24 Years Older

Angeline's mother had her when she was 24 years old, thus she is naturally 24 years older than Angeline. Her mother is really quite lucky because she got Angeline to celebrate her birthday every year. As Angeline has no child, Angeline might not get any birthday celebration when she gets to her mother's age. Angeline better start having more god children from now on.

Angeline brought Mommy to Crystal Jade for her birthday. As Angeline was feeling too good, the celebration was kept simple with just a family dinner and some shopping. Mommy got a new wallet, Andersen's ice-cream and a bottle of perfume from Daddy. Thinking back, Daddy paid more for Mommy's birthday. Angeline still has Albert then! This thought is more positive!












P/S: Celine could not make it.
P/P/S: Of course, he could not make it too.

A Gentle Reminder

Just in case you are not aware, the entries about the Taipei are in random and they are done!

Counting on...

11 years ago, a group of Convent girls graduated from St. Theresa's Convent and moved onto different directions in life. 11 years later, this same group of Convent girls met up for their annual gathering. The venue was decided at Orchard Central.

With everyone trying to outwit each other in remembering their classmates and teachers, Angeline realised that she has forgotten quite a significant number of names from her convent days. This is indeed worrying for Angeline.

Angeline always love bitching around with the convent girls because gossips are always meant for sharing. Angeline likes that last bit the best.






P/S: Angeline hopes that someone would be able to attend the gathering in 2011.

Believe it!

Wu Fen Bu was a shopping paradise for Angeline. In contrast, Xi Men Ding was a shopping paradise for Albert and Angeline was not so fascinated at Xi Men Ding. Given Albert's spending habit, he actually bought 1 pair of Nike shoes, 1 pair of Adidas shoes and a bag at Xi Men Ding. For Angeline, that was something to remember about.

At Xi Men Ding, Angeline and Albert walked past a row of 'Zua Zua Le' machines. Honestly, Angeline did not know the name of those machines and it was given to them by Angeline herself. Just like 4 years ago, Albert went to Taipei, caught a dog, brought it back to Singapore and gave it to Angeline. 4 years later, Albert went to Taipei, caught a turtle and gave it to Angeline in Taipei. Angeline just told Albert that he is good with such machines. Albert seems to believe Angeline.

Did Angeline mention that Albert has a liking for CURRY? He had been eating Curry on every occasion that he could have. Without a doubt, Albert saw the 'Curry House' at Xi Men Ding and wanted to eat there. Angeline became the photographer during his dinner. You could guess as much that Angeline is not a great fan of Curry as compared to Albert.

P/S: The pink TURTLE is sitting on Angeline's desk now.
P/P/S: Angeline and Albert did not eat at the Toilet Theme Restaurant.
P/P/P/S: Angeline just thought that it was cute and wanted to take photographs of it.

Farewell 2 Taiwan!

Angeline is still wondering how on earth did the 5 days seemed like 5 hours in Taipei. Before Angeline knew it, she was back at Tao Yuan International Airport departing back to Singapore.

Just before she boarded the departure gate, she kept on breathing the last bit of Taipei's cool air as she knew there would be none in Singapore. Maybe she could turn the air con really cool and keeps on breathing whenever she misses the cool air. That's right!








P/S: Angeline has not done that act yet.

Ti-Ti

Commuters in Singapore will hear the 'ti-ti' sound on a daily basis whenever they scan their Ez-Link Card on the Reader. What about in Taipei?

In Taipei, the commuters use a card similar to that of the Ez-Link Card whenever they take the bus, Taipei Metro and High Speed Rail. The only difference is the Card Reader will produce a 'du' instead of the 'ti-ti'. Throughout the 5 days in Taipei, Angeline only realized it on the 5th day. It is still not that bad. At least, she spotted the difference. Try asking Albert then!

The Taipei Metro works just like the Singapore's SMRT Trains. It brings commuters to their destination safely within reasonable travelling time. Some stations even have officers to remind people to stand behind the yellow line orderly. Despite the rush hour crowds, the commuters would still line up in 2 rows and board the Taipei Metro in an orderly fashion, no fuss at all. Imagine Singapore's rush hour crowds!

Angeline thinks that it is indeed a great convenience to travel around Taipei via the Metro. Maybe Angeline should start commuting around Singapore via the SMART Trains.














P/S: Angeline is a bus person.

Up, Up and Away!

As an Early Childhood educator, Angeline developed an occupational hazard and insisted on taking a photograph at the Children's Playground before boarding the plane.

As a Koi Fish lover, Albert insisted on taking a photograph at the Koi Pond before boarding the plane.

