Finally finished blogging about Taipei, after going MIA for more than a month. And I have not even blogged about my First Ever Bangkok Trip!!! Yes, I was too busy and also too tired. Had been working OT since April and never want to look at the computer screen again when I came home from work.
Many things happened in the month of April, good and bad. Really do not know how to start, but never mind, we go with the flow ok.
I have a great news to share, ok, not great news, it's world greatest news!!! I am no longer a lone ranger in work!!! My Sales Group merged with Group 3 and now our group has the biggest number of group members in TV Airtime Sales. Best part is I am now in the same group with Niang Niang, and we are now buddies together with Lijun and Pearlyn.
This explained my OT-ing in April. As everything as to change to the same format as Group 3, I was trying to do change all the reports that we have to submit to the same. In addition, it is target setting period. Niang Niang was busy compiling targets for both groups, and I think it is better to stay and help her in every way she needed me to. Churning out numbers, checking on numbers, checking on everyone numbers. I had a record of working to 10.30pm to 11pm every night for one whole week.
And this lead to an incident that happened to me that scared my gym family. As I had to work OT every night, I can not go for my gym classes. So Saturday is my only day which I can go workout with my gym family. I went for Jam class and Pump class as usual, and I even had a hearty breakfast, as I know I had to take 2 classes. Everything was still all right when I was in Jam class. Came Pump class and I fainted right after the 2nd track! Ya, fainted. I already felt dizzy when I put down the weight, and was trying to catch my friends' attention, but they were all loading up their weight and never notice me. Susanna saw me lying on the board in the end, but she thought I was just playing like I used to be. Pfeiffer nearly had to stop the class to attend to me. Fortunately, Julian was still around and he saw the commotion in the class. So pai sei, because so many people stopped their workout and attend to me. My gym family said I am now famous in the gym, as everyone including people doing workout outside the class and the Private Trainer all know what happen. Whenever I go to the gym now, I will have to say hello to everyone who smile at me, or asked me if I am feeling ok. Hahaha!
April was also the month for Star Awards. I had spent 2 weekends in MediaCorp and Resorts World Sentosa. Though it was tiring, I enjoyed it. This year, the concept in Resorts World was quite interesting. I was impressed that they can tied in Voyage De La Vie and came out with a circus theme.
That is how my April was.
MPP suggested this themed restaurant to us during one of the AGM, and we all agreed to go and try it out, since we have never been to it. 便所 is situated at 西门町, but it was not really easy to find, we went around a few times then we found the place. Yes, 便所 is like what it is. It is decorated just like a toilet. The seats are toilet bowls, and the table is make up of a bathtub. Not only that, the food are served in containers like sinks and toilet bowls. The food are actually quite nice, maybe we were too hungry, but overall it was quite a hearty meal.
The service in 便所 were really good. Waitress brought us to our seat, come to take our own in a short while, then food starts to serve to our table. We actually did not have to wait long, and they cleared the table once you finished. Then desserts came in after that. This shows that the waitress actually pay attention to their customers, unlike in some of the restaurants in Singapore, you have to wave hard at them then they come over and serve you.
Very nice experience, just like Hello Kitty Restaurant. You can try it out if you are planning a trip to Taipei. I have the name card above.
成品书局 is one of my favourite shops when I goes to Taiwan.
Though there are mostly Chinese books and English books are really limited there, I love to spend a few hours there to shop for my books. And not to say, I will frequent the shop more than once. Furthermore, it has a 24 hours branch!!! The books are cheaper than Singapore, and I will always have my luggages way overweight!!! How I wish I can buy all the books back and not to worry about lugguage space.
It was a very famous bookstore in Taiwan, just like Kinokuniya in Singapore. During my first trip to Taipei, I actually did not heard of it before. It was by accident that I found it. I was left alone for a few hours, as my friends wanted to go to a place that it is inconvenient for me to go with. So I went shopping alone, and went into it by chance.
After that, it is forever a Must Go place in my itinerary. Many people might think what so nice about a bookstore. There are many things you can find in the store. Not to say all sort of magazines and books, there are also stationeries and diaries.
Do go and take a look if you have time, and you will find your own 'treasure'!
