Mt. Yang Ming Flower Season

Cherry Blossom
Decided to have one day rest at home as I have been very busy and really want to leave work in office only. Besides, I haven't got chance to walk outdoor for a long while. Therefore, I asked mommy to visit Mt. Yang Ming together this afternoon.

The weather is very good. Sunny but cooling so we can really enjoy walking around and enjoy the nice scene and flowers. It's actually very convenient to go there from our place by bus. I think I would much more time visiting there and really enjoy the beauty of Taipei.

二月書單

閱讀對我來說是一種很好的自我成長方式,可能也因為我本身比較喜歡靜態的活動, 就算是潛水及瑜珈相對來說算是動作不會太激烈的。上個禮拜去拜訪Maggie的新家,更發現我們兩看的書還有蠻大部分的重疊,讓我開始研究了一下我的書單。

在台南高鐵車站時就看到幾本有趣的書想買,但就想等回到台北的誠品在買還可以有折扣及積點。所以今天就買了好幾本書,等我一一讀完再來跟大家報告。

<胡雪巖 上下卷> 二月河,薛家柱
<波特貝羅女巫, A Bruxa De Portobello> Paul Coelho
<深夜加油站預見蘇格拉底, Way of the Peaceful Warrior: A Book That Changes Lives> Dan Millman
<我的孤兒寶貝, My Best Friend's Girl> Dorothy Koomson
<早上十點以前搞定工作> 高井伸夫
<恩寵與勇氣> Ken Wilber

Tainan One Day Trip

Visited Tainan today to meet one candidate before his meeting with our client. This candidate has been working in China and therefore we haven't got the chance to meet him in person. Therefore, we were thinking to meet him up before his meeting with client to have a better control and idea over his state of mind.

Originally, we would meet for lunch but he was late for almost 2 hours because of the traffic on high way. Therefore, my colleague, Mills, brought me to one of the famous and long-history local market, 永樂市場, to try the famous Tainan local food.

We first had 米糕 and 四神湯 at this shop which has more than 50 years history. Then the famous 燒肉 and 土魠魚湯, which has similar long history.

It's really quite interesting to visit different places but I need to find a good partner to go and share the joy together. Therefore, my new year resolution this year is to buy my first property as I want to change to a new apartment with lift for my parents and the second is to find my life partner or soul mate to share my life together.
