TW trip Day 1

2011-11-26T21:37:00.005+08:00

Wahahaha...
Have been looking forward to my Taiwan trip and here we are! (And we're back to Sg now)
Our flight (Jetstar) was on 24th September 2011 (Sat), at 7.10am.
Both Kiwi & I couldn't have a good sleep on Fri night cos we scare we will over slept.
Luckily we managed to wake up and caught the flight on time.
When we arrived Taiwan Taoyuan Airport, transport to hotel was provided by our bridal shop, Cannes.
This is our 2nd trip to Taiwan, but we still feel excited althot the first trip was in 2009, not long ago.

The driver drove us to the bridal shop, we were brought to Kodak Hotel by the Sales.

The hotel is not far away from the shop.

The room is small but cosy!

After checked in, we left our luggages in the hotel, and rushed to the Kee Lung Miao Kou Night Market 基隆庙口夜市.

The night market is so crowded. And there are so many food stalls, restaurants & shops!

After a few days travelling between hotel & the shop, we are "expert" now!
We even explored places like few streets away during those few days!

What I like most in Taiwan is there are many many convenient stores!

I love Family Mart most!

Settled our late lunch & dinner at the night market!

We had 卤味、烧烤、烤鹌鹑蛋、猪血糕、山猪肉、海鲜、营养三明治、一口吃香肠、水煎包、面线, etc...

Missing the food there~

& then... Back to hotel.

There are so many channels to watch!

I watched until Kiwi rushed me to bed as we have to wake up early for the next day prog which is to 九份!

Lunch by Kiwi

2011-11-26T21:22:00.005+08:00

Watched few nights ago, Kiwi was tempted to cook for me!

& he did it today!

He knows I love potato, he deep-fried potato and made burger (pork only, no beef) for me!

He has been busying for the whole morning.

And he is a good boy that he cleaned up the kitchen w/o asking for my help.

Thanks for the effort!

Prawns (his specialty)

My favorite Potato balls!!

Hamburger!!!

Finally can have my lunch!!! I skipped breakfast for this meal, OK!!!!

We are too lazy to do the washing, so use the disposable plates.

Wahahahahaha...

人算不如天算啊

2011-08-14T20:36:00.003+08:00

I feel lost and upset.

There are only 2 reasons why I am still here:

But now... Everything has changed.

所谓“人算不如天算”，我深深体会中～

2. Using the upper rack of rice cooker, place broccoli florets and sliced potatoes. Be sure to leave some of the air vent open. If you don’t have an upper rack, you can steam them separately. Cook the rice mixture prepared in step 1 together with the upper rack of vegetables in the rice cooker.

4. Then add in the cut sausages and corn nibblets.

6. Portion out the rice into oven-safe baking dishes (you can also use disposable aluminium tray) until slightly more than half the depth of the dish.

7. Smear some mushroom soup sauce or Japanese mayonnaise (using mayo here) on top of the rice (or you can mix it earlier with the rice in step 5).

8. Arrange steamed potato slices on top.

9. Top with a layer of shredded cheese. Baked in a pre-heated oven at 200C (392F) for about 20-25 minutes, or until all the cheese has melted and is very slightly browned.

菠菜煎蛋卷

2011-05-08T16:14:00.002+08:00

材料:

橄榄油11/2茶匙，

蘑菇115克，切片（约3/4杯），

调味西红柿酱1罐（227克），

大鸡蛋白4个，

大鸡蛋1个，

黑胡椒粉1/4茶匙，

小洋葱1个，剁碎，

袋装嫩菠菜叶140克，汆烫后切碎，

盐1/4茶匙，

磨碎的帕尔马（Parmesan）奶酪2茶匙

菠菜煎蛋卷做法:

1.取一小锅，用中大火加热1/2茶匙橄榄油。加入蘑菇，煮4分钟，至变软。烹煮期间搅拌一次即可。加入西红柿酱，小火炖煮约5分钟，至酱汁变稠。熄火，盖好锅盖备用。
2.蛋白、鸡蛋和胡椒粉放入碗中打散，混合均匀。
3.取一大煎锅，中火加热剩余的橄榄油。放入洋葱，翻炒4分钟，至洋葱变软。拌入菠菜和盐，煮至蔬菜均匀受热。将一半炒好的菜放入打好的蛋汁，另一半盛起备用。
4.在同一个煎锅内喷一些喷雾油（nonstick cooking spray），中火加热。将菠菜蛋汁倒入锅中，均匀摊开。不要搅拌，煎1分钟，至锅边的蛋汁开始变稠。用薄锅铲沿着锅子边缘铲起凝固的蛋皮，使未熟的蛋汁流到蛋皮底下。重复这个动作，约3分钟，直至蛋卷中心的蛋汁凝固，但不要煎得太熟。