Therefore, the conclusion drawn is Singapore Changi Airport's Terminal 3 is indeed very impressive to accommodate the likes of different people. Credits given again!










P/S: Angeline thought everyone would take photographs of the airplane, so they did it too.

Proudly Presents...

San Want Hotel Taipei

San want Hotel Taipei is perfectly positioned on Zhong Xiao East Road, the heart of Taipei's commercial, shopping and entertainment district. within easy access of the business and shopping districts, such as Taipei World Convention and Exhibition Center and Taipei 101, the proximity to Taipei Metro also bring convenience and access to both business and tourist sites of the city. (extracted from http://www.sanwant.com)

Indeed, Angeline and Albert loves the location of this hotel, as it brought them much convenience when travelling around Taipei. Can you imagine that the Taipei Metro is just next to the hotel? The design and comfort of San Want Hotel Taipei is comparably to many boutique in Singapore. Angeline would like to stay at San Want in 2010.

Oh yes, Angeline loves the 'Wang Wang' that she saw at the Hotel Lobby and just like Hong Kong Disneyland, almost everything in the Hotel bear the 'Wang Wang' logo. If you don't know who is 'Wang Wang', Angeline is speechless.

P/S: Angeline wonders if Albert got the hint.

Devotion

Albert has been a devoted Buddhist since a few years ago. When Angeline says devoted, she literally means devoted. Albert would go to the temple every Saturdays and go vegetarian on the 1st and 15th day of the lunar month. Of course, Albert would want to go and visit the famous Long Shan Temple at Taipei when they were there.

Angeline would love to visit the museums if they have the time too.














P/S: Angeline prays hard for a good 2010.

The Special Day

Angeline and Albert took a day leave on 10th November 2009. A day off on Tuesday feels so good for the couple. One, shopping malls are usually less crowded. Two, the week feels shorter. Three, Angeline got a day rest away from work.

The special day was not really that special because there was no special plans made. The couple simply picked a shopping mall and did some shopping. Next, the couple simply picked a restaurant and ate their dinner. Maybe it should be called the SIMPLE day.

As Angeline turns 26 this year, she only has a birthday wish. May that wish comes true in 2010!

P/S: On a side note, Angeline might just have another wish.
P/P/S: Dear Lord, if you can not make Angeline slimmer, please make all of Angeline's friends FAT!

A Surprise

On 10th November 2009, Angeline's family brought her a Tiramisu Cake to celebrate. After the celebration, Angeline thinks that she definitely had outgrown the stage of singing the birthday song, making a birthday wish and cutting the birthday cake. Weird!

P/S: Angeline does not want to count the candles on the cake anymore.
P/P/S: Angeline shall just eat the cake in 2010.

Over the years...

... Angeline is still learning how to embrace changes with an open heart. Let's see how it goes!





P/S: Nothing happens.
P/P/S: Just a thought.

The Conquest

Angeline made it to the top of the wall at Climbers Laboratory. Unbelievable!

Angeline is so proud of herself because she managed to conquer her own fear of heights.

Honestly, Angeline just didn't want her children to 'announce' to the whole world that she didn't make it to the top. That just didn't seem too promising. Beside, most of the children and their parents made it to the top too. Therefore, Angeline swore that she better made it to the top and she really did it! Woohoo!




P/S: Angeline didn't look down when she was at the top.
P/P/S: Angeline did the L-shaped to walk down the wall and that felt good!

The Last One

Remember the most substantial present that Ck had received was the Raoul Wallet? It was the last surprise that Angeline had planned for Ck on his 27th birthday.

The initial plan was to steal his Identity Card and buy him a phone with the upgrade of his plan. However, Angeline did not want to go to jail for committing a crime. Therefore, a wallet is a better choice when compared.

Raoul seems like a good brand for a banking executive and the decision was made with no fuss. Thus, Angeline bought the wallet and gave it to him upon their check-in at Marina Mandarin Hotel.

It was indeed a surprise for Ck because he thought all the surprises had ended on the day before. All in all, Angeline must be the biggest surprise because she could be so sweet (once again)!

P/S: Angeline and Ck went to the Mint Museum of Toys and Jumbo Riverwalk on 21st August 2009.

P/P/S: Angeline and Ck went to Marina Mandarin Hotel on 22nd August 2009.

A Proud Moment

Angeline had one of the proudest moment in her life on 15 August 2009. It was her convocation ceremony held at Shangri-La Hotel. With the 2 most important men in her life (Daddy and Ck), Angeline recieved the certificate with grace and confidence.

Finally, Angeline could shout out LOUD, "GRADUATED LOH!"

P/S: Angeline had graduated with a First-Class Honours degree.
P/P/S: Angeline don't remembered how did it happen.
