Just Me

Mimicking the art works.

 Day 1
          We took the afternoon flight from KL to Taiwan. The flight was 4 hours long. We reached Taiwan at 10.05 pm. We are kinda unlucky. Taiwan airport was under renovation, so, one of the runaway was being closed down for construction purpose. We waited for an hour long on the plane for the permission to land down. Airplanes were lining up sides by sides. After we touched down, we ran to the custom, hoping to catch the last bus. It was a busy night, the custom were full of people. After picking up our luggage, we rushed to the lower ground floor. Fortunately, the 统联客运's counter did not close, we bought the tickets to Kaoshiong. Since the bus will only departed at 2.00 am, we went to the nearest convenience store for early breakfast. It was our first meal in Taiwan.

Day 2
Around 7.00 am, we reached Kaoshiong Train Station. Since it was too early for us to do anything (stores open at 9 a.m.-10 a.m.), we had breakfast at 7-11. Without GPS, finding our place of staying was consider a tough task. With the help of locals, we were able to reach the place safely. Our host had greeted us welcome. She explained and gave us clear instructions. Blessed with good luck, the host gave us the entire room without increasing the rental. Thus, we end up to have 2 toilets, 3 double beds and 3 double deckers. After cleaning up and a small nap, we went out to explore. Topped up our youyou card, we headed to Kaoshiong Light House. In order to double up the fun, we rented the bicycles. It turned out to be a thrilling experience because we were unfamiliar with the traffic rules. Besides, it was my first time cycling the couple bicycle. My friend at the back screamed throughout the journey. >.<

I thought my cycling experience in USM would allow me to counter this monster. Yet, I was wrong. T^T

We hiked up to the mountain for this view.

We went to the Chijin Tunnel of Star. It was too bright for us to see the beautiful patterns inside tunnel. ( Do visit the tunnel when it was dark ). With disappointment, we left the island.

Our friends told us to try this. （福泉棉花冰）It was chilling and yummy. The mangos were sweet. The ice melted instantaneously after sending it to our mouth.

          After a small break, we went to the art centre. (駁二藝術特區)

Transformer at the art area.

I travelled to Taiwan with my three girls on 1/7/2015. It was a 12 days and 11 nights tour. We had done a lot of homework before we reached Taiwan. A lot of discussion and concerns were being spoken out. Things you shall do before you went backpacking. Make sure you are traveling with a group of friends who you have common interest with. The accommodation was paid and the transport was settled beforehand. The accommodation was booked through airbnb. With the help of airbnb, we managed to lower down our accommodation costs to RM500. I would include the information of the places in the following posts. ( However, there are some uncertified accommodation in airbnb. Please select the accommodation with the best review.  A piece of advice for Malaysians who plan to go to Taiwan. If you are living around Kuala Lumpur (KL), remember to pay a visit to Taiwan Tourism Centre in Raja Chulan. By showing them your flight tickets and your place of staying, you are able to get a free youyou card ( Taiwan's Touch and go) and a few Kashiong light rail tickets for FREE.  Besides, check and renew your passport before you go anywhere.  Last but not least, make sure that you follow your airlines in Facebook. We travelled with Airasia as it offers the cheapest flight. Normally, return ticket from KL to Taiwan costs around RM1500. During promotion, the price of the ticket will reduce to minimum RM400++.  Please bring along USD when you are traveling to Taiwan. The changing rate for Malaysia Ringgit to Taiwan Dollar is very low. You are able to change USD in any bank. Specific bank is needed if you change from other currency.

Just ME:)  I had not written any post in 2014. I decided to pick up my identity as a blogger. I would like to start fresh by telling you 20 facts about me. My full name is Pauline Chuo See Sze, in Chinese 朱㛓𡡒. The pronunciation of my Chinese name is similar to 西施 (Xi Shi was one of the renowned Four Beauties of ancient China). People tend to make fun of it. Thus, I dislike when people call my chinese name.  My left eye looks bigger than my right. I was born with a inner eye lid left eye and a single eye lid right eye. So, I cannot live without my double eyelid tape.  I got a pair of dimples, sometimes, they are significant in photos. In Asian, dimples suggest good fortune and fertility. I have Amblyopia, also known as lazy eyes.   I am a Christian. I am a Sarawakian.  I am from Sibu, a place with a lot of Foochow. I can spoke more than 5 language - Malay, English, Mandarin, Korean and Japanese. I learnt my Korean and Japanese during my university. I can only speak the basic. I can spoke in Foochow - a type of Chinese dialect. (You cannot survive in Sibu if you cannot speak Foochow. Doctor even use Foochow to communicate with their patients) I am a hot tempered person.  I regard myself as 51% introvert and 49% extrovert. I love spending time with myself. I love to socialise with people.  I have sweet teeth. I love desserts, especially matcha product.  I made desserts instead of buying them. Most of the time, the desserts are overpriced. I tend to find out the recipe after my first trial.  I love doing volunteering work.  I love taking photos.  I love to draw. I had my drawing lessons for 3 years during my secondary school.  I love to travel. Being able to meet different types of people around the world make me exited.  I am a USM fresh graduate. I completed my degree as an electrical engineer in June 2015. Make up is a must for me. I learnt make up during my long break, before entering USM.  I love to read books. Popular, Borders, MPH or any book stores in shopping mall are my favourite place.   I love to improve myself in terms of physical and mental.

    It has been a long time for not posting anything here. I was lack of enthusiastic and inspiration to write my blog. So, now it is time to stop giving myself any excuses. So, now to start my post, I want to introduce to you -- Hokkaido Cupcakes. They are soft and easily made. The tools you need are an oven and a mixer. If you do not have any mixer at home, then you can do it with your hands but it would probably take a longer time. I did the cupcakes last week and they turned out to be finger licking good. These were some of the I took during and after baking.

After inserting the filling and the decoration. Aren't they look alluring?

    Wao, 5 months was a blink of time for me. I have not been touching or writing my blog for nearly 5 months. There have been some changes happening to me in these few months time. However, there is too little time for me to talk about them. So, today, I am going to talk from outside, which means physical appearance. :)

 Hmm.. the color of my hair is originally black but in the beginning of my semester, surprisingly, my mom had agreed with my suggestion of dying my hair. I had spent almost a year talking to her about the issue. However, she was engaged by the some scientific information, saying that dying your hair may lead to cancer. Hmm.. I am not a doctor, thus, I may not be able justify whether the information is correct or not. I tried to persuade her towards another angle. At last, I succeeded.

My look after dying my hair.

Do you think I am just going to stay like that and feeling satisfied. Of course! Another physical changes was consider as accident. Hmm.. I was walking into the shop and told him that I want to get a hair cut, i let him to has the right on doing whatever he wants to my hair. And.. ...

Look a bit weird. But this is the only picture I have with my short hair XDXD