培根菠菜饭团

2011-05-08T15:59:00.002+08:00

材料:

黑、白芝麻 ,菠菜,培根肉,

培根菠菜饭团做法:

1.将黑、白芝麻放入锅中，以小火乾炒至香味溢出

2.菠菜洗净，放入滚水中烫约15秒后，迅速捞起泡入冰开水中再捞起挤去水份并切碎，并加入少许盐、香油，拌匀

3.将米饭、菠菜碎、黑白芝麻、盐，放入盆中混合均匀，即为芝麻菠菜饭
　　
让芝麻菠菜饭更好吃的小撇步
可以在煮米饭时以高汤替代清水、或是放入高汤块、或是昆布同煮这样煮出来的米饭，再拌成芝麻菠菜饭会加更好吃喔^^

将芝麻菠菜饭均分成10等份后，用胶膜(或保鲜袋)包住，

整捏成圆球状再用手整成长形饭糰 (手可以沾点水防沾黏)

将饭糰用培根肉捲起来，放入平底锅中煎至培根金黄微焦后盛起，

用厨房纸巾吸去多余油份，即完成小米桶的贴心建议煎的时候...

锅内不需放油，因为等会培根肉就会释出大量油脂培根饭糰下锅时...

培根肉的收口朝下，用小火慢煎至底部微焦才可以开始翻动饭糰，

这样培根肉就会紧紧的裹住饭糰囉.

Lunar New Year Eve, 2 Feb 2011, Wed

Mary "released" me at 3.30pm,

omelet

2011-01-30T01:09:00.003+08:00

Buy the precooked bacon and keep it in the freezer for special treats like this. Chop up two slices of bacon and crisp it in the omelet pan. Drain the bacon on a paper towel. (Don't wipe out the pan.) Whip up two eggs with a dash of milk and some Spike Seasoning and pour it in the hot pan. Immediately lower heat and cook about 2 minutes, until bottom is barely starting to set. Add crisp bacon and cook 2 minutes more.

While eggs and bacon are cooking, crumble up about 1/4 cup feta cheese (or less if you're not crazy about feta). Add it to omelet, with a tiny bit of sharp cheddar if you want. Cover pan and cook 2-4 minutes more, until cheese is fairly melted.

Using the biggest turner you have, carefully flip one side of omelet over the other. If some cheese and oncooked egg oozes out (which it nearly always does) cook a minute or so more on each side.

土豆煎饼

2011-01-30T00:44:00.002+08:00

简介:
土豆煎饼是韩国人餐桌上最平常不过的小食了，煎好的土豆饼色泽金黄，配着用生抽、苹果醋、白芝麻和细细的香葱花调成的味汁，吃起来十分香甜可口。

材料:
中型土豆2个（约300g），鸡蛋1枚，牛奶80ml，香葱花1汤匙（15g），白砂糖，盐各1茶匙（5g），糯米粉50g，油1汤匙（15ml）

做法:

土豆清洗干净，放入蒸锅中大火隔水蒸至熟透，取出，待凉后剥去皮，用汤匙背压成土豆泥。
鸡蛋在碗中打散后加入牛奶、白砂糖、盐和糯米粉用筷子沿同一方向搅拌均匀，之后加入压好的土豆泥，混合均匀揉成一个大的土豆泥团。
将大的土豆泥团分成同等分量的数个小土豆泥团，并揉成团状。
中火加热平底锅中的油至七成热，将团好的土豆泥团放入锅中（每一个和另一个之间要间隔出一定的距离），然后用铲子轻轻压扁，再向上的一面上撒上一些香葱花。
煎大约2分钟，至底部稍硬后翻至有葱花的一面，继续煎约2分钟即可。

小诀窍:
除了用锅蒸土豆还可以将土豆去皮洗净，切成小块装入保鲜袋内，放入微波炉高火加热6分钟，取出待凉后压成土豆泥，也是省时省力的好办法。

鸡蛋沙拉三明治（Egg Salad Sandwich）

2011-01-30T00:39:00.002+08:00

这道完美的鸡蛋沙拉三明治的秘诀就是恰到好处的胡椒粉和蛋黄酱，也会有人喜欢芥末味的鸡蛋沙拉，总之，你可以根据自己的喜好来调节调料。也许你一年中也做不了几次这种三明治，不如现在尝试着做一点尝尝，这道鸡蛋沙拉三明治非常适合午餐和野餐，也适合作为学生菜和上班族（便当）-鸡蛋沙拉三明治。

