I Love You

"I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close."

Things have been rough, but I hope we will pull through this period, perhaps.

Taiwan Trip Day 6 to Taipei 101

Can you spot Taipei 101 building? haha

The tour guide brought us to Taipei 101 building and shopping malls near there. Quite in love with Taiwan because they really have awesome foods and most importantly it's cheap haha. Didn't get a chance to dine in at Din Tai Feng :( cause we didn't have much time.

Didn't know there's the existence of agnes b cafe. Next time when I'm at Taipei I will definitely try it! :)

Agnes b cafe cakes, I love the dinosaur cake so cute!

The bird cafe hehe :D

After that, we headed down to Wu Fen Pu. I had heard from tons of my friends that it's a shopping paradise over there, clothes are dirt cheap :D

Finally spotted someone in Taiwan do rare birds as a pet! haha. This is love bird breed and I never see this breed in this colour before. It look quite the same as Big Bird but just that it's more colourful and has more red tones hehe :D

And, yes the stuff over at Wu Fen Pu is really fantastic! Pretty skirts selling at 4 bucks only and bags at 20 plus :O I will definitely head to Wu Fen Pu again if I'm at Taiwan :D It's a must go place :)

After shopping, we head to one of the night market for dinner.

The famous black pepper biscuit

This phone cover selling at 40 bucks cant believe it so exp?! So of course, I didn't brought it lol

Cutie pie :D

Last check in at Yuan de hotel. The room is super big and nice (5 stars rating)

Mummy didn't know she need to pull the toilet curtain down LOL

Love the dresser table in the toilet that bring out the vintage feel 

And just nice on that day there's a wedding held at the hotel :D 

Taiwan Trip Day 6 to Fairytale-castle Restaurant ''Wu Jiao Chuan Ban''

The tour guide brought us to one of the famous Taiwan restaurant for lunch. A Fairytale-castle restaurant called ''伍角船板'' (Five-dime Ship Driftwood). It is a two-storey building that is almost hidden behind banyan and other trees. The first level was the restaurant while the second level is a art museum to showcase some of the lovely artist art pieces that the owner love.

The art museum

 The decororation of the restaurant includes driftwood, high ceilings, spacious dinning spaces, huge glass windows by the wall, large wooden dinning tables and lots of greens.

One popular sticky-rice-like dessert, called xian naini (鮮奶泥), or fresh mild mud, is made from fresh milk and dipped with peanut powder.

The overall experience dining in the restaurant was kind of unique because you wouldn't be able to have this dining experience in Singapore because they will not have such a big space for you to build just one restaurant.

It was a relaxing setting, the whole interior design of the restaurant make you feel like you're feasting in the forest. The food was normal, not really that awesome. It's more on paying for the experiences instead of food. I guess it's not cheap for dinning in here luckily my lunch was included by the tour package :)

Taiwan Day 6 Trip to Famous Fengshui Center

Before we reached our destination, the famous fengshui center.  The tour guide touched abit of fengshui stuff. One of the famous thing about fengshui that people believe in is called Tian Lu.

Tian Lu is Jade Emperor favourite pet. This creature only eat gold, thus it's a symbol of the acquisition and preservation of wealth. It is a fierce creature with large fangs used to attacked demons and evil spirits. It is a protector for it's master.

The tour guide did bring out a few incidents that happen with Tian Lu. One of the example is, there was once an earthquake in Taiwan. The earthquake direction was towards a hotel but once the crack reached the hotel entrance, it changed direction. The explanation behind it was the hotel had a huge Tian Lu placed at the entrance. The Tian Lu is supposed to protect the owner and place thus even when the earthquake came it was avoided and no damage was cause to the hotel. This incident became such a big news that it went up to TV and was published in newspaper too.

After hearing it, I do believe in it. I mean rarely an earthquake will change it direction and turn the other way around. Moreover, there’s a reason behind it why it change the direction. Thus, I believe in it.

When we reached the placed, the master started to have some introduction about fengshui. It was really interesting.  After that, the fengshi master help us to see our life and future based on our date of birth and Chinese name. The master that told me about my life was accurate. She told me that B and I doesn’t match based on our characterwise which was quite true. She also mention that I will have a late marriage :(

Taiwan Trip Day 6 about Fengshui

The tour guide decide to bring us to a famous fengshui center since we had extra time in the morning. When we were in the bus the tour guide start to touch a few things about fengshui which really interest me.

