Capoeria


We went for a night walk the other day, because Amelie was a little on the active side, and took her to S.Y.S Memorial Hall, not too far from home to give her a bit of a workout. On reaching there, we heard some rythmic drum beats echoing around the area. We got to the main entrance of the memorial hall and found a group of people practising Capoeria, a form of Brazillian martial art.

It was fun to watch, and the drumbeats where really good, sounding out a Brazillian beat out over the memorial hall area. I took the opportunity to try out the camera in a night setting, taking moment pictures. Perhaps I've yet to get used to the new digital camera, and may not know all of its functions, but the pictures I took were pretty crap. On the other hand, the people practising Capoeria were pretty good, and moved very quickly with their various swing kicks and swift movements. All very exciting, and it was the first time I have seen it in action. The only place I have seen it is in the Tekken games with the character Eddie Gordo!










Here are some other night shots I took, without a tripod mind you, hence the shake and all.

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.
