Lunch with Ken Yang is a great experience, a person full of passion and love for culture and music, Ken is the owner of a few indie label in Taiwan – Wind Record did a lot of interesting project and dig in culture music scene, the thing impressed me is the channel distribution strategy Ken did, according to him, the traditional record outlet only account for 25% of his total sales. So the shrink of retailing , even SARS did a little harm to his business, we met in the Executive Yaun's consulting meeting and set up appointment the following day, he mentioned that Social Club is coming to Taiwan on Oct. and had secure 10 tickets for good friends, I am among the candidate list, well, I am flattered and honored, as to see the Cuban legendary musician is a rare change, I send a big OK immediately.

I am happy to indirectly told him why I joint the new industry from entertainment and how the idea and decision developed, last night is a terrible night, I need to finish the power point for submission today for Friday's speech, the subject I am gonna deliver is " Network management and EC after SARS ", The invitation comes so late that I only have less than 3 days to prepare this very new subject, last night, when working on my home laptop, one bottom kills my 2 more hours hard work, no secure, no copy, and it pass midnight already, I was so frustrated and went to bad .

Set up the alarm at 5 am this morning, I finally complete this tough task, it's 7:30 am right now, I get to take a shower and feed myself a very strong coffee before going to office.

By the way, me and my wife found a very interesting noodle vendor in the close by neighborhood, we accidentally discovered it, it only provide vegetarian noodle , rice noodles , but the taste is really good, the only problem is that's a vendor, no air conditioning, so, it's so hot when taking hot noodle.
