Taiwan Temple Trip.

Hey all, back to update liao. Sorry for the delays in post. HeHe.=X

Okies... next one. I went to Taiwan on the 29th of November. Flight was in the afternoon at around 1. Thats great cause i don't have to rush to do things. Boarded the flight at aroung 1.10 and Taiwan here i come!!! The duration of the flight was about 4 hours 30 mins. Started playing monopoly deal with my bro. Eventually became bored and went to sleep. Woke up to realize that my dad and bro was watching Ice Age 3 on their phone. Haiz... watch that already. Since i was left out, meaning in my own world. manage to swap seat with my cousin who wanted to watch it too. YES!!! Now i was able to talk to 2 of my other cousins.

Me with one of my cousin=)

Feeling bored so took a photo of the outside=)

We reached Taiwan airport at about 5.30 and then boarded a shuttle bus to the temple patron housing. Got there at about 6.30 and it was very dark. I actually thought it as like 8pm at night already. After we checked in and settled our rooms keys we headed to the nearby famous Beef La Mian restaurant. Yummm Yummm XD, a nice bowl to warm your body. By the way the temperature outside was like 16 degrees. After dinner I went back with my room to unpack and get ready for the next day while my parents went to see what they can get for tmr breakfast. At about 12, everyone was asleep though the youth stayed up a little later=X

Our room!

My room mates and i woke up about 6.30 to get ready to go to the temple. My dad bought breakfast from a stall just beside where we stayed.


At about 8.15, we all gathered outside the temple for a group photo including those that stayed at the hotel. We finish the temple work at about 10am. The adults had other sessions to do till 12 so the youth left first and explored the place. Oh the youth had their own group photo too.

After lunch at around 2.30, we had a fireside with the Temple President. It was a very spiritual moment for me. Learned a lot from the things he shared with us. At around 4.30 pm, we went back to the Patron housing to change. We were going to Xi Men Ting. Its a night market btw=) There was like so many shops there!!!=) Wanted to buy lots of stuff but sadly did not bring much money. We passed by many clothing shops but ended up eating more than shopping. I saw this really cute banana stuff toy that i wanted to get for my cousin's B'day but not sure why did not purchase it in the end=X sry YY. Here's a few photos of the food and areas there.

Okies... Here's what we ate. Fried Oyster omellete, Yam cake, Some huge Dumpling, Ice cream, Corn Dog and a lot of other stuff!!! Before we left, i Bought donuts with ethan at Mr donut!!!. So NICE!!! miss it lots. The other youth went to get some Jacket from Baleno. In the end we left the place at about 8.30 - 9pm.

We took the MRT back but decided to stop at an earlier stop to walk back to the Patron Housing as we thought it would be a shorter route. Crap!!! we took almost an hour trying to find our way back. We snap some photos on the way back.

3 Storey Mac Donald!!! 1st time i've seen such a thing.

Neal got even so tired that he fell asleep taking a photo=)

When we finally reach the Patron housing, my Dad wanted to go to the supermart to buy a big bottle of juice. So Neal Ethan and I followed and walk for another 15 mins to the super mart. My feet was so soar by then. Bought lots of snacks besides the Juice X)

We finally could return back to our Patron housing. Hahas=) i was all ready to get into bed!!! In the end we played monopoly deal for like an hour to about 12 before we slept=) I so love it here=)

Next day on next post=) ... or not sry about the delay hehex)

~Another Sad moment~

Today is just like the same as last tuesday. One gone, now another. Its just too fast. I did not realized that she was leaving so soon. I always thought that it was still far away. Then on Fri after i came back from my Cousins B'day, I found out. Immediately I tried to find some day before tuesday that i can spend some time with her. OH NO!!! SAD SAD SAD ;( Don't have. Felt so bad. This whole year have not really gone out with her for long long.

She has really been very good and kind and funny and thoughtful and caring and silly and crazy=P and loving and cute. Oh how i would miss the times we had together last year where we went shopping together. I still remember going into shops and trying on clothes then staring at the mirror and feeling satisfied for just that few minutes before puuting back onto the shelf as the price was like WOW!!! HAHA!!! Will really miss Shopping with YOU^^ Will really miss eating all those small little food from those small shops. Will miss Watching lotsa movies with you.

