I miss Africa,
I miss riding in the back of a pickup,
I miss the 10 seater propeller planes,
I miss my African friends in Africa,
I miss the French lessons taught by a Welsh teacher,
I miss having to worry about being attacked by hyenas whilst driving across town,
I miss the one time we actually made my brother travel [...]
Bellevue, WA, pronounced bell-vue, meaning beautiful view in French. Sounds like a nice place to live, maybe I should move there one day! This is how I came to know of this place…
I watched the new Guy Ritchie Sherlock Holmes movie over the weekend and in the movie they play an Irish song during some [...]
I had the urge to watch something British the other day and The Office popped into my head. So I searched for Ricky Gervais movies. The Invention of Lying seemed an interesting title, not exactly a British film but close enough. The movie itself was ok, got a little dry from about half way through [...]
It seems more and more people in the US are speaking Spanglish or espangles.
BBC article on US Latinos: Hablas Spanglish?
Since the first time I heard about it, Chinglish has always meant incorrect and unfortunate use of English by Chinese people, such as the cardinal sin of ’slip carefully’. It’s a pity that the word Chinglish [...]
I was waiting for the bus back to Taipei at the 科技生活館 early Saturday morning, it was early about 8:30am. Didn’t sleep too well the night before so I was leaving early than I normally do. And I couldn’t help but notice a large crowd of girls randomly standing around the lobby. Most looked like [...]
I was reading this article on being happy, and it quoted emotional healing guru Deepak Chopra saying that “the most important thing to happiness is to make other people happy.”
It is a bit corny but I completely agree! Ok, so now you what makes me happy! Plus, it’s a two way street so pile on [...]
Wow, another 6 plus months have passed since I’ve posted.
Here are 10 things I have learned since then (in no particular order):
1. Friends and family are the ones who keep me sane.
2. Riding a motorcycle in Taiwan is dangerous, and never ride tired.
3. It isn’t worth getting caught up with work, especially when you’re off [...]
It’s been over half a year now since my last post and I’m blaming it on work. Fridat I took off. I deserve it having worked an average of at least 14 hours a day the past few months. I really don’t get it why they don’t at least shift the human resources around a [...]
So I’m at the metro station at Taipei main station during the weekend and it’s absolutely teeming with people. Kind of reminded me of what it’s like at Times Square station during rush hour in New York. The metro station doesn’t smell as bad as the subway station though…
We had missed out on the 尾牙 this year because our company is in cost saving mode. But at least our department didn’t deny us our 春酒. Although I thought that the food would be better! We all crammed into a large conference hall style large room, filling about 10 tables of 10. Nearly everyone [...]