[材料]

鸡蛋 6个
切片面包 6片
蛋黄酱 1大匙
胡椒粉少许
盐少许

[做法]

1. 在煮鸡蛋之前，先把鸡蛋放入冷水中浸泡一会儿，再放入冷水锅中煮沸，水开后煮5分钟，关火再焖5分钟，取出剥壳。

2. 取出蛋黄备用，蛋白切小粒与蛋黄放入大碗中，加适量蛋黄酱搅拌均匀，最后再撒点胡椒粉和盐，制成鸡蛋沙拉。

3. 将鸡蛋沙拉抹到面包片上，两片对好，用刀小心切去边，然后切成喜欢的形状即可。

4. 如果想换换口味，可以再做些蔬菜（生菜、黄瓜、番茄）或火腿三明治。

美食雅厨提示：

如果喜欢芥末味的话，鸡蛋沙拉里可以适当的添加点芥末。

煮蛋小窍门：

煮鸡蛋虽然简单，但是想要煮出的鸡蛋完整美观，口感老嫩适度，还是需要一些小诀窍的。下面我们介绍四个煮鸡蛋的小窍门，保证你再也不用为煮不好鸡蛋而发愁。

1、泡水。

在煮鸡蛋之前，最好先把鸡蛋放入冷水中浸泡一会儿，再放入冷水锅中煮沸，这样蛋壳就不易破裂了。当然，这只是保持鸡蛋外形完整的方法之一。

2、火力。

煮鸡蛋时若用大火，容易引起蛋壳内空气急剧膨胀而导致蛋壳爆裂；若使用小火，又延长了煮鸡蛋的时间，而且不容易掌握好蛋的老嫩程度。实践证明，煮鸡蛋以中火最为适宜。

3、时间。

在确定了火力大小之后，只要准确地掌握好了煮蛋时间，就能够随心所欲地控制蛋的老嫩程度。例如，煮软蛋，水开后煮3分钟即可。此时蛋清凝固，蛋黄尚呈流体状；煮溏心蛋，水开后煮5分钟即可。此时蛋清凝固，蛋黄呈稠液状，软嫩滑润；煮硬蛋，水开后煮7分钟即可。此时蛋清凝固，蛋黄干爽。需要注意的是，煮硬蛋时切不可随意延长时间。因为鸡蛋在沸水中煮的时间过长、超过10分钟时，鸡蛋内部会发生一系列化学变化，从而降低鸡蛋的营养价值。

4、搅动。

为了使蛋黄凝固在蛋清的正中间，应在鸡蛋下锅后用手勺不停地顺一个方向搅动，使锅中的水呈漩涡状转动，直至煮熟。至于这是什么原理，想必与物理学上的离心力、向心力有关吧。

咸蛋蒸肉饼 & 梅菜蒸肉餅

2011-01-18T18:46:00.003+08:00

材料：

　　猪肉(6两)、咸蛋黄(4只)

　　腌料：

　　盐(1/3汤匙)、鸡粉(1/4汤匙)、咸蛋清(1只)、生粉(2汤匙)、油(2汤匙)

　　芡汁：

　　清鸡汤(1/2碗)、生粉(1汤匙)、酱油(1/2汤匙)

猪肉剁成泥，加1/3汤匙盐、1/4汤匙鸡粉、1只咸蛋清、2汤匙生粉和2汤匙油拌匀，顺一个方向搅打10分钟，直至肉泥起胶。

把肉饼压成四方块状，切时可分成四小块。

将肉泥放进盘中，拍扁抹匀，压成四方块状，用手指在肉饼上压4个浅坑。

(蒸肉饼的碟子，要先抹上一层油，肉饼蒸好切块时，也容易取出装盘。)

Today is Nicole aka Jiahui's wedding day.

Rosalind and I are invited to attend her wedding dinner.

Yiping couldn't make it last minute.

Missed this chance to celebrate X'mas with Yiping, wasted...

Luckily Rosalind and I have each other...

We were shocked when we realised our table only has 2 of us!

It was so awkward until Lawrence joined our table.

At least there was a guy to accompany us.

Really malu when we were having our food and everyone was staring at us and wondering how are we going to finish the food, etc...

I started to feel excited as mine will be in 2011.

Gonna start to prepare liao!

Back to blog

2010-11-28T22:09:00.007+08:00

Have not been updating this blog since last year!
During this one year, Kiwi & I have moved into our love nest in Bukit Batok.Will post more photo of our nest after early spring cleaning next Sat.
Had a nice catch up with sweet friend, Rosalind at Swensen's @ West Mall last evening.
Feel so good to meet her again.She is always full of energy even though she is always occupied by many programs & activities.
Both she & Jiahui (Nicole) shared & bought me cookies from Cookie Museum,but Jiahui is busy with her wedding preparation so she couldn't join us yesterday.Anyway, thanks for the cookies, taste good and not too sweet at all.

