Taiwan Day 3 @ Yilan

Day 3. Rise and shine super early at about 5+ as we had to set off early to Yilan.

Goodbye Taichung!


We sang on the coach and after we checked in our hotel,we headed to Taiwan Theater Museum for the second performance. This time is only the actoress involved. The rest of us were delegated with other duties.

Upon reaching,lunch time! Yea we were well taken of in Taiwan.

After a quick lunch,they started preparing.This is in fact the first time i get to see them get ready from scratch. Its really interesting.

I was delegated to do videocaming and Ailian phototaking.




It was tiring doing the videoshooting!!!esp. my right arm...haha...but it was fun.After the "work",i finally took some shots with them.


I remember when i was young,my mum would bring me watch the Teochew Tan Chor Hwee Opera. As my mum knew her,i always get a chance to go backstage and i would always be in fear!i didn't like the costumes and such coz i found it scary. But after knowing Xiang people,it changed my thoughts.haha...





After undressing, we had an interaction session.Check out the spread they prepared!











Evening time, we headed back to our hotel.



As there is the Light Festival in Yilan,the locals encouraged us to go and take a look. So we waited at the lobby.



Don't they look like Fu Lu Shou?


Apparently,it was really crowded and so, Ailian,Changmei and I decided not to go.Instead we headed to a nearby shopping mall which had Carrefour.





From the photos,you;ll probably knew how we enjoyed ourselves buying the noodles! Alrite,we 3 gals had problem carrying back to our hotel.but we still did it!


Our spree

This ended our day @ Yilan.

Taiwan Day 2- 13022009

Day 2 @ Taichung.Rise and shine at 7am. After washing up(and not changing), we headed to the cafe for breakfast.





After breakfast, we went to Uncle Ziliang's room for practice.

Did you see the big bucket??? We could not manage to borrow a big drum from the Taiwan side but we need it for the effect for the thunder sound within the play. Thus i suddenly thought of STOMP concept. and tada....Junhao and Uncle Thiam found this big bucket in the hotel. It was nice of the hotel to lend us too though it was kinda weird.




Not only its light weight, it can hold many items too!!!


Oh no...caught in action!!!juz joking...just so happen that i capture this shot.


After practice for the whole morning, we had lunch.I had always liked the way their packet meals are presented.Yum yum...



After lunch,we accompanied Ailian to one of the music shops to buy her pipa bag and headed back to rest. Was feeling tired eh...At about 5pm, we headed to our performance venue.




Upon reaching, we had our early dinner...






As it was early,Ailian and I went around to snap snap.




We decided to play with the cow...haha...onli dia dia so good to entertain me with my nonsense and stunts...



There was a lantern festival just beside our performance venue.



Back to back stage scenes....This is Ah Huay...she is a good cook who never fails to cook many delicious dishes when we are practicing.


Fooling around before the performance... =)








A Successful performance! Everyone was relieved after the performance. Look at our happy faces!!!


Ms Tang Mei Yun arranged for supper at this lovely place.





The ambience of the restaurant is splendid. Its like those olden times with nature around the area.Food is nice too and i think the drink is slurp!




My drink.



Check out their toilet signage. I didnt understand it at first until i went to take a glance into the toilet itself.


THis is funny...
This guy chauffeaured us to and fro a couple of times. He's also part of the Tang Mei Yun troupe. Handsome hor?As the clock strike 12,i snap photo with him. Vday mah...Love at taiwan? haha

After supper, we headed back to Feng Jia Night Market though its like 12+ already. Knowing the night market would close at 2am, we still went ahead. This time with more people. However some of the shops were already closed or preparing to close.

So lomantic!
This is Ms Tay Sung Lung AKA xiaoshan. Ailian and I were making fun of her name throughout.hehe...Find her familiar? She's one of the host in one of the travel documentary.

This marks the end of Day 2!
