Taipei 2013 Posts

I still owe my readers a number of posts of my Taipei 2013 trip. Please bear with me and I will try to upload the photos and posts as soon as possible. Thank you! :)

2012

2012 represents the year we are currently in. 2012 is also the number of posts that I have posted on this blog since I started it. This post is my 2012th post. :P

Taipei Trip

I am still in the midst of updating my Taipei trip on the blog. It is a slow process because I have to sieve through the hundred plus photos I have taken on each day on this trip. I am almost done, 2 more days to go. :P Please check back on the posts later. Thank you for your patience. :)

To Blog or Not To Blog?

No, that is not the question. The question is: WHAT to blog! I am sure every blogger faces this problem sooner or later, once in a while or most frequently, a Blogger's Block, hahaha. :P This Blaugh comic reflects the Blogger's Block most accurately, lol. :P

Being Blogged About

Remember I mentioned once that I was being blogged about in another person's blog? It's in my 19 March 2008 blog post and I thanked her for it.

Today, that nice lady, Rona left a comment on that blog post. I have reproduced it below for ease of reading for all of you. :)

Hi, Rona

Thanks for your comment! My girls would be most happy to know that you have called them lovely. :) No worries about publishing my link on your blog! You are most welcome. I do enjoy introducing nice eating places to my friends and readers who read my blog. :) I didn't do all that much but only blogged about eating places where I have enjoyed the food and sometimes places where I like the decor. Guess what? Oomphatico's won on both accounts, lol. :)

Hwei Ming :)

Since some of you have asked me previously which blog I was mentioned in, well, click here. :) It is the one about mother-daughter bonding. I laughed about how Rona described me, lol. Yup, that's how my own family described me too when I am taking photos for my blog, hahaha. They say I am obsessed, lol. :P Anyway, here's my blog post on Oomphatico's too if you haven't read it yet.

Writing, Blogging and Reading

Present time: 14:39pm
While supervising the girls on their writing of Chinese characters, I am also blogging away. Thought I might as well make use of the time to blog. But of course, I keep an eye on them, just in case they make mistakes, I can correct them in time.

I bought some pre-school Chinese Write and Learn books for the girls as well as for my nephews in UK just today before lunch. My elder nephew, Abel will be starting his Chinese lessons soon so my brother asked me to get some Chinese writing books and send them over to UK. I might go look for more Chinese books for the boys since it is difficult to get such books in UK. Hey, YM, when will Abel be starting his lessons? I will try to send the books over soon.

2 Hours Ago: 12:30pm
After I bought the books at Popular Orchard, I met hubby back at Wheelock Place and we had lunch at Big O Cafe & Restaurant. Since it is vegetarian day today, we ordered a Side Salad with house dressing, Roasted Mushrooms with Herbs and a Crispy Fried Tofu & Portobello Mushroom Burger. The Crispy Fried Tofu & Portobello Mushroom Burger, which came with a side salad and a light sour yoghurt sauce/dip, was fantastic! The "buns" were two huge Portobello mushrooms and the "meat" was the crispy fried tofu. It was light, tasty and not oily. It was, surprisingly, full of flavour and it was very refreshing. You get your potassium and protein too. Good for those on diet, lol.



Hubby ordered a Spike D for dessert - it is a durian mousse-cake coated with a layer of chocolate. He said it was really good. Sorry, no photo to show as I do NOT fancy durian at all. As the durian smell was too strong for me to take, I left the cafe first. Instead, I went to Haato for my dessert fix - a double cup of Milk Tea and Tiramisu ice cream. Heavenly. =)

I am going to log off now. I have to get back to my Black Order. It is calling me. Coming, dear. Sorry, folks. Talk to you later.
