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.

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...
