Taiwan Trip Day 6
I have to continue with this! shucks, approximately two and a half more days to go!! gambette...
so, the morning at 阿里山, i was assigned to wake up the earliest and wake the rest of them up. the assigned time was... a freaking 5:30am for me to wake up! but by the time i'm up, the sun was shining in like it was noon time. wow~ it's that bright.
another after a good (and very cold) wash up (it's still around 10 degrees ba), i tried to wake CL up while mic went to wash up. (she's amazingly early in terms of waking up) mic brushing, CL hadn't wake up... *shake shake shake* mic rinsing mouth, CL hadn't wake up... *shake shake shake* mic come out of bathroom, CL slightly woke up, but whiningly refused to get out of blanket... *shake shake shake* mic was back under the blankets waiting for the rest to wake up, CL still whining, hp woke up and went to wash up... *shake shake shake* hp came out, CL still refusing to get up... Me took out my camera and started taking a video of him whining... which sounded sometime like a cow moo-ing and a pig being slaughtered... i shant put the video up.
yeok oso the same. i shall say like bf like gal...
anyway, we went to have breakfast at the hotel's designated restaurant. 5 min after we arrived there (in full sleepy mode), all the ah tiongs came. they were rowdy, noisy and inconsiderate. if singapore was ranked 45th on the consideration list, i tink this particular country will rank even lower. they were demanding and irritating, ordering extra food and scolded the restaurant owner for charging them (as if she shouldn't). very bad attitude. destroyed a very nice cold peaceful morning.
went to walk the trails of 阿里山. initially it was damn nice, seeing the old railway and taking photos in the forests. it's quite serene. 阿里山 has lots of streams, and they flow quite gently, like a very nice picture you see in chinese restaurants, but it's all real. damn, everywhere i turn, i see pictures and pictures. i swear if zhang yimou see this, he will want to include 阿里山 as one of his scenes in one of his wuxia movies.
we met a couple of 高雄 aunties (they're actually a mother and a daughter), den we started talking and she recommended us to change our plans to go to 高雄 immediately that afternoon. true la, after walking so long, there isn't much else to do on top of this "stranded" mountain. anyway, we still wanted to finish walking around 阿里山 first.
just when we were admiring the scenery from a certain bridge and breathing in the fresh air... *choke choke choke* wa lao!! the ah tiongs came by and they were smoking! speaking loudly! totally ruining the environment! damn man! argh!! i really hate ah tiongs at this point of time. FIRST TIME EVER IN MY LIFE! i hate them. yeekz...
anyway, in the late morning, we packed our stuff, got some snacks and bought our tickets to the 嘉義 train station to go to 高雄. nothin' much la. just that at this point of time, i got a bit irritated by one of the 高雄 aunties.
we took a very 老-kok-kok train to 高雄, which took million of years to reach our destination. it was like the most common public train service, and it's cheap too. because it was around afternn time, so there were A LOT of students squeezing on the train.
that's when i discovered that the train seats can turn 180 degrees! woah... 老-kok-kok train oso has interesting functions one.
we reached 高雄 and then quickly found a hotel, checked in, and went out for dinner. we were that hungry. anyway, didn't take much photos, cos i was pretty tired, and also becos i was busy buying food eating. haha... because after finishing a formal dinner at a Yoshinoya-look-alike (which also sells jap food, but taste much better!), we went to the night market which is more like a food street. i just kept buying food i havent seen and eating and eating and eating! i swear i ate much more that night than any other days since i was born! u have to message me personally to know what i ate. woah...
after eating, we decided we want to ktv. yeok and jh went mad while we were searching for the ktv. they started singing weird songs that normal 20+ dun sing.
took lotsa videos while we were ktv-ing, but better not put here. they're all pretty disgracing. wahahah~ ktv in taiwan is pretty much the same la, just that they dun use hanyu-pinyin to organize the songs, so it's pretty difficult for a singaporean to search for a song there. and they do not utilize the remote control fully, which made things very difficult. oh wells, the idea of free-flow plain water and a suite-attached bathroom is good enough for me. ;)
by the time we reached back in hotel, it's already 4am, or is it later? can't remember. tried watching tv, but tink i concussed after 10 min... *zzz*
[to be continued]... hopefully very soon too!
