It’s pay back time

Whenever I am less indulgent in my own life, I will be more attentive to my mum’s needs and wants. The other day, she mentioned that she doesn’t want to have margarine with her bread anymore. She wants to have SCS butter instead. I remembered that when I went to supermarket. I got the butter and at the same time replenished her Milkmaid condensed milk. While putting the milk cans into the kitchen cabinet, I “complained” to her that her consumption level of the condensed milk was very high. She smiled and replied, “Well, I paid for all your milk when you were young, now it’s your turn to buy milk for me.” Life is a vicious cycle. Yeah, it’s pay back time ^_^

忙也好，不忙也好

已經有三個星期沒寫東西了。最近生活應該還算不錯啦，所以也沒甚麼牢騷或怨氣需要發洩的。上個星期原本是想寫一篇關於自己的心靈狀態，可是整個星期就是沒辦法集中精神把那篇寫完。有些時候我就是那麼的懶散，不去想太多也不想做太多，任由生活拖著我走。偶爾過一下這種生活也是一種享受，可是優哉游哉的日子一旦過得太長久就會感覺生活好無味。生活是應該要放輕鬆但也不能無所事事，所以還是要安排一些事情來讓自己忙一忙。不管忙也好，不忙也好，不要讓自己起煩惱心才是最重要的。

Taiwan…umm…Part 5?

Taco complained that I didn’t post the many pictures taken at Danshuei. I told her, I wasn’t there so I couldn’t write about it. But to be fair, my friends did take a lot of nice pictures there so I have decided to pick some of them out. This fishing village is pretty scenic and many artists come here to paint. This old town is famous for it’s wide variety of snacks and foodstuff so obviously my friends had a great time eating from stall to stall. Here they are, 淡水 Danshuei and 八里 Bali as seen through the eyes of my friends.




This place apparently sells the best pepper pastry but unfortunately, my friends were not able to sample the famous puff. Just look at the queue and only one guy was making the pastry.


My friends discovered an interesting way to eat tomatoes…Taiwanese eat them with preserved prunes sandwiched in between and it’s actually quite nice.
Sunset at the MRT station…nice huh?

Last but not least, here are some random animal pictures taken during the trip. It was raining cats and dogs everywhere…besides us the tourists, this drenched kitten also seemed to be complaining about the weather.After all that rain brought on by the two typhoons, this dog obviously was enjoying a nice time basking in the sun at Yangmingshan.On the day of my departure, while waiting for my friend Clio at 西門盯 I saw this old man with his two huge dogs right in the middle of this busy district. The dogs were very attached to their owner but they were very well-behaved and friendly with whoever got close to them. The students and other passers-by all loved them but I’m sure Clio would have freaked out if she had witnessed this scene…hehehe!
