happy new year

Chiak Peng!

I been meaning to blog abt the food here in Taiwan, but because my camera is spoiled... and i am broke to buy a new one... so....

Anyway... ACMM was in Town n she has took some brilliant pics of Taiwan Food... HENCE, I decided to steal those shots to put it in my blog... muahahhaah....

ok ok... the first one... Ginger Duck soup (薑母鴨)

　It's actually a pot of duck soup cooked with lots of ginger and rice wine. The noodle beside is know as "mian sian" (麵線) which is cooked with sesame oil. yum!

We are adding in my favourite ingredients in... duck blood!!! seriously, it taste like toufu... just better!

It taste really good... the concept is like steamboat, just that the soup is very different from the usual ones... its a perfect meal for the cold winter night!

The cutest thing is that u sit on a stool to eat it... can get leg cramp i tell u!!!

2. Snacks from Shilin Market

Ok... to be frank, i'm not a big fan of it... but seems like very tourist have to come n give it a try... i will recommend a few edible one la... but seriously, the shopping at shilin market is way better then its food..

The sausages here are actually quite nice... not bad at all.. i like the spicy flovoured ones..

Don't ask. Just try ok. It looks good anyway...

This is the infamous: Big kueh wrap small kueh (大餅包小餅）seriously, they have to get a shorter name... SOON! it taste alright... but its quite unique... so will recommend it...

This is part 1.. I swear part 2 will come... soon enough...

思念是一种病

39度

昨天病得一塌糊涂，
发烧39度，
差点变白痴了。
然后再昏昏庸庸之间，
发现单身的人，
还真的没有生病的权利。
食物要自己买，
医生要自己看，
连一个帮你拍拍背，
问你有没有好一点的人都没有。
他们总说， 我很挑，说以才会一直找不到男朋友。
可是，我也只是想找一个能在我生病时，帮我拍拍背的人而已啊，
这是太挑了吗？
结果，发烧也好了，
背还是没人拍，
单身最可怕是，当你已习惯单身

to sum it up

Yes, I’m blogging at work now. Because its Monday and I believe that is reason enough.

Weather has been chaotic lately in Taipei. It was reported 10 degree yesterday n now its 21 today -__________- which is why… I think I’m falling sick soon…

Went up to Yang Ming San again with K. If u saw my pervious post, u will know y I love that place so much. And also cause K said that she wanted to roll on the grass… n I needed an open place to read my book (reading Kabul Beauty School by Deborah Rodriguez now. Excellent stuff!). So we packed a picnic mat and burgers and fried noodles and “marinated eggs” (滷蛋) and potato chips…Yes, food is always the motivation for us. HOWEVER, we underestimate the weather up there and end up freezing like chicken in the snow (haha… I know I know… probably the worst description ever). But still… it was nice…(u want to see pics go to my FB la…)

Oh… we went to watch Rugby also at 劍潭. We were invited by CH ( Ch is this Chinese dude from South Africa, when he told me that, I didn’t believe, at least not untill i saw the whole clan… and every time he talks abt South Africa… it reminds me a lot of KL…unsafe, dirty and being a minority... ah... home sweet home). The matches were between South Africa against the rest of the World… haha… I had a good time even though I don’t know anything abt Rugby. We had sausages, wine… and best of all… laughter… haha… (again pls refer to FB for pics… lazy to post here)

But it wasn’t all good too… It was my cousin’s wedding last Sunday in Malaysia n I couldn’t go. It was quite sad because she was one of the closest cousins I have… but anyway… I wish her all the best and happy being a housewife… FYI, I am officially the only NON-MARRIED girl among my peers in my family. Can u imagine the talk we gonna have when I go back for reunion dinner… Great…just great…

Maybe its not a great week after all… I was working till mid night almost everyday… a bomb went off in India… my fren is still stuck in Thailand n cant come back… I still in “crush” with my colleague (which he has absolutely no idea, or at least I hope)… my best fren broke up with a jerk… a jerk from the past came back to hunt me…a 20 year old child tell me that he loves me, and nearly make me puke cause he is same age as my bro (which btw, HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRO!!! LOVE YA!) and I still missing curry…

So brand new week today n my horoscope told me that I will have a great week ahead… oh well… I just got a NT1000 shopping voucher courtesy of my firm for my up coming b’day ( in case anyone forgets… its 14 DECEMBER..hehe...), I suppose my horoscope is quite accurate…

Nonetheless, back to work again… long long week ahead…

AND can u people pls drop me an email n tell me how are u all??? I begging for some love here!
