Taiwan Exchange Trip Part 11

I took hell lots of photos in Taiwan and there are some which I didn post on my blog.

Thus, this will be an entry that will make up of the several of these miscellaneous photos! Haha.

Okay, I got to admit! A few of the photos are from YiXiong! 

Had our crazy share of fun during the Mid Autumn Festival in Taiwan when we seem to be like the only people living in TsingHua because the semester still has not begun! Bought mooncakes from Starbucks and camwhored with them! I know we look silly in the photo. That is the point! 




Went singing KTV with the exchange students on a Sunday night. I left the photos of the girls out and I am too lazy to upload it again!! Hahaha.



We filled up the WHOLE public bus when we went visiting my Taiwanese friend's house in TaoYuan.



Kind of miss my previous hairstyle. Thought I look better with it. I think I look weird with bangs! Missing Ms Liao too! She is busy handling her assignments now! She needs to study really hard! A dentist in the making!!!



My exchange friends celebrated my birthday for me!! Thought they didn know about it because I had removed my birthday date from my FB profile! Had previously told one of my friends about it but I didn really expect her to remember. Nevertheless, I was pleasantly surprised. Thanks!



A really nicely taken photo by YiXiong. Love it so much! Decied to post it on my blog.


 
Camwhored with Singaporean friends after class.




The lake in TsingHua.



The tree and it's pink flowers. 




 Doing push ups EVERYDAY along the corridor with my friends from Korea and Hongkong. I believe many living on our level thinks that we are crazy!  I hope to have a nicer built to look better in clothes. I am really thin. Be expected to see a difference when I return to Singapore, friends! HAHAH!




Took a photo with Jackie from Hongkong when we went for a movie together.



The hostel of the girls from Singapore. I wonder why they dont wish to hang their clothes in the balcony! Take a look at their room. It's much better than ours!



Ah Kit and I demonstrating our 秋冬时尚穿搭 when we are in Taipei! Trying our very best to beat the Taiwanese guys! Hahaha.  





Outfit for one of the day.



Notice the similarities between us.


Folded pants are a hit among all exchange students!! HAHAH!!


During a really boring class---陶谢诗集选. Please take a look at the number of people who are fast asleep.  The guy in the black jacket seems really attentive. However, he is actually reading his Chemical Engineering book! I dont think anyone pays attention during this class. I guess I am probably the most attentive student!



Went to 南寮 again with some of my friends who didn went there previously. The scenery is still as gorgeous.



Hosted an event in TsingHua today! It's a Chinese speech competition for foreign students. I wanted to join the competition but my application was rejected. HAHAH. The prize money was just too much to resist! The winner will get 3500NT!! It's good money!

Anyway, the organisers called me yesterday and asked if I was willing to be the emcee for the event. I gladly obliged. Thought I did rather fine.

My friend from Korea won the competition!!!

I will perhaps update more about the competition the next time.









Okay, that's the end of the entry.

Updates soon!!

Feeling the stress from assignments and mid terms now~!!!

Taiwan Exchange Trip Part 10

It was a boring weekend last week because I had to study for my Japanese test on Sunday.

Thus, my friends and I decided to visit 内湾! It's a town in HsinChu.

Took the train to the place! The train is really colourful!






Finally arrived at 内湾老街! After being in Taiwan for 2 months, my friends and I start to feel that all 老街/夜市 seem to be selling the same stuff except for some local specialities! It reminds me of Singapore where you can find a shopping mall just beside every MRT station! HAHAHA. In taiwan, it's just a shoppoing mall that comes in a different form!! Hahha.





Went to fill our stomachs after we walked for a short while!! I was really hungry. Didn bother to take photos of our food. Instead, I took photos of our dessert!





Our desserts may look really tasty but they are not really that tasty!! Hahah!!!

After having our desserts, we made our way to the famous attraction of 内湾----The 吊桥! HAHAH!

From our attire, I bet you can see that it was really warm that day! The weather in HsinChu is just crazy!!






Spend some time there taking photos but I am too lazy to post them all up!!!

The beautiful sunset view from the train when we are returning back to school!!!

Credits to YiXiong for taking the photo while we were all fast asleep!! HAHHA.



It was Deepavali that day and we celebrated it with our Indian friends!!  Had fun playing with the sparkles!!! The Indians sang and dance to their songs really happily!!




Okay. That's the end!!

I am starting to have assignements and mid terms!! Darn!! They are making my exchange life sad!! Hahhaa. I need to complete so many assignments and I still have my marketing presentation!!

The weather in HsinChu is crazy and I have to check the weather forcast everyday before I decide what to wear for classes!!

Lastly, thanks to Yixiong for lending me the orange top! Wanted to give the colour a try because I dont really have any shirts of that colour. Thought it looked fine on me!!! Ha.

Updates soon!!!

Visiting Taipei this week again!!!
