下雨天, 早上跟Dee坐在大學路Starbucks二樓聊天, 聽著外面的雨聲, 一杯Starbucks的香草密斯朵, 配一塊西點麵包. 中午時晶片中心辦主任歡送會, 吃喝玩樂沒上到什麼班. 晚上衝去波哥(Bog)品嘗茶飲小點, 之後上二樓的誠品書店逛逛, 看了許多攝影書, 瞄了一些小說, 還研究了一本墾丁旅遊書, 準備八月中去墾丁玩!! 逛完後突然決定看電影, 選了特務間諜(Salt). 蠻緊張刺激的動作片, 可是結局讓大家很傻眼@@
豐富的一天, 謝謝Dee騎車載我! (喔對Luke也是, 麻煩他們倆啦!)

豆花
Here's an interesting story...
Tonight I was at a restaurant reading some magazines and came across a column about 豆花妹 (蔡黃汝), a newcomer celebrity who just became famous this past year. I saw some of the shows she hosted like "電玩快打," and apparently she'll have a new song album out... So one of the sentence was like "她2008年7月時在台灣故事館打工賣豆花, 之後受很多網友熱愛, 應此一路紅到今." Wait...台灣故事館(Taiwan Storyland)...I've been there two times and the first time was in 2008.
Flash back to August 3, 2008. I was at Taiwan Storyland with a few of my friends from Taiwan Tech Trek summer internship. I distintively remembered that I saw a cute girl selling 豆花 at a food court. After buying a bowl from her, I took a pic of the stand with her in it.
So after reading that bit in the magazine, I went back home, took out the external hard drive, and searched in my pile of photos from TTT 2008. I found the pic, connected the two and mystery solved! Funny how a seemingly insignificant photo would finish the puzzle haha.

(Left: August 3, 2008 from my camera, the focus wasn't that great but oh well. Right: 2010 from eh...facebook)
Also, I think it's amazing how some could become well-known in less than a year or so. But if they are not humble about it or don't put the effort keeping up, their several years of fame could very well be the average "5 minutes of fame." I guess this means that we can still make piles of money if we start working in small vendors...just kidding, best persevere at our own work and we'll eventually find 0ur moment!

Cite Paris (心巴黎)
Buffet style restaurant in Queena Plaza Hotel (桂田酒店). It had great atmosphere, live piano/singing, illuminated floors, and comfortable seating. The food is just like your average hotel buffet in Taiwan. Outside, trails intertwine the garden infused with tropical plants, waterfalls, and Japanese architectures and sculptures. It's a great place to take a walk at night!

Tasty and Cake
I'm in Taiwan from June 27 to September 2!
My parents celebrated my birthday yesterday. We ate at Tasty (西題牛排館). It was really good, and the service even better! The cake below was not a cake. It was made from a towel!

After, we bought a taro and pudding cake home and downed it...the next day because we were so full after the meal!
