Leaving from Jakarta to Taipei using Eva Air at 2:20 pm... My luggage was like 23kg over weight!! hahhaha~ The trip was soo smooth. I love it. The food was nice too.. but then I realize I was kinda upgraded to business class?? hahahahah~ awesomenesss...

Arrived in Taiwan and wait for Ricky to pick me up. When he arrived we just went straight to the hotel in Guting area in front of what he said the gym that Lee Hom and Vanness go to.. hahahaha~ Afterwards I wanted to eat something, so he brought me to the ShiDa Night Market and eat Chicken and drink Mint Bubble Tea. Then since it was about to close, we went back to the hotel and just talked until like 1:30 ish? hahahaha~

Looking for a place to live is never an easy thing. Ricky and I went to see the final candidates of the houses. The first one is nice, complete, except that it's too small for both Mel2 and I, no privacy. Second one is new, complete, 2 bedroom, big for both of us. It is just nice. So that day we just chose the 2nd one and promise that we will pay everything tomorrow... :D

That day we went to eat LuWei..? it was good but I was so full!! I didn't eat anything the whole day. After the deal with the agent for the second house, we went to XiMen to eat Ice. It was awesome.. I love it!! :D Then we were too tired so we went back to the hotel and he went home early because he had class the next day.

Registration at ShiDa and met Iwan, Ricky's friend that is also Kenneth's friend, and his sister Dian, who will be studying at ShiDa also. Then met up with Mel2 who just arrived that morning from Surabaya. The registration was not long since I didn't have to take the written exam. Then we went to an office for Taiwan ID number and sign up to get Taiwan number. Afterwards Mel2, Ricky, and I went to our house to sign some contract and start to move in.

Thurday & Friday just move Mel2's stuff from her old house to the new house and shopping for the new house.. like plates, spoon, etc..

Iwan, Dian, Mel2, Ricky, and I went to Costco together to look around and we wound up shopping to stock our snacks. I love it. Costco.. aaahhh.. Like going back to my American life.. =p Afterwards we went to put our stuff at Ricky's house and went to eat dinner together. I had this rice with like beef and some vegetables.. it was okay... then went back to Ricky's house and went back home..

While walking to the MRT, Mel2 fell down. She sprained her ankle. Sooo.... We dropped Iwan & Dian, then the Taxi driver brought us to NTU Hospital.. hospital i tell u..!! goodness.. i hate that place.. but oh well, who else could bring her there? So, in the hospital i was like scared and all that jazz since it was 12:30ish AM.. and after Xray and done everything, we just went home... that was about 2:30ish.. first time i went to the hospital that far... not liking it!!

Then I went to Taipei Main Station area by MRT and met up with Mel Yu, a LeeHom's fan from Malaysia I met through HSH and Joyce.. =p Meeting other fans are like awesome.. Then I wait in line and wait for Renny and Ricky. It was FREEZING!! well.. I did not expect today to be that cold! =p Then the number is given and we just wait there while eating French Fries.
