Written on September 17, 2005 from the Raven Archives… A lot of us do not have the courage to go against our parents’ wishes and exercise our own free will. I don’t blame them. It’s scary. Especially for Chinese parents, there’s always that emotional blackmail hanging over your head. “We’ve done so much for you,” […]
Last weekend, I finally met up with Ex #1. He arrived to Taipei last Wednesday, gave me a call Thursday night but since I was having my lovely prime rib thanksgiving dinner, we decided to meet some other time. That other time seemed to be yesterday when he called me up at 10:40AM and wants […]
I’m a 20-something — 25 to be exact. If I should live till 100 (hopefully), that means I’m reaching the quarter of my life.I got this article years ago, and it amazes me on how much I could relate to it. That’s why, I’m posting this in my blog… to see if you guys also […]
I discovered that a lot of people do not like me. They think I’m too upbeat and happy — and it looks fake and superficial. Even Michael says it himself, “When I first knew you, I thought you were faking being happy because it’s impossible for someone to be happy ALL the time.”A lot of […]
One has to always put the end in mind. But that is not the only significant part of the journey. Keep in mind that when we start any journey, it is always the destination we look at. But once we reach the destination, it’s the journey that we will always remember. We should not be […]
In no particular order… 1) Finish 2 quick specs, 4 product summaries, 4 product presentations, 4 demo text and 5 web text — I’m going to die!!! 2) Ensure the smoothness of the Gala and sell the last 25 tickets (Don’t even ask me what this includes) 3) Find a place that can do my […]

I just found out that my ex-boyfriend will come to Taipei this week. *dun-dun-dun-duuuuuuuun* It will be the first time we’ll see each other since January. Mind you, we broke up eight months ago. For those who aren’t updated, my first boyfriend was Japanese and it was a tumulous up and down relationship which ended […]
“Do you know how many people out there would be willing to trade their lives for your exciting one in a heartbeat?!” Eric asked me as we were conversing over coffee outside Starbucks. “There are so many people out there who live uninteresting lives,” he continues. “Day in and day out, they just go to […]
Last Sunday, my organization held a nice brunch at Carnegie’s (#100, Anhe Road Sec. 1). A lot of people only see Carnegie’s as a meat market, but I find it to be one of the better Western brunch places in town. Not only are the prices reasonable, but the servings are pretty big too. Plus, […]
I’ve been very busy these past few days, and today, I have a full schedule. Work has been overwhelming. As I work in the PC industry, my team is working hard to prepare for the launch of a new slew of notebooks carrying Intel(R)’s new dual-core processors (coming on the first quarter of next year). […]
This weekend was as busy, yet was as relaxing as ever. I’ve done so much socializing my head would burst, and yet, I feel happy on how my weekend went. FridayFriday was taking part of the Canadian Society’s Social Hour at the Brass Monkey. Some friends and I went there to promote our organization’s Holiday […]
