X'mas seems like tomorrow

Week recap

Had the company X'mas dinner last weekend, a full month before actual X'mas
For once, I was lucky and won a staff prize (everyone seems to get chosen, so my odds was 1 in 5 staff) - Belkin N+ Router and USB Adapter bundle. Except now I don't know if I should use it or gift it, or sell it ;-p

This week

• Weather is slowly slowing changing from Warm to Shower and then it'll be Snow
• Midterm is over! easier than expected
• November is over! quicker than expected as well
• 2.5 more weeks until I pack up and fly to Taiwan, 3rd time this year
• Thinking of visiting Hong Kong, to create new memories
• Sadly I still cannot make Aeroplan Elite since I flew United in January, Eva in August and China Airlines in Dec
• Flights $900 + $1350 + $1750 = $4000
• Wedding-related expenses = countless
• Finding the love of my life = priceless ^__________^

Counting Down

Counting down to

• Taiwan
• Flying, and flying on AC 777
• Super hot and humid weather
• Seeing family and relatives, new family and relatives
• Grandma's birthday
• A new chapter   ;-)

Best Job in the World? Vote for Clare from Taiwan

I must say, this is a great publicity trick

For my colleagues and boss are reading this, my job is the BEST job in the world
For everyone else, maybe it's The Caretaker of the Islands of the Great Barrier Reef at Australlia

Please vote for Clare from Taiwan (sorry Canada)

Happy 97th Birthday, Taiwan 雙十國慶

October 10 (中華民國國慶日) is Taiwan's birthday. And for 2008, Taiwan is now 97 years old. Today celebrates the start of the Wuchang Uprising of October 10, 1911, which led to the collapse of China's Qing Dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China on January 1, 1912

When we were in Toronto last weekend, we happened to walk into the Taiwan Birthday Celebration at Bay & Dundas, pictures to be posted soon
Let's just say, I was so proud and emotional to see Taiwan's flag
