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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
We’re now well into the recession of the century and analysts say that we most likely have not yet hit rock bottom. Lots of unheard of things are happening around the world and obviously tech heavy Taiwan is suffering as well.
I’m smart enough to get involved in the high tech industry right before the [...]
I got to work this morning and they were selling breakfast on the second floor instead of the first. There was a notice saying that they were de-poisoning (消毒) the first floor area. I didn’t think much of it.
Then in the morning we got an email from our secretary saying that we’d get free lunch [...]
Yesterday was our company’s annual sports day. It was a pretty big event with I guess more than 1000 people taking part. Apparently ours is always the biggest one out of all Hsinchu companies. And it’s also probably the only chance that I’ll get to see our CEO this year. Next time I’ll have to [...]
I had completely forgot that Halloween was coming up tomorrow. That was, until just before lunch a large crowd of kids from the kindergarten downstairs came rushing into our office. Our secretary had prepared a large bowl of candies for them, which was great of her to do so or else we would have had [...]
Being a Taiwanese citizen means that it’s obligatory for me to serve in the army. I was lucky enough to get out with one month basic training and 3 years work at a private company. So I’m off tomorrow to meet with the others doing substitute service at 8:20am in the morning. And it’ll be [...]