Oh i love You so much. I wish i could have spent more time with ya. Wish you a safe Journey to Hawaii. Hope everything will be smooth for you there. Hope you won't get into any trouble. Haha. Trouble meaning Michael being angry at you if you 4get him. HAHA JOKING=) OH i LOVE YOU so much!!! have nvr come round saying that to you. But I'm going to say it here. I LOVE YOU SISTA!^^ You will always have a special place in my heart. I WILL MISS YOU LOTS LOTS;) oh I'm going to cry. sob sob sob. I miss you already;) MUACKS^^

SAD

I'm going to miss my BRO DEARLY!!! so sad!!! He is leaving tmr morning and won't be back for 2 years. Did not expect this day to come so fast. Wish i could spend more time with him. But my fault that i did not make time. HAIZ!!! JC LIFE takes away quality time spent with FRIENDS and FAMILIES.

Anyway, on Fri went to watch GI JOE with him. It was so COOL!!! We were suppose to watch UP after that. But i Guess that it was quite late already. So we decided to go eat at MAYIM, a Chinese Dim Sum Restaurant. My main purpose was to eat Dim Sum but when we entered the restaurant and look at the menu, we realized that DIM SUM ands at 5. SadX( So we left the restaurant and went to opp Beauty world Plaza to eat at a chinese Restaurant. The food was quite nice. Oh we walk like up and down to see which restaurant we should eat at. Finally my dad chose. HAHA I was so anxious to play pool after that. Wanted to play with him for a long time. But only manage to come round to it on FRI. It was about 9.30 when we started playing.

Aw it was like so slow. We took quite long for 1 game. I did not play well also. Not sure why. SAD Played a total of 4 games. After which we had to leave to pick up my bro kenneth who is currently on the army. I miss lots too as i only see him on weekends as that is the time when he is allowed out of camp. Overall i had a great time^^

Next morning my family went Bowling at CDANS bowl. YAY!!! finally could play bowling. Loved it lots. I did pretty well with my final score 126. HAHA... I can hook 2 directions. so PRo right!!! =X no lah. My bro thrash me with a number of strikes and spares. Like his bowling as it is quite consistent. Oh and Spencer my will miss alot bro bowls like he wants to create a hole in the machine. Man!!! he throws the Ball super hard. Not sure where he gets the strength to do that. He had a number of stikes and spares too. But My sister bowled like some GU NIANG. She throw the ball so soft. ok Maybe no a throw. she rolls the ball and lets it move like a tran on 1 KM per HOur. She is actually a very Good Bowler. But i guess she wanted to let me win!!! THank YOu. Kenneth bowled well too. Though he took some time to get into the mood. Oh not forgetting my dad. A natural bowler. I guess its because of he uses his left hand. haha. No lah,

OKies had to leave the place after 2 games as my sis had a party to go to, I needed to go for my Flight school, Dad needed to but some food for the party, Spencer needed to go buy some stuff for his mission and Kenneth needed to go home to get a lot of rest as he slept only 2 HOURS this whole 5 days!!! MAN!!! thats like insane. I don't even think i can last that long without sleeping. i Still remember during night cycling, I dozed off in the middle of sycling on the pavement. haha. I crashed into the fence on my left which woke me up. It was nothing serious, Dennis did the same. HAHA> see JC life is more tiring then Army life. No lah. I'm just Joking. Ok back to where i was. John followed bobbie to the party.

After my flight school, reach home at about 5.30-6. We later went to eat at the hawker below my house. That was at about 7.15 By the time we settled down and ordered the food, it was about 7.30. This meal was suppose to be a happy and enjoying one where everyone talk and chat over dinner. Howver. it did not turn out the way we expected it to be. The food came about 8.20 We were quite unhappy at the time we waited. Then when the food came, we were really unhappy. The vegetables that we ordered was so dry as there was no gravy at all. The dinner ended up with all of us rushing through it and hardly talking at all. The food after that was quite nice though.

Anyways, i'm going to miss my Bro ALOT!!! I Love him^^ So grateful for the many things that he have done for me. So grateful for the patience that he has shown. Wish you all the best on your mission field. Hope that it will be an exciting and enriching experience for you. Always have the spirit to be with you. Trust the lord and PRAY ALWAYS.

I Love You Alot^^ Will Miss you dearly.
