A Better Birthday Every Year

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, figured out chemistry in traditional Chinese on his own and passed all his exams with flying colours ;) We took a group photo outside the faculty. Mission accomplished.


We got lost in Nangang for a few hrs. No one has heard of Muzhi Mountain. The metro staff sent us in circles from one station to the next and we ended up at Bishan instead. The mini bus took forever to come and he had enough of time-wasting. He got mad at me for not finding the way and ruining his birthday. So we walked up a few km in silence. Luckily, this awesome view saved my ass.


Have you also wondered where did people take an elevation view of the city? Where were they standing? This was an answer to the mystery. Love the clouds behind. See I caught the little aeroplane. Looks like a potential terrorist attack doesn't it? Hoho.


This is Taipei on the 89th floor of 101. We were looking at 101 from the other side in the afternoon. What a long way from the other side! This was truly captivating. My favourite is the little green wheel on the left. Miramar is so tiny!

I insisted on a proper birthday cake this year and it comes with paper plates and little forks. How thoughtful. He blew out the candles and the room was full of smoke! We panicked a little. What if the smoke triggered the fire alarm or sprinkler? Of cos nothing happened. Bottoms-up for completing first half of the journey!


The most beautiful piece of memory is not captured on photos but imprinted in our minds. I hope the mesmerizing view of Taipei city made your birthday today memorable and unforgettable. Happy Birthday.
