - Im becoming a new standard of how a girl supposed to be. Well, finish your study, get your degree and earn your own money before you wanted to talk about standard. One thing is that, invading your boyfriend’s right & privacy is not sexy. It’s your lost to disconnect us because, maybe, I can let him know a secret or two of how to please a girl or you - is another thing. And boy, I wish you good luck with that. 

And yes, I know what’s annoyed you. I can switch my character and presence from a mature woman

Taiwan! 001

Ximen, Taipei

to a young girl like you (even cuter than you), back and forth without trying hard. HAHAHA.

So, back to my trip. This is my 1st ever package trip. I hate package trip because it made me clueless of where and what road I was at. Yes it was written inside the tour itinerary, but our tour guide keep swapped it up and down to accommodate the time with the program and the route taken. Just sat inside the van like a doll and let them bring me to the place where I can take a lot of pictures with limited time frame. Not cool! 

Taiwan! 6

Touched down at Taoyuan Airport at around 3pm and heading straight to Ying Zhen Hotel at Taoying Road. We checked in, checked whatever stuff we might need during the trip which is UMBRELLA and right back on the street by foot. We had our free & easy on the 1st day so the best to discover new place is by foot.

Ying Zhen 

Nothing interesting about this hotel except for their huge bed and located right in front of Watson. Their room kind of having a moldy smelly and they should improve on breakfast menu. 

Taiwan! 7

It was almost 7pm when we had Japanese for dinner. It’s cheap here because I can get a cup of steamed egg at Rm1.80

Taiwan! 8

You definitely need to travel with someone who can read & converse in Mandarin here, or else you’ll end up with pork leg in your dinner plate. Look at the price. It was 10.75 when I exchange MYR to NTD.

Taiwan! 9

News on typhoon attack in Taipei recently.

Taiwan! 10

Taiwan! 17

So.. as usual, I opt for fish, egg, salad and clear soup. Go Japanese! Easy choice when you are not so sure about anything.

Taiwan! 056

So we strolled down the Taoying road until nowhere.. and we had to take a cab to go back to our hotel. Haha.

Taiwan! 19

So, it happened that I saw some Malay translation in some hair saloon along of street of nowhere. I was so excited and I had an urged that to pose in front of it.

Taiwan! 20

So I believed this streets are infested with immigrants. I was confused for a while and reminded myself that Im not in Vietnam.

Taiwan! 24

School kids displaying their raw talent in the subway.

Taiwan! 087

Night market in the streets of nowhere.

Taiwan! 26

I was so attracted to this super round guava and I know how crispy it is by looking at it. So my friend and I stopped by to check it out and what you know! 5 minutes later I left with free guava! There was a local Taiwanese guy busy checking me out and my medium size chest, up and down, left to right and left again. He kept asking my friend where were we came from and all. He insisted to pay for the guava even he looks like can’t afford to buy for himself! So, thank you Mr. smelly guy!

Taiwan! 29

Even fruit seller in Taiwan wearing a fake lashes! I hardly see any girls in here without fake lashes!

We walked further up for an hour until I had to get myself a rubber slippers. I was so tired and asked my friend to go back to our hotel and rest.. because we had to get up at 7am next morning for our next destination. I told you! I hate packaged tours!

Taiwan! 32

My cheesy sweet findings on my 1st night in Taiwan. This is from Milk Houses bakery nearby Taipei railway station. Photograph is not allowed at the shop so I can’t take any pictures to show you how fancy the shop is! It’s painted in black, with silver bird cage and grape vines hanging in every corner of the shop. The bread rack displayed like it’s Halloween and the breads looks superlicious! So I grabbed a piece of cheesecake, cheese tart, box of cookies and garlic bread. I need a serious energy for tour tomorrow!

 

-end of day 1. Will continue with day two, if I have a time. hehe.

Wrong.

Lately, I discovered that I do have a dream guy. Real one, not the typical tall-dark-handsome with bank full of money. I have been writing to him back and forth for almost a year and slowly I came to realize he’s the one I’ve been dreaming of.

Last night I had an emotional confession to a young man about a girl like me in the hope that he will be the first one who open up into a different way of thinking and perception. I told him the secret of a women’s heart and now it has no longer stay a secret for him anymore. So that he will do his thing right by making one less lonely girl in this planet when his time finally come. I think I did it fine because I can see in his eyes the way he looked at me in a different way before he left. I feel respected.

