Ganguro Find: Spring Floral Chiffon Mini Dress
This airy, gorgeous floral mini dress is sure to wow him on a date! Floral is a Spring staple, and combined with chiffon, some ruffles creates the most romantic, most feminine piece. Dress is a babydoll style, with red florals set against muave backdrop. Beautiful ruffles - this season's hottest trend - is seen at the deep neckline and tiered skirt hem. A cami/tank is suggested for layering under the dress.

Ganguro Find: Powder Pink Dumpling Satchel
If there's one accessory that you should never leave home without this Spring(besides the cell phone), it has to be this "Powder Pink Dumpling Satchel". Pink is the hottest hue this Spring season, and the feminine tone goes with just about any color wardrobe. (I know because I don't usually wear pink but carry pink handbags for a splash of color.) The gorgeous satchel is shaped like a dumpling as it has pleats right on the front (topped off with a girly bowtie) and has a wider top than bottom. Now this bag maybe doesn't fit an A4 size magazine, but it's roomy enough for tons of makeup and a little something else. It's made of sturdy patent leather, and comes with long shoulder straps for wearing over the shoulder if your hands are full. And at $29.99, who needs BagBorrowOrSteal!!

Ganguro Find: Almond Boho Chiffon Bubble Tunic
I've always loved fashion from the 70s era. And this "Almond Boho Chiffon Bubble Tunic" evokes just that hippie, romantic feeling with its airy chiffon and tier lace front. The gorgeous bubble poet sleeves and double-layer flare bodice would also work to hide those chubby arms/tummy. To achieve a modern-day hippie look or what I'd prefer to call bohemian sexy, layer a super mini denim skirt/shorts underneath this tunic. The key here is the denim mini skirt/shorts must be extremely short to create boho sexy. A few long necklaces and a pair of wooden sandals work to complete the look.

Partying on A Yacht: VIP only
When hubby suggested we celebrate his birthday by going clubbing on a yacht, I was so overjoyed with excitement. I thought here's my chance to show off my new ivory eyelet mini dress on the dance floor..ha! And plus I'd never partied on a yacht (or more accurately never been on a yacht) before, I thought this will be exciting!
The yacht party was an organized event and must be reserved days ahead. We arrived at Tansui Saturday evening and boarded the yacht by the river. Admission is $35 per person, cocktails are all free. And the DJ spun good tracks and hosted a great show. There must have been about a hundred party goers that night on the yacht. The riverside and yacht setting offered a different backdrop/mood for the party, unlike anything I've experienced in a regular club. It's definitely a memorable experience for me. Here're photos hubby snatched:

Miramar Mall
Hubby had to photograph a wedding in Taipei this past weekend. So he brought me along for his trip so that we could enjoy some time together in Taipei after he finishes work. He worked all day Saturday and I was so happy when we finally could check into a motel and head out to dinner. On Sunday, we visited the Miramar Mall, which has this giant ferry ride on the top of the mall. Since opening, Miramar Mall has been the favorite dating spot for couples in Taipei because of the ferry ride.
We both didn't feel particularly in the mood for shopping on that day so we had a little fun at the mall's arcade. Normally I'm not a video game person, but this arcade offers up many choices besides video games.
Oh I love bowling! This is fun!
Want an electronic horse ride?
How about a little drum playing?
Hubby's totally into violet gun shooting.
And we sang karaoke in a private booth.
With the touch of a few buttons, the KTV booth gives you and a friend enough space to rewind and relax for cheaper.

Sushi Express
When I was still a girl, Sushi just wasn't my favorite dish on our table no matter how hard my parents tried to convince me otherwise. Maybe it's because it's raw? Plus the taste of wasabi in your mounth is probably too overwhelming for a child.
During college I started to warm up to raw fish by taking on Terriyaki, Sushi, then finally Sashimi, and in the process discovered some excellent Japanese restaurants in Chicago. Ha.. just an example of how life-changing college was for me!! Sushi has been one of my favorite foods in the world ever since. And the restaurant chain "Sushi Express" here in Taiwan is simply Sushi heaven for me!
At Sushi Express, freshly made Sushi on small yellow plates are rotated around the Sushi bar on a moving belt. Delicious, ready to eat Sushi is only an arm's length away on the rotating belt for every customer.
Menu, soy Sauce, wasabi, napkins, chopsticks, and tea bags are already all set on the table when a customer is seated. A tap (serving hot water) is also right there on the table for you to make yourself a cup of green tea.
Each plate of Sushi costs 1USD, and the waiter only need to count the number of plates on your table to determine the check total. It's fast, delicious, and relatively cheaper than the Japanese restaurants in the States.
Yum!
