Beetle

August 09, 2010
I found this little creature on what looks like dung to me along the paths of Qing Tian Gang. Most likely left behind by the cattle that roams around there. Notice the trail of gloop at the side. Ewk. I like the shiny purple armour and the two orange flower-like feelers sticking out at the sides. Keep rolling those balls, dude. We need ya to...

A Dog's Dream

August 09, 2010
I am not an animal lover. I remember walking into a pet shop with my JC classmates and the girls were busy swooning over all the rabbits and hamsters trapped in plastic boxes. All I could recall was hoping to get out of the shop as soon as possible bcos it stinks. But I don't dislike animals. I'm fine with them as long...

Jiufen Wet Shifen Happy

August 07, 2010
The most important thing you must do at Jiufen is to try the chewy taro balls at Ah Gan Yi. It's so good he didn't want to share a bowl with me. The place also offers a view overlooking the hills and the coast of Keelung. But the weather (it was drizzling) and the weekend crowd dampened my spirits and supposedly cosy ambience....

August 07, 2010
We He went back to NTU. The campus was rather dead as school has not started. Seeing students cycling in campus reminds me of me cycling in THU. Nothing special about the buildings, classrooms and canteen but I took photos cos I know they remind him of the times where he had most of his meals, did his presentations with the masters students,...

No Service Apartment

August 06, 2010
First time staying in service apartments. Ironically, there isn't any service at the apartments which was fine for us because we don't need to ask for travel information. Ding Ding offers shared facilities like free internet, washing machine and public phone along the corridor. Our assigned room was right along the corridor. Angmoh next door did his laundry at 12 midnight and I had...

一夜台北

August 05, 2010
Night markets are awesome cos after eating, it's shopping time and after shopping you can go back and eat again when you're hungry. The best part is, both food and clothes are good and cheap, with lots of variety to choose from. Damn shiok! These are the night markets he brought me to in chronological order: 1. Huaxi Night Market / 華西街夜市 Long Shan...

Fathers of KMT

August 04, 2010
After rolling our heads around for 4 hrs (boy it felt long, too used to 1-2hrs on the last 3 flights), we reached Taipei at around 12.30pm. (Yes! The city is awake!) At Taoyuan International Airport, the first sound my ears picked up was Chinese, to be specific, Taiwanese Chinese. It was melodious. No curling of tongue and speech that sounds vulgar. As...
