Tam-Shui, Cycling


Last Saturday, we went to Tam-shui, a district North of Taipei with a number of colleagues from work. It was a cycling event where we got there and hired the bicycles and roamed around the Bali penisula. It was a lot of fun and beats staying at home. We hired a 4 person cycle where Chien-yu and I did most of the cycling. It was rather tiring since its been a long long while sincei did any exercise, but it was fun anyhow. It was also good to take Amelie to see different places. She enjoyed the fast boat ride which took us from Tam-shui pier to the Bali penisula.



My colleagues, was also there with us too, enjoying the outing. There was Hank, David H, Alex, Mary, Vanessa, Penny and her three friends, Gavin, Amber, Donny and his girlfriend.

I would to say a special thanks to Vanessa, who had organised the outing (and previous outings too). Vanessa went through many brochures and made many calls to plan the day. Thank you Vanessa! Outings like this would never happen without you!























After a day on the cycles, we then went to a local restaurant and enjoyed some barbecued meat and vegetables. Yum yum!















At the same time we celebrated Mary's birthday (a week early). Happy Birthday Mary! Hope you have a wonderful day on the 19th November (Mary's actual birthday).







Anyhow, it was a lot of fun, and I have started to think about buying a bicycle to get around the city and to get a bit of exercise. We shall see!

On the way home, we caught a couple of sleepy heads! (True Love - Next Generation)

Homeward Bound (For 2 Weeks)

We're setting off later this evening to UK for a couple of weeks. Can't wait to see Manchester and Ashton-under-Lyne again, not to mention to catch with friends and family and of course do a bit of driving! I haven't been driving for more than a year now since I have been in Taiwan, feels like my legs have gone! We're taking a lot pineapple cakes, which Taiwan is famous for, back to friends and family in UK, and some other gifts too. On the way back, we'll bring back all sorts of stuff to Taiwan, so another post on that when I get back. Not sure whether I'll be able to get online as often, but will try my best to keep my blog updated as much as possible while I am over in UK. My grand parents also arrived in UK from Hong Kong to attend my brother Jimmy's wedding. So time would probably be spent travelling around and take to places to see and have fun. Don't worry, as always, I'll be taking pictures! It will be Amelie's first time visit to UK...

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.

Superman Snappy

Snap the man of steel and score points! My first attempt, I got 82. This will just have to do until I get a new camera.
