Happy 125th Birthday, Coca-Cola!

I attended Coca-cola's birthday bash-- RED ALERT, everywhere!
The evolution of Coca-cola is significant, both locally & internationally.
Coca-cola is no longer just a drink, the company is also active in engaging a healthy lifestyle, community, saving the earth and many more.

Ask me what does red stand for?
I'll tell you, it's HAPPINESS! :)

Open up, Open up, Open up some happiness;
Happy 125th Birthday Coca-Cola!

可乐125岁了-- 生日快乐!
喝可乐真的会很快乐,不是吗?

My favourite drink to quench my thirst: Coke with Salt, NEVER FAILS. When I was really young, I used to stay in a kampong. Everytime when I have a fever, my grandfather would buy COKE FLOAT(coke topped with vanilla ice-cream) for me, the best remedy for fever in the world! Try it!

Amazing.

The exhibits displayed the evolution & photographs of coca-cola for the past 125 years. Come to think of it, Coke actually survived BOTH the 1st and 2nd world war.

At half time, I realise this party is more of a corporate one, so everyone was more formal.

Nevertheless, a happy event calls for happy Bloggers, self indulging in our wild, crazy happiness!

Taipei Day 1/7: Shilin Night Market

My first flight in 25 years!

Actually 2 flights; first to Hong Kong, then transit to Taiwan.

I was super excited to know that I'm 25500 feet above.

IMG_0222


Look what I had for lunch, my first meal in the air!

IMG_0228

IMG_0230

Hong Kong International airport is huge!

The first name which caught my attention the moment at Taoyuan Airport arrival hall

IMG_0277

The bus ride to Taipei Main Station was not very pleasant- the bus stinks with cigarette odour & insects. I will try Feigou if I have the chance.


IMG_0275

Except for the use of ez-link, taking MRT in Taipei is somewhat similar to the MRT system back in Singapore. Unlike Singapore though, they have washrooms & dustbins within the MRT platforms & tunnels. And they are extremely clean!

The very first place I visited was Shilin Night Market to meet up with Miko(a taiwanese friend of mine). And boy was I lucky, We bump into the Mayor of Taipei!

Miko treated us to so much good food & bargains. In addition, her bargain skills were superb! I bought a whole bag of loot yet saving up to a few thousand NT! *satisfied laughter*

When I was in Singapore, friends said that the chicken chops are so much tastier in Taiwan.

Y.E.S! I totally agree!
