Silly YX

Erm.. I wanted to KP abit again today. Recently I have been telling YX that i very buey song with him. Everyday I kp at him, everyday i tell him that he irritate me just like a small stone in my shoe. Very bad right? hahah but I cant help it leh. haiz..

The other day we had a quarrel and I scolded him upside down and he also shouted like mad. The second day, he went to buy this book on phsycology to try to know what I am so buey song about.

I also dunno why I buey song.

Yesterday we were on the phone and I was once again telling him off that he is irritating me and I feel like beating him up. Then I said things like I don't like him to do this and do that....

He told me,"I know whats your problem, when you were here in tw, you keep saying that this long seperation (we will not see each other for 3+ mths) will cost us to drift apart and this lets you feel insecure so you are always thrashing it out on me."

Me: Yah, maybe lor.

.. Silence......

Me: I want to beat u up lor, I will feel better that way.

YX: Just now that one is a the major evil reason and this is the minor evil reason.

I said: What minor evil?

YX: You want to beat me up but you can't do it now and you can't do it for another 3 months so you feel very irrtated.

ME: Yah lah!!! My god.. you know how much I want to pinch you? I want to pinch you, slap you and kick you hard so that you will fly and slam down on the floor with a loud 'BAM'!

YX: haiz, that is the precise reason why you are so buey song with me.

Me:Half half la.

YX: not only half half lor!!! Please lor! It's alot!

Me: WAhahahahaha!!!

Me: You still owe me 8 kicks.

YX: If hitting me can make you less pekcek, I dun mind you hit me.

Me: Please dun talk rubbish. You are saying this becuz you are not here and I can't hit you. I am going to accumulate all these pekcekness and hit you all at one go the next time I see you.

YX: Like that will be very painful.

Me: My words are final.

YX: I still remember your expression when you pinch me in TW. Your face so full of happiness and content.

Me: ............-_-"

YX: Serious, sometimes you get pek cek in TW also but after you pinch me, your pek cekness will reduce alot.

Me: WAhahahaha.. SHiok la! But now can't hit you, how?

YX: Haiz.. I also bo bian leh....

Haiz..

-------------------------------------------------

最近我一直對錘子不爽,我就是很想扁他。每天我都罵他說他很irritating,就像我鞋子裏的一粒沙。

上次我們吵架吵得很兇,我們都很大聲在對駡。之後他去買了一本有関心理學的書,想知道我到底是不爽他什麽。我真的就是不爽可是我不知道是爲什麽。

昨晚我們又在聊天,我又再次說他很irritating,我想給他一巴掌。然後有說一大堆他哪裏很遜。

他說,“我知道你問題在哪裏。你在臺灣的時候就一直認爲我們這次要分開那麽久,感情一定有變,我一定會做什麽不好的事,所以你現在一直要罵我。”

我:可能吧。

。。。

我:我就是想巴你一巴,這樣我就舒服多了。

他:我剛才說的是大病魔,這是小病魔。

我:什麽小病魔?

他:你很想打我可是你現在不能做道,還要等三個多月后才能打我,所以你不爽,你覺得我很煩。

我:是啦!你知道我有多想打你嗎?我想塞你一巴,捏你大大力,重重踢你一腳給你飛的遠遠的再大大力摔在地上還要發出很大聲的‘碰’!”

他:你不能這麽做所以你那麽不爽我。

我:一半咯。

他:不只一半好不好!是很多半好不好!

我:哇哈哈哈哈!!!

他:如果讓你捏我能減少你的‘必切’,我很樂意給你捏

講風涼話咯!你在那麽遠的地方,我又捏不到你你當然這麽說!!

我:我要累積然後一次過捏你!你還欠我八腳!

他:還記得你在臺灣時捏我的時候是多麽開心,臉上露出那種很滿足的表情。

我:...-_-

他:真的啊,在臺灣是你也有'必切',可是你捏了我后都會比較每那麽'必切'.

