I went to watch it during Raya holidays when both me and my dear had nothing to do in town. Well, the movie turned out quite entertaining. I like the movie despite of the unknown male lead actor. I have no idea who is he. The only celebrity I knew in that movie was Rose McGowan who potrayed as a witch in the film.
Hmmm at least this film was far better than Final Destination 5, I think. But do not pose a high expectation from the film which might disappoint you if it turns out other way round.
Anyway, I was like a small kid, jumping up and down.....Wait, I didn't really jump but feeling excited? yes, I was. I was so excited to see the koala bear, Kangaroo, camel and of course, the cute panda. Seems like I never saw these animals before. Bingo! I never been to Australia or a desert out there to see the camel and kangaroo aside from the photos. But my dear was feeling bored and kept complaining because of the hot weather and the long walk. Couldn't blame him as his whole shirt was getting wet and he felt very uncomfortable in it.
After a cursory glance at those animals, we went to MaoKong. MaoKong is located near to Taipei Zoo, around 15 minutes walk. Both of us love the name of MaoKong. We first came across the name of Maokong was from Hiyawu's novel. So we were curious what's actually in store up there in Maokong since the name itself sounds very romantic. The cable car ride to MaoKong took longer than Genting's cable car. There are few stops on the way to uphill. Nothing interesting in MaoKong except tea tasting and scenery viewing. But many couples went there for dating. Maybe because of its romantic name and scenery, I guess. 
Will I go there again? Nope. I hate the long hours cable car ride and long hours of MRT ride to Taipei Zoo station. We need to change the MRT routes and yeah, Taipei Zoo station is at the last stop. Please get off at Taipei Zoo station if you are going to MaoKong. 
If you are going during summer time, that is between June - August, you MUST bring along your sunblock (strong UVA/UVB protection or high SPF) and umbrella. Trust me, the weather was scorching hot! Plus those sea breeze! I was getting so dark and sweat profusely there. But the breathtaking scenery really worth it all. Wait, it was also enlisted in the '100 places must visit' and heard the rumours saying that the Queen Head's neck is getting thinner and going to drop in another few years so better be fast to visit the Queen Head before its gone. They even made a fake Queen Head (you'll see the fake Queen Head in there too).
Walking down the old street is like walking down the memory lane. Bringing back all the old memories and nolstagia. Jiu Fen is known for its old street and shops, located at uphill. It’s a small ‘lorong’ with rows of shops on both sides. Then you need to climb up and down the stairs. You wouldn’t get lost in there because it is only one street and damn crowded with tourists. How do you know whether you have reached Jiu Fen or not? Easy, when you see the big crowd and a 7-11 convenience shop, then you are in the right place.
Jiu Fen is famous for its fish ball soup. Trust me, it’s really damn nice and if not because of the crowd, I might want to have another bowl. I like Jiu Fen and thinking of going there again but my dear said, “It’s damn far. Need to take bus and change bus again. It’s a tiring trip to Jiu Fen.” Okay, I agreed with him on this. So if you are first time travel to Taiwan, Jiu Fen is definitely one of the attractions that you should pay a visit to. Despite the big crowd, Jiu Fen is actually worth to go as it has lots of nice food to eat and things to shop. You can take pictures with the tradition style of shops and their old street which will give you a feeling of nostalgia. 
Don't you think that spending an hour is enough in Jiu Fen? Wrong. It almost took us around 3 hours in Jiu Fen. You need more than 3 hours if want to explore in depth of Jiu Fen. We only managed to have a cursory glance at Jiu Fen.
Is understandable if you say Taipei 101 is a landmark of Taiwan because it is widely known for its height and the lift is moving like a lightning, *puffffff* and there we were, in 89 floors! It took like 1 minute or 2 minutes to reach up there. Somemore, there’s a pretty Taiwanese girl whom they called them “Miss Lift” spoke in three different languages, Chinese, English and Japanese. I only know that there is a Miss Lift in Japan but surprisingly, Taiwan also have. Actually, there’s nothing fun or things to see up there except the view and experiencing the height. You need to pay around NT380 per person (if not wrong, I kind of forget the actual price) for a round trip up there so the most recommended time to go was at night where you can have a pretty night view of Taipei. 
