One-day trip to Yeliu and Jinshan 野柳金山一日遊

Annie came to Taiwan again, of course is for Sunny. Hahahaa... We then decided to go to Yeliu. It was a rainy day. The rain in Taiwan doesn't not pours like Malaysia, it drizzle the whole day making you feeling humid, wet and moody. We took bus from Taipei opposite of the United Press Building.
NT84. Travel time: around one hour. After getting down from the bus, we walk there. The geopark is located next to an elementary school.
Annie又來臺灣玩啦, 當然是找Sunny啦... 今天我們決定要去野柳玩. 又是下雨天. 臺灣的雨, 不會像大馬那樣傾盆而下, 通常幾小時就停了; 可是這裡的都是那些會飄的毛毛雨, 然你感到全身濕濕的, 悶悶的, 心情有時也會變得憂鬱. 我們從聯合報斜對面的地方搭公車前往野柳. NT84, 車程約一小時. 下車後, 我們步行到地質公園, 它就在一間國小旁邊.


Yeliu Geopark is famous for its various shapes of rocks due to sea erosion. Due to the components of the rock layer nearby the seashore is subjected to sea water erosion, various shapes of rocks were formed, such as candlelight stand, the famous queen's head, fairy's shoe, ginger-shapped rocks, mushroom heads and etc. See? Tourists are everywhere holding an umbrella or wearing a raincoat.
野柳地質公園之所以聞名臺灣, 主要是因為園區內有很多天然形成的各種形狀的岩石. 由於地質的關係, 加上海水的侵蝕與風化作用下, 形成了各種形狀的岩石, 如燭臺石, 盛名的女皇頭, 仙女鞋, 薑石和蕈狀岩等等. 看到了嗎? 全部人都撐雨傘或穿雨衣.

Ahhh, everywhere is wet. 啊, 到處都是濕濕的.

Candlelight stands 燭臺石


Fairy's shoe 仙女鞋


Ginger-shapped rocks 薑石


Mushroom heads 蕈狀岩


You can see many people were crowding at a place, they were taking their turns to take the picture with the Queen's head. We didn't manage to wait for our turn because many tourists were not following the queue, so i cropped the pictures.
很多人都聚集在園區內的一點, 就是為了要輪流跟那個女皇頭合照. 我們沒有被輪到, 因為有很多人不守次序, 所以我把拍到的相片框下來.


Suddenly we found that the other side was actually looked like queen's head too, so we took this picture. You can see many people were at the other side. LOL.
突然間, 我們發現在女皇頭的另一邊, 也有女皇頭的形狀, 所以我們換成在這裡拍照. 可以看到在另外一邊有很多人在拍照. 哈哈!


However, the scenery there would be even nicer without this bad weather.
要不是老天不作美, 這裡的風景應該比現在更好.


After that, we took bus to Jinshan for food. NT22. We went to the Jinbaoli Old Street. What is there along the old street? Food! All the old streets in Taiwan sell food, souvenirs, and local products, tourists go there to see those old building architectures.
過後, 我們便搭車到金山覓食. NT22. 我們去了金包里老街. 老街有什麼? 吃的! 全臺灣的老街都不是賣吃的, 就是一些紀念品和一些土產. 遊客也可以去看看那些老建築物.


We then stopped at this shop for late lunch. The food were nice, but we couldn't finished all. All for NT490.
我們到這間店吃飯. 東西很好吃, 可是太多我們吃不完. 全部NT490.


After that, we took bus from there back to Taipei. NT120. I slept all the way throughout the journey.
吃完飯我們就搭車回臺北了. NT120. 回程我從金山一路睡到臺北...

An ordinary Saturday morning

Since i moved to the new place few months ago, i never been to this morning night market. We bought two cups of latte from Family Mart.
自從搬到新的地方後, 都沒有來過這個菜市場買東西了. 我們在全家買了兩杯拿鐵.


Goods sold here is much cheaper than the other market nearby.
Why coming to this morning market? You will know tomorrow.
這裡的東西比附近的另一個市集便宜.
來菜市場幹嘛? 你明天就知道啦...

