Still Alive

Just a quick post to tell you all I'm still alive. I've just been very busy at work and just been too tired to blog, although I have loads to say and ponder. Here's just a quick list of things that have happened over the last few weeks or going to happen:-

  1. Amelie is getting more clever with her drawings (especially on the walls).
  2. Amelie is learning many new words now, and shows that she can understand Chinese and English.
  3. Chien-yu is feeling better.
  4. In-laws are still a pain in the neck.
  5. We're looking to maybe move to our own place.
  6. We're looking for second-hand car in Taiwan (bit of a mine field at the moment).
  7. Busy as hell at work.
  8. David L has left us and gone to Seattle to study for his MBA (and court some Japanese girls).
  9. Alex H is still chasing A8.
  10. Hank's son was sick, but is back home feeling better now.
  11. Mary H has a new hair-do.
  12. I have been taking pictures of Taipei 101, apparently the lights are different on each day.
  13. Steve K is, well just Steve K. Thanks for the watermelon!
  14. Helped Steve K pickup a desk in the pouring rain in a death-trap truck.
  15. Vanessa K has made it through her 49 days of vegetarian diet, Hooray!
  16. Michael K is back from the States.
  17. We'll be going to UK for 2 weeks soon!
  18. Amelie has started an interest in the Nintendo DS.

That's it for now, more ramblings and photos soon!

Lunch with Grandma Ng - Japanese Style

For lunch, after praying at Grandpa's resting place, we set off to a local Japanese restuarant which Grandma likes very much. I went for the roasted eel in teriyaki sauce with rice. It was really really nice, and could have had another two bowls. Grandma's favourite dish was the barbecued squid. We also have pan-fried dumplings, beef rice-don, and my Aunt ordered her favourite sushi rolls. Really enjoyed that meal! More photos here .

Its been a while!

Hey all, sorry, had been away for so long.  Sometimes have so many things going on and so many thoughts, not sure what to write. Life update is that we've moved out of the in-laws place, and renting an apartment in the city.  It's not brand new. No lifts, and we live on the top floor, but it's my home now. Just recently been in hospital for stomach ulcers causing internal bleeding.  Nightmare, when you wasn't allowed to eat or drink for 4 days.  But I'm back home now, but only this morning, I discovered I now have a gout attack.  FML. Anyway, life continues to surprise or annoy me in new and fascinating ways. Mimi is still with us by the way, always staying loyal and guarding. Until next time.

As with my work, I will still be working at my current job in London. The plan is that I will be travelling to London to work in the office for three days (Tuesday to Thrusday) and work from home in Manchester for the other two days. I felt it was a good compromise, and I'll get something back for the travel and accommodation costs (some but not all), plus I'll will be stilling working and earning the dough. Now we're in the middle of putting stuff in boxes ready for the big move in mid-June. Dug out a lot of stuff that we don't need, so we'll be holding a car boot sale to make some ca...
