Taiwan

A 5 days and 4 nights stay in Taiwan was a good trip for me and my queen. It reminds me of the courtship and how loving both of us can be.. ;-)

After the Shangri-La, we headed back to Taipei to house ourselves in the pathetic hotel room. Shopping at the night market, visiting CKS memorial, Sun Yat Sun memorial and Taipei 101, the tallest building in the world....

Shangri La Farm Stay in Taiwan

After touching down in Taipei last night, we travel to the eastern part of Taiwan by train, Yilan.. After a disappointing welcome VIP hotel that is akin to our Hotel 81, Shangri-La is a pleasant surprise.. It's huge and luxurious that has 2 king size bed plus a mini balcony for city view..

Well, this is not the season for farming, a fruit farm.. The little farming area that we stay within has no fruits, except Mandarin Oranges..

Well, at least the shopping area at the city was fruitful.

The night activities at the farm-stay was fun, Shangri-La organised Tuluo, Tang Yuan making and wish lantern..

My Birthday today

As the saying goes...One year older, one year wiser.. I really hope that I had gain and matured over the past year.. While I continue to muster experience in life, finding relationship puzzle a challenge to fix. Money, money and more money.. It seems that my elders cannot get away of relating monthly allowances with me. They always "chase" me for the money but has not been remembering that I am still financing the installment of the $20K I had given them during my uni years.. With the allowance I am giving them, it works out to be almost $800/- a month.. While they feel that I am giving too little for what I am earning, they failed to understand that I am only saving as much as I am giving them...

They complain about the lack of visits I had paid with my small close family.. How frustrating at times, they just cannot understand as you grow older and career will take up most of my time during weekdays.. At times, my weekends are just a get away to get myself recharged, if I ever have one..

As I continue to hope that things will turn out better in the long run, it just seems that it is always the one step forward and 2 steps back.. None of my family other than my elder brother wishes my Happy Birthday today.. They may have always blame me for forgetting, not celebrating when its their turn, where is mine? Its not about being picky, its about fairness to me. I hope that they had been treasuring me as much as I have been, though visually they might felt that I am long forgotten, I have not..

Things will turn out better in 2010 as I try to bear my family another child of LIM.

Happy Birthday to myself..

Wii Fit for the unfit

1..2...3....4..... 2..2....3...4... Phew, I was "chanting" these numbers away as I pull my legs together for the next set of exercise guided by the Wii trainer.. I bought myself a Wii Nintendo with the Wii fit as a measure to couple gaming with exercises together as one.. More often than not, I was too lazy to shed away the extra kilos I had gain over a few months of unmeasured indulgences. This is actually a chance purchase as I caught the advertisement over Class 95FM that carrefour is running some Wii roadshow with discounts.. Well, I was in 2 minds on the purchase as the price although discounted is still a bit pricey.. I had bought it nonetheless.. Hopefully, with the Wii fit game, it can help me trim off some weight and strengthen my body as I continue to play..

Drop in work performance, fair statement?

Today, one of my colleague is told and served by my boss a performance warning notice for his ever nonexistence in work performance. I was shocked and amused by his reaction, "who says I am not working, it is just that no one knows". How could he have the cheek to say that and refused to acknowledge the warning letter? I think he got the wrong thing, value perception is not just about others' appreciation of you but your work results.. Recalcitrant.. Deserved to be sacked.

Estella seems to be sensitive to dust

Red swollen eyes and seemingly itchy hands.. It seems that she is very sensitive to dust.. The first time occurred when she was just months old and now again.

My Marriage turns 2

It seems just not long ago, we were walking down the aisle singing our song away as we celebrate our wedding at Le Meridien hotel.

We bought ourselves a timeless piece from City Chain after spending our dinner at Waruku.. Nothing special but a time to enjoy and reminisce those courtship time till date. We reaffirm our love promise to one another and seek a timeless piece as one to mark this day of celebration.
