Sunset

Was attending an event at Jurong East when I noticed this beautiful scene behind me...

After many years of procrastination, I finally went for a one day sports climbing course last month. The course was conducted at Toa Payoh Safra. It was great fun! I thought I wouldnt be able to climb but I actually managed 5 climbs ..i think. lol. It was really tough but its a great workout for the body. After the course, you can really feel that all your energy was drained from every part of your body.

After the course, I got my certificate to certify that I have understood the basics of sports climbing and the technique of belaying. I think I want to continue this, maybe find a group to do this on a routine basis. Anyone interested?

The Bellagio

Found two videos I took 2 years back in Las Vegas while I was organising my files...The musical fountain of the Bellagio. Its really an amazing experience standing there watching this. Hope I got another chance to go there again.

Stefanie Sun Concert

Went to Stefanie Sun concert last saturday. Its her first concert in 3 years and its my first time attending her concert...was so excited about it.

The stadium was almost fully occupied. She performed so many of her songs that night..and was especially witty and funny. Really enjoyed her performance, she is sooo good. The costumes, the stage and the effects are really great. Below are some pics and videos i took.

台北最后一天

在台北最后一天，一定要去泡温泉。早上我们先去了淡水。淡水给我的感觉好像是一个纯朴的小镇。人们生活节奏比较慢。很悠闲，很舒服。

淡水的小巷

淡水的菜市场。挤满了买菜的人。。

离开淡水前，我们到了著名的红毛城。这是殖民地时代的建筑。

最后我们到了北投温泉博物馆

这是很久以前的温泉池。现在只是个展览区

地热谷aka Hell's Valley

在北投享受完泡温泉的滋味，也为我的台湾之旅画下句点。真的很喜欢台湾，不论是风景，文化，食物还有台湾人的热情都让我留下深刻的影像。有机会一定再回来。

台北

在台北好像处了逛街就是去夜市，看纪念馆。所以我们在台北的第二天就是如此。在我们的饭店的后面就是二二八和平公园。二二八和平公园建於清光绪25年，是台北市历史最悠久的公园。2月28日，民众齐聚台北公园，随后进占台湾广播电台向全台广播，乱事乃逐渐蔓延全台，而惩凶要求也升高为政治抗争行动。国民政府调集军队镇压，除武力扫荡外，在乱事平息后并进行清乡。清乡执行手段偏激，或罗织入罪，或藉端报复，使本省籍人士人人自危。为纪念二二八事件中死伤的无辜百姓，特於二二八和平公园内设置二二八纪念碑。
