Taiwanary Day 3 – Zhong Xiao Fu Xing & Shi Da Ye Shi

A month into school and I need to run faster!

Taking more modules than I should so that I can graduate faster,
so I can totally sense the sleepless nights coming along the way.

I caught a few movies recently, expandables and step-up 3,
and both were great though I prefer step up 3.
Just a bit on the post-movie star gaze for a while,
I thought the two main leads look real good in the movie,

Rick Malambri & Sharni Vinson


Rick Malambri is married, and his wife is gorgeous. :)

On a side note, guess what's in town…
I got myself an IPHONE 4!

Weeeeee, finally, after a long wait from the 3Gs to 4.
 

I got myself a black 32G black one,
but I kinda like the white one though.

And to be honest, the reception is kinda a problem,
though i do hear some mentioned that it works fine, but some mentioned otherwise.
But they said the case helped so I have downloaded the "case program" from the app store,
and got myself a free case. in case you haven, go get it now!!

Guess what's in town next?
Here're some summer outfits that are love for the weekends!


Absolutely a pleasure to chill over coffee on a afternoon with your laptop, surfing & relaxing.
Yellow summery dress that brightens up the afternoon too,
love the layered design at the skirt part and the complimentary belt (im a fan of belts!),
all thanks to The Tinsel Rack. :)


Available at The Tinsel Rack too, Jackets and blazers are no doubt the "hottest" thing on earth,
yes, i meant hottest favourites. ;)
To-die-for Khaki colour still, yes yes YES!

Back to Taiwan, here's the Day 3 of our trip.

All dressed up at the start of the day and ready to tour the place.
Our itinerary was planned to go to Zhong Xiao Fu Xing and Shi Da Ye Shi (Shi Da Night Market),
which is near that area.


Shawn commented that poots looks like bob-the-builder,
and I thought that was cute, poots!
 

Yay, love the headband i got from asos!


The geeky specs and the hat which poots got from shi lin night market.


A picture to tweet and off we go!


Tweeeeeting.


Our usual spot for the first batch of outdoor photos.


As we walked to Xi Men Station.

Our almost daily routine there was to get a huge cup of bubble tea to start the day.
Passing through the hustle and bustle of ximending streets to reach 50 lan.


California Fitness


Just like KOI, waiting for our drinks.


Satisfied girls.

We took the train to Taipei Main Station before changing to the other line,
and conveniently, it was only a couple of stops to reach Zhong Xiao Fu Xing from there.

 

This place is known for all the high-class shopping malls,
such as the SOGO (which is like Singapore's Takashimaya),
and accompanied by restaurants and shops.


Walking towards SOGO
 

We took the outdoor route than the underpass to see the streets.


Hang Ten looks real classy there.


Spotted SOGO!


The only picture i have of the inside of SOGO.
Was informed that pictures are not allowed there,
and well, it looks just like Takashimaya,
but there are a couple of brands which are not available in Singapore like Jill Stuart Cosmetics.
 

Chanel, no girls will ever reject Chanel.

We decided to have a good lunch instead of street food this very day,
and settled at Ding Tai Feng after hearing that it is way better than Singapore's.


 


 


 

 
Food was good but I think that the standard of theirs and Singapore's is comparable,
not much difference but price was quite worth it given the amount of dishes we ordered.
NT 1041 = SGD 45 for the three of us.


We went over to TAI DA, which is the place where the Tai Da University is located at.
It is known for the place where all the students go for shopping and hang out after school!
 

Bicycles (and motorcycles), definitely the most common mode(s) of transport.


Heading over to the traffic junction to cross over.

We didn't spend much time there as what we saw there were available everywhere,
such as the night markets and all.

So we decided to  hop over to the Shi Da Night Market instead,
since night markets are one of the highlights of Taiwan.
We reached and this was the first shop we saw, looking good..

 
but prices of clothes are exorbitant! Way too expensive. -.-

 
Walking into the main part of the streets
 

weeee, here comes the shopping and food spreee

I would say this night market has more guy stuff,
and shawn bought a lot more shoes, berms and tops here.
While waiting for Shawn…

<3

Our dinner for the night.

all the barbeque and fried food,
some tasted good but in overall, not one of the best bbq food though.


Something like ice kachang,
but its filled with two choices of our fillings, nata de coco, and pearls. :)

And it was home sweet home.

    Hey ABC, stop complaining you idiot, the pictures don’t take a long time to load, at least in my computer. Consider upgrading your broadband or what can? Instead of sounding so irritated. Beatrice has kindly spend her time to upload all these pictures for us! So quit ordering her what to do! You think she doesn’t need to spend money on upgrading to this domain? She just want to make it easier for us readers to reach her can you see?
