Happy New Year!
I have so many things to blog about ever since my holidays started on the 5th of December!
Being back home is the best feeling ever =)
There were so many gatherings, there was also CF and my Xmas Singapore trip and finally, I've just returned from Taiwan last week.
and the most memorable thing that happened in Taiwan was probably how we almost missed our flight.
I've been late for dinners, meetings and movies...but I tell you nothing scares me as much as missing a flight.
Never ffk a plane man.
Story goes that on the last day, we decided to do some last minute souvenir shopping in the Taipei Station. A very friendly shopkeeper at Shi Lin the night before told me that they had a floor dedicated to selling some of Taiwan's best pastries to visitors.
All she said was that it was on the second floor.
And the station was HUGE. so HUGE that the locals can get lost inside it. There were so many underground malls and passages that after half an hour of searching boyfie and I were pretty much lost. Asked for directions and they were lost themselves =.="
In the end we walked out of the tunnel to the main roads and decided to walk towards the building and start from there.
That easily took us about an hour and a half.
After that it took us about another half an hour to locate the correct floor and start our pastry hunting. I decided to try every shop's pineapple tart until I find the one worth me bringing back.
By the time I found the one it was 1.30 p.m.
Plane flies at 3.30 p.m.
1.30 I was suppose to be leaving the hotel. What happened to time???
HOW DID I MANAGE TO DO THIS TO US!??! FML.
Asked boyfie why didn't he warn me and he said he didn't wanted to be too pushy.
oh dai dai dai.
By the time we managed to buy everything and hail a cab it was about 2 p.m.!
Reached back the hotel boyfie and I transformed into super packers and packed all the souvenirs as fast as we could and called a cab.
And waited.
...and waited.
WHERE THE HELL IS THE BLARDY CAB??
It was raining and time was running thin.
By the time we got on the cab it was near 2.30. Talk about being 2 hours there before check in time blehh.
I fell asleep in the cab but boyfie was so nervous he was planning what to do if we missed the flight.
When I opened my eyes I saw that it was 2.50 p.m. OMG.
Mother Mary Jesus Buddha please hail that plane.
The taxi pulled up at the airport at 3.15 p.m and I ran as quick as I could to the counter and left boyfie there to handle the taxi and the luggage.
Counter was blinking red indicating it was closed.
Oh no you don't.
Grabbed boyfie and the stuff and ran to the check-in counter at 3.20 p.m. An uncle was there and he asked me where I was going and I answered "Malaysia!"
He shook his head and told the girl to process our boarding pass as quick as possible and shouted at us to RUN.
And run we did.
I could hear them broadcasting the last call for our flight and that made my heart sank like titanic.
We ran all the way through customs and rows and rows of shops until we reached the boarding gate.
And lucky for us, we managed to board the plane.
I didn't dare to utter a word until we were both seated and buckled up.
Boyfie:"Never in my life, has this ever happened to me before."
Me:"Look at all the new experiences I bring to you!" *BIG GRIN*
Boyfie gave me a very meh look.
To be honest, I don't think I want to give such expierences to anyone anymore. Including myself.
But to conclude it all, Taiwan trip was awesome!
I am planning to save up and go back there for a shopping trip again hehe. But no more chasing planes this time *shivers*