Today, I came to know today that my dream guy slept with his best friend of 15 years after a birthday party, few weeks ago. I appreciate the honesty but I guess he’s no longer in my dream. This is not my first time though, and I didn’t blame him for what has happened. I was being mistaken as a good friend (most of the time), because I am so good creating a comfortable, safe and clean zone of platonic friendship. So, I should feel proud of myself, here. Because it really saved me from a heartbroken for falling into a wrong guy. 

Few hours ago I was told by a guy that, I look like a girl with high maintenance plus a girl that wouldn’t fit for a wife. He got that conclusion just by flipping through my photos just in 1 day and I believed it goes the same with other guys too. Yes, pictures do tell stories and I wasn’t lucky enough to get my portrait right to every people’s minds. I am so tired with the assumptions, so I think I want to quit explaining.

Im blessed with few things that other girls or men could ever wished for. But I would like to remind you that.. be careful with what you wished for.. because you might just get it and stuck with it. Still, it is my fault in getting things wrongly interpreted. I made hard things seems so easy, ugly sight became so pretty and normal geeky girl didn’t fit for a wife material. I really have no clue that I have the ability to magnify unnecessary things and its killing me. All I wanted to be is to be an inspiration and inspire people who has inspired me.

…and still, people came to me and said “be yourself, be genuine and keep it real” ah..

Despite of all, I will still keep on dreaming, even with my eyes open.

I dream.

Dear William, thank you for letting me keep the crown, anyway its too slippery for your almost baldy head. Yes I lost to Kate now but I know we are destiny to be like your daddy Charles & step mother Camilla in 15 years time. I will get you back here on my lap. Love u. xoxo.

I know. It’s a fairytale come true for Kate Middleton, but while the girls and I were watching the live telecast of the Royal wedding of the century, we were screaming! NO! not because there goes our dreamy smile dream prince. It’s his bald patch! Why can’t he just;


1) Plant some hairs
2) Shave that head bald
3) Wear a royal wig ! 


It’s your big day and the whole world is watching! How could Kate didn’t do anything about it? If she managed to get William to get her on the throne, don’t tell me she unable to talk William out about what to do with that patch on their big day! Gosh. Don’t tell me she has a fetish towards patchy skull! How could she make love to it?! Arrgghh… save me & my imagination from picturing their love making session. Arrgghhh! How could you William? I mean.. How could you Kate??

So, I was at Rain Bi’s F1 Sepang concert. Not to say his solo concert la. I had to stand and torture myself to watch Ford’s (Malaysia) Supermodel’s search finale. Who cares about those long legged girls strutting in their skinny jeans, wiggling their boobs and hair at the temperature of  28 degree Celsius? Sorry Ford’s girls, forgive me to break the truth to you.  It wasn’t you who make the temperature hot on 10th April. It was the heat from the racing circuit. I’m not jealous. What the heck for? I paid RM250.00 to watch my 1st ever concert and my dream Korean guy! But I had to go in 2 hours before he start his performance because I was too short to stand behind! Screw you. How does it make us feel down here, sweating like a pig, smell like a gutter, and watching you strutting your thin ass on the stage and Rain look at super ugly with sticky armpit us right after that?



Rain Bi concert

So, that was the moment, I’ve been waiting for. I never been to any concert in my entire life. I can’t stand standing too long, cramping with smelly sweating peoples (or was it me?) and got my foot stepped by inconsiderate jumping bastards plus whacking my head with their elbows! IT’S NOT COOL BEING    4’ 9’’ okay! I repeat - Not COOL!



Rain Bi concert 1
rain bi concert 2


and why he has that camel toe on his crotch? I want to see big bulging crotch with what I have paid! Not the camel toe! You didn’t tear your shirt off, you made us watching skinny ass Ford’s supermodel finalist 1 hour before you start, you seldom come to stage section where I stand and I can’t take a closer picture of you! And now Camel Toe? How could you?!!!



and oh, thank you for a 3 second of your famous hip grinding.




But no thanks. It was too short to turn me on! Urggh.


