Wandering Fel

"I need a place that's hidden in the deep, 

where lonely angels sing you to your sleep."

Good evening people! Sunday is nearly over once again and I am already in my emo-mood. But there's something to look forward to this coming week and I seriously feel like an excited student waiting for a school holiday. Although sadly, my trip will only last during the weekend but it's good enough for someone who's stuck in corporate jungle on a daily basis. Hahaha. 

Sometimes I kinda wish there's night market in Singapore so that I can find food easily after working past 9PM. The office area is pretty much deserted after that particular timing. Geez. Needless to say, one of the highlight of my trip to Taiwan last spring is the visit to Fengjia Night Market, Taiwanese biggest night market in Taichung. 

The second food stall that we have to try no matter what is the da-chang-bao-xiao-chang which is directly translated to big sausage wrapping small sausage. One of my close friends has been raving about this ultimate street food from Taiwan and she even claimed that she has been eating this for 3x while she was in Taichung. While it tastes yummy I don't think I want to eat this for 3x in a row. The rice used for this street food is the glutinous rice which is more fattening than normal rice. So if you are eating this a lot, you better walk a lot to burn the calorie. But then again, calories consumed during holiday do not count, right? 

  如果要告别 如果今夜就要和一切告别

If have to say goodbye, if tonight I have to say farewell to everything,

I wonder if that time comes, who am I going to call?

 But then again, maybe there is no need to make a phone call anyway. Hahaha. 

Hello everyone! We are back on another weekend. Woots! Today has been pretty hot as usual but since landlord was not in, I did cheat a bit by turning on the air-con in my room for a good 30 minutes to cool down the room and myself. On this kind of hot day, I really feel like eating ice cream but I am going out later for dinner + dessert so maybe I should really restrain myself from over-eating now.

Talking about ice cream, once you are done eating the humongous ice cream from Miyahara, you should make your way to the right side of the ice cream parlour. That's where the grand entrance to Miyahara main store is located.

To dry fruit pieces coated in chocolate. Not sure if these fruits are still considered healthy but they do look good though. Miyahara also have chocolate pieces and bar with various variety from nuts, to fruits, to plain dark and milk chocolate. 

"Do you ever feel like breaking down?

Do you ever feel like out of place?"

I am seriously about to break down from frustration with someone who just cannot let go of her own stress and yet, putting the blame on me. Seriously if your stress arising from your own mind, could you please do not blame other people as the cause of what you do to yourself? I honestly find this S-T-U-P-I-D and a waste of my time. But apparently stupid people are everywhere and you have to manage a living by surviving around them. Oh yeay, life is so fun. Yaaasssssss~

When time is bad, it's time to have some ice cream. Although sadly, there is no Miyahara to be found in Singapore. Boo.

Scream for ice cream people! Okay, the queue was pretty civilised and in order so no screaming is required upon ordering. Hahaha. If you ask me how long did I queue for Miyahara ice cream, I suppose it's around 30 minutes? Queue seems to move faster when you are (1) not alone and (2) have wifi. 

An order of three scoops of ice cream comes with 7 choices of toppings (OMG, for real?? Yeah, it's real). It has become a humongous cup of ice cream + biscuits + cakes + tarts. We could not even see the chocolate ice cream anymore because it is the first ice cream flavour that the staff scooped for us. So the chocolate ice cream is located underneath all of this sweet mess. Hahaha.

"I thank God every day, I wake up feelin' this way."

Recently I have been unwillingly involved in so many unnecessary drama in life. I do not understand why people just want to poke me when I am just trying to live a peaceful life without offending anybody. But, I suppose maybe by being me, I offend someone somehow. One thing that I know for sure is I cannot stand faking. And I don't think I should change myself for anyone else ever. So yeah, if you don't like me, too bad. But if you keep poking me, I bet deep down you'd wanna be me too. Hahahaha.

Okay enough about this drama, let's continue our adventure in Carton King Creativity Park in Taichung. I'm surprised this location alone is taking 5 posts to tell story. We are now at the ending chapter of this saga and oh my gawd, the paper lamps sold at Taichung's main branch of Carton King really looks fantastic.

I really love this concept of paying admission fee + food/beverage voucher or souvenir store voucher. It kinda helps to justify the admission ticket price when you make the ticket multi-function in a way although it may be just another marketing gimmick. Maybe all of this lies in the psychology of consumer-buying. Hahaha oh my gawd, what am I talking about? I suppose I really need a drink since I started to talk rubbish.

那一年我们望着星空

nà yī nián wǒ men wàng zhe xīng kōng
That one year, we looked at the starry sky

有那么多的 灿烂的梦
yǒu nà me duō de càn làn de mèng
There were so many splendid dreams

When the weather is hot and you feel like sheltering yourself with a full-blown air-conditioner, it's time to go into the souvenir store at Carton King Creativity Park in Taichung. I do recommend you to check the souvenir store nonetheless because they have so many cute and interesting products made from carton and cardboard. Just like this cute newly wed paper couple which seriously looks pretty similar to their Japanese cousin, Danbo.

"It's just another day, nothing in my way. I don't wanna go, I don't wanna stay."

Sunday is officially over now and I feel so emo knowing that it's already Monday again. Sigh. But the sermon today was so good, it kinda gives me hope and strength to face the uphill battle. Hopefully, there are not many giants for the killing this week. After all, life would be so much easier if we all can live peacefully without killing each other. Hahaha.

Since it's gonna be awhile before the next holiday, let's just continue filling in the travel journal back from Taiwan trip last spring. The last time we were at Carton King Creativity Park, we were checking out the place from level 2 of the park. And that's when we saw so many places of interest from around the world which are all made from paper.

"Everybody's changing and I don't feel the same."

 It has been a while since the last time I listen to Keane. I fell in love with this English pop-rock band in my last year of undergraduate study in Newcastle and it is a pity they are not making songs anymore. Their songs kinda make me wanna travel back to the UK too but since I need to save more dollars to travel there, I decided to start the year 2017 by travelling to somewhere nearer to Singapore. =P

The last time we were at Carton King Creativity park, we have explored the mini zoo section since it is located on the way from the entrance of the park to the main attraction at the centre. We are now exploring the second level of the park by climbing up this flimsy-looking white structure. Thankfully the white structure pathway is not as flimsy and unstable as it looks, they turn out to be quite stable so you don't have to worry so much when you are climbing upstairs.