Life and dream 一生何求



What are we seeking in life?
Glamourous
Materialistic
Peacefulness
To be great in something so that we will be remembered
It could be something well-known or notorious

Actually
It doesn't matter
If you do not know the answer by now
Then might as well stop looking for it
Give your best in whatever you do
Do your duty responsibly
No regret or disappointment
That would be good enough

Been existed for 30 years in this planet
My friend told me that i will become independent
And everything would be fine
Don't worry, be happy

I like this song. Although Danny Chan had passed away for more than 10 years, this classical song is still very popular. This is what every singer wants, don't you agree?

我們的一生
追求的是什麼?
也許是追求名聞利養 也許是要安逸地過一生
也許要幹一番大事業, 讓人人都記得你
可能是會讓世人讚頌的, 也可能是遺臭萬年的

其實
我覺得是什麼都不重要
想不到的 就不要再煩惱啦
把本分做好
遵守自己的崗位
凡事無愧於心
應該就很好了

活了30年
朋友跟我說三十而立
所以人生自此應該會有不同吧

引用這首歌
當一個歌手, 雖然已過世十多年, 還有經典歌曲讓人唱頌
也不枉當歌手啦
你說是嗎?

Fireworks at Dadaocheng, Taipei

This is the annual firework festival of Taipei, yesterday night at Dadaocheng Wharf, Taipei. I went there last year for the first time, it was very crowded. And decided not to go this year.

However, i went again this year...to meet Seck John.
I went to meet Aaron around dinner time at Ximending, then we went there to meet his friends at MRT Shuanglian Station. OMG, there were many people queuing for the shuttle bus, so we decided to walk there.
Can you see many people are walking??


I couldn't find brother John... Jamming in the crowd of people, can't even move easily. After looking for some time, i decided to give up, apparently we were refering to the wrong landmark, a wrong tree... The fireworks show started. Approximately 21000 shoots for 30 minutes. This is the longest fireworks show i have ever watch. Very nice, with love shape, flowers, and the amazing smiley face!
Of course i didn't count by myself how many fireworks were shot, it's the information from the official ma...


On the way walking out, i met Seck John. Ya, the third tree from the stage...
We were jamming in the crowd of people again for one hour, in the distance of less than 300 metre!!


No more next year? We shall see... Hahaha...
Actually, it would be romantic if you go with your love one. Hehe...
After that, i went to meet my friends. Then we had a long night walk, chatting, and supper.

We were in the same class during Standard 1 in 1986. Haha, 23 years ago...

World Peace Festival

This is the event held at the open area outside of CKS Memorial Hall.


Apparently, i went there for Michael Wong! Thank you Ah Chiang for getting us a VIP seat. Hahaha... There were a Malaysian singer Soo something performing on the stage, claiming as contestant of Miss World.


After Michael's performance, we left during the performance of Jam Hsiao, the spoke person for this event, to avoid traffic jam. We wen to the nearby dimsum store to have supper.
That is cheap and nice! Pictures to be updated later...

Museum of World Religions

It was a windy Sunday afternoon, nice weather.
After getting off from the MRT Dingxi Station, i walked to meet them for lunch. After lunch, Ken fetch me to the museum by bike while Aaron and others were walking there. So Ken and i decided to go to the shopping mall next to the museum while waiting for them.
This is the museum, situated next to a shopping mall.

People are going to the shopping mall.

The museum exhibits on ten different world religions.
What interested me a lot are the architectural models of world's famous religious building. It was magnificently made and amazing. The museum is not big, you can finished walking around in few minutes, but you would need to spend time on each exhibition to appreciate and learn.

If you are interested in all these religion topics you can pay a visit although the ticket is a bit expensive NT150 for public and NT100 for student or handicapped.

