Having lunch with artist Pan yesterday, the pre-arrangement was done by Yan - my old time pal and partner in the self-employment period; the purpose for the lunch is to officially invited him to our YPO event - the Journey to the music; I have invited 4 artists to participate as VIP for the event; as a resource for the event and the co day chair, this is what I need to leverage, my backgroud and credit will bring the less costy performance for the event.

the other co-chair Mr. Kwang is a very picky person, his not-satisfied attitude mainly caused by his wife, who we thought ( include other YPOer ) were triple the picky than her husband; they will easily escalate the event complacity to your edge of endurance. this is my first time to chair the event, and my first exercise to leverage my relationship with artist after been depart from the music industry for 4 years; the contact were relavelatively smooth, currently Sky, Corbett, David were committe to the event without no charge.

Pan is at her fifties, but he looks much younger than his physical appearance; after semi-retire from the music industry, he moved to LA and doing gourvent business for 15 years, he return to the music business as singer again 2 years ago, we talked about the difference between China and Taiwan is the maket acceptance; if you had a hit in China - no matter how long you were gone from the market, you had your own ground still if you resume career there, it doesn't like in Taiwan, the cycle was foster and crude, if you are gone, you are gone forever, no matter what hit you bring to the market before, the fans / media / industry associate will forgive you entirely, until you create another hit, then, they will recall their memory and reconnected with you, just like nothing happen before; my assumption to this situations is : There's no eternal friend or enemy in the business ( or entertainment ) of music , Yan wish me to demostrate my sincere gratitude to this person, I did it, and I know I should save some per diem for Yan. I knew him well..........

Bought one round neck and one V neck sweat shirt for myself at Jil Sander shop - the New Year Gift for myself. then pick up the " Budda jump off the wall " meal from one local restaurant, this is for the New Year Even dinner. preparing New Year Eve dinner is a big thing in Chinese family, we want to make it simple this year, so, I decided to buy a few meal from the restaurant, at home, we only need to prepare vegetable, fish. the rest will be taking care by vendors.

Salad with toaste is one of my wife's seductive gourment in the family, we havn't taste it for a long time, she cooked if for us yesterday, I can't help to eat 3 portion , it give me the guilty feeling again, I need to keep the good balance of body. anyway, this is Chinese New Year; agian, the milky peanut nugges is the killer to me, my wife bought it at Shen keng - there are 2 peanut product shops at Sen Keng - 2 were claim their reputation for original peanut goods, they compete each other with one hero product - Peanut cookie with Rocky Suger; we tasted and tried both shop before, and favore the Chen's store, it become my favorate since, but the other store invented the Milky Peanut nugges, it outperform the Peanut Cookie, Kao Chin Shen produce the best tasted Peanut nugges I have ever taste before; innovation make the maket grow and it create new demand , redirect the competiton; from the day the Peanut nugges launched, our shopping bag with have both product from each store.

after the salad dinner, me and my wife went for the second round movie, I think the staff who check the ticket at the entrance of the theater familier with us already; we want to see " Alexzendor, the Great " , Collin Foral is a great actor, Oliver Stone is a great director, the corporation between them making this epic a profound story to reveal, a 3 hours long movie, detail illustrate the life of Alexzndor, his short life ( with only 33 years old ) and great accomplishment ( conquer India , become the first King of Asia ), the complexity of his emotion, love and political development, the line " You will be forgive, not be forgetten " were inspiring; the world is ready for you to take.... no ambitious mind will not create a hero. anothe line is " King was not born to , king is made to ", turely inspiring again. a man of great can be great in all form. I enjoy it very much.

we were home by midnight, clean the heavy bad pad to the gargage collection spot, sleep after one am. I asked my wife to make a new year wish, she said : she wish to be happy this year, as she don't have any clear goal before, I wish her to make any wish, it will destract her mind is the bothering familly issues.
