The Italians Take Centre Stage


Italy have taken the 2006 World Cup trophy home this weekend after their 5-3 penalty kick win over France. It was an exciting weekend and so exciting it was that this morning I have noticed a lot of people not at work today. Probably because the final was on at 3am Taiwan time! Anyhow, well done to the Italians! On the same note, I want to thank the German team for giving Portugal a good kicking with a 3-1 score!

In other news, I finally got my haircut. My head feels a lot lighter and breezier, although it bring littel comfort as we are hitting temperatures of 36 degrees C in Taipei. I hate it when its hot, humic and sticky. Thank the lord for air-conditioning! Today though the sun has backed-off a little today wit rather cloudy skies. It looks like we are in for some down pour later this afternoon. I'm hearing rolls of thunder at the moment...doesn't look good weather-wise.

Not really done much over the weekend. Just trying to stay out of the heat. How about today? Well feeling a little dazed and confused as I didnt get much decent sleep last night. Also, today's the first day for the project which I as on. I'm not sure what needs to be done. Maybe I should speak to my project lead and ask for directions. But generally, I'm loosing my motivation to work. I'm in the "can't be bothered" mode of thinking today. It just seems to me that after working for 5 years now, I haven't seemed to achieved much, even when I know I have done my best and have put in more effort. There doesn't seem to be much recognition or reward at the moment, not even in the salary I receive every month. It just all seems meaningless at the moment. I think I need some time-out to re-focus my mind and maybe search for something new. I'm not sure whether I would be productive at all today. I think I need someone shouting the commands at me today, just so I can keep busy, otherwise, I feel like I'm going to drift away.

I came across something called Earth Clock, a nifty desktop widget which tells you the time and show you real-time images of the Earth. Go check it out at this site!

Well, the rain is here as predicted, its absolutely chucking it down! Maybe its time to go back to work, sigh.

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!

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.
