Visiting Yehliu Geopark (野柳)

Visiting Yehliu Geopark (野柳) - Day 2

As the main highlight of Yehliu Geopark is the queen's head, I thought there wasn't a lot to see. So we headed off to Yehliu on 台铁(Train) and 客运(Bus) at around 11 plus.

Before that, we dad our brunch at
Ah Zong Mian Xian (阿宗面缐)

Here's the photo taken at 基隆 where we change to the bus

The F1 like bus driver gave us a bumpy right to Yeh Liu (野柳)

They have plenty of cute looking mascots of the various stone structures. So I definitely must pose with them :)

Then here's some of the amazing and beautiful stone structures which we witness during our journey. The entrance fee to the park is about TWD: $50 per head. So it's certainly very worth the value. Just that, going round the entire place is going to take about 3 - 5 hours depending on how much area you are covering. As we only travel to about half of the inner areas, so it's about 4 hours and still some places we didn't managed to go but it's getting dark so we just have to go.

Candle Stones

The Ice Cream

Bird Stone

Clam with Pearl Stone Structure

Queen's Head. There's actually 2 of them,
the real one and the man made one!

Strangling the fake stone.

Did I see Gorilla there too? He looked sleepy..

Monopoly Deal - A Fun Game to Play @ Chalets!

I felt that Monopoly Deal is really a fun and challenging game to play, especially at the Chalet. There are many rules to the game, but luckily we had a monopoly deal rules expert with us to double-click with in event of discrepancy! I feel that it requires strategy and some form of luck to win the game. So far, I always get good property cards sets but it always get taken away 'cos I don't have the "Just say NO" card and it tend to get taken away, especially if I've a complete set. Then, I tried the strategy of not putting up a complete set, then it also doesn't really work 'cos in the end, I don't end up putting my sets on the table. Perhaps, I'll need to play a lot more times and try different methods till I get the idea right I guess. If you do have the chance, try playing that game. It's really exciting, 'cos you'll never know how long will your properties stay with you! As well as, how much money you can have in your hands. T...

Shaun Stenning - Story of the Refund Request

I'm merely sharing the harsh truth and facts about the refund story started by Shaun Stenning himself. My post is biased toward my personal experience so judge it yourself. First of all, there was originally a blog post in their site to tell us that there will be a refund statement or something that will be send to us some Release Agreement but nothing ever happen other than the acknowledgment email reply which I've received from Shaun: "On Mon, Jan 24, 2011 at 12:15 PM, Shaun Stenning <shaun.stenning@dollarrose.com> wrote: your refund request has been received, please note that we will not be actioning the request until 1st March 2011 when you will receive the Release Agreement Shaun" After that, I just visited that link again and it has already been removed entirely. It's now loading page not found instead. If you were me, how would you feel?

Tom's Palette - Coffee Cheesecake (Flavour of the Month)

Like my usual ice cream cravings, my favourite ice cream store is none other than Tom's Palette haha.. Simply because their ice cream are affordable and tasty. They had a wide range o flavour and variety with new flavours every now and then. :D This month's flavour of the month is -- Coffee Cheesecake! It's either that it's a new flavour or I had not noticed this flavour previously as it tasted great! Have a kind of Tiramisu taste maybe because of the coffee portion. With half a cup of Coffee Cheesecake and half a cup of Chocolate Sorbet, it was a heavenly combination for me! Haha.. I had a medium cup last Sunday, and I make sure that I go before 7pm haha.. so it's pre-dinner not dessert, otherwise, by the time I finished dinner, no more ice cream for me. :X Website: www.tomspalette.com.sg As mentioned on their site, they are located at Shaw Towers, Shaw Leisure Gallery #01-25. Opening Hours: Mon - Thurs: 12 - 9.30pm Fri - Sat: ...
