Just gonna write about my 21st, the highlight of August (since I'm busy with assignment and projects and work and church stuff in the whole month).
22 Aug | TZM
Prepared Sien's cake and card with Wendy in the afternoon. First time trying carrot cake and it turned out well! Great time with Assistant Ker, who washed almost everything for me. #thankful #WhatAnAssistantIsFor hehe.
Had our dinner celebration at MU Parlour. Simple and cosy chillax cafe, food was great tbh, but the waiting time was 50min... :( Nevertheless, great evening with my dear tzm. Jess made my pretty customized bunting(card) and SY made the Strawberry Short(cheese)cake as requested from me even though they're busy with school too. Xiexienimen wo zhen de hen xi huan muacks! :D Oh and we had a B&W outfit theme.
So pretty! :D
23 Aug | R4C
Had cell as usual and they surprised me with a tray of cupcakes baked by Roy and I thought he baked it for fun only. Wowww so much effort from a 13yo boi haha.
26 Aug | SIMclique
So Joan, Debz and Sx actually baked a huge cake for me when they don't even bake hahahaha. They decided to call it Nutella & Peanut Butter Mudpie Cake to make it sound nicer. Touched that they find time to do so much for me when we're all chionging our work. Special guest Dor joined us for dinner too! I got a balloonz and it was stressful to bring it around.. Theme for the day: DRESS. Jocelyn so feminine for the first time (in sch).
They were worried that it will taste bad due to the appearance haha, but it was actually nice! :)
27 Aug | Zx & Light cell
Zx planned the whole day so all I had to do was to just listen to him, anyway I kinda guessed his plan but pretended that I didn't know and thought that we're going ecp hehehehe. Set out early and went to USS!!! Super thank God for the good weather(it rained throughout the week), not too hot, and not too crowded too. Took lots of photos, not a lot of photobombs and can take our #actyigemodel shots. Didn't have to wait very long for the rides and the mummy ride was empty in the afternoon. :D Still had so much fun although it's my 2nd visit but with different person different feel HAHA. Received goodie bag and free popcornz cause it's ma birthday! Ok la the goodie bag nothing much. Some pictures to do the talking. We coincidentally wore grey with brown strap backpack oops.
Nutella chocolate cake in jar wow hidden talent.
Penguins tryna block us.
Went to Wheeler's Yard for dinner. Got blindfolded and I knew that I'm gonna see the rest there but zx still trying his best to cover up hahaha got effort. Walked there so stupidly with so many ppl staring at me.... And tada! They were all there. Anyway, food was great, portion very big damn full. Lene baked a mint chocolate cake!
Thankful for everyone who came and waited quite long for us to reach. Thankful to zx who planned with lene and ezra too. And thankful to zx who did so much just to make me happy for the day. Muacks :)
Didn't want any party or big celebration as I don't really like, but all these celebrations and efforts from all were really so much more than what I've imagined. Blessed. So I am 21!
Taiwan trip with Wendy!!
11 Nov - 15 Nov.
Day 1
Departed at 1.15am on Jetstar. The seat is so uncomfortable, can't sleep properly. (I seriously still think that Scoot has the best seat for a budget airline.) We managed to see the night sky with so many stars!!! Too beautiful.. If only I could capture it in my camera.
Reached Taipei, had breakfast in the airport and took bus to KDM hotel.
Our big room shared with my mum! *free accommodation* :D
Went to Ximending and spent the whole afternoon there. Basically we covered the whole xmd, daiso, wan nian building to find Wendy's wwe but don't have, played arcade, and ate in Modern Toilet restaurant and Somebody's Cafe.
Modern Toilet. We ordered a set meal and side to share. How clever of us.
Corn soup (?) which tasted like honeystars.
The popcorn chicken was nice!!!
Curry baked rice.
Somebody's Cafe. Love the interior design!!
Again, we shared hahahaha.
Day 2
Set out to Jiu Fen in the late morning. Supposed to take bus but the journey was too long and we got offered by cab/van ppl so we decided to go with the van since its more comfortable too.
Reached there and it was raining... Damn. And Wendy didn't bring jacket, she's pro enough to survive the cold. All we did was walk and eat and walk and eat in the rain.
Some buttery pastry!
Yam cream puff!
Finally eating icecream popiah again after many years!!
Bused back to Songshan station and we went to Wu Fen Pu straight. The shopping this time round was not as great as my April's trip since it's the cold season now and the clothes were all knit and long sleeves. :( Could only buy those very thin long sleeves top.
Rao He night market next. EAT AND EAT.
Damn nice, wished we bought one more cup that time.
Fav cranberry drink.
In conclusion, all the food damn nice!! HAHA.
Day 3
More relaxed day. Had brunch at a beef noodle stall nearby. THE BEEF DAMN NICE.
Went to Taipei Main Station underground mall to shop. Best place to buy cheap shoes!
Dan Shui next: Eat, play, shop for food.
Played the shoot balloon game and the owner let us take two toys even though our score was kinda far from it. So nice of him!
The sun goes down.
I love sunsets.
Yummmz.
Day 4
To Leofoo Village theme park! Had to take a long bus ride as it was in Hsinchu. The park was still quite empty when we reached there at around 12pm?
We visited the animals area first. Took tram and bus to visit the wild animals up close!!
Fed the goats, horses and alpacas!!!! SO FUNNNN! I really love this kind of animal interactions hahahah. The alpacas were freaking cute. Reminds me of my cingjing trip when we fed the sheeps awww.
AIYO SO CUTEZ!
Went to take the rides. We didn't really have to queue for rides, the most was only 10min? The rides were ok and bearable, not that thrilling. The best was Screaming Condor. It zoomed like the Superman ride in Movieworld, and goes up high and twist, damn fun!! I was so scared and thought my heart couldn't take it but omg it was really awesome!
THIS.IS.AWESOME.
Bought an alpaca soft toy hahahaha it's so cute!!
Back to Taipei and we went shopping at Gong Guan to settle all our presents. And that's our final night.... :(
Day 5
Checked out and took bus to the airport. Had our final meal at the convenience store because we were so broke hahahah.
The end of our short trip. I love Taiwan. T.T

I find joy in all things. :)
