This is an example of the non work related emails I get in Taiwan:
大家好！
炎炎的夏日即將到來，想趁現在把潛水學好，
然後跟著我們在夏日時徜徉在美麗的海洋裏與迷路的尼莫一塊玩捉迷藏嗎？
或是與那美麗又恐怖的獅子魚一塊同游，看看它如何當個美麗的魚兒殺手。
當你不期而遇的見到神秘又聰明的八爪章魚時，會讓你不禁讚嘆它那神奇的隱身術是如何把自己在一瞬間隱形起來。
如果你幸運遇到可愛又害羞豆丁海馬，記的買張彩券來試試自己的手氣。
更多美不勝收的海底美景就等你自己來探索。

Back in sunny Spore!
09-20th April: Back in Spore!!! Everything felt so good right from the moment I touch down.
The sparkling new T3 is such a contrast to the gloomy, depressing Taiwan CKS sorry TAOYUAN Airport. I know it's clique but I am really proud of our airport hahaha.
It's so good to be back to an environment that people do not sugarcoat their words: My sisters' constant jab at my clothes having grown soooo tight, colleagues making fun of me being fair & fat, the lau cha bos never mincing their words as always calling me "ah fat!".
Best of all, I miss TALKING SHOP IN ENGLISH!! Not that I have to struggle in Taiwan... my chinese is not that bad. But it's just feels so much better to hold discussions in Eng/Singlish!To me my points seem more convincing in English!
A colleague who was based in Taiwan for 2 year told me: "Trust me, the more often u come back, the more u will miss home & the less u want to go back..."
I think I am beginning to know that he means.

The high life
Had an atas dinner at Ziga Zaga, a well known restaurant/bar at Hyatt. Taipei 101 is connected to the hotel via an overhead bridge, which was where I took this shot. Hmmmm I could get used to this sort of life... one can always dream right?

My latest fetish
LONGCHAMP LE PLIAGE!
1. Classy
2. Affordable (as compared to Chanel & LV!)
3. Addictive, once you buy one, u want more!
Makes storage a breeze...
I blame my sisters, my mom & SQ871 for my addiction.
- My sisters suggested buying one for mom as a Xmas present.
- There is Longchamp boutique next to departure gate C5 in the CKS Airport. SQ871 always departs at that gate.
- On one particular flight SQ871 was delayed. Bored with waiting, I wondered into the Longchamp next door to take a look.
- The rest is history.
According to my sis, it's a staple with Parisan women. Well, it's my staple now! I'm eyeing the long handle one in silver next... or the terracota... the brown is also nice... come to think of it, so is the short handle one... or I may need small lilac one to match my luggage...

春天文學風 is blowing in Verigy!
春天文學風 translates loosely into "Literature in Spring". During this time, we are all encouraged to bring our favourite books & recommend them to our colleagues. The response is pretty good!
The organizing committee even printed posters & decorated the office entrance. Great effort! Events like that adds colour to our mundane office life.
Confession: When I 1st saw the poster, i thought it was about astrology... why? Coz I selectively read words on the poster & thought it was something to do with "天文學" heehee

We all move on... Ah Bao: Best Wishes & don't you dare forget us!
I shared some of the best memories of my life with Ah Bao... counsellors in freshmen orientation camp, rag & flag, and THE Europe trip together with Twink (8 years ago!!!! The PRE-EURO DAYS!!!) These are memories I'll treasure forever. 
but growing up aren't that bad... come on 30 IS the new 21 right?!
She has married this great guy & will be moving to Japan, the land of her dreams! I am thrilled for her, but at the same time, there is this sense of nostalgia....
