Our Bali getaway (10-13 Oct 08)

For the 1st time, we took MRT to the airport. In fact, we both have never took MRT together before! Anyway, we were 1 hour delayed (half from my dilly dally at home & half the time from SMRT's faulty mechanical problems with the train!!)

By the time we reached the airport, we ran all the way and was almost rejected entry (as the gate has opened). Good thing Eythan did e-checking the day before! Phew... On the way, I've already had enough of his grumble & reprimands, good thing we didn't miss the flight.


Everything about this trip is last minute, even booking the hotels. All the good ones are fully booked due to this peak season. We took a risk and book this Segara Village Hotel along Sanur beach (yes, die die must have beachfront!). When we reached the hotel, we immediately fell in love with this resort style hotel. 
It is quite big actually, with lotus ponds and big gardens. Best of all, the pool is right by the beach! I chose this resort as it is newly renovated, and we don't really fancy balinese kind of furniture in the bedrooms. The room here is clean, bright & neat!

Girls trip to Taiwan (3-7 Oct 08)

My first trip to Taiwan... and the 2nd trip with the same people. Our last trip was >10yrs ago to KL! We had a list of the food to try there & we start on the very 1st day there.


Must try the Ah Zong Vermicelli. Yummy!
I love the Ma La steamboat (fire pot) too, esp. miss the pig's blood! Yucks for many but Yum for me!! Hee... 
At Shi Lin market, we bought similar clothes and put them on the moment we reached the hotel room. Hahaha! We had such a good laugh! 

Best part is, for the 1st time, we had to put on fake eyelash ourselves and each of us spent hours on that. At the end, we looked like drag queens. Hahaha....
