Woke up early in the morning, quickly prepared and went to visit "my little panda". This is my first time see panda by naked eye.

How to go there?

- We took Taiwan Metro (内湖线） to 木删动物园

After arrived Taipei Zoo, we queue up to buy entry ticket, it only cost 60NTW/each person.

Finally panda in my real life.

She is so chubby and cute 😍

Bf forced me to take ride of Maokong Gondola .You know I'm afraid of height seriously.

No eyes see!

Well, we arrived at the top of the moutain safely . It was so windy and the cold breeze keep on repeating and makes me fall sick! Poor me just second day and still got one more week to go:(

There was a small tea farm located just a few steps beside the gondola. It was very fun when you eating ice cream during winter .

We took lunch at panda theme cafe , it taste so so only but the theme is sp attractive . Lol typical tourist act 😒

草泥马 so lazy maybe because of winter they are hibernate 。

Silver back gorilla .He is huge in size , it is almost similar size as a teenager 。Don't know why I felt like he is so chio.

Countdown Taiwan -Day 1

Hello ... Good day!*wave hand

Now is time to update my Taiwan Trip. Too many photos in my camera which makes me very lazy to transfer it to my computer and of cause the most troublesome is editing photo one by one.

Let's me summarize my Day 1 schedule:

10:00 am Depart form LCCT

15:00 pm Arrive Taoyuan International Airport

18:00 pm Countdown and Dinner at Taipei 101

Thank for our beloved host for the picked up service, he is very cordial and affectionate while introducing Taiwan.

It took 45 minutes for the whole journey from Taoyuan International Airport to Taipei.

TaaDaa!

Our lovely room with daisy and natural theme :)
I make my reservation through Airbnb. It named as "FOREVER INN" *click here for more information.

The first thing we do after touch down is to register a Taiwan SimCard. For your information , I used 台湾大哥大 , however my bf used 中华电信. The reason behind both of us taken different telco is for review purpose for my blog !! LOL
The answer is 台湾大哥大 is better :) *smile smile
You know why ?
My phone will have full line even we went to rural area. So you all know which to choose when you go Taiwan ;p

The next thing that must be registered is EASY CARD which in Malaysia we called Touch n Go. In Taiwan their public transport is very advanced you can reach your destination by using their subway.
You may refer to their metro subway map below.
It is very convenient compared to our country and very easy to understand.

Registration Fee- 100 NTD
You will be return 80 NTD when you cancelled your card.

After unpacked all the luggage and walk 3 minutes from my hostel to 中山国中捷运站 to Taipei 101.

How to go Taipei 101 ?

中山国中捷运站(文湖线）---> 大安---> 台北101

#POTD

We went to Taipei 101 for our dinner as we were very hungry until can eat a whole cow !!

Exactly "what to eat" expression! hahahahA

We choose to have our dinner at Taipei 101 food pavilion.

There are very famous with "ding tai fung"

I love the design for the food pavilion.

The most easy way to choose what to eat is to looking around and see what others eating or see the amount of queue.

Since we are very hungry, we choose to have rice as our dinner.

Kimchi Jigae- A huge portion of kimchi jigae with reasonable price (230 NTD)

Big Shrimp is included :)

Super big portion of side dishes, you may choose your own side dishes as I choose to have marinated seaweed, potatoes salad and marinated glass noodles.

As My bf just ordered Bulgogi beef set (230 NTD)

We are ready to countdown !! Woohoo!! Jumping like a kid

Seriously, there are freezing outside ..But I like winter more! I rather die because of cold also don't want melt like a cheese ...:p

I can't imagine we are just standing beside Taipei 101.
I remember every year I watched the Taipei 101 firework on TV!
And yet my dream have comes true :)

This time countdown is a little bit special compared to the pass few years .

Can you spotted a Spiderman is hanging over there!

Yeah! The Spiderman will rotate 360 degree when step 00:00 sharp and his finger pointing to TAIPEI 101 to initiate the Firework :)

We just sit at middle of the road and waiting for the firework!

Drinking beer to make my body feels warmer as the temperature is keep dropping when comes to the night time.

I like this beer . It tastes like Heineken but it is a sweet version of that.

The price is very cheap.

I found that Taiwan stuffs are more cheaper compared to Malaysia.

Malaysia Tax is freaking insane!

I told you that Taiwanese are very warm and friendly. There are giving free body warmer for us :）

They're so caring . I felt very warm especially in winter time.

I like Taiwanese accent , they always ended up their sentences with 噢~~ 嘻嘻

Taipei 101 Countdown concert. S.H.E on the board :)

Ready??? Ready??? Ready???

Happy New Year 2014

Seconds before the clocks hit twelve, everything went silent and lights were darkened..
The first light we saw seconds later was from the tallest tower of Taipei 101 that dwarfs the rest of the city.
That first light was magnificent, it rendered the crowd speechless, it was indeed breathtaking.
That incredible sight and magical moment was more than enough every effort spent.

Last Picture at 2013 :)

55 Cafe @ Penang

*Highlight -3D ART COFFEE SERVED HERE.

Hello, I'm just backed from Little island Penang. I can't wait to share with you guy an awesome cafe which named as 55 Cafe. First I want to thank to my friend who brought us there and we have a small gathering on the whole night which really cheer up my day :)

Here we go 55 Cafe & Restaurant offers Mediterranean-inspired cuisine and tapas in an informal setting. The menu features a variety of light, tasty dishes, with daily specials depending on what's fresh at the market on the day .

My friend eventually boom my picture ><''

Anyways thanks for him who bring me to this exquisite restaurant.

I was quite surprise and felt impressive to this restaurant because the environment is really vintage and it is located at Penang Historical area- Heritage.

As what my friend told me , the place was used to manufacture coffee during last time and now it is renovate to become a cafe.

If I'm not mistaken, I think this is the place that used to roast the coffee bean .You can imagine how big the wok !!!
Even can put me inside ><

So vintage and artistic right? Those oil painting inspired me to continue my oil painting journey and want to have a professional class for it.

Anyone can recommend a studio?

This authentic basket looks like a piece of antique. I remember my house still got one used to put mandarin orange during Chinese New Year.

The cashier is so attractive and beautiful. I believe my beloved Hins Cheung will definitely love this place because he is the person who like to collect this kind of old precious piece :)
XD
