蘇老師瑜珈斷食營 - 馬來西亞篇

這是我第四次參加蘇老師的瑜珈斷食營，一開始主要是因為需要紓解工作壓力及改善應該工作帶來不良生活習慣的問題，包括我長時間三餐不定時再加上吃的又急又快所造成的腸胃問題，每次回來總是覺得身體與精神都好非常多。基本上蘇老師提倡的瑜珈斷食是透過一段時間不進食來讓身體的精力專注在排毒功能上，至於詳細內容有興趣的可以參考"蘇老師瑜珈斷食營"。

我之前三次都是去老師在台南的中心，但這兩年來因為參加的人數太過踴躍，可能都需要提早三到四個月報名。我上次去的時候其實是今年的三月，但想趁我還再放假再去一次把身體作更好的調整，但從今年五月到九月都已經報名額滿，而我又剛好打算回新加坡一趟潛水去，就異想天開第問老師說有沒有可能去參加馬來西亞的梯次。應該也因為我這個異想天開的想法促成了幾位台灣學員也一同前往。

基本上課程的內容與在台灣是一樣的不同的是參與的大多是馬來西亞的學員，雖說我對馬來西亞還算熟悉，不過與這麼多馬來西亞學員一起渡過斷食營的七天倒還是頭一遭。除此之外另一個特色應該是最後一天的"大餐"吧!! 因為這次是由馬來西亞當地的老師主廚，第一次嘗到重口味的東南亞料理也可以走健康路線，應該是我其中一個大收穫吧!!

容容寶貝 - 16 months

Our dearest precious at home is my dearest nephew.  My mom has been helping take care of him for my sister since he was born and now he is 16 months old already.  It's so amazing to see a little baby growing up like this.  He now can walk, run and talk in a very cute way.  I finally understand why people always said that children between 1 to 3 years old are the cutest.  Yes, he is really very cute!!  I'm going to miss him a lot if not staying at Taipei that often.  :Q

天使野餐 de Angelos

This is a great place that I discovered lately.  I have been there 3 times in the past 3 weeks.  The first time we were there for dinner.  We ordered a twin-sharing set which was fantastic with good taste, settings and good price performance as the set includes appetizer, soup, salad, 2 main course, spaghetti, chocolate pot and drinks.  Surprisingly, it costs only NT$999.  The 2nd I was there for my AIESEC MC team mate gathering as Jessica and Frank happened to be back for holiday at the same time.  I ordered their brunch and this afternoon I had a Vegetable Set.  

I like this place because they are offering healthy, delicious and beautiful food. They emphasized on low-salt, low-oil and organic.  Other than that, I like the quiet environment in the afternoon with the nice music.  It's just like a cozy home that I would like to have in the near future.  However, sometimes it would be a bit noisy during lunch and dinner because there are always full-house during the peak hours.  Even though, I would still recommend you to try their stuff. Really nice and it's all home-make or hand-make.  Check it out then!!

Tokyo Trip

It seems that I have been having my long holiday since beginning of the year.  It is 100% true but guess I'm just used to have a packed schedule with all the different kinds of activities. So I have to say that I'm quite busy and therefore, I have not been writing much even though I'm actually on holiday! Sorry! :Q

Therefore, this one has been delayed for too long as I have returned from Tokyo for more than one month.  I decided to keep up with my work on the blog since I have confirmed most of the things other than planning my new life in Beijing.  

I was in Tokyo for 8 days this early April because of Sandy's wedding.  Because it's such a unique trip to gather all the friends from different parts of the world,  Sandy arranged 2 trips for us to enjoy the unique culture and beauty of Japan.  

Before the wedding, we went to Izu, a famous peninsula near Tokyo for its Hot Spring and Sakura.  I have been wondering why Jun choose April to be their wedding in Tokyo since the Taiwan one was held last Sep.  Right after I arrived at Tokyo, I realized it's the best weather and the most beautiful season in Japan because of SAKURA. 

 

I like Izu a lot as it's not so much a tourist place to me.  We took high speed train to Izu and then transfered to the local train.  That's the first time I really got in touch with the local local Japanese and experienced the great food, scenarios and beauty of Japan.  After the wedding, we went to Nikko, also another famous place in Japan because there are famous temples for two of the great leaders in Japan's history.  I can't really use words to describe all the nice parts I have experienced there but I believe you can see from my photos there (Jenny's Tokyo+Izu+Nikko Photo Set). 

