Finally, i managed to meet up with jay fan friends together. Intially, i was told that there was a bowling session and will inform me once they confirmed the time and the place. But due to some miscommunication, i managed to have dinner with them at Food Republic.

Met them at My Playground. If im not wrong, My Playground was set up not long ago. There’s a shop-Mika(#03-087), which sells DIY Shoes just like Minou Shoe Shop located at Far East. One of the shoes at Mika sold at $79. It is so expensive was because the shoes are made of leather. This shop is opened by a couple- Carol and Dennis, who were at ICON(Bugis) previously.

After retail therapy, we went to archade. Played the basketball machine. How i wish there’s such machine in my house. Then, Mandy and I went to play the percussion set. It was so fun as we can really hit hard on the surface.
At around 720pm, we went to Food Republic for dinner. I didnt know that the place was renovated to become a library cum food court. I really like the whole atmosphere there. Ordered the Hokkien Mee.

$4.00

was chatting with my friends about going overseas. I dont mind going Taiwan again especially Alishan. During the 10 days of holiday, i stayed at Taipei and didnt have chance to go to Kao Ksiong. I think if i got the chance to go Taiwan again, i will visit one of the 民宿. One of them will be Farm Guest House-Kenting. It costs S$120-S$150 for a room. Just as i like Walls moo moo icecream, i like the moo moo theme of the Guest House.

Watched 王子变青蛙? One of the shootings was at 小徑民宿.

It costs S$150-S$200 for a room. One special part of 小徑民宿 is that there is a room called boat house(船屋) The whole ambience allows the visitors to relax and get rid of the stress of the moment.

The two recommendations will surely make your taiwan trip more memorable! =)
