Computex Taipei 2008 came and went. This year, I didn't get as many shots of showgirls like last year. Mainly because I was a bit busier this year and also because the incusion of the new Nangang Exhibition Hall probably diluted the number of showgirls I ran into. I did, however, see quite an amusing sign on one of the booths at the show.

I recently bought a new camera and have been having fun playing with it. The photo gallery has been updated with a bunch of new picts, including a ski trip to Japan during the Lunar New Year in February.

There is a very interesting bronze statue just outside the Taipei Zoo. Obviously, the artist wanted to show how humans and animals can peacefully co-exist. But maybe this particular piece shows people and animals as being a little bit too close. 

I remember squeeze cheese as a kid. It was cool then and I remember always hoping that Mom would buy it whenever we went grocery shopping. Now, there is something similar for pancakes.

I came across this box of Altoids one day buried under a pile of books in my livingroom. The last time I recalled munching on an Altoid was over a year ago, possibly longer than that. When I opened the box, I was dismayed to find not a nice yummy Altoid, but something pretty yucky.

I came across this poem in an old notebook I kept my Chinese study notes in. The entry was marked July 29, 2003. I  vaguely recall having a weird dream just before waking one morning and writing down these lines. What was I thinking?
