So.. 5th july -day 2 in Taipei. Lol it's officially my birthday!
We swapped hotel and moved over to United hotel [ http://www.unitedhotel.com.tw/ ] which the entire JJ Lin band was staying, it's like 1 minute walk to the nearest Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Station and there's an area a short walk away with tons of cool cafe and restaurants and like starbucks and convinience store right outside the hotel. Aweeeeesome.

So since it was my birthday afterall, what's better than an entire day of retail therapy, right?
Took the train to Taipei City Hall Station to the Xinyi shopping districts where all the departmental stores were, wanted to find Ettusais' counter at Shin Kong Mitsukoshi (新光三越) found it and stocked up extra 2 of my favourite Ettusais Gentle Wash soap bar, love this cleanser! Singapore is retailing it at $20 per bar but in Taiwan it's $14 after the conversion rate, so much difference!
Since it was raining outside and i didn't have an umbrella with me,
went to their supermarket in the basement to look see look see lol,
bought lots of tidbits and funny things in the end and i saw this:
OMG?! Adorable or what? I wanna migrate and live in taiwan because they have Rila + Chopper + Hello Kitty toilet paper! Hahahah i think it will make my constipation problem worst. I immediately texted leon this picture and he was like CUTE TOILET PAPER IS $10?!
Lol whoops i think when girls see cute stuff we just totally overlook other things eh.
Was randomly shopping around the departmental store and
bought myself some shoes + this really adorable plastic bag - which turned out to be really handy
cos it was raining everyday i was in Taiwan, and i carried the new pinky plastic bag around
so it doesn't matter even if it got rained on!
Poor baby is still in taiwan now and they had typhoon last night ):
Never really been into leather shoes but man oh man are these new kicks comfy!
Bought 3 pairs of leather shoes,
my first Minnetonka Thunderbird II flats [http://minnetonkamoccasin.com/], loooove the spring collection teal color one with is unlike the usual camel brown, dusty brown etc.

Also got this Reyn leather flats from DV by Dolce Vita [ http://www.dolcevita.com/ ], oh so comfy and unique plus it goes with everything i swear!
This leather x suede teal & nude wedges from Miss21, OMG feels like heaven when i stepped into these babies.
Oh shopped around and i saw this brand which the sales assistant told me it's from Japan,
Kanaii boom [ http://www.kanaii.com.tw/ ] Lol tried on a bunch of nightwear so kawaii and comfy!
Got in-built support somemore to prevent saggy boobies!
Awww look at their changing room? Like a telephone booth, so cute!
LOL kinda got a little culture shock when i was trying out the nighties the cute sale assistant was knocking on the changing room and i thought she wanted to pass me some more designs to try out
but she totally chiong into the changing room and went "啊啊啊啊很可爱吧！好适合你哦！！yadda yadda yadda", lol so cute and friendly!
End up making friends with the sales girl and she was telling me about this half angmo she's into blah blah lol
It's quite pricey thou, like about TWD2880 for the sleep cami + knickers which is about $128.
Again what did i saw about me being totally blind about $ when it comes to cute stuff -.-
But they are too comfy and cute haha so i bought 2 sets in the end :x
By then i've been shopping for like 5 hours straight and i'm damn shagged!
One of my to-visit cafe list was Smith & Hsu which was very popular for their teas and scones
★
[Smith and Hsu]
The one i went to was in 統一 shopping mall which is just opposite Eslite
but they have like 7 stores around, so you can just show people like the website
of the 7 store locations [ https://www.smithandhsu.com/tw/teadrinking.php ] and ask them
which one are you currently nearest to you, whereever you're at, hmm that's what i did and everyone was very nice to help me with directions and all. (:
Mmmm ordered the 2 scones + a pot of tea set for 1,
so fun choosing my choice of tea sniffing thru the entire tray of tea leaves!
Oh I had the Mango + Passionfruit tea which was really nice because usually with fruit tea there's
this "xiap xiap" taste if you get what i mean? But the tea at Smith & Hsu, no such problem!
Mmmm. the warm scones with the clotted cream and lemon curd is SO good! I'm quite surprised
but i found that I liked it even more than the ones i had at the famous Tea Cosy, The Irish Tearoom in the Rocks, Sydney [Read here: http://bit.ly/1b9R8Pz] but obviously still not beating the BEST scones I've had in my life at Blue Mountains with Jessica! [Read here: http://bit.ly/18d4oiC]
Tabao-ed back for the fiance but by the time he ate it was like DAMN cold and harden already boo boo, obviously the hotel room has no oven for me to warm up for him lol so boo boo not nice anymore.
Next time i'll bring him there!
The outlet i went is the Taipei City Hall Station outlet:
Smith and Hsu 統一阪急台北店

6FL., No. 8, Sec. 5 Zhong Xiao East Road, Taipei

After my lovely tea break, by then both of my arms were FULL of shopping bags and time's just time to head back to the hotel since the fiance has finally ended his rehearsals so yay ffffinally can accompany me!
We went to have shabu shabu for dinner with the entire JJ Lin concert tour band,
lol midway through dinner leon suddenly ran out of the restaurant with one of the other bandmates
and i was telling one of the girl "ahhh. i betcha he's going out to get me a cake or something" lol,
cannot hide from me you little piggie!
Obvious right! He don't even smoke or anything why would he just suddenly run out hahaha silly
Sure enough he came back like 10 minutes later and the whole restaurant started singing Happy Birthday, awwww thank god there's no trick candles or blowing of trick candles while standing on a chair or anything idiotic that he made me do during my 18th or 19th birthday lol.
He could find a cake so he bought a mini tart with lots of macarons! Hahaha
My buys of the day! Lol yep i bought a shitload of Naruko + NRK products :x
Got part of Leon's birthday present too althought it's still 2 months away, heh excited to give him but have to keep first!! It's from this italian designer and all their designs is limited to only one piece per design.
♡ Loves, TheLuckiestChick.
