CNY 2008 Day 4

Posted by jepoyzter under Random Post

My Chinese new year vacation is almost over. Almost less than 48 hours from now, I’ll once again go back to my usual boring routine. Getting up early and going back to work.

Today, I spend the whole afternoon walking around Taipei all by myself. I am quite uncomfortable staying home with both of my parents staying all day. I say, I must get out of the house.

Though we are all together, the whole house felt so empty. I don’t know whats the problem with my folks. But when I sense quietness around. Definitely theres something wrong, and I have to distance myself from them. Or else, I am doomed and stuck in this silent chaos. Whatever! Let them be.

So my first stop, BoAi Road 博愛路. This street is just 2-3 blocks away from Taipei Main Station. BoAi Road is branded as the “Mecca of Photographic Equipments”. Crowded with shops that sell cheap and affordable camera equipment. Whatever you look for they have it. FYI, It’s is where I bought my Sony Alplha 100 a year ago. Before the day Christian left for the Philippines, we compare some features of his DSLR with mine. I really quite envy the sound of his shutter. Very soft and really sound like digital. Mine was like a little too old style for something considered as high-end DSLR. But to hell with it, its been already a year ago and I shouldn’t be complaining anymore. I window shop for lenses for my cam. Since my cam is Sony I shouldn’t be expecting price range that would fit my budget. Though I already have a good kit lens. I just looked for something I can buy in the near future. Hehehe.

After that I went straight to NOVA an establishment or somewhat like a mall for computers and gadget (its somewhat like Virramall in Manila, Philippines). I canvassed for:

1. Nokia N82

2. Nokia N95

3. Palm Treo 750

4. Xbox 360

5. Playstation 3

6. Nintendo DS Lite

Gee, I shouldn’t have gone to NOVA. Coz I’ll end up depressed after seeing the tag on those cool gadget. 

So after a depressing stroll at gadget land. Off I go to AsiaWorld Mall at DunHua North Road 敦化北路 to buy some stuff for my friend Buena and Tina. It took me three hours to find what I want to give them. So I end up giving them a Fotune Pillow Case. I hope they’ll like it.

7:30 PM I went to our Saturday Church gathering. But I only stayed 30 minutes. I quite can’t stand being there too long. Then I went back to AsiaWorld and had a simple dinner at IKEA. I just starting to love their meatballs in gravy sauce with fries on the side. Yummy!

Then went to take a walk at XiMen Market 西門町, and canvassed again for phones and went back home.
