Pastor Kong Blogs…

Pastor Kong always speak to us about staying relevant to the society and one of the ways to stay relevant must be being more IT-savvy. Not only does our very own Pastor has a facebook account and twitter account, now he BLOGS as well…  

Despite his busy schedule travelling around the world, Pastor still manage to update and reply to messages regularly. It really inspires me to update my blog frequently and more importantly enlarge my capacity to do more for God. :)

Before I go, this is the URL of Pastor Kong’s blog: www.konghee.com/blog. I am sure you will enjoy the entries there!!

Shopping Guide in Taiwan

Other than food, the next good thing about Taiwan must be the shopping. I love to shop and I know this is quite unusual for a guy. But it feels good when you wear something nice. I believe it is the same for most people. Anyway, cut the story short, I am going to introduce you to a few places in Taiwan where you can shop for cheap and nice things.

Hotspot #1 – Shilin Night Market

Em and I simply love this place. We went there 4 times to shop for both our friends and ourselves. The streets are easy to navigate and most importantly, the clothes sold there are trendy, fashionable and affordable. Em went to this shop called “Diva” and bought some very nice dresses. As for me, I bought quite a number of T-shirts, vest and a leather jacket. Hehe =). In our opinion, this is the place not to be missed!!

Hotspot #2 – Ximending

This place is like the Far East Plaza of Singapore. We saw many Taiwanese youths there. Shops there are modern. However, things here are not cheap. Em and I enjoyed walking through the streets but it can get quite confused and you might just lose your way. So do bring a map along.

Hotspot #3 – Wu Fen Pu

This is where the wholesale retail is. You will see the clothes all put in big clear plastic bags. A lot of female clothes so it will be quite a disappointment for guys. The entire area is like a maze and the roads are narrow thus Em and I did not really enjoy shopping here. Moreover, we realised that some of the things sold here are more expensive than Shilin Night Market despite being exactly the same. 

To sum it up, we enjoyed shopping at Shilin market the most. However, this is quite subjective as I have heard of people preferring Wu Fen Pu or Ximending. In any case, the most important is finding something that really suits you :)

Mass Visa Dance

Recently, my wife and her cg, N416 went to Changi Airport for lunch and was asked to do the Visa dance. She showed me the video and I think it was really funny.

Then suddenly, I thought why don’t I use it as one of the forfeit for cg games. So I went to download the music and this is what my members did for their forfeit… It was really funny and there were full of laughter.

Not satisfied with just 4 people dancing, I decided to do a mass cg dance. Just look at the video below. :-)
