Man at Starbucks
After my recreation session in the afternoon, walked to the close by Starbuck and enjoy my first coffee today, the service quality is not as good as before, I order the coffee and one European sandwitch, the staff didn'a ask me to find some vacancy before took the order, so, when they service my orders, I have to stand there with a hot coffee and sandwitch and looking for spaces. as there's no indoor seats, so, I have to move myself to the open space - smoking area is suppose to be. sit and take my book " What Got you here won't get you there ", drink, eat and read, no so long, about 15 minutes after, a long grey hair guy approach me and asked if the seat next to me taken or not. No, so he sit next to me share the table with me and Do nothing.. I suppose.by the time I finished my coffee and intent to leave, the grey hair guy , at his 60's I guess, greeted me and asked if it is OK to take a good at the book I am reading, he started the conversation and chat with me, we use some of Englsih and some Chinese, he didn't complain, I kindly asked what does he do for living, he responsed with a sigh and said that he return to Taiwan 20 years ago -- by then he was teaching in American school for architechur engeering, the next response surprise me a little, he said how come NOBODY KNOWS HIM FOR STAYING 20 YEARS IN TAIWAN? becaues of his look and dress? yes, if you judge a person by his appearacne, you might consider him a homeless with intellence character. I didn't spend too much time with him as I don't want to extend this coincedental relationship. although I do leave him company name and my name.
attending C.Chen's dinner at Emperor Building - the most expensive residental building in Taiwan, which is his soon-to-be house, he use the banquest facility to host his retiring from the chairperson in YPO, as this is another eye open opportunity, so, with a little discussion with my wife, I decided to go and have wife drove me to the front door and decided to leave before desert served. to avoid some embarassing encounting.
The banquest is good, follow the protocal of decent gala dinner - cocktail welcome with finger sandwitch for member to mingul, and then escore to the dinning room, chef is the famous Jimmy ... we enjoy the luxury ambience and gorment food in between. sharing a lot with D. Huang and touch upon Kevin's project with Chun Chi, help to consult I Ping's ADHD Benson's problem and provide basic information to Diana - owner of 101 for what YPO really is...
Didn't spend time with Fruit on her favorite TV show : the On Million Winner, an equivient of American Idol, I miss the time to exchange and built itimancy with her, however, I am not into the world of entertainment, I don't want to inject too much unhealty value propostion to her, I hope Fruit can understand.