But then, you really bring back my teenage dream alive at the age like this (um, secret). It has been so long I never screamed over a guy, especially a stranger like you. So, I was very curious.. how is it look like if you are mine..
Rain Bi is my BF
It looks perfect.… haha.

miss nina office


Was at my girlfriend's office, somewhere at Menara TM (heheh). We've been friends for 15 years and I never had a chance to drop by at her working place at all until last Friday. Her office is so cool - they had a big freezer with wall's free ice creams and big ass tv! They welcome me like they knew me for ages. Gosh, it explains why she able to stay up late and so committed to her work - she has a happy working environment and awesome workmates! I never imagined that able to watch live telecast tv program in someone's office - during working hour with their boss around! How cool is that? In addition to the coolness of her office, it happened that one of her friend was there, with mountains of Coach, Burberry and Aigner handbags for sale! she just came back from her UK trip and she got it cheap and she do have a website selling authentic branded items at cheaper price! Whoa! Icy cool! Ladies, gotta drop by at her website once your bonus in :) Gotta reward yourself once or twice in a year!

By looking at the stuffs she sell, I asked her - "So, tell me. What about your own collection? You must have a room full of Prada, Gucci, Louis Vuitton and all back at your place? "She just giggled back at me. I knew it! She one hell of a lucky lady! she must be the happiest woman on earth! Arggh.

Nothing.

Just imagine the look of a little girl’s face when you flashes her a pink cotton candy or colorful swirled lollypop. Her face suddenly brightens with smile, because she thinks it’s for her. That is the most basic natural impulse between the two. You hand it out to her and she took it in a speed of light until she forgot to thank you because she is so happy. The next minute you realized you’ve made a mistake. It wasn’t for her. You go back, apologize and took it away from her hand in a very nice way (because you know it’s your fault). She is sad, but she has to accept that it wasn’t for her. People made mistake and her mom always taught her well that, she must not take whatever which is not belong to her. Just imagine how it feels when you thought you got to hold on something you like but it wasn’t for you at the 1st place. Just because, the one who gave it to you – had no clue what he was doing.

Have you ever experience the situation where, someone said something sweet and nice to you till it made your heart flutters but the next hour , the next day he took it back complete with apologize and explanation that the sweet line he poured it out actually wasn’t meant for you? In fact, you should not to hear it at the 1st place. It was a total mistake and he convinced you not once, but many times that it was said out of a wrong thoughts – some kind like out from middle of crisis’s thoughts.

I was so foolish thinking that those sweet, good words were always came out straight from the heart, and the bad one came out when you were in anger, misunderstood or in sober. And now I just realized I got it all – in a wrong way. It happened to me every time, and I still have trouble to learn about this one. I tried a little, like – to ignore those sweet sayings, assumed it was a part of a joke and now, I finally learned that, it wasn’t true anymore.

It made my heart aching so bad every time I heard all the sweet sayings from any men – because I know that they just don’t know what they were doing at that point of time. I always right, the next day they came apologized for such beautiful, sweet lines they said to me. It was a total mistake. And I am the object that always have to accept such mistakes and try to, had to let go some beautiful words which came out from their fuzzy thoughts. How cheap is that? It even wasn’t came out from a clear thought and I still had to forgive them.

And now I asked myself, what is truly left for me to hear and to believe?
“nothing”

I like it how the wind works. You don’t really need to hear it just to prove its true existence and the reason why it blows. You know it’s there and you can always feel it.

Or maybe I still prefer to listen to couple of love songs, with its beautiful lyrics and melody. I don’t mind about that – because no matter how beautiful it sounds, I knew it wasn’t written for me. But it is for the record selling.

….and now I know, love letter isn’t a part of my list to get before I die, anymore.

Phuket: 10 things you gotta love about Phuket

Weekend. Not going anywhere. Im in love with home again after getting my new furniture in. It’s a life record breaking that I do the mopping and house cleaning twice in a week! . Last week, I woke up in the middle of the night without reason, and can’t continue to sleep. My beautiful mind (heh) started to boggle around and trying to find something meaningful to ponder. Then I came to think that, I really need a life makeover. I am no longer sobbing over my heartbreaking relationship, and I started to go out with them boys (yes, boys. When I said boys, it means single young boys. Haha). I looked around and I said to myself, I need a new furniture, for a start. And what do you know, I’m starting to do the mopping & cleaning and rearranging. It’s all about colors and shape now. I stop buying shoes and clothes for a week now! I think my life makeover is seriously kicking in.

Ok, I should stop bragging about life makeover now. Continue some other time. Heh. Here is the basi story. I decided to put this up while my other girlfriend is having a blast in Phuket, now. Hmmpph. Yea, this is the one about jalan jalan cari pasal in Phuket last February. Now I got it, Phuket is way nicer than Bali. Now I totally understand why is it so, after I experienced it myself.
Phuket airport
1st -  I can walk all day and night in Phuket without getting my hair sticky. That’s the signal of clean air in Phuket.