我:哇哈哈哈哈!爽啦! 可是現在打不到你怎麽辦?

他:我也不知道該怎麽辦...

----------------------------------------

What a funny conversation~

很好笑的對話咯!

At Taiwan airport, I was telling YX that he never smile properly in a photo before and I FORCED him to smile so I can take a photo. After scolding him several times, I got the photo I want.

在臺灣的機場時我說錘子怎麽從來都不好好微笑地拍照 。所以我逼他笑,讓我拍。在罵了他幾句后我終于得到我要的照片。

Taiwan - LanYang

After visiting Chuan Yi Centre, we went to a fortune god temple to watch Lanyang's opera. We reached there at about 4pm as YX needs to rehearse.

去過傳藝中心后, 我們到財神廟看蘭陽的演出。四點就到廟裏了因爲錘子他需要排戲。

Behind the temple is the Pacific Ocean and the other side of Pac Ocean will be America! Incredible right?

廟後面是太平洋耶!很神奇是嗎?

Er xin ah YX, that is Lanyang's stage. The white boards at the side of the stage were used for projecting the subtitles. Cool right?

擺什麽擺啊錘子。錘子後面是蘭陽要演出的舞臺。台旁的兩片白板是用來打字幕的。

Another Lagi er xin photo. Well, rehearsal haven't start cuz they wanna ban xian first and it was raining like hell.

還擺啊錘子!排練還沒開始,外面還在下大雨。

YX, Xiao Du, Xiao Du's wife and Guo Yuan. I haven't seen Guo Yuan for a long time, he still looks the same!

錘子,小杜,小杜太太和囯元。好久不見的囯元別來無恙哦~

Ban Xian... 扮仙。

They ban xian for 7 times that day! I watch until I dizzy lor.

他們那天扮了七次仙啊!天啊,我看到我很暈。

YX rehearsing now~ 錘子在拍戲了。

After rehearsing for awhile, the actors went to an open space beside the temple for dinner. The food looks good but they are not nice at all! Yucks. I ate 2 mouthful and returned to the temple. The others were still eating happily. EEee.. I should have taken photo of the food but I forgot.

排了一下他們就出來吃飯。演員都到廟旁去吃飯,那些菜看起來好像很好吃可是一點都不好吃咯。我只吃了兩口就不吃了,其他人還吃的津津有味。

YX in action!! 錘子登場!

Some misc photos of the show:

Xiao Du in action too! 小杜也登場了!

The horse was YX... 馬臉是詠翔。


I took some videos too from the show but I need to compress them before uploading. Will do it another day. So tired now...

Taiwan - Chuan Yi Centre

The last day in Taiwan! So sad, going back on the next day le. Today we are going to Chuan Yi Centre~ full name of the place is Chuan Tong Yi Shu Zhong Xin. (傳統藝術中心)I

In the morning, we went to have breakfast in a breakfast shop. Taiwan breakfast is very nice!

這是我在臺灣的最後一天,第二天就要囘新了。今天我們要去傳藝中心了!早上我們去吃早餐,我喜歡吃臺灣的早餐。

The breakfast was good and cheap too! 這就是我的早餐!好吃咧~

After breakfast, we visited YX house. Before going to his house, he keep telling me that I will hiam his apartment too small, too old, and I might not want to live in his house in future.

Actually his house is ok la, just like a 3-room flat but it's abit old. Come to think of it, most tw appartments are old leh cuz they don't repaint it after they built it.

吃了早餐我們到詠翔傢坐坐。之前他一直在擔心說我會嫌他傢很小,以後會不想住在他傢,還整天說,“我傢那麽小,那麽舊,怎麽供的起你這尊大佛啊?”

其實他傢也還好啦,跟三房式差不多咯。

This is the market below YX's house. 詠翔傢樓下的菜市場。

After visiting YX's house, we setted off to Yilan~ 去過他的傢后我們就要到宜蘭去了~

On the way, we went past one of YX's masterpiece in the city of Taipei.


