I visit Maggie's new place, it's way out in Hsindian (south Taipei) plus it's on top of a hill. Yeah, it took forever to get there, but it's really nice once you get into her estate. It's brand new 3 storey houses (yeah, landed property in Taipei). And gives you an awesome view of the nearby mountain range. Simply breathtaking. Her house is very nicely done up too.

We had some BBQ, then Emily & I left early to meet up with Ghee Hwee for KTV. The taxi ride back into the city district costs us 500NT. (Indicator of distance!)

KTV started out really fun. Cos there's only 3 of us singing, it was nice wholesome fun. Emily sang some Taiwanese songs (Taiyu), we did some rock numbers, it was hilarious. Then someone suggested alcohol.. We thought GaoLiang sounds interesting, plus we giggled at the listing "Yushan Gaoliang Chiewh".. chiewh is wine literally spelt.

So we ordered that. And we toasted the first glass to each other. And Emily & I were drunk.

Somehow Ghee Hwee single-handedly got us both home. Emily was worse off, she was sleeping on the couch and we had to walk her up 5 floors to her apartment.

It's all the blasted 5% paycut.... (easy excuse for all our sins).

Gaoliang incidentally is 38 to 63 percent alcohol content. My personal advice, do not ganbei with it.
