Taiwan: Love Story Building 爱情故事馆

After departing from 富田花園農場, we walked over to 爱情故事馆. Love Story Building is located along the main road when we alighted from the bus, hence it was quite easy to re-trace the route back from Tomita Farm.

 

Helping couples to take pictures :) gladly obliged so I can build up on good karma during my trips, so people will gladly take pictures for me too, haha! 

 

See, karma returned almost immediately.

The outdoor area, where I think would be great for holding weddings. I can totally imagine couples saying their vows in front of the lil chapel. The sun was scorching hot, so we hurried into the building to enjoy the air-con and looking at the exhibits.

 

Let the tour begin! This place is actually quite small, with a couple of exhibits. Can easily finish in less than 1 hour. 

 

 

 

Since we are in a "love" environment, must get Leecher to propose to me (again) in front of the lil chapel.

  

While browsing through wedding accessories, we spotted a pic of 刘畊宏 & wife, with best friend Jay Chou. From this pic, I think Jay Chou looked more like the groom than best man. 

 

Signature of President Ma. Think this is the prized possession of this place. 

 

  

Leecher trying to show off his (lack of) music talent. 

  

Parents-in-law, taking a break before moving to the next destination.

 
 

Vespa! We all wanted a picture with it.  Notice the walls were all filled up with chinese words .... on one panel, it gave an insight to what kind of husband/wife will each horoscope sign be and here's what our horoscope says:

* 射手座老婆性子火爆，虽然常会为兼顾事业和家庭吵架, 对丈夫发脾气, 但她仍然爱他的.

*双鱼座老公天生温柔体贴好相处,但随着年龄的增加,受到流年的影响, 他们不但性子急, 还自以为是.天生是个一家之主的架子.

Hmm, not so true afterall, but who knows for sure? Maybe time will tell :)

Reno Diary - Bathroom Accessories & Touch Up

Hello! Mid-week once again :) celebrated Khim's birthday 2 weekends back and boy, I was dead tired when we got home in the wee hours of the morning. The whole weekend was spent at home, recuperating - signs of growing old :( Taking a break from blogging about TW, so here's the continuation of our reno journey! 

Installation of bathroom accessories

We bought most of our bathroom accessories from 2 places, mainly Heritage Bathroom Accessories & Ikea.

 

 

Leecher shopping for accessories @ Ikea Tampines. We prefer Ikea @ Tampines for it's closer to our place and also, there seemed to be more variety as well.  

Installed a miniature sink in the service yard.

 

We didn't do any reno work for the common bathroom to bring down the cost of renovation. Installed the heater and some bathroom accessories. 

 Instead, we spent slightly more on renovating the master bedroom toilet, installed some cupboards for storage and changed the sink :) Wanted to have 2 sinks, but the design of the toilet prevented us from doing so. Hence, we ended up having a his-and-her corner. Leecher's stuff goes to the right side of the sink while mine goes onto the left side, on the pretty rack that I picked out from Ikea :)

 Touch-up 

 A week before the official handover, we checked through the house and took note of any areas that required additional touch ups. Our designers arranged for one of their guys to come over to finish up the work.

        

 The worker was quite diligent. Not only did he worked on the areas that we spotted, he went around the room and looked through to ensure that everything was in place before he called it a day. Hardworking fellow, me like! 

My Paper Executive 2012

BFF took part in the My Paper Executive this year and she managed to get into the top 16. My eyes did a double-take when I saw her picture on the papers, she was all silent about it! Minqian invited us to the grand finals at The Lawn @ Marina Bay.

Marina Bay Link Mall was one of the main sponsors. This is the new mall located within Marina Bay Financial Centre, which consisted of 3 office towers, residences and suites.  Our tickets to the event, felt like attending the gala premiere of a movie :)

  

Had to find our way around the area, for I seldom venture to this area. With more of my clients shifting offices to this area, I think I will have a better idea on how to navigate around in time to come.  

 
Huge tentage in place for the event.  

 

We were very early for the event, and managed to grab the a row for Minqian's family + us.  

 Spot BFF in the background, with her striking tangerine dress, heehee! 

The lights came on and soon, the show started! Minqian was tagged no.16, so she was really far away from where we were sitted. My poor iphone camera couldn't capture a nice picture of her :( 

 

Took these when she was positioned nearer to us! You go girl!

 Pictures with BFF! I'm so glad something GOOD happened to her cuz of this competition :)

The goodie bag was awesome! It came enclosed with a bag hook, which was absolutely useful!

 

Hmm ... should I sign Leecher up for the contest next year? *grins*
