Many thanks to Irene, Jacky and my godson Brady took me for lunch.
Thank Ben, Queenie and Vera, I had a wonderful birthday dinner. The 35 years black lable whisky is really great.
Yeah...I'm 39 now!!!
萬分感謝好友們在百忙之中幫我慶生
真不敢相信我已經三十九歲了!!!!!

A very interesting Japanese party at Show-San's place

I've never expected that Japanese can host such a great party
Show-San is very energetic, friendly, talented and fun
He cooked different types of Japanese food
Every guest brought a bottle of good wine
We were all happy and had a great time
知道party是日本人辦的
並沒有很高的期待
勉為其難的出席了
而且還刻意地遲到了近二個小時
沒想到 沒想到..........
這群住在台灣的日本總經理們
非常有趣而且有才華
主人煮了滿桌日本料理
還彈琴唱歌
又有各式的心理測試問答
笑話不斷
這個週末夜好有趣啊

My godson Brad's B-day

Today is my godson Brad's birthday
Wish him happy every day!!!
好像就在彈指間
適宇就長這麼高 這麼壯
願他天天開心
平平安安
健健康康

Zoe's Tango Wedding Party

Zoe's Small Wedding Ceremony at Home

Zoe met her sweetheart Larry at Sitges tango festival in Spain a couple of years ago. At that time, Zoe was living in Barcelona and Larry in San Francisco. And tonight, they are married!! The wedding ceremony was very warm and cozy. Only 8 people were there (including bride and groom) to witness the beautiful moment. "The piece of paper" was signed!!! Wish them happy forever!!
Zoe和Larry的婚禮是在她們自家公寓辦的
連新郎新娘及證婚人一共才8人
婚禮前
賢慧的新娘還幫賓客張羅一桌美味的地中海美食
沙拉 主菜 甜點 紅酒
樣樣不缺
Zoe真是個能幹的巧婦
瘋狂的我們
在婚禮後
還去milonga跳舞
雖然舞者不多
但大多是職業舞者
就算是坐在場邊觀看
也是一番享受
Now I announce you as husband and wife!














You may kiss your bride!!

This is the piece of paper to prove that Zoe and Larry are married.

Business Trip in Princeton

Some colleagues are worried if I can drive between New York city and Princeton
It's not that difficult as I thought with GPS
Technology is really changing the world and making life more convenient.
因為Princeton並沒有便利的大眾運輸工具
而我需要往來飯店和兩個不同的辦公室
我便在紐約租了一台車
由曼哈頓開往紐澤西
藉由GPS和EZ-Pass之協助
一路輕鬆順暢
順利地抵達不同的目的地

Trees are so colorful and beautiful In Princeton right now

I really enjoy the views

But the weather is really too dry for me

深秋的普林斯頓真的很美

隨處可見色彩繽紛凋零的樹葉

只是天氣太乾

隨然定時狂抹乳液

臉部肌膚還是乾燥

I Purchased Wii in New York City

It's really hard to believe that Wii is still so difficult to get after launching one year in US
I'm very happy to get one at Nintendo Store near Rockefeller Center in New York

Can't wait to play it!!!!!!!!!

Wii在美國已經上市一年了

仍然是供不應求

各大購物網站均是Out Of Stock

經過電話查詢

得知在洛克斐勒中心旁的任天堂旗艦店

仍有40部存貨

我火速搭計程車前往採購

當我抵達時

店中僅剩4部存貨

我也購得了最後一套的Dance Dance Revolution(今年九月才上市)

滿足的我

提著沉重的Wii

在紐約街頭還閑蕩了好一會
好累啊!

