Za BB cream
Finally got my hands on the Za BB cream in Taiwan. I know Singapore is launching it soon in May 2012 but there's no specific date so I just whacked it back to Singapore. God knows howm much I love the Za's Pink Series which is so hydrating.
My point of view:
1. Its more of a medium coverage so you do need concealer if you have spots to cover.You can look at the photos for comparison.
2. Its light weight so I wont feel sticky after a hot, sunny day.
3. Its SPF protection is rather high with SPF 43 and PA+++.
4. The only con I will want to comment is... Its way too small for its value. I hope ZA can launch it in bigger tube.

Taiwan Day 4
1. On day 4, we manged to force ourselves to wake up early because we had a reservation at the Kitty Restaurant. Me n xz woke up and went to get breakfast at Xi Men Dou Jiang... Its actually further down from Rainbow Hotel, you will see one stretch of stores that sells food like Singapore's Zi Char, walk further down and you will see Xi Men Dou Jiang. Its actually opp of East Dragon Hotel. Just a gentle reminder, the auntie very very "rude" and she dont understand English. and she will be scolding you when you make orders but her food are nice.
If you can hack care her rude-ness, den you can try.
2. After breakfast, we slacked further as usual den make our way to Train station and take all the way to Zhongxiao Fu Xin Station. Its on the same line as Xi Men Ding so there's no need to change trains. The kitty cafe is not really near the station so its better you ask around "Hello Kitty Cafe" and not road names. Its seems Taiwanese also not very familar with road names We then realised we reached 30 mins earlier!!!! So ended up we went Mac and sit and again ordered set meals... Talk about hungary ghost.... We slowly waste the 30 mins and finally skipped to the Kitty Cafe. Kindly note that there's a min. spending of NT 300 per person. We ordered the set meals which were so cheap to our surprise. NT 400 per set. Cheaper than Ala Carte. But I wan to warn you all, the food were... YUCKY AND SUCKY!!!!! Basically you spend to enjoy the Hello Kitty concept they have instead of the food. The 3 of us went -_-lll and thank God we ate Mac b4 that.
3. After the lunch, we faster fly off from the yucky meals and back to train station, Zhongxiao Fuxin. Kindly check for the signs at Zhongxiao Fuxin, take the train towards Nangang Software park. Alight at Jian Nan Rd, and exit via Exit 1 ( i think) ... You will see a bus stop and take the bus, B20 that will bring you directly to the Taipei National Palace Musume aka Gu Gong.

Taiwan Day 3
For Day 3, we woke up and went to this Dim Sum restaurant for Brunch!!! Its just inside a mall that has Kinokuniya. You have to take Esculator to Level 3 and then take lift till level 5. But there will be lots of hong kong tourists but they are quieter than Ah Tiongs!!!! After the brunch, we walked the mall and found Porter!!!!! And also bot bras as its on sales!!! So as usual... Damages control dropped to zero!!! After that we took to Taipei Main Station, look for the sign that says to TRA... Its the the train we need to take to Ruifeng station and transfer to bus to Jiu Fen. The TRA is about 47 mins so by the time we reached, we can only go Jiu Fen. Get out of the station , take the bus thats opp the station, ask the driver if he goes Jiu Fen and board the bus. You will only pay NT 15 upon alighting. Its a very unique ride up the hill and we are shaky here n there, haha. After 20 mins bus ride, we are at Jiu Fen Old street, and we immendiately chiong for their Taro Balls with Beancurd dessert... I tel you, its a must try!!! Its super SUPERB!!!!!!!!
We explored up all the way and eventually found a tea house with the most amazing view of the seas and enjoyed the sunset too....
For returning , we wait for the bus opp this cat house. You will see a lot of people q-ing and asked the driver if he goes to Ruifeng station.
Things to take note :
1. All bus rides in Taiwan are NT 15. Rmbr to prepare coins.
2. Most buses only collect coins upon alighting
3. You will need to stand for 1 hr plus from Ruifeng station back to Taipei Main Station.

I wonder how long you are going treat other as idiots... First, you treat Poh as idiot and try to "earn" her money through the Fridge and Rental of Car while you are on holiday and need someone to look after, but yet charge others $600 for it?? And then you told people who don know Poh that she's the one making a fuss out of it and delayed your plannings- which I shld clarify, that you and your husband kept lying that you had finished it but actually you never and drag like nobody's business. Also you drop me a msg saying "we still can be friends right?? Don let the unhappiness stop the friendship" and you del me and yt just cuz after that we said we cant attend your wedding and post on your FB saying " there's someone not worth of my time.." . So lets see, you been trying to treat everyone like idiots n fools, thinking that you can manipulate them and treating poh for granted cuz you think she po you that much and now you start to say bullshits and create lies which we checked and confrim are lies.... Seriously, if you wan to open war this way, check who you are dealing with and most important, do you think your lies can help you that much???

