Post title : Canon S90 + gathering + world cup = loves!
♥ You'll never know the real me.
Yeah~! I finally got a new camera-canon S90! been wanting to buy a new 1 ever since like months ago..my old camera is kinda spoilt..it's not totally unusable anymore,but when i took photos esp during outdoors,there will be ugly and obvious black patches in e photos..it looks as if e sky is turning dark and it's gg to rain..haha..if u go and see my taiwan photos,it's actually quite observable esp in those scenic photos..so now can finally say goodbye to my canon ixus and hello S90~! unless if me and sis got to use camera on e same day..haha..
After talking for months abt changing camera,we finally took action coz of e PC show..we went on friday to have a look at e cameras and e prices..decided to stick to canon coz we thot canon was still e best camera brand among others..we were deciding between S90 and G11 coz both got equally good reviews and they were more reccommended if looking for compacts..tried both at e booth and we cant really decide on e spot which 1 to get..so after much discussion,we decided on S90! actually G11 is slightly better than S90,but G11 is considerably more bulky and heavier,and e weight really puts me off coz i dun like to carry a heavy camera ard..
So we went to e PC show again today to get our S90!! we quickly bought it and escaped from e super packed place..and seriously,i tink it's really worth it to buy it at e PC show! and i thot this PC show is nt as packed as previous times,so i gt a better time walking in e convention hall.. haha..
Yday evening went to my aunt's house to celebrate "dumpling" festival..not exactly a big special occasion,but my 4th uncle always like to organise such gatherings during any special occasions..in a way it's good coz i love gatherings! he ordered catering food for our dinner..tink most of us were too full to stuff dumplings after dinner,even though it's supposedly celebrating this festival and eating dumpling is a must..haha..had fun playing cards with cousins,though we always play e usual few games,we always had a good laugh coz we kept playing mind games with each other..while we were playing,e others were either playing mahjong or busy watching e taiwan show "爱"..lolx..
Went home at ard 10 plus to prepare for e World Cup frenzy~! stayed up to watch e England vs USA match at 230am..but e results turned out to be such a disappointment! e goalkeeper should really packed his bag and go home man..haiz..
Anw,sooo excited tt e World Cup is finally here~! woo hoo~! finally gt something to anticipate everyday..haha..but this also means my dark circles and eye bags are gg to worsen again during this period of time..tsk tsk..but i dun mind sacrificing for it! hehehe..
Ok..maybe i shld go nap a little while before e Germany vs Australia match starts a few hours later..muz build up some energy to root for my 2nd fav germany! =)

Post title : I finally graduate~!
♥ You'll never know the real me.
My results were out 2 days ago! finally waited until e last day of may..super nervous when gg to see my results,but at e same time i was so damn scared..coz this sem's modules were all nt easy and i tink i wun do well..kept praying hard before i opened e window for e results..
1 thing tt i felt relieved abt was i din fail any mods! and e results were better than wat i expected..but my caps still dropped!!! sianz..but seriously,at this point of time,i jux hope i can graduate smoothly and luckily i did! so im still quite contented after all..haha..
After checking my results i could peacefully accompany my mum to e food fair at expo..wanna go see if there's any new and interesting stuff and see if there's any cheap deals..actually i quite like to go to such food fair,jux as i like to shop in supermarkets..i also dunno why..maybe i really love food tt much..lolx..thot it wouldnt be very crowded coz it's a monday..but we were so wrong! it's still as packed as sardines can..prob coz it's sch hols already so all e mums can bring their kids along..getting e attention of e salespersons over there became extra difficult for us coz there were so many kiasu-sohs ard and we were e ones always kena squeezed out of e crowd..!!!!
Anw,there were really alot of things to buy! but coz we gt only 2 pairs of hands and we gt to tk public transport,we gt to be selective when buying..wanted to go for e coach and kate spades fair,but gt to give up coz we carried too much things le..and it would only start at 4pm,so we din wan to wait for it to open..on our way to e mrt station,we realised e human traffic was getting more and more heavy..i guessed most were gg to chiong for e coach and katespades sales..haha..

Post title : Taiwan! :)))
♥ You'll never know the real me.
Jux read ah fen's blog and i realised i have been leaving this space to rot ever since i went taiwan! feeling guilty,here i come to update! haha..
Ok..maybe let's start with e least recent 1...my 7 days taiwan graduation trip! it's like 2 weeks ago but i still wanna talk abt it~! had great fun with my uni buddies rainbow,ah man and jaz~! and i seriously love taiwan..especially e cooling weather! but of coz,bcoz it's only near e end of spring and it's still nt quite summer yet,e weather was esp shiok! we followed tour,coz ah man said she went taipei before so she wanted to go other places in taiwan,and i also wanna see e whole of taiwan..so our package was actually a round-taiwan tour..haha..e only bad thing was all e long long travelling time from one place to another,some as long as 3 hour plus..and e bumpy and rocky mountain roads tt we gt to travel on..im jux relieved tt i din vomit..haha..anw,most of e pple in our tour group were young adults like us(they were on a graduation trip too!),and there's another 2 older couples who were really very friendly and humourous..and e tour guide was jux 1 yr older than me and he's humourous and lively..wat's funny was tt e way he talked and laughed and his little actions were very similar to my fren dennes! talking to him was like talking to my fren but his face was changed..haha..always gt this familiar feeling whenever he talked on e coach or when i talked to him..anw it's really a bonus to be in such a good tour group with a great tour guide! initially we still wondered if our tour groupmates are all aunties and uncles..haha..
