Okay I finally have time to update on my blog about my Taiwan Trip. As it is taking ages to upload the photos, I shall start with Day 1 of my Trip for now....

Taiwan Day 1

We are taking the 12.30pm aeroplane and we reached the airport at 10.30am at Changi Airport Terminal 3. Uncle drove my father, mother, brother and myself there. Oops~! 5 pax in the car, full load. Therefore my 2nd sister took a MRT to Changi Airport to send us off.

I am taking my plane from Changi Airport Terminal 3~!

Queuing up to check in our luggage.

After Checking in our baggage, there were shops inside for us to shop while waiting for the time to arrive for boarding. There, I saw this thing showed in the picture below. It's a Gadget Charger and most importantly, it's FOC~! It's kinda cool, so I took a photo of it. It has 14 slots with different chargers. For example slot 1 is for Nokia, slot 2 is for Sony Ericsson phone, slot 3 is for Sony camera and so on. It has a key allocated to every slot, so its user can just leave their electronic gadget inside to charge and lock it with the key provided and come and claim it back once they're done with shopping and once the charging is full. Cool isn't it?

Next, we went to explore the butterfly park which we heard on the tv before. It is a new attraction built in the Changi Airport and so, we went around hunting for it and WE FOUND IT~!!!

In the butterfly park there is this nice man-made waterfall

Oops, saw my reflection in the mirror. But that's besides the point, all these things hanging there are actually the lavae and pupae of the butterflies. They are kept in there until they are mature and you can actually see them transform.... O.O <-- Look at my big eyes. It's sure eye-opening for me to see these lavae and pupae becoz I have not seen before only in primary school science textbook when we are learning life cycle of a insect....

A close up photo of the lavae and pupae of the butterflies.

Seems like the butterflies love red flowers a lot...

Butterflies enjoying their lunch... Today's menu for them is pineapples~!

It's almost time and so we made our way to the departure hall and finally board the plane... woo~! Window seat.... I promised my bf to take pictures of the aeroplane flying up in the sky and it's view from the top in the aeroplane. So yea, I told my family I want to sit next to the window to take pictures. =)

This is the paper bag provided in case you vomit like a Merlion....

I'm sitting at the window seat~!!!

I managed to take a picture of the windsock from my seat. Woo from my geography lesson in the past, it is used to find out the direction of the wind.

That's me and my younger brother on the plane.

Woo~ It's taking off~!

It's flying~!

Wow~! See the view and the clouds~!

This is my aeroplane meal... Fei Ji Can~! Mashed Potato, Grilled Chicken, a Salad, Butterbread and biscuit. Drink: Orange Juice...

This is my brother's meal, Some kind of noodle as his main course the rest are the same as mine...

This is my mom's set... Pork Rice as the main course and the rest is the same as mine.

Mommy's food... the red drink is alcohol... i took a few sips though I'm below 18 at that point of time... Shh... It's known as 'Singapore Sling' a Made in Singapore Cocktail.

This is Cornetto Ice Cream and this is dessert~!

This is my Black Forest Flavour Ice Cream

My Ice Cream~!

See those white spots? It's formed on the window... it's ice.... the water droplets on the window became ice as it flies higher in altitude....

I'm listening to music killing time....

Upon arrival to Taiwan, we were picked up by our tour guide and board the mini bus on our way to visit the night Market. There, my brother bought a pair of Puma Shoes (real one) not imitation. We also went to try Road Side Stalls Food such as 大肠包小肠(There is original, black pepper, tom yam, spicy flavour but we tried black pepper and original flavour) it's yummy... , 爱玉冰，署条with梅子粉 etc. After shopping at the night market, we board the bus and we're on on way to our hotel for a good night's rest...

This is a fire station in Taiwan, I saw it on the bus ride on the way to our hotel.

Finally reached our hotel room... below are photos of how my hotel room looks like for the first night...

We were told that next to our hotel is a shopping centre and the Carrefour there is open 24 hours. So, we went there to buy some mineral water, soft drinks and snacks to munch and drink on the long bus ride tomorrow....

After shopping we're so hungry so went to grab a bite the the MacDonald's there and went back to the hotel to sleep. We went back to the hotel at like about 12.30am.
