Milonga @ Helena May Dance Studio





我個人非常喜歡這個舞會地點, 進入前會通過狹長的走道,並穿過一個綠意盎然的美麗花園, 舞池十分有味道, 有挑高的天花板和復古的擺設, 不想跳舞, 也可以在戶外呼吸新鮮的空氣, 今晚跳的很盡興, DJ宣布舞會結束時, 我一點都不想離開.....只好去喝一杯了...

Cantongnese Restaurant @ 陶源 in Hong Kong























Many thanks to my colleagues Doris and Pamela who took me to such a nice restaurant.

Tai Woo Sea Food Restaurant in Hong Kong





在銅鑼灣的這家店-太湖海鮮城, 在入口樓梯的牆壁上掛滿了各式獎狀及名人用餐的照片, 不知這家店是虛有其名還是我不會點菜, (點了螃蟹,琵琶蝦和三色豆腐) 覺得菜色普通, 略嫌油膩

Salsa @ Xperience in Hong Kong

I really love this Sunday night salsa party in Hong Kong. The host is super friendly. He even introduced me to the crowd that I'm from Taipei and asked people to keep me dance all night. The music is excellent!! After 2 hours salsa dancing at the party, I feel salsa is back to my life again. Hm...how come I forgot to take photos!!!

Exective Floor @ Park Lane Hotel




Due to many fairs in Hong Kong recently, the cost for each night to stay at Park Lane Hotel is HKD2,250+13% during my business trip. It's really too expensive in terms of the quality. Good thing for this hotel is the location. It's really close to our Hong Kong office, just one block away, it's also close to all of the shopping places in Causeway.
香港的旅館價格真是高的嚇人, 每次出差所付的房價都是屢創新高, 因為最近有很多展覽在香港舉行, 我住在柏寧酒店的費用是每晚港幣2,250+13%,這個酒店真的不怎麼樣,卻要付出如此高的代價,要不是就在香港辦公室的隔壁,真捨不得花公司的錢住在這

Family Lunch at Taipei 101









數週前,媽媽提及未曾登上台北101, 因此便和家人相約到位於85樓的欣葉餐廳用餐, 今今和倫倫都非常興奮,在轉乘電梯時, 都很有禮貌地和服務人員說謝謝, 雖然破費了近萬元,但是看到一家人開心的用餐,一切都是值得的

Went on a hike with mom






















Don't remember when was the last time I went hiking with mom. I'm really glad we two did it again. In my childhood, one of my nightmares was to go hiking with family in the early morning of every weekend. Mom "forced" all of us to do it no matter it's summer or winter. The only exception is rainy day. I used 'study" as a good excuse to escape from the family activity since high school. Now I kind of miss those family time.
My apartment is on a small hill, there are a couple of hiking trail in my neighborhood. So I can just walk there without driving, isn't it wonderful??
小時後最大的夢懨就是假日的登山, 不論冬夏, 健康的媽媽總是強迫全家到鄰近的登山步道爬山, 而且都是在很早的清晨, 我幼年時, 鮮少可以躲在被窩賴在床上享受慵懶假日清晨, 直到國中, 我以課業為由, 才得以在家人的假日登山活動中缺席
年紀漸長後, 卻越來越愛登山,喜歡和大自然接近, 享受雙腳踩在自然黃土的真實感 (我不喜歡走階梯), 自從五年前迷上探戈後, 我的登山活動好像就此畫上了休止符
今天心血來潮, 打電話給住在咫呎之遠的媽媽, 邀請她一同到後山走走, 母女兩就在這個涼爽的午後, 在家後方的"二叭子植物園"消磨了二小時, 沿路風景還算清幽,但是藍色的電線杆和周圍的景色顯的相當不協調, 新店市公實在不該加諸政治色彩於此....
