Another Weekend



Quarter-finals of the World Cup is starting this weekend the Germany vs. Argentina game. Should be exciting! England has made it through too to face Portugal in the quarter-finals. Come on England! Put some welly into it!

Not much to report on really. The weather is getting EXTREMELY hot (with temperatures of 33 degrees C at 10am in the morning). Looks like we are going to have a sizzler of a Summer this year in Taiwan. No news of typhoon yet, but I'm sure they will be on their way soon. I think I will just stay indoors with the air conditioning on!

Amelie is certainly growing up. She's able to walk, run and jump now. She still find some stair daunting, but hopefully her confidence will grow. To be honest, there isn't much stairs for her to practise. Maybe we should take her to Taipei 101 and let her climb there. She can be a handful at times, but when she sleeps, she's at her most peaceful state.

I have spending a lot of time taking random pictures in and around Taipei. I quite like taking the night shots, I find them more interesting and challenging. I've even bought a portable camera stand to take night shots so to reduce the blurry images, but sometimes its quite difficult to use since space is not in abundant supply on the side-walks of Taipei. Anyway here are a few shots I have taken. Hope you enjoy them!





What's planned for the weekend? Nothing much really, just going to relax on Saturday and on Sunday attend Klaus's wedding gig.

On another note, the Random Lunch Selector (RLS) is getting more pictures. Go to my homepage to find out more and have a go!

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.