We ordered our ice-cream, fries and coffee and start chatting till 7pm+.
Thomas came to fetch Rosalind after his work.
What a sweet couple:

Kiwi just arrived when the 3 of us were leaving the restaurant.
The 4 of us chatted awhile, and bid goodbye.

There was a booth at West Mall, it is from a Taiwan Bridal Shop, Cannes Wedding 坎城婚纱摄影.
We are attracted by the package they offered and signed up with them immediately.
Going to Taiwan for wedding shoot next year!
I am so excited!!!

摇屁屁-ing

Hacked! All hacked!!!

2009-10-17T23:53:00.005+08:00

Laying kitchen floor tiles next week.
Look forward to see how it's going to transform (>.<)

What we aimed for our nest (^o^)

Still considering which shop to choose...
Mostly will patronize Tropical Bath, a new opened shop selling kitchen and bathroom accessories.
Good service! Good discount too!
The other shop (just opposite) is having promotion, 1 WC bowl + 1 basin = $199.
But Hubby Kiwi doesn't like the design (images = 1st row, pic 2 & 3, from left to right).
He prefers Tropical Bath's products (image = 2nd row).

Spent $89 to book a room at value hotel along Jalan Besar, cos of diarrhea...
Heartache...

Had our dinner at Cafe Cartel (IMM). So full!
I'm so addicted to creamy pasta!!!

Had a simple birthday celebration for Chris with Kim on 2 Oct 2009 (Fri).
Used my camera phone to take picture, only took 2 photos, haven't uploaded yet.

Too much pressure

2009-09-21T16:48:00.006+08:00

I was and still am busying with my work, preparing for my renovation which is going to start on 29-09-2009.
Chose tiles for living room, 2 bathrooms, kitchen with our Renovator, Henry.
He brought us to Hafary @ Balestier last Sun, 13-09-2009.
While we were waiting for Henry, we bumped into Rosalind and her hubby, Thomas!
What a surprise!
They accompanied us and we chit-chatted until Henry called Kiwi.

He recommended us two shops, but we like Hafary only.
Finally chose our ideal tiles, but unfortunately, my ideal wall tiles for MBR bathroom has low stock.

Bo Bian, yesterday I went back to Hafary to re-choose.
I couldn't get something similar to the previous pattern after browsing from 1pm - 4pm+.
So, I forgo my "warm+bright" concept, chose another simple concept one.

After that meetup with my mum, sis, 4th aunt, cousin Siqi and Xiaoyi to Kbox @ Clementi.
Xiaojiu, 1st aunt, 3rd aunt, cousin Meow/Christine, cousin Lynne & cousin Eden suppose joining us... but last min:
1. Xiaojiu+Eden+1st aunt+3rd aunt - got to work.
2. Cousin Meow is preparing for her paper. 加油！
3. Cousin Lynne's bf birthday

Guys, we will catch up again another day!

Used my digicam to take a few pictures only.
The rest are with Xiaoyi & Siqi's digicam.

Mum & 4th aunt

Xiaoyi & Cousin Siqi
Ashley and myself

Last Sat, 12-09-2009, Kim & I were invited to Sharon's house.
She prepared breakfast for us.
Although just a simple one, but we really enjoy eating and chit-chatting.

She is still on her maternity leave, but going back to work in October.
Her princess Yujia is so cute and adorable, her hands are so small...
I'm very emotional, my tears dropped...
My best friend, Sharon...
The 3 of us know one another since pri school.
We never miss one another's important moment...
Now, Sharon is a mother...
Looking at her baby, the feeling is so special, so touching...

Celebrated Yiping's birthday on 09-09-2009 at Jack's Place.

The actual day is on 11-09-2009 and that day is for her to celebrate with her family and close ones.
So we meet up earlier and luckily all of us are available on this special date.
Except for Xiaolin!
She got work last minute.
But nvm, she can celebrate with their usual gang.
We'll catch up for Christina's birthday.

Chatted alot during the meet up although we always msn but not enough...
You guys gotta pity Christina, I'm going to keep disturbing her when I move in my new nest.

Always hear compliments from others, saying Ikea specialty chicken wings and meatballs are yummy and popular.
Finally had the chance to try it at Ikea Alexandra with Kiwi after having movie, The Proposal with colleagues at Vivo.

