Jing Lun as my tour guide >.<"
Lol, getting so lazy to post entries nowadays. Was so glad when Wenbin AKA AK SiaO said he will be coming in a few days time. Anyway, that was last week. He and one of his friend got here a few days back. Was so happy to have someone to entertain me. Haha. I met up with them 2 days ago, and brought them to Wufenpu to buy some clothes. His friend, Marcus was daring enough when we suggest to him to buy the sky blue colored berms. And in fact, he actually wore it that evening. We went back to their hotel to leave behind the clothes and Marcus changed into his new berms immediately. Lol. We were joking about how gay he looks in it.



Their hotel looks more gay though.. It seems to me that the management is trying to get the image of a love hotel. Lol. Heart shape cushion pillow!! This room cost S$90 a night. Looks kinda small and i don't really think its worth it to pay that amount for such a small room.. They are going to downgrade to a much smaller one that is going to cost them S$50. I wonder how small is it going to be. >.<" After changing and getting ready, which took quite a while as Mr Marcus is quite the vain type.
In the evening, we met up with Wenbin's friend, aka Mr Huang Jing Lun from the current 超級星光大道第三. At first, i thought he would be kinda stuck up, like most "almost there but not there yet" semi celebrities. But when he saw us, he greeted us immediately with a smile and hello and humbly introduce himself and shook hands with me and Marcus. Why did i say he was my tour guide? Cause he brought me to different parts of Shilin night market. Introduce me very very nice desserts and finger food. We had our dinner at the part of the night market that sells food. Had ourselves Beef Chop and Marcus who is a Buddhist couldn't have Beef so he got himself a Lamb Chop, which was NT$250, NT$100 more than ours. I didn't know lamb is so expensive. >.<" After the heavy dinner ( which wasn't eaten in peace ), as his facial features is quite outstanding, Jing Lun is recognise easily by TV viewers..


One was taken while we were thinking of what to eat, while the other was when we went into the busier part of the Shilin Nightmarket. I think taiwanese fans approach their idol or someone they admire more commonly than singaporeans.. While singaporean fans are more laidback. After the heavy Beef Chop, he introduced us to some very delicious onion rings and beef rings. OMG~~! The beef rings are wonderful, the best food i have ever eaten in taiwan. We got extra portion as the vendors, who are young people, watch 超級星光大道 quite regularly. They recognise him, but were very polite and didn't ask for any photos to be taken. The portion is really extra.. Overflowing from the little packet that was given.. >.<" So generous! Then we went for to eat ice. Yeah, ice which doesn't look like ice ka chang. The texture is not really like those ice cream but not like ice ka chang either.

It tastes good, very good indeed. So many flavours to choose from, and though i have always walked past this stall every time i drop by Shilin Nightmarket. I didn't bother to go in to check it out. And again, the busy part of Shilin Nightmarket, we were stopped again, even though we asked him to lower his head and walk. I think it's his nose, makes him so much more easy to recognise. >.< After chatting with him for quite a while, i found out that he took part in NTU Impresario too. For both the solo and duet category. I dono what happened. But he told me, he didn't even made it through the first round for the solo category and only made it to the semi finals for the duet category. He remembered i sang Shi Jie Wei Yi De Ni for the semi at Causeway point. Even though there is only 5 groups for the duet on that day, i didn't really remember seeing him on that day. Maybe i was too nervous about my own performance and the contestants in the solo category.. Funny how singporean judges cannot see the talent sometimes. Like him, didn't even got through the first round but made it to the top5 of 超級星光大道3 and chances of winning it is quite high too. And the other girl from Project Superstar, got booted out but went to HongKong won a competition and is now a famous singer. Rong Zhu Er is the name, i think. Anyway, i was more surprised when he said he remember me singing 最长的电影 for the singapore's first round 超級星光大道 audition. Even remembered my audition number, 42 or something, which even i forgot. So Wenbin and i was joking that he is gay. Haha. Of course he is not. >.<" Thought i would get in and come to taiwan, but i guess i screwed it up for the second round. ArgH!! Wny must my voice always cork up when i am having auditions!! Is it stress that makes a person sick easily?! I guess so. So after, stuffing ourselves with all we can eat, he took us to the back of the night market which is more for playing with those "Pasar Malam stalls that gives you soft toy when you win some kinda games" area. We went into the building and played some pool. Which cost about NT$150 for an hour.

