Taipei Day 5

Again, nothing to do in the morning, had a very late breakfast, then laze ard, and came to Wu Fen Pu wholesale shopping at noon
The shops were only starting to open
No more photos thereafter cos i was really busy shopping

Too tired from shopping,. had to sit down and enjoy a cup of mocha
Then back to shopping again, till i ran out of money, and decided i had to go back to hotel
had instant noodles for dinner and rested..
very fruitful and intensive shopping!!!
Made my day...
On the last day, i woke up at 10am, missed the hotel breakfast.
Went to 7-11 to buy bread and coffee, laze ard, watch TV, listen to music (it has been such a long time since i did all these so leisurely). Then met up with Zr at the airport, bought the same present for mother's day..
Then home sweet home...

Taipei Day 4

last day of conference
I like this booth...

miss my family

Decided to come out for lunch as the lunch provided was really not too appetizing
Walked ard for a little while and back to conference for the closing ceremony

Spent the night at Rao He Night market
Too bad it was raining...

Supposed to be famous
Pple queued up with their umbrellas

T

So did we, luckily queued up in time, as the queue got really long...
This ended up as my dinner
Food no where comparable to Shilin night market
Did little bit of shopping and headed back to hotel as it was still raining

Taipei Day 3

Start of a full day conference.
Proof that i really went to work..

Quite some time left after my lunch, so i walked over to 101



Shopped a little at 101 and the malls ard it



Back to work..

Then off for a 'celebration dinner' after the presentation
Followed up shopping at Xi Men Ding with my colleague

Taipei Day 2

Conference only starts at 2.30pm.
Most of the places are closed in the morning, so i decided to take a slow walk from hotel all the way to Zhong Xiao Dun Hua. The underground shopping mall that links the 2 stations

Shops are just beginning to open...

the few storeys high flagship Uniqlo store

Ended up walking to Zhong Xiao Fu Xing!

Had to end my shopping and come back for conference

Took a cab to Shilin night market right after conference.

A very short queue, so i quickly joined, and soon the queue was unimaginably long...
wanted to try many other things, but being alone, i could only stomach this...
Then it was real shopping thereafter.. too busy for photos...;

Taipei Day 1

ADI conference in Taipei
Stayed at Pacific Business Hotel
A big room again, and too bad Daddy cannot come along..

Was already quite late when we reached our hotel,
hence decided to just have a leisure walk at the night market near our hotel.

Sat down for dinner at the night market as my dear fren of 15 yrs must have a proper dinner with substantial food
Was a little too full to try any street food thereafter.
Did a little shopping at this cosy little night market and went back to rest.

panda pancake

Looks simple enough for the boys.,,
but turned out not too simple haha

But it still turned out all right!
They were delighted with their own products!

brian cannot wait to eat it up!

The "innovative' brandon decided that he must wrap it with eggs to taste nice..

Qoo is addictive

Qoo is addictive...

I gotta stop.. haha

Routine meet up..

Sat meet up at yiyi's house
Same place, same kind of food.. simple and nice
Brian likes going there too as when i mentioned about going, he started to tell me abt the tent with the balls and many other toys.. i have never imagined that something i bought for my nephew so long ago would end up to be one of my son's favourite toy.. very interesting ...

brandon's creation

His island of sodor is getting more scenic now
I am quite impressed that he could come up with new creations each time, and it is getting better, with nicely built bridges, and now even ponds and plants.. All by himself..

Another creation, this time with animals and buildings and trees..

Another one with only benches for pple to sit on, and the rest of the space for Brian's trucks and fire engines to park..

Expressions

Angry

Cute

happy

Angry

Funny..

I think the 2 of them looks very distinct and different now..
Very strange that many pple cannot tell them apart...

Our new Routine

water play at NSRCC has become our new routine
The boys really enjoyed themselves and have been asking us to bring them there every weekend
brandon with his new vest so that he can venture safely into the swimming pool

Brian chilling out..

this time we went with Gong Gong and Por Por who relaxed while we played and shuttled between the water play area and swimming pool... Subsequently ended the day with brandon's favourite egg fried rice at the bowling place...
Our simple life...

Family

brandon's new hobby is to look for mirrors at shopping centers, then get all of us to stand in front of it, and he will shout 'We are family!!!"