Really taste great, I mean the chicken wings, not meatballs.
I can't take beef, but from what Kiwi comments, taste nice too!

Recently not much 热情 in taking photo... Maybe because of busying at work and personal issues, I become lazy...
And most of the photos are taken by Kiwi's iPhone.
He hasn't uploaded to pc yet.
So I can only blog those pictures which are taken by my digicam...

Under too much pressure recently... work, renovation, "keys", people...
Luckily last Sun bumped into Rosalind and Thomas.
They gave me alot of positive encouragement.
Rosalind, shall meet you & Nicole soon!
Need consultation from you again...

Hope when renovation starts, I can focus on it and turn my nest to a cozy, lovely home...
But it is so different from my original concept now...

A date with Xiaoyi

2009-08-15T23:35:00.002+08:00

Many of my close ones know I love Hokkien mee, especially the one at Bt Batok which is very near to my new nest!
Xiaoyi brought me to her bf's family's stall at Chong Pang.
We tried his parents' Hokkien Mee and White Carrot Cake.
I prefer their carrot cake, crispy and nice!

After our brunch, Xiaoyi & I went to Sembawang Shopping Centre to walk walk.
I sms-ed Xiuhui who stays nearby: "Hi! I'm at Sembawang SC now!"
She replied: "Nothing much to shop hor?"
Indeed...
We shopped at Daiso & Giant, bought something for ourselves and family.
Hee... Bought a pair of Badminton racket which costs $2 only.
It's for my brother.
We are going to have badminton session next Sat.

Then we back to North Point.
Walked around at the new extension, and had dinner at The Breeks.
Service ichiban, but food... urgh... soup is cold too...

Then went to Xiaoyi's house, watched Drop Dead Diva series online.
Well well well... I seldom blog now because I'm busying watching series, movies online.
So many to catch!!!

The last 2 weekends~

2009-08-02T10:40:00.001+08:00

Yesterday was a tiring day...
Went to meet Alan to settle my new nest window in the morning with Hubby Kiwi and paid deposit.
Then rushed to office to check some emails.
Teri was there!
"Jamie, don't you know I work 5 & 1/2 day?" Teri jokes.
Poor colleagues in Finance... They always work till so late and even have to come back in weekends.

Then took cab back to meet Hubby Kiwi and we went to Tampines One to meet Fiona!
Had our brunch at BBQ Chicken!

Went to Orchard ION to hang around and collected my ring.

Got 12 free movie tickets cos of credit card at The Cathay and enjoyed THE HANGOVER too.
Nice!!! Guys sure LOVE this movie!
& had our dinner at basement Tw cuisine.

Last Sat Hubby Kiwi and I went to Singapore Expo (settled our laminated floor for 3 bedrooms and main door grille) and Causeway Point to have our dinner.

PASTAMANIA!!! I'm addicted to creamy pasta after my TW trip.

Then we went to visit Simon & Rachel.
Their nest is so cosy and lovely!
So the next day, Hubby Kiwi and I decided to engage their contractor, Henry!!!
Renovation will start after lunar 7th month.

MIL & DIL are more gan jiong than us.
They even asked us out after work, they wanna buy hob and hood for us.
But the sales advises them to buy when the renovation begins.

* Congrats to Simon & Rachel! Lil' Simon really resembles Simon alot!*

20 - 23 June 2009: Taipei Trip

2009-07-05T19:56:00.006+08:00

This morning went to Yishun to return Xiaoyi the luggages we borrowed.
And then dashed to Guilin restaurant to attend Ting and Francis's precious baby girl's 满月酒.
She has big and beautiful eyes...
She resembles my dear friend, Ting...

**************************************************************

Ever since we know that Namie is going to have a concert in Taipei,
Kiwi and I decided to "fly" to Taipei to watch her concert.
We die die MUST watch her concert LIVE at least ONCE in the lifetime.

My sis, Ashley joined us too.
The 3 of us idolize Namie Amuro since 1996.
Those who know us, all are aware that we are Namie's followers - Amuroers.
(So does my ex bf, he loves Namie too. Hee...)

Day 1, we were taking Jetstar. 1.20pm flight.

Before that, we had our brunch at Changi Airport Terminal 1.

Reached Taipei at 6pm+. Arrived at our hotel (Keyman's Hotel 怀宁旅店) at 7pm+.

After checked in, settled our luggage, we headed to Shilin Night Market (士林夜市).
Bought our MRT card (悠游卡) at Taipei main station,
followed our map provided by Xiaoyi to the destination.

As that day was Saturday, there was crowded.
(Or is there always crowded? No idea...)

How can we miss the famous 豪大鸡排?
The queue was long, but we did not wait too long.
Taste yummy and the portion is BIG!

