Mylife Cycle: 2008 taipei IDSF Latin Open & Asian Latin Open

It's been quite some time after we have went to the Taipei 2008 Latin Open and the Asian Latin Open. Yup, i've missed the days, time really flies, in a very short and hectic period, i am now competing in grade A, Evon and i have got 41st out of 80 couples in the Taipei Open, and 16th out of 21 couples in the Asian Open. In he Taipei Open we couldn't get into the 2nd directly like alfred and carmen did. Which i think they did really well to impress the judges. So, we have to go for the redance round in order to by pass the other 30 over couples to qualify ourselves into the 2nd round. Yea, and we did, we were in 2 round. But bad that was the end of our journey for the Taipei Open. Alfred and carmen didn't make it into the 3rd round too. Which is a pity for then because last year they managed to get into the quarterfinals i think. For the Asian open both me and evon, alfred and carmen didn't make into the 2nd round as well, we have to do the redance. It was a tough fight. Loads of strong couples. The japanese, Koreans etc...However, evon and i really had a great time in Taiwan as we can also have a short break after all the hard work and hectic working days for evon. It's december in Taiwan and its FREEZING... i'm still not used to cold and chilly weathers but i love it! :)

Can you recognise this old lady?

Any clue? She's a celebrity... :)

HAHA..she's the actor for the recent singaporean movie 'money not enough 2' (lai meng). She acted as the mother. Remember? I forgot what's her name.HAHA

That's me in the bus from Taoyuan airport to the official hotel :)

This is my baby, i just noticed when she smiled to the camera, her eyes will be bigger than usual.

LOLThat's us. You can see the difference in the sizes of the eys..haha

That's Therese and Grant. In the MRT station. We are heading towards shi ling ye shi. Something like a pasar malam but its soooo much cooler than what we have beack here.

That's me, Evon (my baby) and therese. Even its inside the station, we can still feel the chilly weather inside there. Its freezing...But its super nice..

That's grant, me and baby. Grant said he's already getting used to these kind of weather because back in cape town( south africa-his hometown ) is also like this and sometimes its much colder.

I have no clue why the dog has to wear like this.weird...

That's me and baby inside a restaurant in taipei. The food was fantastic!!!

Grant and therese.

Me and baby again.

That's us during the Taipei Latin Open- With track suits. We love our jackets. So nice...

And this is us in our outfits and costumes. We really tanned a lot on our body especially baby. So dark...like a latino....

That's our room in the organiser's hotel, quite huge though..

Evon the beds were enough for 4 person to sleep on..

It was nearly christmas when we went there...

Posers....

All the dancers that were competing in taipei...we have all the way from junior cetegory, under 18, Grade A, to Professional...:)

That's Peter (from left), Therese, Grant, baby, me, and lavinie

The dance space members...

This is how the budget hotel looked like. much smaller but more modernized...

Very small space.hardly can walk around much..But its cheap.for city like taipei..about RM200/Night.

This LCD tv provides a lot of taiwan specials including porn...good god. free porn. One thing you can never find in Malaysia hotels.hahahahha

That's me on the public bus to Xi Men Ting for some shopping. Public transport in taipei is very convenient and efficient. Not like KL. Public Transport suck like shit.

That's baby..

Here we are... Xi Men Ting. They sell a lot of cheap clothes and food here.

Baby with Xi Men Ting Background. Quite chilly over there...

Here comes the fun part...i dont't know if you guys can see the red arrows or not. The red arrows indicates the pretty young ladies that we can see all the time in taipei.

And because my baby doesnt want her face to be in this pic..so..i have to do all these 'extra work' lol....and i took this pretty ladies pics on behalf of my friends. including jet and magendran..hahaha...you bastards..hahahaha..enjoy the chicks beause you canot find in Malaysia. Bitches in Malaysia are usually covered in tudung. see them also i felt damm hot. Luckily we have chinese girls back here...

Baby, inside Xi Men Ting...

Me, inside Xi Men Ting

A local delicacies found on the street...

One of the famouse stall in Taiwan. Pearl milk tea...

This is how it looked liked. Ordinary but nice!!!!

Baby drinking the pearl milk tea

Me, drinking the pearl milk tea

I saw this 'angel' standing outside the stall promoting some products was quite hilarious though. But i thought maybe my friends would be interested in it.... XD

Heacy traffic in Taipei. Just like KL...

ahhh...the nice part.... steamboat plus bbq...buffet style...best thing you would want to have during winter...

The restaurant....

The food...PORK!...chicken...fish...seafood....hmmm......

That's baby..she ordered the steamboat soup...toufu...lots of toufu!!!

That's me using the 'tepanyaki' style...lol

That's us with all the food..that we can't actually finish..haha..there's more actually..

That's the soup..with loads of tou fu..next time don't order toufu...

The pork...hmmmm~~~~

We finally finished all our food. or else they will charge us $10 for every 100g. well...we actually can't finish all the toufu, so we squeeze all the toufu into pieces and hid it every where,in the dustbin, and in the soup-we purposely asked the waitress to add in more soup so that it covers te toufu..hahaha...settle the bill and then we run..hahahahaha.....very fun though...
