Pu Li Winery and Counting down at taipei101

still having motion sickness when we were on our way down from the mountain.
i 'm lousy.
i was feeling so terrible i cried at the carpark, refusing to step into the car again.
lousy me.

met up with another of my parents' friend at the pu li winery.

mother deng works there.
she gave me this power massage which blew away all my motion sickness :)
but still, i was pale like ghost.

many good wine related foodie there...
but i was too sick to eat anything or drink any of the wine.
=(

then it was time to get back to taipei...

we arrived at taipei around 6pm. after loads of rushing here and we went for a delicious korean bbq meal treated by zhen sui auntie near her place.

the usual side dishes... BIGGER serving and MORE variety than those in SG!

not to mention, FRESHER!

kimchi seafood steamboat. DA bomb. =D~~~~~


THEN we finally went to taipei 101 for the countdown concert!!!

for years, my family always tune in to the countdown concert at taipei 101 on cable tv in singapore.
and NOW we are there!!!!
didn't manage to take pictures cos my daddy didn't trust us with the camera in the crowd.
=(

the 50 000 strong crowd there was....... ho ho HOT.
really hot. in the sense of temperature.
despite the cold weather, everyone was squeezing so close to each other i reckon it was at least 30 degrees standing in the crowd.
im not a mandarin pop person so i hardly knew any song
but what the heck! the atmospehere was great!
and because of the cool dry weather, it wasn't that bad being sandwiched.
and besides, my thick winter clothings helped to cushion the falls. hoho.

then when it was time for the taipei 101 fireworks.... all i can say is that it was magnificent!



i was there!
so close to it!
i could hear it!
it seemed so close i ducked whenever the fireworks appears like its gonna burst in my face.

and then some idiot in the crowd lit a hand held firework next to me and i went deaf for a few minutes.
if u were there and u heard 2 people screaming FUCK YOU at the top of their voice, thats me and my sister.

because of the crowd, we walked back from taipei 101 to yongkang street... man... the entire walk took 1 hour plus.

we were totally shagged.