Hubby Kiwi wanna try 大肠包小肠.
Hee... Bro Kenji asked me to buy for him when I'm back.
C'mon, Xiaodidi... It's impossible lor!
My bro loves Taiwan sausage.

I'm not a 珍珠奶茶 lover... I never try before.
But in Taipei, it was so difficult to find a common soft drink.
So no choice, I tried 仙草奶冻.
Oh! I definitely will try 珍珠奶茶 again in future!

臭豆腐！！！
The dish which I wanna try for soooooooooo long!
And it was a disappointment...
YUCKS!!!

Day 2...
Hubby Kiwi unwell...
Rest in hotel...
I accompanied Sis Ashley to 五分埔.
A place where most of the women can shop till they SIAO.
But for me... not enjoyable at all.
(Partly because can't find my size)
Even Ashley said not nice to shop too.
But the shoes there are nice.
Ashley bought several pairs from a shop there.

After that, we back to hotel as we were worried for Kiwi.
He was unwell, yet he sneaked out to 台北小巨蛋 to queue for Namie's 周边商品.
He bought keychains for himself and Ashley, 环保袋 for me.
Towels are out of stock, as it was the 2nd day of the concert...

After shopping at 五分埔, Ashley and I bought 台湾便当 at the shop near our hotel.
YUMMY and CHEAP!

Kiwi and us meet at our hotel room.

Wawa WA!
Where were we???
Taipei Arena!!!

The crew forbid us to take photo, they were so strict.
But Ashley manage to take a few before the concert starts.

It was FULL house!!!
Can't resist our Namie Amuro...
She is the BEST!!!
Jolin? Ayumi? Koda Kumi? 闪一边凉快去！

Ashley and I burst into tears when we saw Namie appeared on the stage.
It might sound stupid to most of you.
But we couldn't control ourselves, our tears...
It was our dream when we were younger, and we finally made it.
We finally see her in REAL life...
Although there is a distance, but we can still see her clearly.

Video clip about her Taipei concert:

After the concert, we went to 诚品书店.
Silly us, we thought there's only ONE Eslite in Taiwan and its operating hours is 24 hours.
But the one we went is not 24 hours.
It closes at 12 mn.
When we were there, almost 11.45pm!!!
SHIT!

Day 3.
We went to analyse our Chinese name =)
This is Chen Shifu.

We had our brunch at a restaurant in 台北火车站 which was recommended by Chen Shifu.
Oh! Their 虾仁炒饭 is great!

And then... 西门町！
Of course we won't miss the popular 阿宗面线.
Nice! Worth to try.

西门町 is something like our Bugis. Things are not cheap, around the same as Singapore.
We did not buy much things from there.
Except some small gifts for our friends.
Kiwi and I went to their 漫画大王 to have a rest while Ashley still continuing her SHOPPING.

After that we went to Taipei 101 to buy snacks for our friends and relatives.
We were too exhausted to take pictures at that time.

Then we back to hotel to put our things, and went to Shilin Night Market AGAIN!
YES!!! Ashley and I LOVE Shilin!!!
We find that it is a better place to shop for clothes and food than 五分埔.

Had our supper at this italian restaurant.
Why not Taiwan 小吃?
Cos the set meal is CHEAP!
Soup+Main course+Drink = NT200 ONLY!
And it is yummy! Can fight with Ma-Maison!

Day 4 - Last Day... =(
We went to 新光三越 to shop.
And had our brunch at a restaurant near our hotel.
(Gosh! There are so many restaurants near our hotel!)

Of course MUST 吃冰 too!

Then we headed to 桃园机场.
Had our last meal there too...

I'm missing Taiwan now...
I'll be there again...

Xiaoyi is going with her friend in end of July.
This morning she told me she is going in Oct too, with another friend.

ENVY!

Xiuhui's BIG day, 26 June 2009 - Daytime

But he's fully booked till next year...

You may get clearer photo from here.

Ugly side of modelling career

2009-06-12T12:44:00.001+08:00

Picture Me from COACD on Vimeo.

Over the course of five years, Sara Ziff snuck her ex-boyfriend Ole Schell into fashion shows, shoots, and parties so that he could film "without other people realizing it." Sometimes he got thrown out, but they were able to collection hundreds of hours of footage along the way, which they edited down to produce Ziff's documentary, Picture Me, which exposes the dirty underbelly of modeling.

