Mad Cute Sheep at Chin Jing Farm!

On day 6 of my Taiwan trip, we set off early in the morning to Chin Jing farm which was located on top of a hill. You know how I’ve always complained about the road to Genting, but the journey we had was so much worse! In order to reach the farm, we had to change 3 times of bus and lastly a cab which totaled up to approximately 2 hours!

By the time we reached our destination, Stepf and Wing were already puking their lungs out. I was feeling sick in the stomach but not to the extent of puking, since I managed to sleep through the entire journey.

Taken in front of the highest 7 eleven in Taiwan. This was right after the girls were done puking XD

Chin Jing Little Swiss.

Quickly got myself a cup of hot coffee to ease my stomach.

Photobucket

Michael and Frank who were our tour guide. Is that a glowing holy grail or what? Jeez.

Photobucket

Posing with the famous Open 酱 (weird name) in 7 eleven. Why don’t we have cute cartoon characters in the 7 eleven here???

Photobucket

好可爱的拉车阿伯!

Photobucket

Little Swiss wasn’t the highest top yet. From the concept restaurant, we took a cab all the way up to the farm. Beautiful right!!!

Photobucket

The moment I reached there, I had completely got over the awful journey! It felt like all our sufferings were actually worth it!

Photobucket

Cheat one. No sheep show also. I think we went on the wrong day.

Photobucket

It was winter so the grass wasn’t green.

Photobucket

Frank made a perfect jumping Buddha wtf. He’s so cute!

Photobucket

Oh look, sheep!!!!!

Photobucket

Ready for some sheep feeding time!

Photobucket

Instruction on how to feed them. We bought a box of sheep food each from the vending machine. They all looked more like shit than food.

Photobucket

Believe it or not, Mike is really good with sheep. Apparently we have to “Baaaaaaaaa” and not “Mehhhhhhhh” at the sheep to lure them over! Mike mimicked it perfectly I almost thought he was a sheep reborn!

Photobucket

On a closer look, Mike does resemble these sheeps. Hiak hiak.

Photobucket

Cute little lambs were only allowed to eat grass.

Photobucket

Awww look at them! With their fur so white and clean and soft omgosh can I bring one home as my pet???

Photobucket

I mean look at them! So young and innocent and adorable!!!

Photobucket

We probably spent abut an hour there admiring the sheep as if we have never seen one in our life before. Indeed, that was my first time seeing a real sheep!

Photobucket

Before bidding farewell to the sheep. I look like a dumpling all wrapped up! Couldn’t help since it was too cold up there.

Photobucket

Stepf and I.

Photobucket

Breathtaking mountain view.

Photobucket

排排站。

Photobucket

Silhouette.

Photobucket

One of our many jump shots. Mike the attention seeker! Pfft.

Photobucket

No you don’t want to sit or lie on that grass. To be honest there was sheep dung everywhere! LOL.

Photobucket

Two men were found dead slaughtered by the black sheep wtf.

Photobucket

Bromance.

Photobucket

Bromance 2.

Photobucket

These guys are really good with jump shots.

Photobucket

And I have to admit, I’m pretty good at capturing the right moment also. Teehee.

Photobucket

Be careful where you step on. That’s what I was talking about!

Photobucket

HAHA I hope you aren’t eating as you read this! Nope, I’m not done with my Chin Jing Farm’s post yet. Don’t wanna make a long boring blog post so I shall continue our horse riding experience on the next one! :)

My Tiffany ♥Valentine♥ at Jogoya

note: he is not my boyfriend.

Here’s the Valentine post that I promised on February. I spent that special day with Sammy, my cute little mushroom who has finally got rid of his long hair. Doesn’t he look more adorable now? XD

.

Before anything else, I must show you my Valentine gift this year. That turquoise box, any girl would know! ♥

IMG_6431

Tiffany & Co heart pendant necklace that I’ve always wanted!

IMG_6458

I was so excited with the gift I couldn’t stop smiling for the whole night.

.

Thank you little mushroom to have gotten me Tiffany & Co! I love the gift as much as I adore you!

.

We celebrated at Jogoya before which we collected my Valentine present from Pavilion. Beautiful Chinese New Year decoration :)

IMG_6499

Believe it or not, it was my first time dining at Jogoya! To be honest, the food was rather disappointing. From what I’ve heard and read, the quality and variety of food at Jogoya used to be 5-star worthwhile, but now it seems that the standard has deteriorated (ever since the change of management, or so I heard).

IMG_6566

Sammy and I at the entrance.

IMG_6563

Upon arrival, we were served a complimentary Valentine’s Day cake which was probably the best dish of the day. Yummy strawberry mousse with loads of strawberry sauce!

IMG_6511

Sashimi. Finally a place where I could have as much salmon as I want!

IMG_6504

Flower crab, abalone, scallop etc.

IMG_6505

Couldn’t have enough of Haagen-Dazs. I’ve always failed to resist the temptation of green tea ice-cream ever since I had the first taste of it at Sushi Zanmai.

IMG_6513

Shark fin soup.

IMG_6514

One of the many chicken dishes that Sammy ordered. He’s such a huge fan of chicken I wonder if he’ll marry a chicken one day wtf.

IMG_6512

Chuka Kurage, Chasoba, Edamame etc.

IMG_6519

Tiny Chawanmushi.

IMG_6523

Cookies.

IMG_6526

Dim sum.

IMG_6527

Some balls that I don’t remember eating.

IMG_6528

Weird stuff O.o

IMG_6529

Calamari rings and . . ??

IMG_6530

Duck meat, sea urchin, sweet & sour chicken.

IMG_6532

Cheap sushi.

IMG_6533

Shishamo.

IMG_6536

Chocolate fondue marshmallow.

IMG_6534

Beef, pizza, escargot etc.

IMG_6538

Sea urchin tasted disgusting.

IMG_6539

Hot Cold pot which we didn’t get to taste at last cause the fire just wouldn’t light up.

IMG_6540

Takoyucky. Don’t bother, Jusco ones taste much better.

IMG_6541

Grilled salmon was acceptable.

IMG_6542

Coconut drink.

IMG_6543

Cheesy stuff. By that time I was already feeling so full and disgusted after all the awful food we forced into ourselves.

IMG_6544

Chocolate cake and cute mochi.

IMG_6545

Cheers to the fate that brought us together, and to our many days ahead.

IMG_6548

Despite the unsatisfactory meal, my Korean boy and I had a great time.

.

The foolish bunny couple wishes everyone Happy Valentine’s Day! LOL.

IMG_6564

Lesson learnt, never spend lavishly at Jogoya again as it failed to offer luxurious treatment. May it be my first and last visit, unless their standard improves. Tenji next time! Or any better suggestion?
