Double Alley-Oop

This is cool.

Some dudes made some pretty hilarious comment at Youtube…

How long before LeBron is doing double alley-oops to himself?

Pretty nasty. How come the crowd doesn’t react at all? Is this a regular thing for them? Reminds me of NBA Street and NBA Jam.

i was getting into that girls conversation..

Layoff Again…

Second round of layoff happened today. Well, not that it wasn’t expected, but just everything happened so soon.

30% layoff announced, 18 people will need to leave at the end of the month, just before Chinese New Year. Some are good friends, and some which have worked together for many years.

Maybe I should be happy that my name isn’t mentioned, then again, remain at this company isn’t going to make me happy either.

Who knows when will there be a third round of layoff?

Happy New Year 2009!

This year again ended at a low. Poor economy, switched to a new job function at work, and no bonus.

Then again, looking at the brighter side, I got married, I am still healthy, and happy.

The whole family, including my wife, Joe and Yoshimi checked out the new year countdown firework at Taipei 101. For the fourth consecutive year, I ended the year viewing at the tallest building in the world covered in firework. Regrettably to say, this year’s firework was a disappointment. It was longer, but far less spectacular. However, I had this rare moment to spend the new year with the whole family, plus new family members, so I have nothing to complaint.

Happy New Year 2009 everyone. See you here again at the 2010 countdown.

Happy New Year 2009!

Family Gathering!

Joe arrived this evening from Japan, together with Yoshimi and my little nephew, Brendan. I haven’t seen Joe in a while. Actually, I did meet him really briefly when I went to Sydney last year, but that was it.

Joe and Yoshimi haven’t changed changed much, but little Brendan has really grown! He is so playful and adorable, but noisy too. Then again, kids are all the same, right?

I like the feeling when the whole family gathers, and every time the whole family meets up the number of members seems to grow as well. Maybe next time I will bring a baby boy or a baby girl too.

I look forward to the next three weeks! It will be awesome!

Layoff

First day back from honeymoon, and company announced immediate layoff of 15% of employees.

A few of my colleagues, some are even good friends, were among the list. They had to pack and leave within 30 minutes from receiving the notice.

At that moment, for no reason, I hoped that I could be on the list. I mean why not? I get compensation for up to 4 months, and I hate my current job anyway.

Then again, what would my parents say if this does happen?

I was told there might be a second round of laying offs. Maybe I will be in the list then?

Wedding Cakes (喜餅)

I handed them out today, the wedding cakes, plus the invitations. I had waited for this for a long time, and finally I got it out of the way.

It felt weird, a lot of the people did not know I was getting married. A lot of people did not know my wife was someone they knew. I had many questions thrown at me. I didn’t know what to answer, but it was fun.

Another three weeks before the actual wedding day. I can’t wait!

Oh yah, mum and dad also arrived today! It is always good to see them again!