In it, the stories are hardly pretty. Ziff told the Guardian about a 16-year-old model who complained to her agency when a 45-year-old photographer made a pass at her: "Her agency said she should have slept with him." She captures another model talking about how weight is approached: "In castings, people have slapped my thigh, and I'm not in any sense overweight, I never have been. I've been the same weight for a long time, but they'll slap your butt and be like 'Oooh, fat' in Italian or in French. 'It's too big here.'"

Ziff, who started modeling at 14 and surpassed her father's income by the time she was 20, relates a story about her third casting ever:

We had to go in one by one. The photographer said he wanted to see me without my shirt on. Then he told me that it was still hard to imagine me for the story so could I take my trousers off. I was standing there in a pair of Mickey Mouse knickers and a sports bra. I didn't even have breasts yet. 'We might need to see you without your bra,' he told me. It was like he was a shark circling me, walking around and around, looking me up and down without saying anything. I did what he told me to. I was just eager to be liked and get the job. I didn't know any better.
Ziff filmed an interview with a model who was sexually assaulted by one of fashion's top photographers at a photoshoot in Paris, but the interview didn't make Picture Me's final cut because the day before the film's New York premiere, the 16-year-old model backed out, fearful of the repercussions. The Guardian reports the girl's experience, as told by Ziff:

She has very little experience of modelling and is unaccompanied by her agency or parents. She leaves the studio to go to the bathroom and meets the photographer — 'a very, very famous photographer, probably one of the world's top names', according to Ziff — in the hallway. He starts fiddling with her clothes. 'But you're used to this,' says Ziff. 'People touch you all the time. Your collar, or your breasts. It's not strange to be handled like that.' Then suddenly he puts his hands between her legs and sexually assaults her. 'She has no experience of boys, she hasn't even been kissed,' says Ziff. 'She was so shocked she just stood there and didn't say anything. He just looked at her and walked away and they did the rest of the shoot. And she never told anyone.'
Unfortunately, stories like these seem to be a theme among all the footage Ziff has captured. The film features an interview with another model, Sena Cech, who talks about a casting with a top photographer who asked her to take off her clothes:

She does as instructed and takes off her clothes. Then the photographer starts undressing as well. 'Baby — can you do something a little sexy,' he tells her. The photographer's assistant, who is watching, eggs her on . . . The famous photographer demands to be touched sexually. 'Sena — can you grab his cock and twist it real hard,' his assistant tells her. 'He likes it when you squeeze it real hard and twist it.' 'I did it,' she shrugs, looking into the video camera. 'But later I didn't feel good about it.'
The film is still touring the festival circuit — most recently, it picked up the audience award for Best Picture at the Milan International Film Festival. The Guardian deems it "one of the best films about the world of modelling and an honest portrayal of an industry built on artifice." The trailer can be seen above.

Silly me... I know you might not be reading this entry.
The only purpose for you to visit my blog is to link to other pretty female bloggers.
But... I still wanna voice out...

默言的一天嗎　能為我講一堆笑話
睡前的每一吻　讓我想一想你吧
為我畫的畫　若掛在家中好看嗎
若我想看落霞　直到天黑不說話
陪我坐通宵天光不怕累嗎

能全部記起　過去每一刻的優美
沿路就和你　看清楚以後細味
年和月計起以往　每一分一秒全寫進日記
全賴你　與我創造浪漫世紀

我有著你　任何地方都有力氣
你令我任何事都撐得起
歡喜與悲　全部刻骨銘記
挽著我也是你手臂

感激因你　未來日子依靠著你
你就似養份與空氣
來日記起　再說到下世紀
也依然記得起　多得你

能全部記起　過去每一刻的優美

你令我任何事都撐得起
歡喜與悲　全部刻骨銘記
挽著我也是你手臂

感激因你　未來日子依靠著你
你就似養份與空氣
來日記起　再說到下世紀
也依然記得起　多得你
有你的一個熱吻
令我不需要擔心　愛你不需要原因

我有著你　任何地方都有力氣
你令我任何事都撐得起
歡喜與悲　全部刻骨銘記
挽著我也是你手臂

感激因你　未來日子依靠著你
你就似養份與空氣
來日記起　再說到下世紀
我依然記得起　都因你

2009-01-18T22:42:00.008+08:00

Meet Kiwi at 10am after his gym yesterday. We are going to watch Ong Bak 2 at West Mall. He booked a pair of movie tickets and we are catching it at 11am. Before that, we have our breakfast at Burger King.

I was sooooo sleepy, as I have been OT'ing almost everyday.
The last night I worked until 11pm! Almost everyday reached home at 10pm+. Poor me...

Mary and I have so much work to do. She has family, yet she also stay till so late everyday, how can I knock off at 5.30pm, leaving her there?

By the way, Ong Bak 2 is really nice! I definitely will support its part 3.

