i'm back!

hello to my tiny space over here! i'm finally back from taipei the cold cold place where i almost dropped my nose and fingers and toes!
i've had lotsa fun over there with those very cool soonae friends and yishiuan's very very very nice and friendly and warm relatives (:
i'm like missing the days over there already....and ofcos, the FOOD! haha i'll update a post here solely on the food i've tried over there and ya, PHOTOS! we took like 900photos at taipei and i think i'll die editing and uploading them onto facebook before updating them here! 900 seems like a lot but then again, not a lot since we were there for a long 13days! couldn't take as much photos as we wanted to since the weather is rainy on our second week there and i could only keep my dslr away from the rain.
anyway, taipei is a lot of fun and i would love to go back if i have the money!
shopping is
♥ but i keep feeling that i haven't shop enough over there yet!
food is ♥ x a million and the people there are ♥ x a billion!
the cooling weather we enjoyed over there is ♥ x a thousand BUT
the extreme weather change is ♥ x a negative billion.

ps: i wanna say a huge THANKYOU to yishiuan's family for the great hospitality!
i feel so happy for yishiuan to have such a warm big family of nice grandparents, parents, aunties, uncles and cousins.

ok back to me being back!
i barely have time to rest myself in my comfy bed that i missed soo much when i was away; and then i'm out to celebrate my 21st birthday.
had a nice buffet dinner with gary at Marina Mandarin Hotel
's Aquamarine Restaurant. dinner was great since its my favourite- buffet! but i didn't eat as much as i usually would maybe because i miss home cooked food and soup! ah, soup: the pumpkin soup with bread crumbs they have there is really nice! haha and so i spent the first minute of my birthday with him.
and then i went out with siying and siping on my birthday where we shopped and splurged our day away since its our birthdays! haha i actually spent $123 in the short 2hours T_T where the best part is we actually planned to go to the botanical garden, which was why we said to meet at orchard first. and since its orchard, we shopped. and no more botanical garden. because its dinner time!
siping actually booked Café Iguana for dinner already and wenting was there early, with the cake; while dear yongbing held 2 "happy 21" colorful balloons waiting for siying and me at the train station for a surprise! its was a huge pleasant surprise for siying and i when we saw yongbing holding the 2 balloons there, at the mrt station, alone!
seriously, THANKYOU yongbing and i can imagine how embarrassed you felt when you bought and brought the balloons from raffles place and held them all the way to clarke quay just for us d: you looked so so cute we don't mind letting you hold the them for the rest of the night, really.
and thankyou siping for planning our day for us; cause the night was crazy. crazy with me screaming my lungs out on the extreme bungy swing and then the reverse bungy ride! i've always wanted to try these rides but didn't really had the chance to since it costs $50 per try. but this time round, thanks to elaine, we got to take these rides for free! erm, haha, all along, i thought, bungy ride, is just another ride. like any other rollercoaster rides or so, that i thought i'd like to just take for fun since i've never taken any other more exciting rides other than rollercoaster. BUT when i'm up there, its real scary and when the swing goes, its O M G fast and the next thing i know is, my heart is in my mouth!
if i were to compare which of the extreme swing or the reverse bungy ride is more exciting and fun....actually, they're both awesome! the view of clarke quay up there (once u've overcome the state of shock from the initial release) is damn damn beautiful! and yup,
we screamed HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY TO SIYING AND ME UP THERE, and SIPING and YONGBING our november babies!
its the 4 of us and the rides. with gary and wenting taking photos and videos for us down there and accompanying us for our day (:
THANKYOU ALL again and you know we've really enjoyed our birthdays with the heart in the mouth 21st birthday experience. -"quotes siying"

dang! its 12am, our birthdays ended but its christmas eve! so the party continues :D
went to the party at keying's house to celebrate christmas and boky's birthday! and, not forgetting the gift exchange thing that was super hilarious....the "recycle your gift" gift exchange thing we had there. boky getting a mini tripod in exchange; tripod?! for what! haha! and siping getting a stack of old CDs and DVDs (that gary don't want) and me getting a whole box of green candles from ruikai T_T i don't want those candles! i'd rather get the Hamtaro Spinning Ferris Wheel gary got from yizhen! hahaha all in all the stuff that we all brought there to exchange are crap! except the part where edmund got a digital camera from tzemin! we were all beaming with envy! a DIGITAL CAMERA among those junky gifts is like a hidden gem!! heehee, gift exchange was fun and getting together with my favourite girls is :D
the way we plan our days....to watch midnight movie after the christmas party....and that its sherlock holmes; is crazy too as the movie is so so great with a lot of cool details in it but, are we tired or are they talking too fast in the show? i think i need to watch it a second time to understand the full story.

yeah so thats what i've been busy with that i haven't posted anything onto here over the whole of december. its 13days of taipei and then birthdays and christmas celebrations this festive season!
and i spent boxing day packing my room and opening up presents (:
