台灣 ♥♥



Hi all, finally more photos of the Taiwan Trip!
For those who have been enquiring about the tour agency nope we didn't go on tour, it was 10 days free and easy :)

A big thank you to the great planners of the trip! Morgan and Francisca :D


Day 1

月光海洋 @ 花蓮市


Our stay for 2 nights.

We stayed in guest houses for the entire trip cos we reckoned it would be really costly for 9nights. Paid only $230 for all 9nights awesome right?


First 夜市 of the trip. 自強 @ 花蓮 Reminds me of the old school games and food, not so much of fashion clothes and accessories.



Day 2 - Hua Lien Port





More dolphins!


Cute x1


Then to Taroko National Park.

Super nice scenery. Reminds me of 神雕侠侣 hahaha


Then we found this really high end hotel on the top of the mountain.
I wonder who stays in such places, so inaccessible.

Stopped by for tea and cakes


Streets of Hua Lien


Day 3
Our awesome breakfast prepared by the owner of the house!


To the happening 西門町



Didnt stay for long cos the temperature was like 37degrees that afternoon. Couldnt take it man!


Guest House in 复兴南路

Really small but cozy rooms




Day 4
Sweets @ Taipei.
Never a fan of Hello Kitty but at the end of our lunch I think HK is kinda cute!

Within walking distance from where we stayed!



The Zhou sisters :D



The food was much better than we thought. Didnt expect HK restaurant to serve such delicious and affordable food!






Then to Party World! $6 for like 3hrs :)
They had a scoring system to rate our singing after every song. Pretty cool stuff.




Next was to the tv station for Guess Guess Show. What an experience!

Meet 丫頭!


All excited to see the celebrities!


3hrs of sitting on the floor is no joke.


Spot 2moro!




Jacky Wu!


SUPER Gorgeous!! Her name should be Barbie Hou instead of Patty man.


Day 5 - Shopping at 五分埔









Cute x2




Cute x3


饒河夜市

Day 6
All day breakfast @ NY BAGELS




... speechless


To Miniature museum




From food reflexology


To nail art




Day 7 - 陽明山




小油坑



情人桥 @ 淡水



If only my 情人 was there, we could have taken such nice photos too :(



Cute x4


Back to Ximen Ding for X-men first class & Modern Toilet restaurant







Day 8 - 九份














Wanted to go to the famous LUXY but it was closed for an event so we headed to LAVA instead.





Fran's Taiwanese friends joined us too!


Motherlisa had her usual, Martell on the rock hahahha




Day 9 - Home Sweet Home!





Alright that's the end of my very brief update on Taiwan. I have no idea where the other 1 day went but in between were night market visits everyday.
The must-go 夜市 :
  • 士林夜市
  • 饒河夜市
  • 師大夜市
  • 逢甲夜市

Ok back to emails!
Till then..

Straighter teeth with Aurora Aligner :D (invisible braces)

Image
  Hey y'all!  So after so many years of procrastinating I am finally doing something to my teeth. Initially I still thought I could live with the crooked teeth issue but I realised, it's getting out of hand so it's time to seek help.      I just got started on it and I'm currently on my 4th set of aligner but I have so much faith in this journey already. So I first started googling and found myself shortlisting a few ways to straighten my teeth and at the end of it, Aurora Aligner it is. My doctor is Dr Krystle from Nam Fung Dental Clinic and it's located 10mins away from my office.   Since I am turning 30 this year, I reckoned it's not too ideal for me to go for the traditional metal braces. So invisible braces it is!  Fun Fact: I had braces done when I was primary 4 on my upper jaw coz my front tooth couldn't grow due to insufficient space.    My set of teeth seems pretty straight from the front but in actual fact there's this particular to...

DRx; my savior.

A picture taken on 15th Aug 2012 to kickstart my blogpost for The DRx Clinic aka my savior.  Ready?   . . . . . . . . . . . Embrace. My worst outbreak ever 2 years back.   It definitely took a lot of courage to post this pic up but yup this was my skin condition during my first visit to The DRx Clinic 2 years ago. I've set memories of that bad past to rest and I almost couldn't remember how unhealthy my skin was until Dr David flipped through my records and I knew I had to show you guys how The DRx Clinic saved my complexion.   My skin started breaking out with all the huge pimples below my cheeks on both sides of my face ever since I started travelling to GZ for work.  It was so depressing as there were visible bumps all over and even makeup couldn't conceal them.  And when my guy friend asked bluntly 'What happened to your face man?', I realized I had to seek he...
