Taiwan - Yang Ming Shan

I'll not be writing about the whole of my Taiwan trip over the Chinese New year as not the whole trip was enjoyable. But I did enjoy myself at some places :) The oldies decide to visit Yang Ming Shan National Park (陽明山國家公園). It's a garden, full of many many many flowers! Not forgetting the Cherry Blossom that are going to be full blown in few weeks time. The pictures shall do the talking on how the National Park looks like.

Lastly, not to forget the cherry blossom!

And to end off, a photo of me with the cherry blossom in the background to show that I've really been there :p

If you're intending to go Taiwan during the flower season, do checkout what flower is it. You won't want to miss it as they bloom beautifully!

Kukup Trip 16-17Nov

Went for a super short 2D1N trip with my mum and her cousins to Kukup, Malaysia, sometime after my paper. It was a great trip though it was short. We went in a group of 10 pax so we had a mini van to get us to Kukup. In between we had breakfast stop, went to some temple, gotten some fireworks, headed for lunch at Kukup follow by the kelong tour. A group photo after lunch while waiting for our ferry to the kelong for the tour

During our kelong tour, most of us wasn't really paying attention. I pity the little boy doing the tour.

While waiting for our ferry back to land, we decide to camwhore

Our apartment for 2D1N

With a really big living room

The view just outside our living room

We got comfortable & it's own time own target till dinner time, so I had mahjong!

Our bbq dinner~

Highlight of the night.

Setting off floating lanterns,

Plus fireworks!

You can create your own national day they if you want.

Follow by bedtime. 

Mum & cousins prefer to sleep on the floor with the mattress like how they use to when they were young

Day 2 was just breakfast + lunch and it's time to head back home.

But before we leave our kampong house, a last "family" photo.

If you're really thinking of going to Kukup for a short trip like this, gather your friends and go together. It was less than $100/pax, including transport from Singapore + 2 lunch for 2 days + 1 bbq dinner + 1 breakfast + accommodation.

Have fun~ 

Update for the month of Nov, which has ended

Nov was the start of my holiday but yet it was a pretty pack month.
Went over to Batam after my papers for a short getaway. Was staying at Holiday Inn Hotel and I got a free room upgrade to a 2 bedroom suite. Gosh. What to do with the extra room. Had good massage at a reasonable price, or maybe slightly lower. I guess I finally understood why people always head over to Batam for a good massage.

After coming back from Batam, took a week of break in Singapore and I'm headed to Kukup in Malaysia. It was a pretty nice trip. We get to put our own firework had really good meals and staying just by the seaside. Really kampong style and I do love it. Will write another post about the trip instead.

Apart from the travelling, I lost someone dear to me. It was heartbreaking. But it's part of a process in life, everyone has to go through it. Took some time to deal with it and it wasn't easy.
Dear Nov, you haven't really been nice to me. Dear Dec, please be nicer then Nov am to me.