He was asking us''guess which country seek into fengshui the most?'' The answer was Singapore. When I think about it,I do have to agree with that. With such a small country, everything we build must have a fengshui master to see. Just like the 5 towers of suntec building structure, if you take a look at the 5 building structure at suntec is shaped to represent our five finger. 

At the start, there were only four building without the thumb structure shaped building. After that, they start to seek the fengshui master and he told them you need to build one more building for which is the thumb shaped structure building so that it form a palm with 5 fingers which s able to hold on to the fortune. Right after, building the thumb structure shaped building the fortune really roll in. To believe or not to believe? haha

Another example will be the well known 7-11. The tour guide was saying nowadays it's not just the Chinese seeking for fengshui but the European too. The business owner for 7-11 seek help from the fengshui master as the business wasn't doing very good. 

In the past, the 7-11 logo has a huge 7 and they spell with an ELEVEN. So the fengshui master actually told the business owner that the last letter of the 11 should have a small letter 'n' instead of a big letter 'N'. 

Because when you write out the big letter 'N', the ending tip of the 'N' ends with an outward movement which bring out the fortune. It's like whatever you have earn you are not able to keep that fortune.

The fengshui master advice the business owner to change the last letter to a small letter 'n' so that the ending tip of the small letter 'n' hits the ground which actually helps to keep the fortune. Ever since they change to a new logo 7-11 starts to open alot of stores throughout the whole world.

7-11 current logo, I bet alot of people didn't even notice about the 7-11 logo is spell out with a small letter 'n' I find fengshui is so so interesting.

Taiwan Trip Day 6 to Vigor Kobo

We had our breakfast at the Yuan De Hotel, food was average. I decided for my next tour trip I will not waste money to actually book hotel stay which inclusive of breakfast. Firstly, the food is awful I rather go out and eat. Secondly, you need to wake up early to have breakfast. Lastly, it is quite costly. 

After breakfast, our first stop will be Vigor Kobo for a DIY pineapple tart making experience. It seems to be fun and I was super looking forward to it. I love to bake hehe :D When we reach the place I was really impressed by the place. They specially build this pineapple museums to showcase their pineapple brand history and also educate visitor how pineapple tart was made and many more. It was really a fun place, i don't mind to visit it one more time with boyfriend hehe :)

We had our DIY pineapple tart making before touring around the place. They had prepared the ingredients for us already. I thought we going to make the pineapple tart from scratch :(

 So I guess it's gonna be fast. These are the materials for our baking lesson. Wondering why is there a pen and their company tag card? It is for us to write down our name at the tag card so after the pineapple tart have bake finish this label will help us to differentiate which of the tarts belong to us hehe :D

The pale yellow paste is the outer layer of the pineapple tart and the dark yellow paste is the pineapple paste. The whole process was really fun, rolling the paste into small balls. Each of us will be able to bake 6 of our very own pineapple tarts :D

 This are the result, all ready to put it into the oven for baking time, excited much. :D

Time to have a tour around the place while waiting for our tart to be bake. This is the first thing you will see at the entrance the super big pineapple structure which really amazed me. We got a chance to take the escalator and enter into the pineapple world :)

The whole escalator process is about going to the third storey so the duration inside the pineapple is quite long. There had their company mascot all around ceiling of the pineapple. In total there have 13 mascot to represent their company.

 Tadaa super nice right? This is how it look like inside the huge pineapple hehe :D

 So once we reach the third level we were greeted by the presentation. A huge welcome with their mascot all around. So cute  ;D

 Took some pictures of their animation video :D

 After the video, we went to see their small factory of how they make the pineapple tart. Then we got to try their tart and I would say it is really really awesome!!! I am not a fan of pineapple tart but after eating it I fall in love with it. The paste is sweet but not too sweet super nice!

 The huge pineapple that we went inside for touring.

 Their king mascot :D

 one of the few mascot 

 I like the white mascot holding onto a horse head. I like the mascot because of it facial expression which show some naughtiness hehe ;D just like my boyfriend hehe

Mummy and I <3 We got our DIY pineapple tart :)

Simply in love with their packaging :D My first DIY pineapple tart