Meaning of Travel 旅行的意義



歌名: 旅行的意義 - 陳綺貞
詞曲: 陳綺貞
編曲: 李雨寰

你看過了許多美景
你看過了許多美女
你迷失在地圖上每一道短暫的光陰

你品嚐了夜的巴黎
你踏過下雪的北京
你熟記書本裡每一句你最愛的真理

卻說不出你愛我的原因
卻說不出你欣賞我哪一種表情
卻說不出在什麼場合我曾讓你動心
說不出離開的原因

你累計了許多飛行
你用心挑選紀念品
你蒐集了地圖上每一次的風和日麗

你擁抱熱情的島嶼
你埋葬記憶的土耳其
你流連電影裡美麗的不真實的場景

卻說不出你愛我的原因
卻說不出你欣賞我哪一種表情
卻說不出在什麼場合我曾讓你分心
說不出旅行的意義

你勉強說出你愛我的原因
卻說不出你欣賞我哪一種表情
卻說不出在什麼場合我曾讓你分心
說不出離開的原因

勉強說出你為我寄出的每一封信
都是你離開的原因
你離開我 就是旅行的意義

It looked like there's someone also like to travel alone like me, however he did so because of his fading relationship with his girl friend in which he was unsure of having an official breakup; but for me, it's hard to get myself a suitable travel partner.
原來有人跟我一樣喜歡自己一個人去旅行, 不過他是因為要分手卻說不出口, 希望藉著這樣來讓彼此的感情變淡, 而我卻是因為很難找到適合的旅伴...

Happy Mid Autumn 中秋節快樂

Happy Aid Autumn to everyone. 祝大家中秋節快樂!

Anne organised a singing session for international students today at Neihu Holiday KTV. I woke up late today so i went here myself to join them. Hmmm, who are there in the KTV VIP room? Anne, Cristine, Nacvhaa, Marilyn and Yi Wei... Avelene came to join us later. This is my first time singing together with many international friends and we sang a lot of English songs today.
今天曉慧學姊月了幾個國際學生一起到內湖的好樂迪去唱K, 由於我睡遲了, 所以只好自己去赴會. 嗯, 看看有誰在包廂裡面... 學姊, Cristine, Nacvhaa, Marilyn 還有翊偉. Avelene稍後才出現. 這是我第一次跟那麼多外國學生在KTV唱歌, 我們唱了很多英文歌.


At night, Siti invited us (Seok Kooi, Frank and me) to her house for open house. Initially it was a Raya Open House last weekend, but it is postponed to today in conjunction with the Mid Autumn or Mooncake Festival. Since the local people like to barbecue during this festival, so we also have our Malaysian and Singaporean style of barbecue...without using any local-favourite barbrcue sause but only with butter and honey.
晚上, 西蒂邀請琡貴,方堯和我到她家聚餐. 原本是上個周末的開齋節聚餐, 結果延遲到今天才舉行, 也配合中秋節啦... 臺灣人在中秋節喜歡烤肉, 所以我們也來烤肉, 只是是馬來西亞和新加坡的方式, 不像本地人會用烤肉醬, 我們只用奶油和蜂蜜.

Besides having the barbecue, Siti also cooked some authentic malay-style dishes (with ingredients or spices which are not available here). Seok Kooi and i were very happy as if we are in hometown. Furthermore, we had some Raya cookies which can only be seen in Malaysia. Frank was happy that he tried many new food today. Maya was so cute and playful. It is hard for a women with a kid to be taken care of doing PhD at the same time. I have a lot to learn with Siti. Many thanks to everyone.
除了吃燒烤, 西蒂還煮了一些馬來菜餚 (有的材料和香料是臺灣找不到的). 琡貴和我都覺得很開心, 好像回到了家鄉. 除此之外, 還有一些開齋節糕餅, 都是以前只有在馬來西亞開齋節的時候才有的. 方堯很開心, 因為今天嘗到了很多他沒吃過的食物, 而他也很喜歡那些味道. 瑪雅真得很可愛. 一個女人需要照顧小孩, 同時也在修博士學位, 真的很不簡單. 我還有很多要向西蒂學習. 今天謝謝大家!

This is life... Haha...

Found these are interesting and inspiring, share with you:

Fate is just like being raped, if you cannot resist it then you better learn how to enjoy it;
Work is just like gang rape, if you cannot do it, other people will take your turn;
Life is just like masturbation, if you want to enjoy then you would have to work hard;
Learning is just like looking for prostitute, it not only cost you some money, but it also need your effort;
Salary is just like menstrual period, it is worrying if it doesn't come on time;
Brothers are like condom, no matter how big the hole is, they will cover for you...

像跟大家分享這些有意義且形容得貼切的字句:

命運就像強姦,反抗不了就要學會享受;
工作就像輪姦,你不行了就換別人來幹;
生活就像自慰,要享受就得靠自己雙手;
學習就像嫖妓,真是出了錢後還要出力;
工資就像月經,不準時來就會讓人擔心;
兄弟就像保險套,無論多大的洞都幫你罩著...

