A nice holiday in Taiwan

27 10 2009

Thanks god our Taiwan trip was scheduled after PAMA Typhoon ~ The trip was enjoyable and well executed as our plan despite the bad weather announced earlier…It’s worth my effort to do so much research and planning for the itinerary~~ clap hands*

Air ticket was purchased from Jestar at Sgd304/pax and our total expenses of the trip is about Sgd1000 each inclusive accomodation,meals,transportation,shopping, souvenirs and entrance fees.(It’s worth!!)

We spent 11days 10 night to cover Taichung, Kaoshiung, Kenting & Taipei(Yilan was the only one we omitted in this trip due to the flood). Our main activities in this trip were eat eat eat, shop shop shop and shoot shoot shoot.

It was really a nice holiday for me~ Alot of nice things about this trip~

It was the beginning of Autumn season there, thus the weather was quite cooling, about 23-24 degree in Taipei and 28-30 in kaoshiung. Slightly hot in south part but still better than Singapore.

Most of the places we has visited were nice, special and memorable. Places that i like the most are Feng Jia Night market, Ximending, Shilin night market, 九分老街 and 淡水老街.

Most of the taiwanese there were nice and polite except a small part of rude people. The way they talk (nomatter guy or gals) are very soft and gentle. Pretty girls are everywhere~

The food there was super nice!!!! Those are really unforgetable like 豪大大雞排 , 大腸包小腸 , 生煎包 , 檸檬愛玉 冰, 青蛙下蛋 , 珍珠奶茶 , 臭豆腐, 台灣香腸, 阿宗面線, 手卷冰其淋, 官材板,  豬血糕, 手抓餅etc. Even their 便當 and 杯面also delicious. We love to buy drinks from the 便利店 where you able to find variety of nice drinks like yuan yang milk tea, coffee, green tea, honey tea and juices.

And never forget about the hot spring at xin beitou~~ It was indeed a nice experience to sink urself naked under 43 degree hot water!!! shiok~~

Details and photos of the trip will be updated at www.aniceholiday.com

Stay tune~





写给男孩的一封信

6 10 2009

不懂事的女孩又惹男孩生气了…

女孩终于按捺不住自己的情绪,决定向男孩发表心里的感受及想法.

男孩还是无法理解为何女孩总爱小题大做,无理取闹,弄得大家情绪波动,不欢而散。

女孩的心思无法被理解而感到纳闷,尽管如何地解释还是得不到想要的结果。

气急败坏之下,狠心的话破口而出,一句无心伤害令男孩无法招架,无言以对。

虽然女孩非常后悔自己的所作所为,但又不甘心男孩对他的冷淡回应及强硬的态度,也不愿主动言和,安抚女孩,让女孩感到极度失望。

女孩很想對着天空吶喊: “這不是我想要的結局!!!”

心痛,也于事無補.

那一刻,看見精疲力盡的男孩呆滞地望着天花板,一道淚痕從眼角划過,聽見從他心底傳來的心碎聲,女孩的心也冷了一半.

是女孩過火了嗎?为何要讓心愛的人如此難過?心里很不是滋味…

奧悔突然湧上心頭. 好想跟男孩言归于好.很想上前跟他说: 算了,我甚麼都不要了.只要我倆開開心心再一起就夠了,好吗?

偏偏女孩的自尊心在作祟,不認輸的個性挺身而出阻止了一切行動.心里始终感到很内疚.心想男孩是否已对她心灰意冷了?脑袋里一片空白,思绪很乱.

四周一片肃静,冷漠戰勝了这场决斗。

终于,女孩投降了,由始至终誰都沒錯, 錯的是一時的冲動,没把自己的情绪给管理好。歇斯底里后才发现自己闯下了大祸,犹如狂风暴雨后所残留的局面难以收拾,更害怕因一时糊涂而破坏这段难能可贵的感情。

那一刻,女孩多么希望时间能倒流,回到争吵之前的时刻,好好珍惜用心对待自己的男孩,无谓的争吵只会加深彼此的伤害,在两人之间画上一条明显界线。

—————————————————————————————————————————————————

因为在乎所以在意, 因为體諒所以容忍, 因为期待所以失望…

太在乎一個人不一定是件好事,因為你會很在意他的看法,感受,甚至他所说的每一句话和一舉一動, 就連关心也會變成多心.對每件事的期望也不要太高,因為期望越高失望就越大.何必自討苦吃?

說好心里的話別往心底塞,溝通是建立彼此關係最好的橋樑.提出心里的不愉快是需要勇氣的,因為害怕一旦話說出了口会傷害到彼此之间的感情.語氣及詞汇拿捏得不好也會引起不必要的爭吵。

人往往会在情绪激动的情况下无意地说出賭氣的話,结果又在傷口上撒了一把鹽.覆水难收…后悔莫及.

谁对谁错,谁是谁非无须计较那么多,最重要的是能开开心心,快快乐乐一起携手走过每一条路,好好珍惜眼前人。

Guide to choose a Inline Skate

18 04 2009

Looking for an ideal inline skate shoes for yourself?

If you are looking for a comfortable skate for recreational or fitness purpose, there are 2 brands I would recommend are K2 and Rollerblade. Both are great choice for new skaters who want support and stability without sacrificing comfort.

There are four criteria you need to take into consideration to choose a stable, comfortable, breathable, supportive and responsive skate shoes.

bg_inline_skate

1. Wheels

Inline skate wheels have the greatest impact on your skating performance. They come in different sizes, shapes, and composition, and are made to suit different styles of skating.

a) Hardness (74A (softest) to 88A (hardest))

  • The higher the hardness is, the harder the wheel.
  • The harder the wheel, the longer it lasts, but the less it absorbs shock and vibration when skating.

b) Size (Typical wheel diameters are from 70-80 mm)

  • The larger the wheel, the faster the skate due to reduced rolling resistance. But larger wheels are less stable and require more skating ability

2. Bearings

Bearings are the seven or eight balls at the center of each wheel. Each bearing has an ABEC rating that indicates the precision of their manufacturing.

  • The higher the rating is, the more precise the manufacture and the better the performance and speed.
  • The general ABEC range is ABEC-1, ABEC-3, ABEC-5

3. Frames

Frames hold skate components in place. Most recreational frames are made of aluminum alloy or nylon and fiberglass composites. The best choice would be metal frames as it is stiffer, faster, and lighter, but typically cost more

4. Uppers

a) Materials – usually made from synthetic materials that offer durability, comfort and breathability.

b) Liners – Most of the boots contain a cushioning liner which is made of a foam material

c) Hard Shell – Constructed of model plastic and similar to a ski boot. Lower half protects the foot while upper half supports the ankle.

d) Soft Boot – Made with an external plastic cuff to provide support, like a hiking boot.





雨后春笋 – Bamboo shoots after a Spring Rain

15 04 2009

心中一直期待着美丽的星期天,好让我有个机会投入大自然怀抱,享受下幽静的环境和清新的空气。可是前晚下了一场小雨,路上湿滑,天也一直很阴沉。担心要是天气一直不得好转,这次动物园之行就有很大的遗憾了。

中午时分,果然下了一场连绵细雨, 扫了大家的兴。但仍然继续在细雨中步行着,就是不想错过那精彩的节目表演。好在天公作美,虽然当天的天气的确一直不太好,小雨停后,天气晴了,那雨后即景的确足以让人生完整,那种静谧的美,值得回味许久,也让我再次重温这好久不见的动物园之旅。

天气晴了……就在天气转晴的那一刻,及时在温暖的阳光普照下捕捉了这一目美丽的画面….

雨后春笋,这句成语足以贴切地形容这一幕。
