Bright n Sunny Day 1

my bao bei came over bright n early to send me off..ha..even though he will happily yell out tt he was forced..i believe we can ignore tt little fact if it makes me happy..dontcha ALL agree?? =) took linzie's bf's car to the airport..thank God for neighbours! wahhaha..anyway we were all super duper excited and ard half an hr later than our planned time to go airport to check in la.heh..had some BK breakfast and dashed in le. (i saw u turn and walk away but me saw u again at the other 'entrance'..wish i may wish i might i for u to turn ard to see me wave one more time but u didnt..aaccckkk...*gek*) we were so close to being late for boarding..or so we tot..hence we rushed ard and barely had time to enjoy the airport..well, least i got to hop into the DFS and talk a wee bit to my frens there.heh..well, we rushed to boarding gate n realised we were early n THUS.. all those with BFs..made utter full use of...the... FREE telephones in the airport! whee~!!was so happy to be able to talk awhile before boarding.cos i sadly didnt bring my hp along.no roaming, no point. *pout*

when we got on the plane..the feeling was like surreal la.it didnt feel like i was gg to be away frm home n all things familiar.we did try to slp.we wanted to watch like tv or sth.but being the budget airlines..we had no free entertainment. u had to rent portable TVs or pay for a deck of cards or even for food which might not taste gd.ah well..it was down to our resources..3 out of 4 of us actually had a deck of cards can..so lan4 du3.ha! play n play n keep watching von lose..haha..i was trying so hard not to lose cos i hate dealing cards.my hands are like retarded or sth at tt lo. soon, we could like see the outlines of taiwan..we think it is la.heh..cant tell frm up there cos there aint no large signboard yeah?excited excited!!!

we got off and we immed lost.haha..everything was in fan2 ti3 zi4 and we didnt exactly noe wad they wanted.we passed by some ultra corny customs guys -_-''', zipped to the belt where u collect luggage and dahsed out le.den we were lost again.dunno which bus to take n how to go.n so happened tt the tourist info counter and the bus station were at the 2 extreme ends of the airport.-_-''' finally we just went on any ole bus which said they were gg to taipei huo che zhan. tt itself was a prob.cos..our hostel was supposed to be near taipei main station.we werent really sure it's the mrt or the huo che station or wad.heh..anyhow anyhow take lo.we figured it cant be tt far.=) the bus ride was so fun on it's own.we practised our chi by trying to read ALL the signboards of ALL the shops lo..haha..steph like can only read one word..i tot i was not too bad. von n lin more power..due to all those vcds they watch..well, turns out our hostel was inside a shopping centre.on the 13th floor.by the time we reached, we were ready to eat each other and yank our hairs out.trying to check in was a killer actually.we actually have 6 ppl. von,steph,lin me. val and her pal. travel tog but not really tog. it was quite terok. we were expecting a 6bedder rm of our own.den they think we bked 6 beds only.so we ended up in a 8person rm.so we have roomies. den there was the deal abt the hostel fee.gave us all headaches. we were not members, no international student card, no discount.so we have to pay more.tired, cranky n hungry women are not to be trifled with! we kicked up such a huge fuss.till the guy wanted to pay for the extra bit for the membership card or sth.well, it's his fault cos he didnt say after signing membership card we still have to pay extra for sth else.but being still nice n sane ppl, we pay on our own lo.rraahh..when we finally got to our rooms and settled down..it was alr 9plus le. by right, we checked in at 7plus shldve cleared by den.ugh..n our hostel looked quite erm..double decker beds.metal lockers. shared bathroom with another room of 8ppl.with one roomie.ah well..

we just went to dabao cup noodles i think. cos it was late.most shops closed.we also dont exactly noe where to go yet.just walked ard our place. oooh! their cup noodles v super nice! it has real meat in it!chunks.u can see it de oh! not like singapore's miserly noodles tt only has the flavour n not the meat.well, our nite was concluded by playing cards till 3am..haha..kena niam by nx door neighbour for being noisy.oops. =)