出生一張紙,開始一輩子;
畢業一張紙,奮鬥一輩子;
婚姻一張紙,折磨一輩子;
做官一張紙,鬥爭一輩子;
金錢一張紙,辛苦一輩子;
榮譽一張紙,虛名一輩子;
看病一張紙,痛苦一輩子;
悼詞一張紙,了結一輩子;
淡化這些紙,明白一輩子;
忘了這些紙,快樂一輩子!

Yingge Ceramics Museum

Yingge Ceramics Museum, a nice place to visit during the weekend. I went for half-day tour with Aaron and friends. We travelled by train to Yingge Railway Station and walk to the museum.
鶯歌陶瓷博物館, 一個蠻不錯的地方, 假日閒閒沒事可以來參觀. 今天跟小天還有一些朋友去了鶯歌半日遊. 我們早上從臺北坐火車到鶯歌車站, 然後步行到博物館.


After that, we went to the old street for lunch. It was very hot out there.
However, the noodle-in-a-pot was nice.
接著, 我們到鶯歌老街去吃午餐. 外面真得很熱. 不過老街陶館內的甕仔麵味道真得不錯.

Hsinchu & Nanliau 1-day trip 新竹南寮一日遊

It has been 3 months i didn't see Jimmy, so today i made a spontaneous decision by going to Hsinchu to meet him. I didn't realise that Taipei Bus Station has moved to a new location, so it took me a while by going there.
已經有三個月沒有見到東豪了, 所以今天就即興說要到新竹去找他玩. 啊, 忘了台北轉運站已經換地點了, 所以還花了一些時間去那邊坐車.


He brought me for late lunch at this shop.
Hmmm.., noodle in a small pot, special and delicious.
(i found the food in Hsinchu is far more better and delicious than Taipei, or perhaps i haven't explored thoroughly in Taipei...)
到新竹已經是下午了, 所以他帶我去這間店吃午餐.
甕仔麵, 蠻特別的, 也很好吃.
(感覺上新竹的東西比台北好吃很多, 還是在台北我還沒找到好吃的...)


After that, we went to RT-Mart for shopping. It is weird to do shopping there (i can do that in Taipei...). Anyway, i bought some books, a bowl with cover and some T-shirts. I made a hair cut there for NT100. Before leaving, each of us bought a bucket of ice-cream. Ha, now on the way to Nanliau.
過後, 我們到大潤發去購物. 來新竹採購好像很奇怪, 因為東西也可以在台北買啊. 我買了幾本書, 一個含蓋的磁碗, 還有兩件T恤, 也在那邊順便去把頭髮剪短. 臨走前, 我們各自買了一桶阿奇濃冰淇淋. 哈, 我們現在要去南寮啦...


Oh my god, the scenery there is so beautiful. So relaxing although there were many people there. We chose a place to sit down to eat the ice-cream. It was so tranquilising feeling the breeze while eating the ice-cream.
天啊, 怎麼那裡的風景那麼美! 感覺上就很舒服, 雖然那邊人山人海... 我們找了一個地方坐下來吃冰淇淋. 在涼風習習下吃著冰淇淋, 真讓人心曠神怡.


Shit, i just uptake the calorie of almost a set meal of fast food by finishing the whole bucket of ice-cream!
慘了, 我吃完一整桶才發現已經攝取很多的卡路里, 差不多等於一份套餐了.


People were busy taking pictures.
大家都忙著拍照.


The kites looked like sperms swimming towards the ovum (sun), haha...
風箏與太陽, 看起來好像精子游向卵子, 呵呵...


Moist and rot-resistance fiber wood looked like a real wood...
耐濕氣腐蝕的纖維木, 如假包換!


Chiang came to meet us there with his cousin sister. We then went up to the signalling tower for sight seeing at the tourist information centre.
阿強後來跟他表姊來跟我們會合, 我們到遊客中心的瞭望臺上面看風景.


After that, four of us went for dinner here. "3-cup mushroom" set meal.
過後我們來這邊吃晚餐. 三杯鮮菇套餐.


We then called it a day. After having a short walk at the secret garden, Jimmy then sent me to the bus terminal going back to Taipei. Thank you so much!
歡樂時光過的特別快, 又是時候講掰掰... 去了秘密花園散步後, 幾米便載我去車站坐車回臺北. 謝謝你喔!
