We slept throughout the journey and arrived at taipei main station at 5am the next morning. There were no mrt trains operating at that time to bring us to the hotel. We took a cab to our hotel. (2 in a cab due to the limited space of the cab) We slept the whole day and woke up at 2pm while my dad went for his church 10am church service. As he was tired, he decided to stay in the hotel and sleep while we went ahead with our plans.
Plans for the day: Taipei 101 (emphasized by Cherry that we should not missed going there), Dinner at Mr Jay Restaurant (Jay Chow The Secret themed restaurant) and Wu fen Pu (place where one can get alot of girls' apparels and accessories)
We took the mrt to Taipei City Hall Station, followed by the free shuttle bus that goes directly to Taipei 101. We went up the observatory floor of Taipei 101 (99flr) and took some pictures. The best view to see the whole of Taipei.

Due to our rush for time, we took pictures of the necessary exhibits and took a bus to Mr Jay Restaurant. We ordered baked penne with sausage, pizza capricctosa, grapefruit juice, chocolate special and orange juice and shared among ourselves as the serving was big enough for four persons.

It costs 900TWD = $42. I would say it is worth the price as the food quality, service, ambience was 5 star rated. In Singapore, dining in a normal restaurant would have cost more than that much more we are at Jay Chow restaurant.

After dinner, we took a bus to Taipei Main Station and a train to Wu fen Pu (like sg bugis street but much bigger). We shopped around till 11pm and caught the last train to our hotel at Xi Men Ding. Due to time constraints, we had not enough time to shop the whole of Wu Fen Pu. We stayed up to watch the Taiwan drama (love or bread) and slept around 3-4am.