Tuktuk ride
Me taking TukTuk ride.

33
We stayed at Karon Beach, which is quite far away from the centre of Phuket fun. It costs us MYR40 per trip, from our hotel to Phuket city centre - Patong beach. So now I learned that cheap hotel location isn’t really cheap overall.

Bauman casa room
So, this is our room in Baumancasa, Karon beach, before it was totally infested by us. Only costs MYR120 for 01 night stay. Not facing the beach, far away from the fun night life and cute boys. That’s life. You get things equivalent to what you’ve paid. Cheap = sucks. Loved the hotel swimming pool’s towel and staff’s uniform though. They are all in pink =)

Phuket Porn
We’ve met the 1st Porn on our 1st day in Phuket.

27
2nd – Great food. I never been through out Asia yet. Just Vietnam, Bali and Singapore. But I swear the best Asian food is Thai food. Or maybe Im just a Thai food freak. I love Tom yum since forever. Reasonable price and full of flavor. It knocked down Bali’s Nasi Padang like > Thai’s Tomyum 150 : Bali’s Nasi Padang –10 (minus some more!! wtf..)

phuket food
So, we were like.. eating Tom Yum day & night, everyday. Eat, sleep and shit Tom Yum.

Phuket shop2
3rd – Best night shopping, located in a busy clean streets. They open until wee hour and I can find a lot of cute stuffs which I can’t get in KL.

Phuket shopping2

Phuket shopping
..and it has the most friendliest window shopping services.

Phuket night
4th – Free sight of night entertainment. Phuket babes are hot. They have clean polished skin, petite with smallest waist and naughty compared to Balinese. Or maybe I’m a bit biased in this point of view, because I always prefer the oriental look with small eyes, slim and clean fairer skin as a reference for ‘beauty’. I’m afraid that I will turn into a total lesbian if I visit Korea or Japan someday.

Phuket scooter 1

phuket scooter
5th – Fancy taste are everywhere on the streets. What a pleasant sight…

phuket mobile bar
6th – Phuket has Pink mobile bar!!!! Complete with music and cool crowd!

Phuket mobile bar1
Cuteness~!

Phuket tour
7th – Phuket tour guide is the sweetest and cheekiest! We became best friend in 8 hours tour. He was so kind by getting me something to eat when I told him I was so hungry and couldn’t wait til lunch. He also ran around to find me a pain killer pills when I told him I got headache. I never met any sweet tour guide who willing to help so much without EXTRA cents!

Phuket T
8th – Phuket has hundred of small, medium package for people on short vacation without burning a hole in your pocket. They charged you per person, per trip package. So you don’t really need a group of friends to agree and go along with you to minimize the cost. Just you and your camera will do!

Phuket tour1
I swear I got the best sun basking in my whole life. With my pink canoe floating above the clear water, our own canoe man paddling for us, taking our pictures (oh, they are good in handling dslr!), friendly tourists on the other canoe, soft wind blowing and awesome sights!

We paid MYR110.00 for a 7 –8 hours tour, consists of 4 destination – Canoeing at Phanga Bay, James Bond Island, Floating Malay Village and Monkey Temple.

Phuket tour 3
We got in and out of the cavern. Feel like Pirate of The Caribbean’s.

Phuket tour 2
Phuket tour 4

Jumping happily at James Bond island. and again, Peoples were all very friendly to take our picture together.

Phuket tour 5
Floating village. We had our lunch here. This place reminds me of water world movie.

Phuket tour 6
Phuket tour 7
Cheeky Tony.

Phuket tour 8
Phuket tour 9
We were told by our sweet tourist guide that all the pearl here is fake. Never fell for any the trick like if the seller burn the pearl for a few second. Unless they really willing to put the pearl on fire for extra 1 minute.. then, its good to buy. Haha. Extra extra info!

Phuket tour 10
Monkey Temple.

Phuket tour 11
Decent outfit… rumah ibadat le katakan… hahah.

Phuket tour 12


Phuket wi fi 
9th – Gotta love smooth FREE wi-fi in Phuket even at the cheapest hotel.

shy guy
10th – all delicious looking sights who willing to smile back at your camera~!


So, there are the 10 things I love about Phuket and OH! THAT 1 HOUR CHEAP THAI MASSAGE! which I didn’t get to experience it in Bali. Do you agree?
