Had a heartwarming X'mas dinner cum gift exchange session at Crazy World Cafe 疯狂世界 last night ! I enjoyed myself very much throughout the night, i always treasure the fun times spent together with some long-time friends as years go by, i will always feel very nostalgic whenever we talk, laugh & reminisce about the good old days. I am sure the rest of the group felt the same way too ! :-) Just some info on this music cafe: Crazy World 疯狂世界 is located at 24 Temple Street, strategically within 5 minutes walking distance to Chinatown MRT Station. Crazy World 疯狂世界 is actually the brainchild of 2 crazy fans of Mayday (五月天)a popular 5-piece rock band in Taiwan that significantly changed the music scene in the early 2000′s. They attracted so many serious musicians, crazy fan girls, avid composers and youths then (who would now be nearing 30′s). One of their songs, or rather, their first song from their debut album, was titled "Crazy World 疯狂世界" and it spoke about the troubles of life, mundaneness of things and how people would wish to escape from the madness of life. With that, the 2 crazy fans now became their own bosses, held tightly dear to this idea and build what we know as the Crazy World Cafe today to realise their dream. Recorded & included the lyrics of this "Crazy World 疯狂世界" song by Mayday 五月天 & i strongly suggest you all play it & listen to this song while browsing my blog today !! Enjoy ! Lyrics of "疯狂的世界" by 五月天 如果说了后悔 是不是一切就能倒退 回忆多么美 活着多么狼狈 为什么这个世界 总要叫人尝伤悲 我不能了解 也不想了解 我好想好想飞 逃离这个疯狂的世界 那么多苦那么多累 那么多莫名的泪水 我好想好想飞 逃离这个疯狂的世界 如果是你发现了我 也别将我挽回 想了你一整夜 再也想不起你的脸 你是一种感觉 写在夏夜晚风里面 青春是挽不回的水 转眼消失在指间 用力的浪费 再用力的后悔 我好想好想飞 逃离这个疯狂的世界 那么多苦那么多累 那么多莫名的泪水 我好想好想飞 逃离这个疯狂的世界 如果是你发现了我 也别将我挽回 我好想好想飞 逃离这个疯狂的世界 那么多苦那么多累 那么多莫名的泪水 我好想好想飞 逃离这个疯狂的世界 如果是你发现了我 也别将我挽回 我好想好想飞 逃离这个疯狂的世界 那么多苦那么多累 那么多莫名的伤悲 我好想好想飞 逃离这个疯狂的世界 如果是你发现了我 也别将我挽回 A walk along Temple Street and you'll not miss the bright catchy orange signage and hopscotch on the pavement, inviting curious eyes from tourists and curious aunties. Since its doors opened in September 2010, this friendly cafe chooses to place its emphasis on the ‘music’ element of things, which undoubtedly, is not the norm for a F&B driven economy like ours. Well, things have been going pretty well and i sincerely hope they will continue to do well in this element. Aside from being surrounded with gastronomic aromas, the interior is pretty well thought designed. Walls are deliberately angled for maximum sound balancing without the echoey effects. A small cosy stage to house acts during music nights and events really help break away from the cafe monotony where you’ll just eat and scram. Indeed, it’s an escape from a crazy world into this Crazy World. Crazy World cafe, aside from their endeavours to support local acts, are also passionate for design and the arts. Much like many arty farty spaces, they too have a merchandise corner shoecasing some really quirky stuff from National Museum. What sets them apart is simply their on-the-go attitude that trickles down to the smallest details that surprised us. These are all my bought X'mas presents to be given away during the dinner at Crazy World Cafe. These are my little suprises gifts for the group ('Martial arts techniques' 武功秘籍 bags)- only to be given away near end of the whole X'mas exchange session. OK, now lets talk about the food. Don’t let the idea of a music design cafe fool you into thinking they serve trashy bites. Decent food and decent portions (for normal appetites). Pics of the X'mas Gift Exchange Session - all pretty & cute looking wrappers, of course with nice gifts in them !! Sijie got my all-time favourite martial art technique bag - 降龙十八掌 featured in The Legend of the Condor Heroes 射雕英雄傳 !