Yap, this is it, made by YX. This is actually his other full time job, making models for advertisements. Sometimes he makes props for opera troupes too but not many opera troupes can afford such expensive props. For example, remember the 3 headed monster in White Snake by MHY? That 3 headed monster was also done by YX and his boss and that thing costed MHY $25,000. Sing dollars!

這是錘子做的,他驕傲的指給我看這就是他的作品之一。有一門手藝還是比較好,單靠歌仔戲的話可能就要餓死咯~!雪山隧道。一個很無聊的隧道。爲什麽無聊呢?因爲它有很多限制而這些限制又很不實際,很愚蠢。這隧道剛挖好時是只能讓官員去宜蘭度假時使用,普通人是不能用的哦!花了人民那麽多錢結果不讓人民用這隧道,大家當然都抗議,隧道才開放的。開放后又定了很多規則,不能開快過70或低過60還要跟前面的車子保持在一個標準的距離。很‘八百’的隧道還會硬硬在你車裏播廣播。如果你在聼收音機,收音機的廣播有時會變成隧道廣播,逼你聼他們的隧道規則。

錘子開車時我不時要提醒他:“快過70了,慢過60了!”

有時前面的車那麽慢,你要跟它保持距離,只好開慢過60。 如果開標準的 速度又不能跟前面的車保持距離。你說是不是很無聊?政府要保護隧道的牆壁是嗎?怕有人把它撞花啊?

This very super silly tunnel is call the snow mountain tunnel. Why is it so very stupid? because it has unrealistic regulations which is sometimes not feasible to follow~ First of all, they spent a hell lot of money to build this 12.9km tunnel then they do not allow ppl to use it! It was built solely for the government officials to use when they go yilan for holidays. This is very dumb and of cuz ppl start complaining, they then open it up for public.

Then there are these silly rules like you can't drive faster than 70km/h nor can you drive slower than 60km/h. You must also keep a standard distant away from the car in front using the lights in the tunnel as estimation. That is very dumb cuz YX came across a very slow driver in front. He needed to keep distant from him and yet maintain at a speed higher than 60km/h. If he maintain the speed at above 60km/h, he will get closer and closer to the car in front.

Fan lor! And stupid lor!

I keep shouting,"Lower than 60 le! too near to the car infront le!"

Make YX very stress also.

A petrol station in Yilan, I don't know why I took this photo also. Maybe becuz I want to blog that the petrol station there very generous, whenever we top up our petrol, they will give us mineral water. Not 1 bottle, not 2 bottles.. but 10 bottles at the highest record! That time we top up NT1400 and they gave us 10 bottles.

加油站,這是宜蘭的加油站。臺灣的加油站都很大方。我們打油他們都會送我們礦泉水,最多瓶那次有十瓶那麽多哦!新加坡的加油站還要累積分數才能換取一些鋼鍋。

The first thing I saw in the Chuan yi centre is this poster. My god.. I want so much to listen to Yu Kui Zhi LIVE! haiz... his voice is so super duper powerful lor. Look at him, so dashing right? Pekin opera lao sheng are always so dashing!

到了傳藝中心我馬上看到這個。唉,好想現場聼于魁智的唱腔啊!你看他,是不是很帥? 京劇的老生就是這麽帥。

Lao ma's favourite, GZX~ 老媽子最愛的歌仔戲!

There is a puppet exhibition in the centre and there were lots of dua ban puppets there. I was not allowed to take photos but i didn't know. So I took the above photos.

中心裏有木偶展覽厛,裏面有很多大扮的木偶哦!

Then we saw a parade, fishies getting married! 哇塞,有婚禮派隊哦!

YX said that one of the pink dancers is his friend but I don't know which one. Tough job, it's so hot and they have to dance in that thick costume!

