"And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain.

Don't carry the world upon your shoulder."

One after another, I have received disrespectful behaviour. The thing is disrespect is one of those core problems where you will not be able to solve because it kinda falls under the category "haters gonna hate". The best way to deal with this kind of behaviour is I guess to just show it to their face that well, they are being disrespectful or adopting an ignorance behaviour agains these people because after all, they don't know that they are being disrespectful. Annoying much? For sure. But life goes on.

This kind of life situation makes you ensure that you have to enjoy your life fully especially when you are travelling.

10D9N Taiwan Trip: Pier-2 Art Center, Kaohsiung

Back in Kaohsiung, we had the chance to check out Steel Play exhibition which is held at Pier-2 Art Center. The exhibition revolves around invention which helps the environment without losing the aspect of having fun in life. Totally what I need to see because a lot of people have forgotten how to have fun on daily basis.

Starting the fun day by posing first. Peace out!

The artists involved in the exhibition are multi-nationals. Here we have one from Japan with his invention, Kehai.

Do you feel healed after looking at his creation? I kinda got what he meant though despite the need of imagination and creativity.

Not all inventions has the information of the creator and the meaning behind the creation so sometimes you just have to use your own imagination and guess the meaning behind each invention. This one seems to have things to do with speed, I wonder if it's the blazing power of the current of life. This machine will give you a booster to race your enemies and even kick them out from the race, no? I sound like I am leading such brutal and savage life.

I kinda like the next invention that I am checking. This is like a scavenger machine from Mad Max world.

Whereby my travel buddy is checking something which looks water-detection machine which can be used in planet Mars. Hahaha.

Why the next invention comes with a set of chains. It kinda gives me the feeling of wanting to break away and fly far away to the blue sky. Haizz, I kinda feel emo now because people at work has been giving me an annoying time lately. Why can't we treat each other with respect, seriously?

In times like this, I just want to swing and forget about the pests in my current life. Actually, I should not even let them making me feel emo because they may not even think about me. Yep, mutual-ignorance is bliss. If they cannot ignore me, then it's their issue. Not my problem. Nuh uh.

If I can, I will try to produce beautiful flowers Everyday to make everybody feel happier. But then again, some bastards may just step on the flowers that I make. Oh well, they do that to the flowers that God creates so what do I expect. Hahaha oh my gawd, this post become darker and darker as it goes.

Hmm, the next structure kinda reminds me of childhood. Back then, gadgets are not really in the market yet and children are still playing outside on slides and everything. We always imagine ourselves in some kind of fort, defending it from other children (who pose as the enemies who want to take over the fort). Those days are fun and simple.

The last structure that we check out. I don't know if I am thinking about work too much but this structure looks like the body of someone round wearing tie. Hahaha do you see what I see?

"Cause you and I both loved, what you and I spoke of."

I wonder if I have started to miss Taiwan again because before I know it, I have already had a cup of Gong Cha's milk foam alishan tea and crispy fried chicken at both hands for dinner. Seriously, eating crispy fried chicken and drinking bubble tea is a superb combination when you are watching nice TV show. Nice TV dinner, albeit Taiwanese version. LOL.

Let's continue our morning walk to Pier-2 Art Center in Kaohsiung. If you continue your walk toward the pier, you will be able to see more art pieces as that's the premier spot for exhibition at Pier-2 Art Center.

Art building at Pier-2 Art Center in Kaohsiung Taiwan

Welcome to Pier-2 Art District. If we did not know better, we would have thought this place is just some random abandoned industrial area of Kaohsiung since this 2nd biggest city in Taiwan is known for its industrial economy.

The local residences are also painted with some kind of artsy wall mural. It kinda makes life's pretty interesting huh if you stay in some artsy building? Just random saying but I will feel proud if my house has become part of the preserved art district in a particular city.

Since this is not gonna be where I stay (for now, unless I find a Taiwanese hubby), let me just pose and chill for a while here.

Further down the road we saw a scary red monster which is about to attack someone who looks like Guan Yu (in a glance) but he's holding a...mop? Hmm, I don't really get what is the meaning behind this art piece. Treat your problem like it's not a big deal? Clean your shit? Hahaha I'm lost. But interesting nonetheless.

The water tanks are not exempted from some artsy touch of the Taiwanese artist.

Oh what is this structure that we are looking at? There seems to be an exhibition's going on here at Pier-2 Art Center. Let's check them out more in the next post.

Pier-2 Art Center is located at:

"I won't worry my life away"

There are so many uncertainties going around in the office now with the announcement of new reporting structure in the company. No one is certain if they are still going to work in the office in the next few months but seriously, it is kinda pointless to keep on thinking and assuming on what the next boss is going to do. Because she herself is probably not sure of what she's gonna do since the whole situation is still as fresh as a cake which just pop out from the oven. Of course there are rumours that we may get replaced by the boss' trusted fellas but oh well, it does not worth the worry because I know that Jesus will take care of me anyway. Woohoo!

Intermezzo is done and now we are back for another morning in Kaohsiung city. It was a fine morning day in March and oh boy, how I love the weather so much when it's not so hot and yet not so cold. The beauty of spring, I suppose.

Since the weather is so nice to wander around, we decided to visit Pier-2 Art Center, a used-to-be abandoned warehouse turned into fine arts exhibition and cultural centre. The warehouse has been touched by artistic hands of so many artists, each with their own dream and vision of what they want to see becoming of Pier-2 Art Center. I'm sure that there are many conflicts and hardships especially when creative minds try to work together but the end product of those struggles is the famous artistic streets and a stretch of artsy warehouses at Pier-2 Art Center.

These statues seem to be the fixed settler at Pier-2 Art Center because I think I saw them before at the exact same location four years ago. But I think they change "clothes" every now and then.

Ooh I definitely did not see these three new friends before. I love how they are in front of me and yet, not talking so talkatively to me. I've gotten pretty tired of entertaining "fake-friendly" people who can't wait to backstab me every now and then seriously. So yeah, this was pretty refreshing. Hahaha.

Talking to people at Pier-2 Art Center, Kaohsiung

You can walk toward the end of the street and you will see the painting of what seems to be MRT station on a building. It's kinda amazing to see that kind of painting on a house really because I don't think I can paint with such details on a complex structure like houses.

Could not help not posing in front of such nice artwork. Pardon my just-wake-up kind of pose. I was really just waking up like one hour ago to be honest with you. Yawnnn, what a beautiful morning~~~
