Taiwan 1

I was on a business trip to Taiwan (Kaoh Siung) 2 weeks ago since it was my first time to Taiwan, I was really excited. Upon arrival, we were greeted by 2 awesome guys from the host company. They took us to check-in into our hotel and immediately after that, we went sight-seeing.

The first thing that hit me was, they drive on the left side =)


Did you know they celebrated 'chap goh meh' for like a week? I didn't know that. They even closed the roads on certain locations just for this 'chap go meh' celebration; and every night during my stay there, at 9pm, they would have fireworks colouring the sky for about 10-15 minutes. I got some pics but I'm just too lazy to do any editing (not like I actually do any =P)



This old lady turn up to look at me after i snap this pic as though I invaded her private space. Ops!!


See those HUGE paper craft looking? LOL They even have Jesus at the far left.

Paper-Crafting 4

I've been trying more paper-crafting using different quality papers. I originally started with the ordinary 80mgs double A paper but eventually switched to the 135mgs drawing blocks. It is kind of too thick but it really builds solid models. 

So far I've been building characters cartoon characters and you can say Sponge Bob and Patrick Star is one of the easiest to do.



So I decided to do something more sophisticated and of course something bigger =) I came up with this



It took me about a week to complete the whole thing. Partly because I busy with other stuff but look at it now makes me feel awesome XD

Ophiuchus

Did you know that there is now a new constellation known as 'Ophiuchus'? Neither did I until yesterday when I was out with a friend and he told me about it. So with the new star being introduced, suddenly I've become a Libra instead of a Scorpio. With the addition of the new star, you are no longer what you think you are.

This new star isn't really something new as in it wasn't born yesterday or something like that. It actually has been around since ancient times and according to some sites, It is listed in Ptolemy's 48 constellations.

I liked the idea that I'm a Scorpio and suddenly I'm told I'm a Libra.. it feels weird. So from the poisonous Scorpio I'm now the Golden scales of Libra.

I'm not a hard-core horoscope believer and while it does feel kinda weird that I'm a Libra. I hardly ever remember my daily horoscope the minute I close the papers but somehow, I think it's kinda fun. I'm thinking, if someone were to ask me what's my sign, I'd probable say 'I'm Scorpion on a Golden scale' =)
