3rd taiwan trip since last year!!! - Day One

It has always been my dreams to travel to Taiwan for a holiday n a big shopping spree..
I was really excited last year as it was my first trip. But never did i ever expect that, i actually have the chance to travel to Taiwan for the second time this year.

Still as excited even though we have to bring along our work gears as we are expected to perform for the first 3 nights of our 5 days.

i took quite a number of pictures this time round and am still trying to figure out how am i gonna upload all the photos.

HAhaha, therefore, i decided to upload them on day to day basis.

Starting from the first day of course....

After much consideration, i think this is the best photo to start this blog...
A photo of Aven, Tracy and me, Taken at Changi airport right before we fly off to our destination.



Grinning from ear to ear, this trip started on a happy note.
From Singapore to Taiwan, the journey will takes about 4 hours whereby we can choose to sleep throughout the whole ride or get amused by the our very own personal Tv set in front of our seats. From movies to variety shows and even simple games, time passes quickly.

I still remembered i had a great time watching "My Sister's Keeper", a movie i had been waiting for. It was touching and i was like crying and tearing away. Hahahsha.. Luckily, I had no make up on, or else a panda is what i will become. HAhahaa

Immediately after we landed, Hao suddenly rushes off as if something important had cropped up. Soon did we realised that, he was rushing off to buy stuffs.


That was a lot of paper bags i know. Curious about what's in them???? I will show u... Haha....

CIGARETTES!!!!!

Hao said that he always do that whenever he landed at Taiwan's airport. He was helping his family members and friends to buy them. Comparing the prices of Singapore's cigarettes, they were so so so so much cheaper in Taiwan. In our country, a pack of cigarettes is equivalent to a packet of 5kg rice. So bear in mind, cigarettes from Singapore are waste of money and harmful to our bodies.. HAhaha


As we are travelling in a big group this time round, our friend had actually helped us booked a bus coach that will bring us around everyday. We had a total of 20 odd people.

From the airport to our hotel, we had to travel another 45 minutes on road. This time round, we stayed at popular inn or motel called the "薇薇汽车旅馆". Per room night stay is around S$300, but as Hao's friend is working there, we were entitled to have a best deal offered only for us. Of course, i won't get to know how much was per room night as Boss was the one paying!!! YEAH!!

Everything about the room was fantastic. It was huge and beautifully decorated. Every rooms has their own unique theme. I don't know what kind of theme my room was, but still, it was beautiful and well facilitated, even with stuffs that most hotels don't offer at all.

This Tv is a 360 degrees rotating set which provides over 200 channels for you to choose from.
The couch view............ Where you can laze around on the 贵妃椅!!!!!!!
This is definitely a very big bed enough to accomodate 3 persons.
And the best part of this rooms will be the bathing and washing up area.....The coolest bathroom ever!!!
My favorite hang out place in the room.....


No doubt, this is the Jacuzzi bath tub area with a flat Tv mounted on wall whereby u can have the most relaxing bath while watching TV or even DVDs.
A Rain shower water massage Facility as well as a sauna!!!!
Clearing your bowels in peace without getting wet....
Hahah!! That was my sis getting ready for show later on. While taking pictures of the room, i was actually left with a 15 minutes to do my make up for work. The first night was a outdoor show, just like getai in singapore., but Taiwanese called them晚会 rather than 歌台.

We were to surprised to find out that the emcee for the night was a familiar face whom you guys knew too... see if you guys can recognized him...






Its 蓝天大哥！！！
It was fun meeting him in Taiwan again of course. And he was such friendly host that he brought us around every night, Bringing us for supper and lots of shopping at the popular night market of Taiwan, Shih Lin Night Market. As we finished our Getai quite late, we had to bear with short shopping timing for the first night. Below are some of the nice food we ate ..... I missed them!!!!

The popular Oyster Mee Suah

My sister's favorite: Duck tongue and neck!!!

BBQ Corn with a little of spicy taste... Delicious

Crispy 手抓饼

Of course we ate more than that, but as we were too hungry, we finished some of them before i remembered to take photos of them for you guys.. HAha...

Anyway, there are more to come in the few next posts about this taiwan trip.

Stay Tuned People....

Change of details for BBJM performance at NTUC club

From the effect of this month November, BBJM and Hao will be performing at Scarlet City [AMK Hub, level 4] and Jess D' Place[CCK, next to Lot One shopping, level 3] on every Wednesday and Thursday respectively.

I was just starting to worry that i will have lesser time for getai even more as our Tuesday NTUC has been changed to Thursday. Because of that, i have already canceled few getais already... Being Thursday closer to weekends, it will definitely have more stages than Tuesday. Therefore, resulting to me rejecting stages from Getai Boss which will eventually piss them off. But there is nothing i can do about it.

Comparing Getai and NTUC clubs, there is always different effects on BBJM.
I realized, after many years of singing getai and club, we always have more room for improvement when we starting to sing club. Singing getai alone, makes us slacken quite abit as there is no proper chance for us to learn new songs. And not to mention that there are songs that few bands in getai can't played well at all. [not pinpointing at all bands lah :)]

In clubs, we are pushed to do special shows often which will in turn allow us to learn even more new stuffs. But Getai is different. The only thing we singers worry about is whether will we be able to get the next stage on time. There is no way that we can perform properly or to our best standards. Alot of us even tried to cut short songs. Haha..

Every Wed and Thurs in clubs, we have a total of 3 sets of 45mintues to conquer. We definitely have ample time to communicate with our audience and making sure that our 45 mintues show are up to standard.

But no matter what, i still enjoyed Getai.

Looking on the bright side, i can always continue to improve myself in Clubs and perform better in getais.

Cheers