This damper is so damn cute!!! I want to bring one back home ~
I didn’t know the whole story of Chinese history. Just heard a bit of the stories here and there. Heard of their *BIG* names but didn’t really know who the heck are them. So we went to C.K.S. Memorial Hall to snap some photos and the sunset view. I only knew that the monument man sitting in there was someone great and famous in history. So I just continued my photos snapping and glad to meet three cute Japanese girls asking me to help them take photos. They couldn’t speak English and I couldn’t speak Japanese so we were like a mute person using hand signal. It was funny when I tried to speak English to them and they only understand one word of vocabulary in there. It was even funnier when they saw my ‘White Knight’ – Lumix GF-1. I understand their Japanese, ‘Sugoiiii dess ne’!!! *I added the last two words myself* That’s because they were using digital camera. But I was surprised with their reaction because Panasonic is a Japanese brand so they supposed to know or see Lumix GF-1 before instead of looking at my white knight like first time seeing it. Another thing surprised me; they didn’t want to take photos with the scenery behind. They just want me to zoom and focus on their faces only without the background scenery. I was like ‘huh’ and lots of ????? on my head.
The kids nowaday are so blissful. I saw many tables at Hello Kitty Sweets Restaurant, where the parents brought their kids there to celebrate birthday or just to make them happy. My first impression on this restaurant was "Okay, it is a hello kitty theme restaurant. *shrug* No big deal. Besides I am not a fan to hello kitty. The food might not taste good too. It is famous because of its decoration and a cat without mouth." And it had proven me wrong on the food part. The meal served not only looked so cute and pretty but it tasted GOOD too!!! Especially their cakes! So if you are travelling to Taiwan, you really got to visit to this Hello Kitty Sweets Restaurant. The girls will love it and the guys, hmmmm, will love it too when seeing so many cute, pinkish in there. lolz. The meal comes in a set, from appetizer, main course to dessert with free drink. Price?? Ranging from NT330 - NT600 per set.
I dropped by the restaurant twice. Yes, you heard me right. TWICE! I need to take the MRT back and forth. First time went there was around 11am and I thought "so early and the restaurant just open, so impossible to get crowd at this hour." I was wrong! =.= There's a queue at the entrance already. Most people had made their table reservation while we did not. We were not used to make table reservation at other country or when we were on travel. So I told my dear just give up and let's go. I didn't want to waste my time queuing. I am sort of impatience person. 
Then after travel to other places and taking MRT back to Ximending, I turned to my dear and asked him, "Do you think we should try other theme restaurant since we are here? Because the whole trip wouldn't be perfect if we didn't go to theme restauarant in Taiwan." Okay, he agreed with me so we looked through the guide book to search for other theme restaurant located nearby. After few minutes discussion, my dear was getting impatient with my indecisive so he suggested to go back Hello Kitty Sweets see whether it was still crowded or not. I gave him so many 'possibilities' comments like "what if it was still crowded?" "what if the food not nice?" and continued what if what if what if there......"I didn't fancy Hello Kitty after all" He was kinda fed up and suggested other theme restaurant. And again, I continued my 'what if what if what if' there.....He tried to assure me that we could tried for one time and if it was really not up to expectation, then there won't be next time also. So after few moment of thinking, I said to him "Okay lor. We go to Hello Kitty then~ =)" He gave me this look, =.=lll .... I know he must be sworing at me inside his heart! Lolz *typical me again* 
Did I arouse your curiosity? Heh, I bet I did. It was actually our messy wardrobe. Chehhhhh~ I know I know. Wait, it’s true that we never ever want to let our man or any guy to take a peek at our messy wardrobe because it was really very very very messy till we need to ‘dig’ in the heaps of clothes just to search for one cloth. Scary, huh!
