Services and Smiles @ Taipei

Taipei 101 through the blinds of our limo
Goodbye!!!!! waved Monkey
How time flew by just like that.....vacation is alwiz too short isn't it? :P

JS must must must MUST have his leg room
*not like he has got long legs pun -_-*
U can squeeze Monkey anywhere and she's good. Even bicycle built for two :))

He alwiz travel in style and like a boss
>.< oh well after all he's the boss

and when he travels like a boss, Monkey gets to travel like one too :P
ppppfffffttttttttttt

My poor watch has got loads of scratches and it's time to be sent for polishing. I have a deep regret for exchanging most of my watches into leather strap. This is the only rubber strap watch left for travel. Looks like I need to go to my favourite shop to spend some money and get more RUBBER straps.

loads of snacks, chocolates, apples and mineral water.
fresh towels, sanitizer etc.
We only had water coz we r not the type who like to eat in the car.

Then I saw this!!!!!
Taipei has got free WiFi everywhere....including toilets!!!!
no kidding u!!! and now in our Limo????

not believing it we checked our respective phone and snap this pic
:))))))))))))

Taipei is really a friendly place. People has got more warmth than Msians, They go all the way out to assist you despite the language barrier. They speak English mostly. Taiwanese smile a lot too, The Land of Smiles - Thailand definitely lose out as well. 

I guess when you have good customer service, and friendly people....tourism will definitely flourish. This of coz wasn't built over the course of a few years time, the mentality of the local ppl has to be in sync to achieve this. SO now......wat is our Minister of Tourism is doing?

They are paid to think hard and to do their job, I am not gonna think for them. There's shit load of work here today.
Happy Friday folks :)))

PS: yes I am still awaiting for JS to return back to KL to fix all those pics for Monkey to blog. Come back soon!!!! We missed u :))))

Airlines Food

I promised myself to keep postings on food consumed on flights that Monkey traveled in.

The above was:
Route: Taipei - Kuala Lumpur
Airline: Malaysia Airlines
Class: Business

Anyway it isn't fair to review the above meal bcoz I didn't have its meal meal. Just appetizer of grilled chicken breast with oden, fruit salads, a really yummy Taiwanese Pineapple Cake and the signature satays of Malaysia Airlines.

I forgot to order chef on call meal most of the time, bcoz I m perpetually on the run and forget things like this....otherwise u get to have really nice selection of special meals. Yes even roti canai with yummy dhal, or a grouper fish curry. 

On another flight to Paris
Chief Steward: "Madame, your grouper is onboard." and gave me a thumbs up
Monkey was blur for a moment b4 she remembered that she DID pre-ordered her meals.
"Oh ok thank you."He seemed more excited that I did :P

Sorry readers, I forgot to snap pic of my grouper coz she was seated next to some VVIP *I was travelling alone to Paris* and I wanted to behave and be civilised for a bit instead of cam-whoring with my airlines food. The VVIP next to me soon enquired for the same meal but there was only ONE GROUPER onboard
>.<

Shoes Galore

Gianvito Rossi....the son of the more famed shoe designer Sergio Rossi is charting his own fame with his funky designs at every Fashion Week in Milan ever since 2007. Hey that's pretty young for a brand u know? And over the course of a few years he has garnered more and more followers and clientele esp from Hollywood. Seen on red carpets and movies premiere....it's such a novelty to own a pair.

Thing is....as much as funky and bespoke they are....Monkey can't carry such dainty heels

it's too dainty and mini and lady-like for Miss Monkey
I know..so cute and pretty right?


Somehow I found a pair that suits me :)))))))))
something more subtle in Italian Lace :))))))))

Look at the detailing on the back with small pretty bows

*staring at my shoes-robe* and yes I don't have anything this lady-like nor in lace. YET.
Shall I Shall I Shall I?????

yes I should but it cost SGD 1,160 a pair...say about RM 2,900
-_-" sigh.....TSK!!


Monkey bought 4 pairs of shoes in Paris a few months ago....
3 pairs of D&G and one from Ferragamo. The Ferragamo pair looked so tiny but all four are in size 36. Weird huh? Maybe coz it's only half the height of the rest?

Patent leather is so much easier to maintain. Esp with SHOES!!!! The lilac pair was a high maintenance one bcoz it's a weaved fabric material. ARGHHH. Oh well wat to do, when u see it and fall in love....it's like u'll never part ways with it *except parting money*

sigh....ok no more shoes shopping. I gotta limit my purchase. And to limit it, I gotta stop browsing for the latest offerings, stop reading newsletters sent to me, stop attending fashion events....but again part of it is my job. Dangerous. Perhaps I should relegate to a deskbound boring low paying job.

oh well the grass is alwiz greener on the other side so stop complaining and be thankful. and yes I DO WORK HARD. VERY HARD. aaaahhhhh and to reward myself...more shoes. Oh dang!!!! *smack my head* this isn't goin anywhere...