Taiwan Day 2
Thanks to the extreme walking and shopping on Day 1, we all woke up super late at 11 am!!!!! Body ache leh~~ so we decide to continue to explore Xi Men Ding and look for breakfast. We managed to walk to the other side , opp Cosmos, a eatery that sells quite a number of soupy stuff. Its nice and less than SGD 10 for 6 big bowls. Mai siao siao. After that we went to Cosmos which is another version of Watsons but they sell
mostly masks. And there's a super promo on the masks. Yanting had her damages more than me and Xiu Zhen combined . Haha... Si bei jia lat lor!!! You can see the pic and understand what I meant. Again, we went back to the hotel to put our stuffs and took train all the way to Dan Shuai. Its quite a long journey , about 45 mins to 1 hour. When we arrived, the sun was SUPER GLARING!!!! But lucky the breeze is cooling. So we walked around dan shuai for about 3 hours... Ya... How hardworking we are... Walking, 3 hrs!!!!! There's a few cheap buys for food and as usual, we whacked a lot back mostly for collegues , families and friends. We also went to the store which my yiyi intro that sells Hai Yan Wo aka Bird Nest Seaweed cuz its really good!!! They hav other flavours such as Ginger Tea all that. And I love Taiwanese so much cuz they will not hesistant to let you try their free samples!!! We had like 3 to 4 REGULAR cups of the drinks to try. How good is that??? After so much walking, we sat at a cafe and saw 2 big doggies!!! So cute and so guai.... Lol.... But as usual, we had so much damages done!!! Even more than day 1!!! And because Dan shuai and Shi Lin are on the same train line so we carried our heavy bags and went Shi Lin Night market. But its a surprise we nv really try their food but shop a lot muhahaha.. Those who wan buy kids wear can go Shi lin as there's a few stalls that sells kids wear ooh!!

Taiwan Day 1
1. to Taipei on Jetstar 3k 721
We checked in at 5 am, yes its a "torture", but we had our first damage done in DFS. Who can resist the skincare sets that are on mega sales???
2. We took 4 hrs to reach Taipei. Their T1 is having a mega reno so you will find it quite troublesome to walk a long distance to immigration. But everything is smooth eventually n fast. The sign boards are very detailed so you wont have any problems looking for the bus tiicketing counter. We bought the Guo Guang bus tickets as they will ferry passengers to the Taipei Station bus interchange and changed into a smaller bus directly to Xi Men Ding. You may think its very troublesome but actually its not. The Guo Guang bus ticket costs only NT150 and its free when you change to the smaller bus.
Its abt one hour journey from airport to hotel and we immendiately checked in. We chose Future Star aka 明日饭店 because it was highly recommended by my babe, Jeslin and its just outside of Xi Men Ding Mrt Station and next to Xi Men Ding. I personally feels its location is the best. Even better than Rainbow, and cheaper somemore.
3. As its already late afternoon after we settled down so we decide to explore Xi Men Ding first. We found a very nice tea store and they really have such nice brewed ice tea till we are addicted!!! Its call 天仁茗茶... Its a much try.
4. Next, we took a cab down to thos Cats Themed Cafe called Minimal Cafe . Its very cheap to cab in Taiwan so if there's any place you are not sure, you just can cab to the location. This cafe is really full of cats wondering around. Its more of a cafe and its a nice, cosy place for Afternoon Tea.
5. Because the cafe is super near Shi Da night market, so we walked all the way down and explored our first Night Market. Further damages were done and I personally bough 5 boxes of fake lashes that have transparent tapes for my babes. Its only NT 150 per box and they were so sincerely in giving discount so per box is about NT 100, less than SGD $6... But this night market will have the most range of clothings and accessories compared to the rest of night markets.
Lesson learnt for day 1:
- Taiwanese don really know English so pls don speak to them in English
- BRING UR OWN CHILLI!!!! They don even serve chilli in Mac!!!
- The people are really very friendly and service-oriented...
- Pls bring your own shopping bags as some shops don provide plastic bags or its chargable.
