Venue: 菁桐,平溪,十分,101,国父纪念馆;SM专卖店; ChingTong, PingXi, ShiFen, 101, Sun Yat Sen Memorial hall ; SM authorized shop

Wake up at 7.30am…Brain was quite blur at this morning…. Due to not really can sleep well since was wake up by a call to Terrance at 3am.. I was thinking my alarm rang or others iphone  alarm rang… swt…
Thank goodness we able to catch up the bus to Taipei this morning at 9am… Ale(the Mexican girl) nvr contact me and I forget to get contact no from her as well, so she didn’t join us for the trip.. Nick still suffered from diarrhea*pity him… Unfortunately, we have an hour to walk around in the Taipei main station due to we unable to make it for the train to Ruifang瑞芳 at 10.45am.. have to wait for next round at 11.45am..because of that, I finally know how to see the schedule from the booklet *special thanks to the uncle who help us to buy the tickets…
Walking around the main station…Looking for the money exchanger as well*but since is Sunday, so is closed…  Took a pamphlet about PingXi平溪 at the information counter*the aunty at the counter can speak so many languages, daebak!... Saw a Malay in MacD and realize that I had not seen a Malay nearly 2 months… Finally manage to catch the train to Ruifang and the train is very PACK.. Get to know Tony,a handicapped passenger who want to go KaoXiong…
As all in my plan, reached RuiFang Station and bought the tickets for this Pingxi trip *NT$52 for the whole trip, where you can ride on the train how many times as u wish for the day…  So, start with my 1st station as planned*which was the last station in Pingxi lane--- QingTong 菁桐.. cam here because of the movie /那些年> well, the train station where the main actor and actress got their romantic dating there LOL…. *This trip definitely a nice place for couples to have their dates XP.. There is a LOVER BRIDGE here, according to the grandma who sell the icecream*the ice cream stall even visited by SuperJunior M members-Siwon, Donghae ,Sungmin and ZhouMi oppa*, she said that once u walked through this bridge, you can get married/a bf in 3 months… Hahhahah, we’ll see then... I guess the Nick’s probability is the highest among us.. XP Ah zai, HWAITING! The souvenir shops in Qingtong old streets are quite nice especially which sell a lot of postcards here*aiks, if I know earlier, I will get the special 1 for you, brother *

Wil Ang, post card here nice as well =)
Due to tied schedule, we only spend around 1hr there… After that, around 2.10pm, we get in the train again to Pingxi平溪..Pingxi is the place well known of the Kong Ming lantern*天灯/孔明灯.. The lantern where you wrote ur wishes on it and light up the middle part*theory of hot air balloon, and the lantern rise higher and higher… With the hope of God will see the wishes that we wrote and fulfill you dream… Visited the 石底桥, *the main actor confessed to actress on the bridge =)... After that we decided to have our lunch 1st before getting our lantern.. We need heavy food to recharge back energy =) but too bad there are two shops that sell heavy food---sausage… and due to long queue and slow services, Boa and Vera queue up for 1hr for the sausage.. ==!!! Ruined up my plan.. sigh… while waiting for another trip of the train, we had our lantern as well! =) wrote down our LAME wishes*like getting a bf/get marry/ London Olympics and etc and let it go!!! Well, hoping God will saw our wishes…
again with my girl friend =)
石底桥--the bridge in the movie =)
Yam pudding that well known in pingxi( 芋圆)
大肠包小肠-sausages that let us waited for 1 hr++ ==
Got up the train heading to Shifen十分… reached there is already 4.50pm *aiks, the sausage ruined up my plan =(  , earlier plan is to watch sunset at JiuFen 九份, but we couldn’t make it, so, watch the sunset at the waterfall then… The old street in shifen is very nice as well.. Many people letting go the lantern on the railway track.. the most creative part is where some of them put the firecracker on the lantern, so, the lantern looks even more beautiful than the normal one =)  Walked for half an hour, passing by the coal museum and pay NT$70 for entrance fees of waterfall…  hmm.. the waterfall is nice, with the peaceful surrounding—some animals, small garden, so, many visitors with their family having their own sweet time over there… get back to the shifen old street at 6.30pm.. the lantern looks even more beautiful when the sky started to turn dark.. No appetite to eat dinner, so, I skipped dinner then.. and my sickness getting worst.. Flu getting worst and I started to feel dizzy.. ahh… the thing is we have to wait for 1 hr again for the train back to Ruifang station.. Nick,Boa and Vera will get back to trainee house after this because Nick need to consult a doctor.. Me and Agnes will go to Jiufen for the nightview and old street…
group photos =)
2day background is always the railway track =)
I found the rainbow again =)
The waterfall
the creepy 1 hiding*remind me on the chao's photo
shifen old street in the night seem very beautiful..
However, we found the bus stand to jiufen but the taxi driver suggest us not to go there since already 8.30pm because the shops at the old streets almost closed.. Well, got no choice then, we walked around at the Ruifang town and had our dinner at the food street nearby*I had 鲁肉饭pork slices rice… Get into train to Taipei at 9.40pm.. I got fever and flu already, whole body feel so tired.. Aiks, so, I decided to cancel my plan to SanXia old street and ShiDa night market the next day, will get back to trainee house after visit the SM authorized shop…
Get to Taipei 101 tower.. Followed BanNan line板南线 to shizheng station 市政站 and walk for 10min ++ you will be seeing the 101 tower.. Thought that the night life in Taipei will be better, but unfortunately, Taiwanese are very discipline, we even feel some difficulties to get a place to stay for whole night.. Get in MacD but we are not allow to sleep.. aiks, lucky Agnes can nap for a while because her back facing the staff, If I fall asleep, it will be too obvious then.. My flu getting worst because lack of sleep… Around 4.30am, we went back to 7eleven nearby because I really need a rest.. Nap for 3 hrs, and tried to get a way to the Sun Yet Sen memorial hall by feet*because from the map, it seem near and we can save some transport fee as well but both of us lost somewhere and somehow have to get back to MRT station to the memorial hall.. LOL… *finally I manage to exchange my RM to NT; Agnes, sorry to let ypu wait for me..

Manage to get to the memorial hall.. I managed to watch the ceremony by honor guards in the memorial hall and also the water fountain with music  … But too bad, I not really enjoy everything because my body is too tired due to the flu and fever.. Heading to SM authorized shop, it is situated at许昌街, XuChang street near Taipei Main Station.. and we made it! Reached there and was attracted by all the SM product.. aiks, too bad DBSK section is too small T^T feel so down.. I din buy many things, just bought two I.AM badges.. well, I refuse to buy the album, still wishing to get the 1st press
with sun yat sen!
honor guards~
No camera/snapshot allowed~ HHAHA but we took a photo~ LOL

Then, back to the station and get a bus to back to HsinChu.. Agnes rushing to back for the summer camp meeting.. Due to the fever and flu, I straight away sleep with blanket cover the body*I feel too cold although the weather is warm* after ate medicine… The rest of the day not important, just sleep and rest the whole day..
