continuation of taipei taipei at last! ha!

anyway after jiu fen, we went back to the hostel to unload our buys..heh..we only wanted to hang ard jiu fen for awhile in the morn but ended up hanging ard much long lo.oops.heh..our plan was to head to shilin night market after the jiu fen shopping but being the night market tt it was, it's sooo not opened in the afternoon.hahah..quite sad ah..lalala...not to worry, we had the undergrd malls to attack!!!! =)))))))) it's like at the mrt station they have a shopping centre lo.tt simple.bit like city link. and the shoes there are pretty cheap la..and they have tons of shoe shops..tons tons tons! we'll really step in..try to hearts content n slowly start to accumulate shoes.hahaha.. the grand total at the end of our trip... 7 pairs of shoes for von..at least 5 pairs for the rest of us..haha..but as of today, i've only wore 4 outta 5 pairs. but not bad le la.had to let my feet rest after blisters..heh..but the ppl in taipei, they happily gave out half insoles when u buy shoes so it's quite cool la.esp if ur feet is my size and can hardly get sizes. so i will get the smallest size n stuff n insole inside lo. =)

after sme bimbotic ramblings, it's time to move on to shilin. ha.. sadly we were so busy shopping we didnt take tt many photos la. i've got one pic of their gigantic fruits! i think the rest of the pics still with yvonne lim jia rui!!!!! who blames late photo sending on samzie who alwiz forgets to bring the camera cable for her. *shakes head* anyway shilin is kinda 'divided' into 2 places. like the food centre n the shopping paradise. so we went ahead for food as we were obviously still early. ohhh..n they stupid thing was..we were taking the mrt..heard this bunch of girls talking abt wanting to go shilin den they stopped at a place one stop before the Shilin MRT station..den we were happily laughing at tt..when we realised we're the ones in the wrong... tt was how stupid can.. -_-''' albeit the little delay, we sorta knew where to eat at n stuff. but but but being the shopping freaks tt we were, we didint eat tt many things in shilin. tried the papaya milk though.. totally hated it cos it was too milky. den koped dunno who's white bittergourd juice instead. tt was pretty tasteless but the after taste was like..wah-lau-bitter! haha .. the white bittergourd is the white corn looking thingie in this pic..n their fruits are generally huger than ours so in the pic..they look alright..tt's cos they're all big..so none of them stands out..
the pic on the right is the famed smelly tofu..omg..it's really smelly..smells like garbage water..taste bit sourish..like really fermented..but we think it's cos of our mindset..but nth could change our minds after nibbling at it.heh..beside tt is the orh lua mee sua..some oyster mee sua..which is yummy n nice though bit small bowl leh.. pout..n in shilin..u'll realise tt u can wrap anything thing up in a bigger version of the original one. eg... da big bao xiao bing..( big biscuit wrap small biscuit) and da chang bao xiao chang ( small sausge in big sausage) ..i so wanted to eat the big sausage one..but it's really v big n oily n no one shares my love for sausages tt much..so i settled for a small one..pout..below is the sausage pic. heh.. tt's the sausages!!! heh..and below is the shell food pic i wanted to show u guys.. i'm craving for food.. so hungry so hungy so hungry!

we gobbled our food n were soon on our way to shopping paradise!!! yay! we stepped into the place n immed zoomed in on this accessory stall. heh..n fell in love with the earrings n necklaces n stuff. they werent tt cheap actually..NT200 or so. hmm..but we still bot it..we are on a shopping trip after all. in shilin u can really see lotsa shoe shops n cap shops lo. like really everywhere. so tempted to buy a cap but it's kinda wasteful cos i wont wear the cap in s'pore la.haha..not poser enuf. heh..but i think i bought my shades there. haha..n since i came back i havent wore it yet..heh..no chance to la.it's singapore leh..n if i go out ..my frens also dont wear shades wad..oh well..ha.. n i bought my dress thingie at shilin! it was quite surprising..cos at first i think the price was like NT 500plus i think. den at first i wanna sha jia till NT500. den the women noe we're frm s'pore den she says she has a fren there n so on n so forth n she say will give discount. i was praying for NT500 n she gave it to me at NT400 only lo..hahah..buy ah!!! hahah...was so happy with tt. but other than tt things at shilin was pretty pricy..and after tt shop we sorta made our way back le..had to catch the last mrt back..i think we ran for the train lo. -_-''' with our bags of shopping. heh.. but i love my dress thingie..! =)
