DAY 5 (31 Oct 2007)
Today is our second last day in Taipei and our itinerary today is to visit the Taipei Zoo in the morning and also to take the Maokong Gondola ride (cable car) to a 'dun-know what name' mountain. We also had a very yummy lunch up in the mountain - very 'organic' as the chicken/vegetables are reared/grown by the villagers living in the mountain.
Papa n mummy brought me to the zoo as it was recommended by their colleagues (thanks to Aunties Fion and Jade) who just returned from Taipei not too long ago. Well, it was a good choice cos we enjoyed ourselves tremendously.
Oh, we also did a lot more shopping at 'Shilin' night market as mummy says tonight will be our last nite in Taipei.
Super-models... ...
Anxiously waiting for the cable car.

Victory! Things my papa n mummy bought for me during this trip.
Don't be mistaken! These are not mine. They are for my little sister - so pink, so cute right?
This was an candid shot taken by me while papa n mummy were busy packing our luggage. Mummy particular likes it alot cos it seems rather 'abstract'.
Mummy : Good job, Son.

DAY 4 (30 Oct 2007)
We went shopping at Sogo and had lunch at the famous 'Ding Tai Feng'. The 'Q' was super super long but mummy says it is much more organised compared to Singapore. The Dim Sum was nice!
After lunch, we went to Taipei 101. The weather was terrible today (pouring heavily and thick black clouds were hovering the sky throughout the day - see from our photos), hence we were unable to get to the observatory deck of the tower for the view.
Taipei 101, despite having completed 4 years ago, is still very well-keep. But frankly speaking, I am not too keen to walk around cos there was no 'my-shop' there (i.e. toy shop). So, can anyone guess what did I do there? I had my hours-long afternoon nap there while papa n mummy enjoying their sips of coffees and teas at Maxim.
At night, we went back to 'XiMenTing' cos mummy wanted to do more shopping. Our dinner was at one of those Taiwan's bubble tea cafe with lots of stuff toys there to play with (we didn't know we are not allowed to play and take photos with the toys, sorry....)
Event hall at Sogo.
Scary weather at Taipei 101.

Help! Monster is coming....
Oh dear! My papa got eaten by the monster...
Dun worry, here comes the super-hero...
so much fun, until we were 'asked' not to play with the toys anymore :)

DAY 3 (29 Oct 2007)
After a super-long tiring day yesterday, finally we are on our own 'free n easy tour' from now onwards. Our plan for today is to visit 'TamShui Fisherman's Wharf' - the famous Valentine Bridge ('Qin Ren Qiao') and today is also the 5th ROM's anniversary of my papa n mummy.
The weather has been exceptionally good today (its supposed to be quite wet during this period of time) - very sunny and the breeze was great.
Ha ha, I can fly!

Cool boy deep in thought!

Please, I want........

DAY 2 (28 OCT 07)
We had our 1-day city tour today. Its rather disappointing though. The tour guide was only interested in bringing us HER places that sell those typical things for tourists, like Royal Jelly, Lingzhi, some dun know what precious stone, etc. Mummy was so tired climbing up and down the double-decker coach. We were only given a few minutes (at most 10 minutes) at each sight-seeing location. Papa says we are like little ducks being chase off the coach to take some pics and then chase back to the coach again to the next designation.
Despite all this, the National Museum (Gu Gong) was a nice place.
I can fly!
wat! We just got up the coach not too long ago and now we need to get off AGAIN.

HELLO TAIPEI (Day 1 - 27 OCT 07)
The plane landed at Tao Yuen International Airport shortly after noon. The weather is great, lots of sun but yet still so cooling. Hello Taipei, get ready, here we come.....
My 'lao hero' papa, handsome?
hmmm, the ice coffee is so nice.....
Shhh, do not disturb! Mummy n I busy now. Its shopping time!
All Getting Ready for Taipei (27 Oct 07)
I am soooo excited. We are going to Taipei today. Dun know where is it but is extremely excited cos papa n mummy say we will be taking the aeroplane there. AEROPLANE! That's means I can have my favourite cup noodle again :)
Here's are some of the photos taken at Changi Airport as well as on the plane. (p/s - this is my maiden flight on SQ).
Wow, I am taking the new A380 to Taipei!
Ops, sorry I'm mistaken. Mummy says A380 does not go to Taipei. Angry? No lah, just a bit 'paisei' (anyway I am too young to read the newspapers wat).
Hurray, on the plane finally....
Mummy says I am a very privilege customer. I had my cup noodle shortly after the plane take off, hee hee...
hmmm, I simply love the noodle!
