a Butterfly of La Vita, 自由が丘

What do you think about a butterfly? Many people thinks it's just an animal with colorful wings and sucking up nectar from flower. Meanwhile, other peoples might have a different point of view. It  might be an object to focus on to a photographer, an inspiration to a designer, a lovely feeling(Eg. I've got butterflies in my stomach whenever I saw you) and Ashton Kutcher thinks that its an effect.

Well for me, I thinks that it's a memory of a moment. It come and make a stop. Enlightens the moment for you. So you laugh, you cry, you felt angry, and perhaps you don't give a shyte about it. Whether you relish it's present or not, it's gone by now, flatteringly. Like a butterfly.  

I've got a little butterfly flits by my mind today. So I'm gonna write about it (I have to update something). It's an old throwback at around end of December 2012. I remembered its a Sunday morning, winter. I woke up and feels like going an unknown town and walk for the whole day. I don't know why but I like to walk for a long distance when I'm stressed or unhappy. It's pacifying. So I browsed through the web and found my destination. 自由が丘, Tokyo. Roughly 50 minutes ride of 电车 from my place. 
I went there just to relax and eat some cakes as the web strongly recommended it. The moment I step out of the station, I was surprised to found that this place is way too relaxing. There are no skyscrapers which is unbelievable cause I'm still in Tokyo, that urban city! I felt in love instantly. The buildings here are so vintage and the atmosphere is calm. There are still peoples around but you can't hear any noise. Still and silence in a good way. I headed straight to the place that I want to go. La Vita.  

 This small town is totally a darling vintage town. Thought you've came to outskirt town of Europe. A lil bit 残念 that I came at Sunday. Many shops only operate on the morning and closed when I get there.
one of the well-designed houses. Surprisingly, many rich peoples lives here. 


there are many shopping complex too. and old folks(that's why so peaceful XD) 
there are benches for couple to paktor or rest. 




After spending 3 hours worshiping the town. I decided to find the town's top rating cake house. I challenged myself to find the shop without using GPS. So I ended up wandering around this mesmerizing town and finding the shop for an hour. Sigh..
Mont St. Clair the top rating patisserie.  
Shop looks ordinary enough to makes ppl doubt about the quality. I was like 'har..this one a. tiok bo tiok'. Well I went in eventually. And got to wait a queue for 20 minutes. Now i believe the quality. The cake is EXPENSIVE! 3 lil pieces for almost 2000yen(RM70). But it do taste good la. XD 
End of my alone spontaneous one day trip. I felt lonely and helpless when I'm lost while finding the patisserie. But after all this, I still think I might like travelling alone. As I'm always alone. No need to talk about anything, just focus on feeling the atmosphere, admiring the building. It's cool and calming.