Lilian's Sweet Home in Long Island

很高興能再次遇見Don和Lilian
我們三人居然喝完了三瓶紅酒
外加每人一杯Tequila
酒醺的我
都忘了自己是如何走到樓上的房間就寢

Flying to New York

工作似乎總在出差和休假前
如排山倒海般地湧來
草草結束辦公室的例行工作
趕著到媽媽家享用她親手烹調的愛心晚餐
小梓庭越來越會說話了
大臉煒煒依然安靜乖乖地躺在搖籃床上

回家後
便開始打包二週旅行的行頭
我的行李總重26.7公斤
國際線可以託運32公斤
但是紐約飛舊金山卻只有23公斤
我還得在紐約採購......
hmmm..希望不要超重太多

只有短短三小時的睡眠
就要搭車去機場

旅行的感覺真好!!
雖然有一半的時間要工作
我還是開心的出發

2007 US Trip

Itimerary
Nov. 08 - 09 Long Island
Nov. 09 - 11 New York City
Nov. 11 - 15 BMS Office
Nov. 15 - 19 San Francisco
Nov. 20 Back to Taipei

原本只是請兩天假
到舊金山參加Zoe的探戈婚禮
這種瘋狂舉動讓我的直屬主管覺得不可思議

"既然人都到美國了, 何不到總公司上班幾天, 和幾位部門中的資深主管碰面聊聊,增加自己工作技能並且建立關係??"

所以這趟美國行就從2天變成2週了!!
我也可以藉此到紐約度過週末
在曼哈頓逛街
看百老匯歌劇
參加六週年紀念的all night milonga
並到長島拜訪Lilian...

期待中......

Chris' B-Day Party at China Pa

Ping, Christine, Lance and I organized a surprised B-day party at China Pa for Chris. We pretended that we didn't know it's Chris' special day during dinner. After Live Band's first song, the singer started to sing Happy B-day song and some staff from Cina Pa did some shows to celebrate Chris' b-day. They also offered Chris a big bowl of alcohol for free. Can't believe that he finished all and still could walk out of China Pa.

Jim's Farewell Party

Jim Grills is my favorite boss and will be moving back to US next month. He'll manage us remotely though. During Jim's business trip in Taipei, I host a samll farewell dinner party at a french restaurant Louis XIV. Awesome food, great wine and a group of wonderful friends....

我的直屬主管 Jim Grills要被調回美國了

他將在美國遠距離的管理我們

很感謝他這兩年多在工作上的指導和勉勵

他是我生平第一個直屬的美國主管

有很好的管理風格

對所屬的亞洲籍員工非常有耐心

趁著他來台北出差

幫他辦了一個溫馨的告別 party

希望他能早日重返亞洲 !!

Vietnam Trip – Going Home

After one week training in Vietnam, I'm ready to go home today.
It is raining a lot.. On my way to airport, all of the major streets are flooded. I feel like “sailing” on the street. I was so worried that my limo might be broken at any time. I might not be able to catch my flight on time.
Luckily, I arrived airport safely after “sailing” on the street for one hour,.
胡志明市今天下著傾盆大雨
到處都積水數十公分深
在駛往機場之途中
真憂心我搭的賓士車會拋錨在路上
雙腳很明顯地感覺湍急的水在車底流動著
當看到車子接近機場的那一刻
心中大喊”感恩啊!”

Vietnam Trip - Local Food

Vietnam Trip – KTV night

What a fun night!

A group of us went to Karaoke to experience the interesting entertainment in Vietnam. The most interesting part is we could listen to 6 different languages of songs, Chinese, Taiwanese, Cantongnese, Japanese, Vietnamese, English. I just realized that most of my colleagues from different countries are so talented in singing. Cool!!!
It's my Indian colleagues Manish's first time to sing in public. After tonight, he is not Karaoke virgin anymore.
今晚的KTV活動
非常有趣
我們可以欣賞6種不同語言的歌曲
包括國語 粵語 台語 日文 越語 英文
似乎華人的歌聲略勝一籌

Vietnam Trip - Cruise Dinner

We had dinner at cruise tonight. Besides having meal with buffet style, we could also enjoy live band and traditional Vietnames dance. We all danced a lot at cruise and had great fun.

晚餐是在一艘遊艇上享用自助餐

遊西貢河享受兩岸夜景

雖然不如香港的維多利亞港和上海的外攤

也別有一番風情

船上還安排了各式表演

有現場樂隊 魔術秀 傳統舞蹈

愛跳舞的我

帶頭找其他同事隨著樂團一起飆舞

很多害羞的同事也嘗試放開身手一起同歡

大家的距離越來越近了

感情也越來越融洽