The most important event of this trip is of course Sandy's wedding.  I'm really happy to see Sandy again in Tokyo because I can tell she really lives happily with the newly-wed husband.  Guess that's what most of the girls want; find a partner who can really share their lives, up and down and most importantly to take care of each other.

They have a small but very decent wedding, very cozy and warm to me.  It's held in a garden of a hotel in Japan.  After participating in more and more of my girlfriends' weddings, I started to think how I want to hold mine.  I do have some idea and hopefully, I would start this project soon.  : )

Fishmart 漁園海鮮

Fishmart - 漁園海鮮

去年決定辭職的時候，就想要趁這個機會嘗試不同的工作模式。主因是因為想要有自己可以自主的時間及做自己想做的事情，原本的想法是作有關於貿易的部分，畢竟我過去幾年的經驗都在行銷及進出口的部分。但做這樣的生意最重要的就是產品，要有unique的產品才能在這個競爭的市場中闖出一片天。

當時剛好有機會接觸到這個海鮮相關的公司，老實說，我對這個產品並沒有特別的感覺。但畢竟從小在海邊長大以及家族對水產事業的接觸，讓我覺得這可能也是個我嘗試新的事業模式的好機會。所以我從二月底開始這個網站的project，經過一開始概念的formulation，內容的準備到實際的上線及產品上架。其實execution對我來說，從來不是個問題，但之前都有同事或是agent作美工的動作，所以這次我倒是花了些時間去熟悉Photoshop及Dreaweaver。

海鮮因為其營養價值，一直被視為高級食材。漁園海鮮就是希望把健康及高品質的水產品推廣給在台灣的消費者，過去台灣好的海鮮大多是出口，留在台灣的大多是被B級的產品。再加上水產品其實是很複雜的食材，因為其高蛋白質的特性以及可能在產地或加工過程中被污染的可能性，要找到健康、衛生、無污染、無化學添加物的水產品，相對來講比較困難。所以魚園海鮮就在這樣的市場及其過去養殖、批發的經驗下，投入這個市場。如果大家對吃海鮮有興趣更對健康海鮮有需求，或許你可以考慮魚園海鮮的產品。

漁園海鮮將在5月16號網站正式開幕及五週年慶的活動，漁園海鮮系列產品全面九折，單筆消費滿兩千即可獲得價值NT$230的產品(低鹽鮭魚片or干貝花枝丸)!  

歡迎光臨!!  漁園海鮮，健康領先!!

Lifestyle

I have started my new lifestyle from the beginning of this year.  I have a whole list of things to do that I can't make it with the busy working life.  I traveled quite a bit to Singapore, Hong Kong, Macau, Japan and Taichung.  Next month, I should have a trip back to Singapore, Malaysia and "DIVING" in Manado, Indonesia.  I have taken quite a number of different courses including Japanese, Sketching, Bakery, Massage and my Makeup course would start soon in mid June.  On top of this, I'm involved in setting up the online shopping site for my cousin's seafood retail business.  To summarize my past 5 months of new life, I'm very happy, satisfied and feeling fulfilled.  Those are things I've been missing for long time.  

A lot of friends would ask why I make this decision as it really take some big courage to do different things from what most of the people are doing.  However, I'm really glad that I made this decision so that I can at least have a good time which I may not have the opportunity if I'm getting into a family and with kids.  

I'm planning to conitnue this until last the last quarter of this year and would start new one at another location!!

New Toy - Sony Cyber-Shot T90

I just bought the new Sony Cyber-shot T90 as my current one is about 5 years old and the battery can't really survive a few shoots already.  I have been surveying and trying to find one with good performance, features and also price.  I was thinking of T77 but by the time I decided, they have end that product line.  

Therefore, I decided to go for the next generation, T90.  There are 5 colors and I went for the Brown color one as that looks more elegent and sophisticated than the others to me.  The most interesting and useful function to me is the "Smile Detecting" so that I can take my own pictures nicely.

Just share some nice one with you and I would be taking more during my trip to Japan next week!
