we were at the puli bus terminal got up the bus!!! pack pack of people. Nobody will wana wait like another 30mins or so for the next bus in. We stand in the bus. After a number of station than got two space. For me and alicia to sit !!! Oh~ when i was at the terminal. the accomodation person at ching jing. Called me and ask where are we. And did guide me which bus stop to alight~ The bus uncle will shout the bus stop place.
excited :) and all ready to see MEH MEH~ can't wait to go near them :)
We reached and its such a nice cottage!!! its the same as what i see in the website~
The people are very very nice~ i told them there is two places i wana go the " ching jing farm" and "Her huan Shan" if can see the sun rise~ even better:X They plan it for us. They told us to go see MEH MEH today than the next morning they have their own cars like a small tour from their own ming su up to "HER HUAN SHAN" . it cost nt700 each. they say if wana see the sun rise than it will be like 4am, 3am!!! But they willl only drive there to let you see than come back le. So they suggest we go for the later timing at 7am to the "her huan shan" :)
we were lucky too. After we alight from the bus stop. The ming su is just opposite. Than the owner was just seeing of a couple. they gave us two free tickets to the SMALL SWISS GARDEN. So we decide to head there first as its still early!!! They are nice they provide transport down. and off we went !!! They taught us how to leave to ching jing farm after this. But we could not locate the bus to take. So we called them. And very nice of them, they fetch us up to the farm to watch our MEH MEH!!!they even told us to called them after everything!!!
COOL~ service no.1 !!!
We reached~
the entrance !!! when we got in :) look at us... We were like making fun of "how we had our wedding shoots the the day before at taipei!!!"... The photographer will go like "qiang qiang 看老婆(or ting ting) " than 笑笑. 不可一哈, 假笑,在多一次, 笑. Whole day was like look here look there.. Look at each other. lol~

after the show actually you can head to the other side to see horse show. But we were not very interested in hourse. So we make our way walking up the hills. Hoping to see the sheeps . After the show they did not let the sheeps out. So we just take a stroll up . Never knew, little lambs where up there in a place!!!

Love this place :) At night is kind of boring, rather nice sitting outside our room, the balcony area, watching the stars, some of them bbq below, and can hear like music going on the other side, happening le :) and enjoying AIR CON lor~ lol~ Alicia sat outside chatting with her darling, cause at this place there is FREE wifi~ we all like busy going to FB and load , we even called ahlong and suping using the iphone application call " tango" ~ can video call FREE!!!
me and dear were laying inside the room on the bed, playing iphone, than dear pack his bag and took out the ring! yesh, proposal ring. He actually so call proposed while we were having our photoshoot~ idea hor, he told me actually not like that de, he bring it all the way here cause he thinks its special to do it in overseas. He told me he actually wanted to get flowers but with the help from eileen. But the taipei homestay we stayed got no flowers, surronding also no flowers shop :X never mind, BTW, he did kneel down and kind of surprise me. But it happen to fast, and we were actually doing our photoshoot. so dear also never say anything. so funny... But he kneel down outside the pathment, where everybody can see~ brave? lol~ i can't post pics of it, if not you will get to see our pics le~ secrect , till the big day , okie! BTW, as everybody know my big ribbon on my nails. So i could not wear the ring on the spot~ So i kept it back to the box. Till now, i have not wear it, cause i'am not use to it. very scared i lost it too, cause at work, its like doc, filing, typing... so i scared i forget, than i do things like very fast de...erhm, okie i will try to wear it soon k :) dear keep complaining, buy le, than you keep in drawer for what ( everytimes he comes my house, open drawer and see the ring still inside) :X But i have decided to wear it together on the same finger together with my engagement ring :)
i have tested it how it will look like ;) when we brought our proposal rings, dear very act de lor.. on that day he only brought the engagement ring, ( he say no$$$ to buy the proposal ring yet, he just want me to try size i think, than on another day he go buy it himself) we went down to select at SOO KEE ~ than tested if i wear both rings on a finger how it looks like. than the promoter go get a 0.4 de~ i wore it with my engagement ring, i say too big, i want smaller de, he was like ???? too big, no gals will say the diamond to big and request for a smaller de , and normally gals take 0.4 de ~ lol!!! he stare at me, its okie... if you decided to get a bigger want after that, can do upgrade...dear was like, will too big meh, 0.4 very normal le wor~ ( i think he already thought of getting that, only ask me to go try lor) i insisted , i want smaller de.. lol~ to me.. i rather want it nice when i wear it. cause i'am going to wear it!!! of course must not look weird meh. Hai yo~
think i'am those HOULIAN people meh... wear le and show.. C mine so big the diamond? or scared friends say my diamond very small , no face , bo liao~ its just a ring afterall, wear so big also ugly. Got $$$ spend on house better! spend on all this for what? and its my ring, so what my friends say what... can't in bother ~
so he went to get a 0.3de, than erhm~ looks better.. than dear ask got 0.35 de meh.. later like too small ( he and his mouth, always like to talk rubbish) ... than the promoter say have le.. i did not know, diamonds got differnt by two decimal de :X , k~ in the end 0.33 looks the best ~ k, he say put back, when take bonus or what than see how... (act only) .
we got them to made the brand new engagement rings, couples out there, if you are not in a hurry to get the rings, dont buy on the spot and take those, ask them to make new ones. they do it for you. Takes about 3 months :)
snap snap~ got nothing to do, dear took out the ring, and told me how he manage to buy the ring, without me knowing and bringing it over to taiwan, also without me knowing ~ and what he planned, failed. haiyo~ suan le.. he is not a romantic person, i never expect anything from him, since we are already planning so much on our wedding. its okie~ back to three of us at ching jing, we chatted and drink hot tea outside the balcony, when to sleep earlier to gain more energy for tomorrow outing to "Her huan shan"~
