Fun @ Work!!!
Today we had a alot fun at work place.... At about 8 plus am, my supervisor (Azmil) told me to create names for the drawing of lots as who will be going to the Smoking Cessation Course (A course that smokers hate the most). Hazali had voluntaried himself to go for the course. So left with another person attend the course... Guess who will go....
After writing the names:-
1. Sazalie
2. Zulkiflie
3. Fairuz
4. Fidaus
5. Mac
6. Ihwan
7. Zahid
8. Azmil
9. Hafez
10. Sivanesan
After writing the names, Mr Non Smoker - Poh Kiat was chosen by our faithful leader to be the "lot picker".
Poh Kiat: Why me??? Ok lah I picked....
After picking up one of the lot and place under the stone...
Sazalie:- Don't open the one which have been picked. Slowly opened the rest for excitment sake.
Poh Kiat slowly opened one by one.
Fairuz:- If you open my lot (to indicate that he is not chosen), he will give poh kiat a kiss...
To our surprise, Fairuz name appeared. Fairuz hugged Poh Kiat and give him a kiss.
Sazalie: If you open my lot, I will give you a kiss.
To our surprise again, poh kiat opened up the lot andSazalie name appeared. So the kissing continues.

7Days Taiwan Trip + 2 Days Hong Kong Itinerary
Day 1 (Taipei)
Singapore Changi Terminal One to Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport on Cathay Pacific. Took a High Speed Rail to Taipei. The High Speed Rail is quite comfortable and overall quite fast too. Next, our tour guide - Mr Steven Lee brought us to National Museum. The artifacts are very grand but we are not allowed to have any photographic taken inside. Soooo... kind of too bad. The only thing that interested me is the Jade crave into the shape of Cabbage. Next we left the museum and proceed to Fishersman's Wharf (The filming site for Lu Xin Hua Yuan - The Meteor Garden). There is a bridge connecting it several shops... Guess the bridge name? It is Qing Ren Jiao ("Lover's Bridge"). After 1 hrs of walking, we left the wharf and the tour guide brought us to TamShui Night Market also known as Dan Shui Lau Jie (A "makan" heaven for hungry men and women out there). Subsequently, we left the Nightmarket and proceed back to our hotel for a early rest.

Next we went to Nan Tien Temple to view one of the god prayed by the locals. The god name is "Ma Zhu". It is said that sailors before they go out for their sailing trips, they would come to pray 'Ma Zhu" for safe journey. After which, we took the tour bus to a train station to try the old train that is still in use. We arrived at Su Aw Station. We took the train to Xin Chen Station (located near Hua Lien).

I have bought a sapphire necklace from there.. which cost a "bomb". Haizz!!

Repulse bay is known to have rich people owning some of the house over there. You must have status in order to live in that urban luxurious district.
- Next stop, DISNEYLAND. Spend a fun filled day together with my parents. No thrilling rides for them. Took alot of wonderful pictures. While we were waited patiently for the fireworks, a slight drizzle kicks in and strong wind. The fireworks "designed" were partially destroy. Haizz!! Due to the rain, we did not proceed down to MONGKOK - Ladies Street. We shall go tomorrow.
9 Days (Hong Kong)
Early in the morning we check-out from the hotel and went to Ngong Ping 360 to see the largest Buddha. Before, we could see the sculpture, we had to sit 25 mins ride in the cable car.
After viewing the place, we headed down to Mongkok to buy some local products like Lau Po Biscuits from Wing Wah. Highly recommended.
While walking, along Nathan Street.. At last we found the famous MONGKOK - Ladies Street. The entire is bursting with people. There were many shops selling ladies handbag / bags / shoes / wallet. I managed to get some wallets from there as well as my mum got herself a lady handbag. She is quite happy with the price. Subsequently, we head back to the hotel via MTR. There were many hipcups + funny moments on the way back to hotel (from:- Mum + Felicia)
At about 2315hrs, we arrived back to Singapore via Cathay Pacific. Our uncle waited for us to send us back home. We went oversea with 4 luggages but we came with 7. Hahah we really brought back the entire Taiwan and Hongkong with us back to Singapore.