錘子說其中一個穿粉紅色的舞者是他的朋友。不懂是哪一個咧。。。

lao ma said that the bride is quite pretty and the groom quite handsome. Stupid YX don't like me to comment that other guys are handsome lor.

老媽子說魚新娘挺美的和魚新郎挺帥的。哈哈,錘子不喜歡我說其他男人帥咯。

A street in the centre. Looks familiar?

傳譯中心的街道上。 是不是很面熟呢?

Another dua ban puppet! 多一個大扮木偶!

My god, which lady is that hiding behind the thin sash in such a sexy pose?

天啊,是哪位姑娘站在薄紗後面?

Hammer trying to play with the top but he is too lousy. It doesn't turn at all!

錘子想試試玩陀螺可是他太遜了,根本都轉不起來!

Fail! 遜!

Lao ma took photo with Xu Ya Fen and Shi Hui Jun! hahah.. big shots leh~

老媽子跟許亞芬還有石慧君拍照!

I was asked to take this photo with YX lor. Stupid YX everytime make me angry. I don't want to take photo with him lor!

老媽子叫我跟臭錘子拍這張照片。臭錘子每次都要惹我生氣我不要跟他拍照咯!

My favourite Kunqu! Unfortunately, I didn't get to see any kunqu in TW. Haiz... I wish to see kunqu live lor.

我最愛看昆曲!可惜到臺灣並沒有看到什麽昆曲演出。

Lao ma was feeding the old woman guava juice! hahah.. funny.. and what is that stupid yx doing? I was angry with him lor and he is trying to play a fool with me.

老媽子喂老婆婆喝水!臭錘子在破壞我的照片。

去過傳藝中心后我們就到廟裏等待看蘭陽的演出。

After going to the ChuanYi Arts Centre, we went to the god of fortune temple to watch Lanyang's performance. Took some photos there and I will put them up.... soon.

Taiwan - Dan Shui

We had lunch near our hotel and YX actually ate pig's brain!!!! EEEK ! Disgusting!!

我們去吃午餐.詠翔居然吃豬腦!!! 噁心!!!

Then we took MRT to see my Terra Cotta warriors first. Oooh.. so nice.

我們先到佈博物館看兵馬俑!

節約能源,暫停使用.

To save energy, this escalator is out of service.

Exaggerating lor, I have never seen something like this before. Then why put an escalator here? might as well don't put. Put stair case can le ma....

什麽東東啊?有必要那麽誇張嗎? 結果我們要自己爬兩層樓梯上來。

Must walk so fast mah?? rushing for time??

趕時間嗎?幹嗎走那麽快啊?天啊。

This day, 31 MAy, we went to Dan Shui. Ppl said its a pretty place so I must give it a go when I go TW.

三十一日這天我們去了淡水.聽説淡水很漂亮所以到臺灣來就要去看看咯~~

Dan Shui! 淡水!

Outside the unusual exhibition hall, there was this big gorrilla, lao ma wanted to take photo with it as she thought that it was very cute. my god... Then I kept kping that I want to see the exhibition becuz I am so interested in weird things. If you are a loyal reader of my blog like May, you will know that I always read up on weird and unusual things.

怪怪展覽厛門口有只大猩猩,老媽子興奮要跟它拍照。我嚷嚷著要進去看看。我最喜歡看怪怪的東西,越奇怪越好。And then ah boy wanted to eat this super tall ice cream. It tasted ok only but its selling point is its height.

高高的冰淇淋!阿翔要吃所以我們“公司”吃咯。味道只是一般可是它的賣點是它夠高~

After that we went to eat Ah Gei. Ah Gei is a very famous stall in Dan Shui and Ah boy recommended us to eat the dong fen wrapped in tofu. It's nice! but never NEVER add the sauce. The sauce is yucky... imo.

