this is so close, I am sitting next to President Chen at the Gala dinner last night, he leave after deliver the speech and present recognition awards, as I was sitting on next table, we shake hands on his way exit the dinner hall; the security is so bad, if some of the attendee really want to do something bad to the President, he or she may simply grab the steak knife on the table and change the history last night; yes, the security is on duty, but none of them surrounding by the President table, no metal detective equipment before the gate; table between table is so lose; next year, the election is so sensitive, any mistake happened. the history of Taiwan will change.

International bossiness alliance conference ended last night, I participate 2 major event, first is the opening ceremony, second the gala dinner, opening is a chaos, no seating , i complained, I was late for the Gala -- even after President's appearance, so, the receipts hurry escort me up to the venue and not even knowing my seating table, and lead me to the main table next to President; the meal come too late, I didn't finish the meal, the person sitting next to me is so annoying, talkative with nonsense. I really sick of response to him, first program arranged by the organizer is 6 man acapella, good repertoire but poor performance, I thinks the problem is the selection of songs and the microphone, it sound awful to me; singing, especially singing in foreign language is not a " strength " for us to deliver at the international ceremony, how to distinguish Taiwan flavor art form and to leave impression to foreign guest is a subject need to be discussed. maybe the programs offer at Sher-ming hall located inside Taiwan Creamery Building better suit the ambience. this is a music viewpoint. the MC is terrible, she make fun of the President and didn’t aware of this miss-behavior, the funnies things is the senior government officers ignore this miss-conductive, this is so strange to me, compare our international conference -- a multi-national company, everything is better off , there's a lot to be improved.
