Fifth week in Taiwan

Basically, I have nothing to write for the fifth week because I didn't go anywhere :(

I was back to my second host family and I actually got used to it except there was this still unacceptable which was the smoking problem lol.

14th December 2015 - 20th December 2015

Ohh, forgot to tell one very important thing! I cooked for the host family!

So proud of myself heh

But I only cooked for 2 days consecutively lah, didn't cook for the whole week hahaha if not I'll die wth

Didn't managed to take photos of my dishes cos it was quite embarrassing to ask everyone to wait for me to take photos first haha

However, I took one! For the most important of all - Bak Kut Teh

Actually I took the photo of Bak Kut Teh after they finished eating lolol so no difference also



The Bak Kut Teh that I cooked, I know it looks oily :/ But it tasted okay heh

Christmas Party with the class 701! Received presents and feeling very pleased :)
Violin performance!


With the students!
Group shot with the kids

Steamboat with another class and I enjoyed eating the 沙茶酱 a lot omg!
That day was Friday, so my host family brought me to 板桥 to see the lights.

But I don't seemed to be fascinated hahahaha because I think Pavilion, KL one is nicer. 



The fake Venice hahaha Genting one or Venetian one better
This is the card that class 701 made it for me! Too many wishes, I cannot :/


During this weekend, I didn't go for a day trip. Instead, my host family brought me to Costco - an American supermarket.

I wasn't fascinated until I saw the food section. OMG, HEAVEN!

Why I said so? Because they have lots of testing stalls and they weren't stingy at all, trust me. All meat were in huge pieces.

I tried few of' them, but I only took one of the sushi photo.

Tadaaa!
Huge piece, isn't it?

And it was freaking thick hahaha. Many people queued for it but we were standing on the first. By the time the people from behind wanted to try, also habis, cos everyone's been taking and taking.

US supermarket memang ada quality. Lol

Look at all the sushi, so deliciously packed!
The big packs of snacks


After we done the groceries shopping, we had our lunch at the outside of the counter.

They have this small stalls selling western food. Small stall but huge crowd.
So I ended up eating this.

Hot dog!
It was initially bun and the hot dog, but they provide unlimited onions, pickles, and sauces.
I squeezed the sauces that I like as you can see above - mustard, tomato and many raw minced onions.

So delicious. Hmm

Soon after we left, the host family decided to bring me to their hometown. We bought Ginger Duck (it isn't really tasted like ginger, it was more like herbs)

The place where they sell Ginger Duck - most famous in Long Tan
Their hometown was just next to Long Tan - it is called Ping Zhen 平镇

About 15 mins to reach, started to prepare for dinner.

There were lots of relatives and I wasn't really awkward though hahaha But I was quiet all time.

We had steamboat with the soup from ginger duck. I think they sort of ruined it cos they want more of the soup, so they added rice wine (the chinese one) to it. The taste wasn't bad la, but it was full of alcohol taste. I saw some of the kids started to have blushes on their cheeks.

That was too much of wine I think. It would be better if they don't add too much to it.

Here's a picture of their hometown, quite kampung but okay la since it's hometown
Went back home at approximately 9 pm and had some dessert that they bought from the supermarket

Ice cream waffles!

It was damn good, no joke. 
This was my second host family's house. I forgot to take the picture last time. So here's it.

Yeap, so that's it for the fifth week!

Bye!

 Lots of love,

Future Macau trip :)

My holidays have not been productive. I am going to be so dead But today I came across to Airasia website and saw the air tickets are so cheapppp!  And I feel sorry for myself if I don't book it hahahahah That's why I booked! :D  I bought two flight tickets for me and ozy to go to Macau, and each person only costed 98 bucks omgggg :O  Less than 100 I can go and bang my head lol  I asked in the whatsapp group and see if anybody wants to join us. Unfortunately no one wants to join.  Luckily me and ozy booked it early because the air ticket price fluctuates so much until it costed 281 bucks at the next second.  Now, I don't think we can find cheap flights also.  Probably all cheap tickets were being rampas until it became expensive already.  Remembered back when was my last time going to Macau. I think it was 4 years back, I was 16 years old.  The photos I took when I was there. Heh :D  I can't wait for the trip but there are so many things...

A lesson

This Wednesday, was my friend's birthday. 15 of us from the class went to celebrate for her birthday in Secret Recipe in Kl sentral. We had this 1 hour break and we decided to spend that 1 hour to celebrate my friend's friend. We didn't know it wasn't enough actually. We were late to our maths replacement class. All 15 of us were being locked out of the class and we need a pink slip (which is a tardiness slip) to enter the class. We discussed and hesitated at the corridor outside of the class. Finally, we made up our mind for not attending the replacement class. The main main main reason was because of the pink slip. Frankly speaking, if he didn't ask for the pink slip, I would have just enter the class. I don't mind being scolded by him. I went back home early that day, after we decided to skip his class. I know, I know this was a very irresponsible act of us, and of course, from the view of a lecturer, we are very disrespectful. We all know that. We f...