On e 1st day after reaching taoyuan airport,we straight away headed to yilan..played with their traditional activities at their farm and and e main activity of e day-releasing e kong ming lantern~! one of my most anticipated activity..haha..e 2nd day travelled to hualien and taidong for more sightseeing..on e way to taidong,saw alot of areas being severely damaged by e flood in aug last yr which was rather big news during tt period of time..felt rather sad to witness e damages done by e devastating flood with my own eyes..anw,we travelled for ard 2 hours plus from hualien to taidong before settling at taidong's hot spring hotel..initially super looking forward to e hot spring! but due to e rain we couldn't go for e outdoor 1..e glad thing was we could hav our private hot spring in our own rooms..haha..though a little disappointed coz it's nt really wat i imagined,i still quite like e hot spring actually..hehe..
E 3rd day we headed down to Kenting~! Kenting was really really very beautiful~! esp e nice blue sea..but e weather there was super hot,abit like spore's..so sad tt we din gt e chance to go to e Kenting beach and play with e water activities over there! only gt e time to walk ard e shops there..oh well,there's always a next time! started heading up to kaohsiung..by e time we reached kaohsiung it's already ard evening time..went to e liuhe night market for our 1st round of 小吃~! haha..loveeeee them to bits~! at there we saw someone - 赵又廷(e guy in e movie monga)..............................'s dad...lolx...his dad is also a celebrity..jux tt i guess not much pple in our generation know him..haha..me and ah man saw him on tv e day before,and we gt to see him in real e next day..haha!
E 4th day we continued our journey to e sun moon lake~! went to their famous temple and e peacock graden over there..den toured ard a small island which was only meant for e "原住民" by boat,before heading to our hotel..after our dinner at a "原住民" restaurant,we bought bubble tea! and their bubble tea was really yummy~!maybe bcoz of their tea leaves used..their bubble tea was nt only cheap,but huge! i tink all of us couldnt finish drinking..haha..and we tried their beer! we bought 2-1 tasted like cough syrup(yikes),and e other more authentic tasted as bad,but still better than tiger beer..
Finally we were heading back to taipei on e 5th day! but before tt we headed to Hsitou,which was some forested area..e air there was super fresh! felt quite refreshed after a stroll ard..and e scenery there was quite magnificent..it seemed like a gd place for retirement yea..haha..after tt headed down to Jiufen..we were quite lucky coz initially we gt to cancel it coz e place gt some praying section on tt day den tour buses were nt allowed to go up...but luckily e praying section ended earlier than expected so we still gt to go after all..bought quite alot of their famous local products from there..and had a full lunch..and finally we went back to taipei..went to fisherman's wharf and Danshui old street..it's slightly drizzling when we gt there..heng when we headed to shihlin nigh market,no more rain! heh heh..another round of 小吃,this time gt their famous and original 豪大鸡排! *slurp!* din really shop much coz it's so damn crowded tt night and we din really hav a luxury of time to shop finish..bought some 小吃 back to e hotel to eat..wahaha..
On e 6th day went to museums,tea leaves shop,fengshui shop,miramar for e ferris wheel,taipei 101 and finally to ximending~! initially one of our plans was to go yehliu,but e tour guide said if we were to go yehliu we would waste alot of travelling time and would hav to shorten e time for other subsequent places..so e tour guide decided to change to miramar instead..even better coz i can go for e ferris wheel~!hehe..only me and ah man wanted to go for e ferris wheel,so rainbow and jaz went to walk ard while we went for e ferris wheel..it's cheaper for students and im very surprised they actually accepted nus ez-link card! lolx..after i finally digged out my wallet,i din actually realised i gt bring my ez-link until 1 of my tour groupmate pointed out to me..so heng i gt e tix at student price..but coz ah man bought e tix earlier than me so i couldnt help her gt e tix together with mine..felt abit bad actually..we decided to go to e washroom 1st before taking..when we came out,jux nice some of our tour groupmates were going to board e next cabin so they called us to take e same cabin..we dun nd to queue le..haha!but a lil paiseh coz e queue was quite long..
Went to taipei 101..but too bad we din gt to take e lift up..coz it's quite foggy outside and we thot it would be a waste of money if we go up and cant see anything..so we jux walked ard and headed to ximending after dinner..surprisingly,there's nth much to buy at ximending..prob coz we gt nt much money left,and e clothes there dun really suit me..haha..on e last day we only stayed in hotel to play games and watch tv coz we gt to leave e hotel at 12 plus le..but actually we could hav stayed a bit longer,coz e time for our flight given to e tour guide was 1 hour earlier,so e tour guide arranged for us to leave earlier..haha..since we gt alot of time, we went to a cafe for lunch and chit chat before bidding goodbye to e tour guide and to taiwan~!
our tour group with e tour guide..=)I wanna go taiwan again~! wanna go shop till i drop without having to worry gt any time limit..wanna go back kenting for e beach and water activities..wanna go back for more 小吃! haha..but 1st,money gt to start rolling in 1st..now im like super broke already..
Ok..i tink this entry already like super long..shall update another day SOON!
