Tam-Shui, Cycling


Last Saturday, we went to Tam-shui, a district North of Taipei with a number of colleagues from work. It was a cycling event where we got there and hired the bicycles and roamed around the Bali penisula. It was a lot of fun and beats staying at home. We hired a 4 person cycle where Chien-yu and I did most of the cycling. It was rather tiring since its been a long long while sincei did any exercise, but it was fun anyhow. It was also good to take Amelie to see different places. She enjoyed the fast boat ride which took us from Tam-shui pier to the Bali penisula.



My colleagues, was also there with us too, enjoying the outing. There was Hank, David H, Alex, Mary, Vanessa, Penny and her three friends, Gavin, Amber, Donny and his girlfriend.

I would to say a special thanks to Vanessa, who had organised the outing (and previous outings too). Vanessa went through many brochures and made many calls to plan the day. Thank you Vanessa! Outings like this would never happen without you!























After a day on the cycles, we then went to a local restaurant and enjoyed some barbecued meat and vegetables. Yum yum!















At the same time we celebrated Mary's birthday (a week early). Happy Birthday Mary! Hope you have a wonderful day on the 19th November (Mary's actual birthday).







Anyhow, it was a lot of fun, and I have started to think about buying a bicycle to get around the city and to get a bit of exercise. We shall see!

On the way home, we caught a couple of sleepy heads! (True Love - Next Generation)

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.

Homeward Bound

Hello again, thought I'd give an update of what's going on in my mundane life. After chatting with my wife, We will be moving back to my parents's home in Manchester (well Ashon-under-Lyne to be precise). We feel it would be better for her to have people around like our friends and family should anything happen. Plus I get to hang out with my friends again! 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...