All the pools in taiwan have very nice looking balls. Lol. So bright and colourful like the clothes they wear. Unlike the dull looking ones we get in singapore. >.<" After an hour of pool, we all got tired and decided to head home..
Yesterday, i woke up at 5pm.. Half my day was gone, and i rushed through my shower and brushed my teeth. Called Wenbin immediately to meet up. Just nice, Marcus and him finished shopping and is back at their hotel. So we met up for an early dinner. Boring food as usual.. Singapore's food is definitely better for me. Taiwan's main dishes isn't as nice as singapore's, but their finger food is definitely the better one. After dinner, they said they wanted to check out Luo Zhixiang AKA Xiaozhu's clothes store. So we went looking for it. Yes, though he is famous in taiwan, not many people know where is his store.. We asked around and finally managed to find it.. Its not in Ximending itself.. But 10 minutes walk from it. He makes so much money, his clothes are selling at sky high prices, i wonder why is his store in this area.. Totally out of place..




The design is pretty good. The store is very very small. And the tshirts they are selling only have like, 15 designs? Lol. And most of the tshirts are selling at NT4800. Thats S$218? wOW!~ I think only a die hard fan would spend that amount to have the one STAGE on their tshirt..
Marcus was craving for clubbing, and since it was wednesday night, i introduce him to Club Lava, which is NT$600 for all you can drink. Wenbin didn't want to go and i can't believe Marcus could actually still go alone.. I mean i have never went clubbing alone.. The feeling must be weird.. So he went back to the hotel to get ready while Wenbin and i called up Jing Lun to find out where he is. He just finished some recording for XiaoZhu, AKA Luo Zhixiang's show. So we decided to meet at Miramar shopping centre.. Its a damn wulu place.. The Metro is still being set up there. And the nearest station at the moment is the one at Shilin NightMarket.. And from the station to the shopping centre, it costs NT$200plus, which means that it is quite far away.. I dono why there is even any buildings around there. So wulu.. The reason why we went there is because we wanted to take the ferris wheel. Yes, singapore also have their own right now. The Singapore Flyer. But its quite ex in singapore, compared to this one..


And its build on top of the shopping centre. Nice. Jing Lun came, but somehow we didn't bother to take the ride anymore.. Cause he introduce us to baseball!!~ I thought he was getting too stress from the competition and was talking crap. Baseball now?! In this area?! Yeah..

Just behind the shopping centre, is this baseball centre. NTS200 for 6 tokens. 1 token is allowed to play 21 balls.. The balls come out a machine and you can choose the speed your ball is coming towards you. lowest is 80km/h to 140km/h. The ones with the lowest speed had quite alot of people queueing up, so we decided to play the one with the speed of 110km/h.. It was too fast for us.. I missed alot of the shots..


Its very cheap and very fun.. Jing Lun didn't expect such a crowd there so he didn't really bother with wearing a cap or something to disguise him. So while queueing up, fans came up and took pictures with him again. Lol.





Decided to take some silly pics ourselves too. The famous pose of his. Looking at the sky, like Bae Young Jun. Wahaha.. And thats Wenbin. =D After playing for quite sometime, i dono why, we went to his hotel. Wulu!!~ How come they are staying at such a wulu place. Lol. The room he and Sugie share is very very messy.. Everything on the floor and couch. Lol. A guy dominatiing room. Sugie wasn't around, so we just slack in the room and watched some tv and listen to some of his edited version of minus one tracks. Some which he will be singing and some that he already sang. only 2 and 1/2 mins per song. So editing the right part is very important. He said he sang a dance song with some dance moves for the upcoming episode. Lol. He doesn't look like the sort that can dance, so i asked why he chose that song. He chose Nicholas Tse's Bu Ai Tiao Wu.. So meaningful.. Cause he doesn't like to dance. >.< Anyway, staying inside the room got boring for me after awhile and i suggested DOTA. LOl. Like most guys in singapore, they couldn't stand the invitation of playing computer games, so they agreed. Jing Lun wanted to play somewhere nearer to his area so that going back won't be such a problem. In the end, we went to the cybercafe i always frequent and played till 7am in the morning. Haha.. We got owned throughout the night. HAhaha. I think he is going to be cursing and swearing. So many things to do today and he still play DOTA till this morning. Lol. Getting owned is boring, i really hope my DOTA is good one day. Lol.

A beautiful chinese chess set his fan gave him. Just because he said something about chinese chess or something.. I wonder if he says his lappy is an old and lousy one. Will they get him a new one. Haha.
