'rainy days and mondays' by Carpenter

i think the rain is making me sleepy...

what a random post..

craving for...

a warm blueberry pie with a big scoop of vanilla ice-cream
why?
because yesterday night was 'My blueberry Nights'
(sorry Lucia...i had was just in the mood and went to see it...>< gonmen!!)

My Blueberry Nights
by Wong Kar Wai

honestly, i was scared that i wouldn't understand a thing
becuase his movies are always so abstract
and his movies are always a 'hit-or-miss' thing
but i ADORE his graphics
every scence in his films is always so elegant and eccentric
i just can't help but drawn to the theater for the movie

plus it's Norah JONE!!!!! and JUDE LAW!!!! and Natalie Portman!!!
and gosh! Rachel Weisz was stunning in the movie!
she was so sexy!!
no strange meaning!! she is just simply SEXY in a very feminine way...like when i saw her in the movie, she really got me! i was like 'WOW! she is so....WOMAN! (haha!! sorry..i don't have any better word...)

Natalie Portman...eccentric!! i love her!

Norah Jones...she is so CUTE!!

Jude Law...(i think i am secretly falling in love with him)

i don't want to ruin the movie
so i am not going to say much

on top of the amazing cast
i love the story
the very little details
the flow of the movie was perfectly in tune with my pace
the BGM
the costume
the dialogue
the scences (each scence is a piece of artwork...there are so many of them!! )

every everything

my blueberry nights
i will get the DVD

Day 3 in Taiwan

we took a bus ride and went to a beautiful place an hr away from Tapei

it's called Kyufun

it's on the hillside with small shops (mostly food) haha!!

and it has red lanterns all hang along the path

i was starving because i didn't get to have breakfast!! so...i had some fish balls!!

SO YUMMY!!

and 'thousand years egg'...haha!! i think that's how the chinese supermarket in Canada translated it into.

well, it's duck eggs...but fermented one...haha!!sound gross but taste GREAT!

this!!! i remember eating it with mon chan 4 years ago in Taiwan night market!!

it's rice paper (like crepe) with peanut sugar and icecream

SOOOOOOOOOOOO good!!

and grilled HUGE mushroom!! so juicy!!!

this is the FAMOUS dish in Kyufun...

it's sweet potatos made into balls...it's very chewy!! mixed with different kind of beans and peas..

one word: DELICIOUS!!

we walked around Kyufun and visited many other shops...

it was a beautiful place...i was mistakened as japanese for more than 5 times though..haha!!

anyways, we took the bus back to Taipei...

and our stomachs were asking for more food..haha

so..we went to the famous soup meat buns place...xiao lon bao