之後我們又去吃有名的阿給!阿翔介紹我們吃豆腐包冬粉。很好吃哦!可是千萬不要淋那個怪怪的漿料!漿料我不喜歡。

Stole a photo of Ah Gei from my cousin's blog. 去真吟的部落格偷了阿給的照片。上面還有那不好吃的漿料。

After that we finally went to see the unusual exhibition! 我們吃飽后就去看怪怪展覽了!


A specimen of dunno what! There is actually a scientific name for animals which were undiscovered, cryptids. This is a cryptid becuz no one knows what it is.

標本,不知道是什麽怪動物!

Strange tortoise! Actually this tortoise is not that strange to me, I have seen it somewhere in a book before and I think the name is some snapping turtle or what..

怪的烏龜!其實這烏龜對我來説也不會很怪。我在書上看過這品種。

Madam White Snake is here! 白娘子來了!

我: 快假裝跟那條蛇搏鬥!擺像一點!

翔: 救命啊!

我: 你一點都不像咯。


Me: Quick pretend to fight with the snake!

YX: Help!

Me: You are not convincing enough lor!

Hahaha.. lao ma zi is not bad.. Think lao ma zi is more convincing!

還是老媽子比較像咯!

And then we went back to hotel for a shower before going to have dinner with Xiao du, his wife and yx's mum.

然後是時候要囘飯店洗澡休息再去跟小杜,他太太還有詠翔的媽媽吃飯!

On the way back, YX was half dead already. Slap him lor.

看他,一點點小活動就累成這樣。有這麽累嗎?塞你一巴給你醒!我沒有睡你也不准睡!

Lao ma was tired too but she did not sleep. She kind of look forward to meeting yx's mum.

老媽子也很累可是她沒有睡覺。

囘到飯店阿翔的精神也來了,開始玩閙,拿阿鈿的頭套來玩。

Back at the hotel, YX suddenly got energy le, started playing a fool with Ah tian's wig! oops~

Then we went for dinner at a kopitiam with yx's mum. Du and his wife came to pick my mum, cousin and aunt first to go to the 'zi ca' shop first while me and yx go fetch yx's mum. We waited for a long time downstairs for his mum and YX keep going up to rush her. Think she was showering and blowing her hair lor. So Du waited for a very long time at the kopitiam, almost one hour. He was very paiseh cuz he dunno what to chit chat about and what to order. In the end, he ordered one smelly tofu and a vegetable with beef which my cousin, aunt and mum don't eat. .. hahaha.

我們之后要去跟詠翔的媽媽還有小杜兩公婆吃飯。小杜跟他太太先來接我老媽,表妹跟姑姑去煮炒店,我跟詠翔去接他媽媽。結果我們在他傢樓下等了很久,他媽媽好象在沖涼然後又吹頭髮還是怎樣。結果小杜在煮炒店等了很久,可能有一小時吧。他很尷尬咯因爲他也沒什麽話可以跟老媽聊也不懂要點什麽菜。 最後他點了臭豆腐和牛肉炒菜。這兩樣我們都不吃的,很好笑咯。

我們~ That's us, yx looking very serious.

This is the smelly tofu! 這就是超級臭的臭豆腐!

And we all can't stand it! 我們都受不了了!

After dinner, we all went to watch a movie, Pirates of the Carribean~ at a dunno what cinema. The show ended very late lor.. my god.. at 3 am. I wonder how du's wife can stand it with her tummy like that. She told me her baby kept kicking her in the cinema. Too noisy le.

吃過飯後,我們去看了電影,不懂是什麽名的戲院。電影很遲才結束咯,天啊,大概是三點多的時候吧。小杜的太太說她寶寶在電影院裏不停地踢她。我看是投訴説太吵了,她想睡覺啊!


On the way to the cinema, I wanted to take a photo of taipei 101. The photo turned out as above. I am too powerful le ba~!

去戲院的路上我想拍下101大廈可是照片居然變成這樣!太厲害了吧?!
