Soap Drama

I can't remember how long ago I was addicted to soap drama -- maybe never before, but I did today and the week before, tonight, by 9 sharp, I seat still in front of the Sony TV, watching the third episode of " Sung Mystic Criminal Case " - sorry for the plain translation, this is the soap drama draw my attendtion third week ago, and I never forget my happy Monday engagement with it - with my wife. how funny to addict to it?

Walked up to my room and recieved SMS from Nancy, I called her last Thursday for asking favor , a favor requested by Candy, not because I am her friend, but to save a female entreprenure's business career, so, I relay the message and asked for Coco's help - yes, Nacny response to me with a positive tone, I forward it to Candy and hope she can survive this crisis.

Taking the route 106 to Fulong beach, our first experience by mountain route, 106 to Shuang Shi and connected to Highway Number 2, we spend less than an hour on the road and reach the fulong beach, even we take a very flesh way to the beach we love, but we did the same old trick by buying 2 Fu Long lunch box - the price increase from 50 to 55 NT finally, cause we are wondering how long they can keep the price , and take the lunch box to She Cheng Resting Area, enjoy our lunch box and enjoy the sea view.

Manage to draft the csr Community 2008 goal - a one way goal wait for discussion with my colleage , however , the draft is for our discussion, I know everyone is working in hell but with the happy attitude, but I am willing to share with them the business goal we are going after, wife take her suana at Alexzenda, I was taking a seat at Mr. Brown cafe - for the convience of free wi-fi, spent 3 hours to finish my long awaiting blue print for 2008. the table next me is a middle age man - probabely at my same age, he made appointment with a few person - man and woman to deal with the worthern company financial situation, asked one not to cash-in the check, begging the other to take her house for morgage, Woo, this is very LIVE to me, how come very self-employee must facing the situation of looking for money? I don't know if he can make it today, but the table he taken seems to be a remote office to him, cause when those counter - negociator was gone, he will chat with the shop clerk, and they are familiar to each other, he even share with them his financial crisis.... so, as a stranger who listen to so many inside story of his business and secret. I don't know how to express it, I knew he knows, cause when nobody's there, he will share some of the attention to me - am I a target for lenting him money? this is crazy and I really hope the misearable day won't come to my world..

Wife took me to an eyeware company for making one new pair of glasses, I am happy, it cost some, and I am happy , very happy.

The GIO co-sponser Taiwan People on Discovery Channel run the story of Steve Chang - the founder of Trend Micro - wife is so picky about every shot Steve did at the documentary, I asked Why? so cute she is , response with : He is your competitor, well,veryone only have one life to live, choose whatever he or she likes, My wife - a bias supporter always.

Hello Again

this is not the perfect excuse to explain why I lost contact with my blog for so many days, but to returning my Viao to PMC, waiting for the new PC and the dysfunction of my home PC attribute to the window created in between. thank for my Sony Ericsson W 800, I blog some of my photos from time to time.

Return from Beijing last Thursday, that is a make up trip for Digi Idea, and as the same time to finish my last commitment with PMC, this time, I go with Steven and Victor, they put me as the hotel where I never stayed before ( and won't image to stay before ), a hotel call " Fortune Land International ", the room rate is 420 RMB per night, they feel this is a VERY good hotel, now you can see how hard a list company in Taiwan to survive, I don't mind to stay at the hotel thy picked, this is purely for returning my promise to them, I appreciate Chris Babeda an Antonio's show up and assistat me in the consultataion session, Chris take the morning session and act as the A & R director helping the label to review there project on hand. a very profound session. during the lucnh, Antonio join to share with us the executive's viewpoint toward the nowaday music industry in China. Antonio is good. energetic and aggresive as usual, we met the night before, and I learn his concern and worries in Sum entertainment - a joint venture between Universal Music and Shanghai Media group. if there's a third party who help him to gain his power and bringing the investment , it will be a triple win situation for him. I am not sure if this is a great idea for investor, but it indeed is a great chance to be part of the development industry.

Take earlier fly back and prepare 2 presentation fro Friday, slept a little bit and finally working our a ' Draft proposal " for LCPC - The company who invite me to be there independant director and now provide us a change to be there corporate strategic philantropy consulting firm. we send 2 project , one is the forest - tree project coming from Tung Chen, a guy spend 10 years watching the decline of SheMeng Dem. now it's time to do good for the earth and for the land we breath and live. Bengo is happy, happy about our preparation and happy about our direction which fit his favorable approch -- plant more trees. maybe it's too good for him to believe, Bengo called me the other day to double check the feasiblity of doing what we proposed:
1. Don't let the government involved or spend money, cause it will bring legislators from different party.
2.Bengo need us to be the consulting firm and to follow a contract process with the company
3. He will be in town on Dec. 5,6,7,8, and expect to see the key person in this projects
4. We need a contact list function by function to be connected with LCPC
5. This is a major project can scale up and roll out if we are doing it right at the first time.

in the afternoon, Stan's presentation conduct again, Mrs. She didn't show up again, althrough we've been advise she is the key person to call the shot, but during the discussion process, we never saw her but to over heard that she is not happy with our development, but.. this time we did the Reibin Salon and Top 10 DVD budget, at least , Reibin Salon is an ongoing project, after these 2 presentation, I am exhausted. really.

share with wife why I am not happy for so long, this is our midnight talk when I was in Beijing, finally she knows I am looking for my way back to Corporate, although frustation keep hitting me, but I know this is the best way to keep my faimly in a safer place, I didn't know if I can make it, but I should try, this is what it keep bothering me.

Mudan Bay resort retreat is a good experience, the place is OK, but the discussion is great, everyone spend decent time in sharing, this time, a very deep sharing, Ste. Thui share with us how he is doing the Leverage Buy Out - the Management buy out and the rationale behind and the machanism to make it happen. this is a gamble for him agian, I am not sue this this buyout will complete, but it seems the stock goes his direction.

Visiting Da She consective for 2 weekend. last time, had a great nap in the Chiang Kai Shek Villa, a nice house he stayed for summer ? and today, we fullfill Sound's dream by bringing him returning to the kids library - a place full of animation books -- all you can read and it's free, we brought him there at 9 am - it opened by 9 and leave the library by 4 pm - it close by 4 on Sunday.....
