A busy July.
First week is occupied with preparing for company workshop.
Second week is the workshop, and followed by some training program which uses up my weekend.
Third week is more training, three days and uses up my weekend, again.
Fourth week I need to prepare for engagement.
What an exciting month.
My old man is hospitalized due to 膽çµçŸ³, and an operation is performed today to remove the 膽囊 and the stones remained inside.
Apparently the main cause of 膽çµçŸ³ is due to fatty food. Yes, fat food, which my dad loves. The symptom gets worse with age, and just happened that over the last few days, the 膽囊 just gave up completely.
I went to visit my old man at the hospital today. He was in a coma for most of the day due to the anesthetic. After waking up his spirit looked high. He was a little upset when he learned that he might not be able to eat all the foods he loves, but then again, what’s more important, the food, or his health? The choice then seemed more simple and obvious.
Poor old man. Just a few days ago he was happy chewing on 鹽酥雞, looks like he needs to start learning to chew on carrot and celery now.
大阿姨, we all miss you very much.
May you remain in peace and happiness in Heaven.
Not busy at work, but other things.
I never knew it would get this busy.

To all those affected from Sichuan earthquake. God bless you all.
Yes.
This simple three letter word, changes my whole life.
Today was a beautiful day.
I was a complete idiot today.
I am back from Turkey.
It was fun walking under the snow.
Ten below zero in Ankara, under the snow, outside the hotel entrance, I had a quick reflection of my life over the last three years.
Sometimes, coming out of a meeting with some potential customers, whether I was in Bangkok, Hanoi, Manila, Sydney or Istanbul, I would catch my reflection in the elevator doors, in a shirt, and a briefcase in hand. In a blink of a second, I would imagine myself as leader of this industry, shouting out orders, closing the deals, before I remembered who it was that I really wanted myself to be.
People often say, Why Simply Win When You Can Dominate?
I don’t want to just be better than someone, I want to be the best as who I can be.
I am happy to be back in Taipei.
It just could not get any worse.
Please, just let me forget this day. Just let me forget!
