Tpe Photo Blog

finally! i'm getting down to bloggin about the trip... won't be alot of words simply because I'm lazy. And as they say, a picture paints a thousand words, so I'll let the pictures do (most of) the talking =)

And as I always do, I won't be posting day by day events... but just whatever I feel categorizes well together. This time, I shall we starting with f-o-o-d... because thats always been and always will be the best part about tpe...

Our ice feast and a very delicious "guan cai ban" on the day we arrived in tpe =)
If you are wondering, the ice on the left is coffee flavour.. to me, it was just coffee ice, but our coffee lovers simply loved it ;). I still prefer mango haha

SH just had to buy this when he saw the packaging. And how amused we were when we realised the bread was really shaped like a banana... or should I say shaped vaguely like one. Looks more like a boomerang to me =P. And yes, I know the word 'shape' is a very sensitive word these days... *frown*. Expecting some comments to appear under this post soon? *grin*

Fried Durian! in danshui... but the weather was far too hot (hot, is simply an understatement) to even have that urge to try this. Next time maybe hehe...

One of the many 'bian dang' that we had... this one that SH had (Chicken noodles) on the night of the concert, was quite good.. but apparently the best 'bian dang' we ever had.. and we always went back for more, I haven't got photos of it heh.

Here we are grinning like idiots, pointing at who-knows-what because SH didn't angle his camera correctly to show what we are so happy about hahha. Anyway, the answer revealed below!

Its the absolutely fantastic, heat-reducing, mouth-watering, superlicious, can't-get-anywhere-else-but-at-ice-monster's mango ice!!

The focus of this picture... its not the man... but notice the big tenticles in the foreground? Gotta be careful while typing the word tenticles... otherwise it'll be hey, shall we have some test- ermm
tenticles?

The famous "hao da" chicken cutlet. However, the best one is not at shilin, as everyone knows it. Try this one out at Shih Da Night Market. Its the 2nd year we've gone back to eat it and it still tastes great ;)

Another must eat at Shih Da! The best Dou Hua you can ever eat... its true. They won't really sell it to you plain because its tasteless. The brilliance of it comes from the choice of redbean / barley/ peanut soups that they combine with it.

I love 'lu wei'! And again.. this is at Shih Da... definitely the ultimate night market to feast at. Just looking at this picture makes me so hungry now. That day.. was 'intestine day'... SH took so many that ours cost a bomb.. 3 times the cost of what everyone else was paying =_=. But still, I gotta say.. the taste... is worth it!

On the day we were going to fly back to s'pore... we headed out to have steamboat. We figured.. how can you be in tw and not eat steamboat. Didn't regret it... because the variety was so great, it was unbelieveable. Especially the icecream, fruits, desserts.... as compared to what we get here. But this was probably the reason for the bad sorethroat I got after coming back hahaha.

又是我想太多嗎?

沒想到過了那麼久, 還是會有纏繞不散的心結. 也就因為那張不該是我的DVD.

不只是, 不該是我的, 它也應該是不存在的.

我知道大家因為珍惜友誼才不攤開來說, 都悶在心理面... , 所以我才覺得應該在這裡說一下... 希望不會引爆第三個世界大戰 =).

我甲在兩對朋友之間...

首先, 是把DVD交給我的朋友. 她要我給的承諾就是不會再複製... 知道她是辛苦得來的, 我當然答應了她.

另外一邊則是希望我信任的朋友...

我一直不能答應你們的要求, 就因為那當初的承諾. 我答應了她, 我就沒辦法不守信用.
如果覺得是我自私而不肯分享的話, 或覺得我不夠信任你們, 我也只能接受...

This is a promise that I have to keep. 也只能懇求你們諒解...

Feeling energized at 3.30am

weird... but true. haven't sweated it out like that in a long while. Haven't had a long day of running around in a long time.

And yea, i definitely do miss it. Even looking at the crew there... how envious of them I am, I wish I could return to that bit of the past once again. The tiredness, the perspiration, the walking, standing, running, waiting, and the heat... call me 'bian tai', but these are still what gives me satisfaction, as compared to sitting in an office or even staying in the studio. Although yes, I still love music and making music very much.

I don't know if I should rethink my path.

Probably its just there's that RPG character around that makes me feel this way now.. but somehow I really still miss putting together live entertainment....

I guess, I just can't be enclosed....

Are these silly thoughts? I wonder...
