New Sogo


During the Chinese New Year holidays, there wasn't much to do, so we went to the newly opened Sogo in the city centre.

The building looked very modern, and I was quite impressesed with the design on the exterior with it soothing turquoise colours.

The new Sogo is only across the road from the old one, which is still opened for business. But if you want the high quality, designer label things, I suggest you go to the new one to fulfil your shopping requirements.



I was even more surprised to find a small Japanese garden on one of the floor in this new shopping mall. They certainly spend a lot of money on this building.



Amelie as usual was running around in the new place and exploring its different corners. She evern tried to get into the Japanese garden, which was out of bounds. I think the Japanese garden was a Feng-Shui thing. I didnt think the owners would be impressed if Amelie went into the garden and disturbed their cosmic balance!




There many things there amongst the expensive designer wear. The ones I noticed was a big Giant bicycle centre, with their display of the latest bicycle models, with the cheapest model starting at NTD$10,000. There was also a really big Sony Centre and right in the centre was a 55-inch Sony Bravia flatscreen television with the last incarnation of Ridge Racer for the Playstation3. Could I resist the temptation? Hell no! I saw the sales guy with the wireless controller and stood next to him until he handed it over for me to try in its full 55-inch HDMI glory! I was so into the game, I forgot to take a picture of myself...dammit.

Amelie Back In Taiwan, Reunion With Mister Donuts

Amelie finally back in Taiwan!  Have missed her for three months, but have been busy at work, not had chance to catch up with her.  However, Amelie did some catching up herself...with her favourite Mister Donuts! You must cut down on those foods!

Happy 2nd Birthday Amelie!

Another step up the age ladder for my daughter Amelie (populary known as Tongtong too). Time certainly has flown, and with each day, it doesn't get any easier! She's started to form her own opinions and learning to express them in various different ways. She's a clever little one, but still lacks a certain amount of discipline. That's probably going to come from me, because Chien-yu is a little soft. I just hope she knows it for own good when I give her the smack-botty when she steps out of line. Last night we sang her the birthday song just before we slept (its was about 1am already). After a couple of choruses, she picked it up quickly and sang her own birthday song! Well, almost anyway, because sounded like "Hapi tu tu tu you". More practise for next year! I will add photos later on this evening.

Goodbye P-100

I'm just going to upload the last ever set of photos from our loyal Sony P-100. I will update this post tomorrow. Yup, the Sony P-100 is a gonna. It ain't gonna rise from the ashes, this time... For now here are some photos taken today around Taipei using the Sony P-100 before the evening's accident, which involved Chien-yu, her foot and the hard marble floor we have in our room. We now got a good excuse to get a new, better digital camera. Its going to have to be a Sony one though, because I invested in a 1GB memory stick. Need to make use of that as much as I can! Sigh, money, money and more money.
