a glimpse of life in hydrexia + taipei in pictures 3

in a nut shell, i read one paper in 2 working days, that's it ="=
ally said that's the best part of starting at a new job, ppl end up doing nothing for the first week. then i remember my first week of re-entry to favco... i got an entire project on my 3rd day at work? haha... CWC i'll remember u for this.

ok, before i get busier than this, which is very likely because there's just no way work will be so free forever, lets continue to post some pics~

forgot this one from the weiquan ranch, really like it myself, so had to post it ^^

yup, as promised, danshui 淡水。we were on bikes again~ from danshui station to the fishermen harbour 渔人码头 was a short ride with loads of great sites to stop over for short breaks.

the scene along the bike trail :)

after about 2hr, we were there!

night scene at lovers' bridge, obviously with my camera this time, see de difference? ^^

we loved the shrimp fry 虾仁煎~~ we reckon it tastes much better than its famous good friend lala fry 蚵仔煎 leh~


ok, i'll dump the hotspring town beitou 北投 into this post as well, then probably there'll only be one more post left :)
beitou creek, which originates from hot spring earth-hot-valley 地热谷

味道

每一次离开,都是清理自己所有一切的时候。
和玮玮一样的毛病,总是把重要的、不重要的一切,只要不适用,就丢。却也总是会留下那些很少重温的信件,和两三件能让陌生的房间温暖起来的小物品,奇怪的selection process?结果,行李总是变得轻得不可思议。自己背上了,也会觉得,这就是我所有的财产呀? ^^

期待新工作的开始。在瑞典念书的时候就有幻想自己在material science field工作的情景呢^^
希望不会失望就好:)

最近很喜欢这首歌,送给你,辛晓琪《味道》

今天晚上的星星很少
不知道它们跑那去了
赤裸裸的天空
星星多寂廖
我以为伤心可以很少
我以为我能过的很好
谁知道一想你
思念苦无药
无处可逃
想念你的笑
想念你的外套
想念你白色袜子
和你身上的味道
我想念你的吻
和手指淡淡烟草味道
记忆中曾被爱的味道
