I didn't know the situation developed so bad

M. asked my about my impression to Christian during our Sharks' Fin dinner -- I simply thow out a few stereo type to him, the laundary list keep growing until I mentioned the final one : I had a feeiling that religion helping people find a shelter which also provide them a room to escape, escape from reality ", he thought my observation was right. he enjoyed stayed in Taipei for the past 11 days, until last night, I aware how bad his finanical situation is and how hard he is seeking the answer God may delivered, but he still can't find the answer until last night.

I spend decent time with him on his trip, as he mentioned this might be his last visit to Taiwan - under the condition that there's no more need or work, I am sort of gettting the feeling that the journey of new serching is important to him, so I make myself accessable to his stay.

for the past few days, I found he changed a little bit, from the first night we met to update each other, I told him my decision to resign and he shared with me how life is difficult for him in Singapore other than his spiritural development, but he seems accpet the arrangment by God, until 2 days ago, when explore a few potential of music business, he became aggrestive and tried to tail after our chat, this is unususal to me, he seldom become aggrestive, as I am no longer with music industry, to reconnected with the people, finding talent and raise fund, it take time to incubate a project, and he needed to have job, I really don't know what to do about it.

Surrounded by Charistian in Singpore, he told me whenever they encounter with problem, the last and probable the most welcomed means to slove it is " Let's prey ", as everyone doing the same, there's no point to really digest the question and finding other alternative. maybe God will provide a road , and maybe no alternative is the only alternative, but he told me in Taiwan, people surrounded were not Christian, he can really see how people deal with their problems. this comment is quite new to me and I never thought about it before.

Lunch with C. another artist turn business man who locate to Taiwan for 20 years, I mentioned something about IYT, he might be a good co-worker to this project, if my wife agree. I change the restaurant to Far eastern, it's been years since I visit this Suntory, but the lunch is quiet good. I take advantage of this restaurat because I sign up for the seminar at the Far Esteran Shengerila by 1:30 pm, the seminar is hosted by MIC - A subsiderary of III, with a sexy topic " 3G " but very poor presentation, the second presentor - a lady from MIC was the worst, she don't know how to delvier the message and the material she prepare means nothing, the chart and flow she draw at the slide don't have a logic, I don't know why a Mckinsey equivelent research firm ( according to the goal they set ) produce such a poor quality. as I was invited by my EMBA classmate, so, I stayed there for the whole afternoon, learning something, maybe, but this is not a good way to waste time.

As Martin caugh a cold, so I bring him to the Shark Fins' restaurant, after the good soup, I brough him to an interesting place - OM HUM, a vegetarian cafe located in She-Da area, a very quite and nice place to talk. this is my first time there already I tried it a few times before.

S. called late yesterday after to reitatreat he is working on my contract, nevermind, I am not sure if NCC / C... will be factors as well.

Expection Eric Johnson's concert on Sunday.