After the movie, we took bus 61 to Queensway Shopping center.
Kiwi wanna buy shoes for CNY and jogging.
I have been craving for the Katong Laksa, since we were there, how can I miss it???

Kiwi got his CNY shoe at Queensway SC, then we proceed to Warehouse Sale which is along Alexandra Road.
And he got his shoe for jogging there too.
He bought at $127, then we went to Jurong Point,
he checked the price at Jurong Point, it costs $202!!!
The difference is so big!!!

Shopping around at Jurong Point, bought a wallet and small bag for myself,
chocolate bar mirror and comb for youngest sis.
Wanna buy a watch for Ashley, called her and told her the design, she said no need, she doesn't want a watch.
Nvm, will get her something she likes one day.

Have our dinner at Ding Tai Feng!

When we were in the train, on our way home, I spotted a girl's handphone.
The design is so nice.
Both Kiwi and I keep bio-ing at her hp and realise its brand is LG.
When I reached home, I hurried online and check for its model.
Finally I found it!
It is the LG KF350 Ice-Cream Phone!!!
I know it! As I saw it from a TW magazine before.
Never thought that S'pore has already imported this model since last year.

The next day which is this morning, I dragged Kiwi to handphone shop to trade in my current handphone and buy Vanilla ice-cream phone at $188!
Yeah! Watch its Advertisement which is casted by sweetie Kim Tae Hee!
Love this song!

嘻嘻…今天要来个 Double Date 哟！
我和 Kiwi 约了 Ms. Kim 和 Jiawen 一块儿到 The Cathay 观赏《赤壁2》。
由于他们强力推荐 Aston Specialty，于是我们决定在那儿解决我们早、午餐。

Double Date!
红 VS 黑

Yummy Food!

电影还不错。
Kiwi 对此片有满多意见的。
例如情节不对、不符三国之类…

散场后，我们就各走各的（嘻嘻…）。
Kim 约了家人。
Jiawen 也有事要办。
有机会再一块儿吃饭、看电影哟！

Kiwi 陪我到 Kinokuniya 购买我预定的制作娃娃书籍。

好兴奋哦！
原来只有日文版，我本以为没机会拥有这本书了。
没想到…
套用一名网友的话，“不知哪儿位佛心，把它翻译成中文。”
当我一知道有中文版，我立即打电话给 Kinokuniya 查询。
结果真的有喔！
真是无限感恩呐。

何时才能拥有属于自己的娃娃呢？

之后再到 Funan IT Mall 买电脑。
难得的礼拜六就这样没了…

Poy, a Thai, changing sex at the age of 17, enjoyed high reputation in Thailand since winning Miss Tiffany Competition (some sort of tranny beauty contest).

She felt disgusted of her ‘male organ’, so at the age of 17, she went for the sex change surgery and since that, she felt as if she is a new born.

一开始的时候,我很害怕做手术,我质询过外科医生很多次,并且查阅了很多这方面的资料,最终才决定我要成为一个真正的女人.做手术的时候真的很疼,不过当想想我变成女人之后的那种高兴的心情,对比之下还是非常值得的。”
At the beginning, she is afraid of the operation, but after going through a lot of doctor’s counseling and searching through info related to the operation, finally she decided to go ahead with the operation.

我想‘婚’了~
My ideal wedding procedures:

早上— 新郎来接新娘（Next to his block）。

依照惯例，新郎必需通过一群‘天使’的考验，才能‘破’门而入。

接着掀头纱、把手花交给新娘，然后献上一个温馨的吻（蜻蜓点水式，不好弄花我的妆）。

跟着当然是和家人、‘兄弟姐妹团’合照。

10.30am 包小巴和家人、‘兄弟姐妹团’向仪式场地出发！

接着迎接亲友入席。

在大家的祝福下，完成我们对彼此的宣誓、承诺 (Solemnisation)。

向双方家长、长辈敬茶。

12pm, 上菜！

拍照拍照拍照拍照拍照拍照拍照拍照拍照拍照拍照拍照拍照拍照拍照拍照拍照!!!

2.30pm 恭送前来祝贺的亲友。

回家卸妆、梳洗，乘搭飞机，飞往台湾/东京度蜜月去！！！

只要工作有着落、再存多一点，就能够实现了！

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

什么事都憋在心里，别人怎么了解你？
你又了解别人多少？
你给别人机会了解过你吗？
或许你不稀罕，如果是的话，就别期待、指望别人懂你。

别把自己形容成一个受害者。
别人的痛就不是痛吗？

我不想再猜测。你能主动些吗？

至某人：
别自以为是。
Without $$$, you're NOTHING!
