留宿火车站记~凌晨的火车站空荡荡的
since our flight is at 8am...we had to take the 5am bus to the airport.so we decided to stay at the taipei railway station till our bus ride.

there were only some taxi drivers n 7-11 workers

one of the security managers tot we were moving house to another place....
hahha...有这么夸张吗...
but honestly we had a hard time to think of how were we suppose to move all these to the bus station which is near to this railway station...we were unable to take all these at one time..

luckily there was a very helpful man who volunteered to help us to carry the big box...thank u very muchie, mr Chew~! I couldnt believe tht nowadays ppl who r so kind still exist out there... :P

I like this bottle alot~hehee




we then took the 5am bus to the airport.
tht was a really distressed day....urgh...tiring~
our luggages were all overloaded...n we had to take out our stuffs from the luggage n carry them by hand.....we had to carry them n our usual hand luggage here n there....HECK....those things were freakingly heavy...
the consequence : I fell asleep while waiting for our flight.....I fell asleep on the plane even b4 the plan takes off~I slept like a piece of dead meat on the plane from the very beginning until we reach KLIA.
