City of Taipei

Hi everyone!

I’m back from all my business trips and what ever thing that has been going on these 2 months. After the last post, I was preparing myself to Taiwan for another exhibition. My first ever exhibition was on Marine industry (just click on it if you forgot) and so this is the 2nd official exhibition that I am handling which is on food industry, Food Taipei 2012. I have a total of 8 companies with me and I was terribly anxious as it is more than my first exhibition.

Before I start telling you my stories, let me kick off with some photos.

I had too much things to carry so there wasn’t much pictures taken after that. When I arrived, I rushed to the bus station and took a direct bus to the exhibition hall so that I could have a glimpse on whether the things are all fully equipped before m clients arrive on the 2nd day (I wouldn’t want to be complained).

After making sure everything was in order, I went to the city to meet up with one of the Malaysian government director as there are some stuffs that needed to be sorted. Right after that, we headed to ShiLin night market with me all sweaty/smelly/disgusting/2 bags. Trust me, it was not fun.

After a night of exciting and tiring experience, I head back to the hotel to take a rest before the storm on the 2nd day.

Here’s a story for you guys. After settling my stuff in the early morning, I had some time on hand and thought if visiting Taipei 101 since it is one of the must do things in Taiwan. After checking the map in my hotel, I realised it is actually not that far from the hotel. According to the map it was only 5km away. So I thought to myself, why don’t I walk there..?? And guess what? I did! It took me about an hour to reach Taipei 101. Weather was awfully hot but it was worth it as it is a new place and a whole new experience for me.

Up up and away! DSC01414

All sweaty but happy that I’ve reached DSC01417

This is my first official alone meal in Taiwan. It was raining so heavily all of a sudden that I had to pack and go back to the hotel to finish it before heading to the exhibition hall again. DSC01484

After a day of hard work, of course it is time to chill a bit. Me and some of my clients went to night market to just chillax a little.

Found the legendary stall in Taiwan. DSC01702

By the way! I tried the smelly toufu and it was HORRIBLE!!! and I got tricked into eating it.. ): Client bully me…!!!!

And this is the person that tricked me into eating it!!! Memang like boss la he! DSC01708

That basically is the ending of my Taiwan trip. Most of the days was just spent drinking at night and going back to hotel to rest as most of us are dead tired by the end of the day.

As you can see, there isn’t many photos from Taiwan as I was too busy working and basically didn’t go many places for sight seeing but I met a great group of people in Taiwan and I am grateful enough. Smile 

Till then,

Au revoir

Being spontaneous isn’t that bad afterall

Dear all.

I’m back for more juicy post. I know it took me a while to get things in order, but at least I came back for an update isn’t it?

As mentioned in my previous post, I had an unintended date with him because we went to 1 Utama for something that I couldn’t remember. Once again, we couldn’t decide what to have for dinner and we headed off to Chilli’s. Was suppose to be a simple dinner end up we went for something quite rich and fattening.

Let me point this out to everyone. He is basically quite  a simple person, when you ask him where to eat, he will always give you the few places that he usually go. Doesn’t really mind going to the same old place all the time. Some may call it boring, but in a way, he is considered loyal….? Just an assumption.

His Magarita. DSC01009

That’s him before going all red. DSC01015

I really gotta stop posting post on food during late night.. it’s making my tummy rumble like nobody’s business. (tight diet la, just in case you don’t know).

Just in case you don’t know again, I’m a big fan of burgers. DSC01026

Want to see what happens when he has just a few drop of alcohol in his system? Oh, how I enjoy seeing him turn into a lobster.

Can you see how much difference it is with the before and after? DSC01032

While he turned into a lobster, I on the other hand, has no affect from the alcohol.

Putting aside all these, we had a good time fooling around with my camera and actually no caring how others think. =)

OKAY Moving on~

Ok, what’s next then? From the picture above, you can see that my sister is back in Malaysia. However only for a short period of time. She had a performance with MPO (Malaysia Philharmonic Orchestra).

Had complementary tickets and brought him to explore something different. A little bit about my side of the story. Before that, a little bit of Nom Nom session

He claims that the picture of me look good, but I highly doubt it. I look super distorted!

Now, this is much better!!! MuahahahahahahaDSC01135

Hmm… Caramel Macchiato, taste good?DSC01144

Ridiculously over-priced salad. =.=DSC01151

Overall, the concert is good. However he was trying very hard to stay awake as it is not his genre of music. *poor baby*, am certainly proud that he kept awake even though I have to keep nudging him from time to time. and right before the concert, we had a stupid argument that made us in silence for almost half an hour. I can’t even bloody remember what we fought about! How stupid is that??!

That’s all for this post and let’s hope that I have more to blog about later on. Life’s been pretty busy lately with work and all sorts. Am preparing for few upcoming exhibitions and it is stressing me out. No worries, I’m still hanging on.

Signing off with love.
