Anticipating 2010

It's now 8:30ish pm here in Taipei.

I am parting from my partying ways this new year's eve. I am home, in my PJs, in my glasses, hair pulled into a homebody bun, waiting for ice cubes to freeze by midnight so I can drink a few glasses of Baileys on the rocks before I head to bed.

Didn't even turn the TV on to see what the world is up to at this moment.

I can hear fireworks going off already.

And I am in my own little space, working on my own little portfolio, reflecting back on what I've done over the past 4-5 years. Wow... I managed to pull off a lot of campaigns and projects from out of my ass. Looking at the photos and videos take me back to those countless all-nighters at the office rubbing my eyes like crazy thinking, 'Why the fuck am I doing this to myself for the equivalent of convenience store wage in Canada? Ma & Pa can soooo support me forever'.... and wanting to quit soooo bad everyday during the PR agency days.

But I'm proud of myself that I pulled through and never quit, and experienced the client side of things where time passed super quickly.

I am leaving adidas as a graduate, not as a quitter, and I don't care about what anyone else thinks, I am proud of what I've done for this brand in this Thumbelina-esque market called Taiwan.

NEW ADVENTURE AWAITS in 2010.

Scared shitless but excited as fuck! :)

So music

Gahhhhhhhhhhhh!!! Robin Thicke's new album Sex Therapy is so ridiculously good. Wayyyyy better than his first, tho I thot his 1st was awesome also. But 2nd one trumps 1st one fo sho.

New Years Resolution

1. Find a job I love.

2. Cuss less.

3. Be less rude to randoms.

4. Less BAM and more save.

5. Spend more time with ma & pa before I get outta here.

6. Remain just as happy as I am now, because I have been pretty happy in 2009. Smooth year.

ok that's it.

Beautiful Boxing Day

Great weekend so far. Did absolutely nothing but typed so much. What a merry Xmas hahaha. But tonight it's game on. Tamz is back :) I guess i have to go out atleast one night out of this Xmas long weekend. The morning/afternoon had consisted of hair salon getting hair washed by new rookie cute didi. Not so shabby. 'Bucks caffeine fix. Bookstore. Excellent. Pleasantly impressed by December issue of MC. I have to flip through 30-40 magazines on monthly basis for work, but never have time to actually read the articles. MCs got some substance this month!!

Wow xmas is getting less n less festive every year in Taipei, except for downstairs in my lobby. They deco'd like crazy this year. Kinda a little too festive for me. But I guess the effort is there. This xmas eve I went to hotpot w/ a couple friends, then decided to head home. So tame on a long weekend.

After HK, I really feel so partied out...

So tonight, I am at home working on my portfolio which should (hopefully) be finished by this weekend.

HK was... interesting, fun, stupid, lost, awesome. Overall what I enjoyed the most was chilling with the 604 core. I've had plenty of my 604 dosage in the past 2 months with Tania & Wingcent coming to visit, then HK. It's been... interesting...

But it's always fun. It will always be fun.

Gahhhhh who knows where I will be in 2010...

First thing is first... time to job hunt, and I gotsta focus...

Back from HK

Seriously hate writing Xmas cards... Esp in Chinese.

Location:Taipei

Oh, just another regular weekend in Tpe.

So for Oz's bday we planned a bash at The Top, which is one of my favorite restaurants in Taipei. The food there ain't so great, but hey, with a view like that, who cares about the food?

Anyway so here are some pics, some with captions some without, just see for yourself...

So I got this cake at the Bakery downstairs my office... It was supposed to look like OZ.

Wow don't I look tired on a Friday night...

Balinese style restaurant.

It's good we got a tented area because it's pretty cold now (and windy).

I love this picture so chill...

Bday boy.

So blurry... but I don't like the lighting with flash...

We had a FEAST with 2 hotpots... n alotta other stuff...

Vicky and Pubic Hair..

How can you NOT love it here...

Edward super nurturing taking the bone out of the fish...

I refused to let go of the leftover vodka...

And then afterward we went to Edwards place to party some more...

And then that was that, I stayed home on Saturday, and on Sunday I went out to play... with QD.

QD wanted to go out for afternoon tea, and who am I to say no? (no one disobeys QD)

We came to this place in Taipei 101... I saw some figure skates on the X'mas tree so I took a picture of it. Little did I know, this was actually a Tiffany & Co. decorated xmas tree, so all the tourists were taking a picture of the light green Tiffany box on the bottom of the tree instead of just the tree itself like how I did. How superficial...

Her royal princess was very hungry and was NOT satisfied with the portions...

You think she is talking important HUGE business call... little did u know, she was just telling her mom that she wont be home for dinner HAHAHAH...

Hmm what else.. well this weekend I bought 2 new toys:

1. Application on iphone called "Autostitch" as recommended by Robert. This is my first autostitch.. (so landscape panorama picture)

2. With a new mini tripod for my Ricoh GRD2, I will never take a blurry photo again!!

I took Deb to GB for dinner. She liked it.... SUPER YUMS steak sandwich...

Ahi Tuna Salad... (so practicing my photography skills)

SHHHH..... goodnite!
