time really flies... another week has just gone by! and all this while I was lazy to update about last week.... my backlog is getting worse... anyway, here's some updates about last Friday, Saturday and Sunday
FridayMy colleages and I went to the Grand Hotel in Taipei to attend a seminar “金融海嘯下，企業經營生存之道研討會” (How enterprises can survive in this financial crisis)... the hotel was quite fancy.. very old-ish kind of flavour (see
here) and the seminar was mildly interesting... my boss was one of the panelists sharing his advice and another speaker, Professor Seeto also left quite an impression for the way he was talking about the need for education system to be closer to the industry, so that the people who graduate have the skills and knowledge for the kinds of roles they will play in the industry work force... definitely got me thinking (and I will probably share more about that later on)
After the seminar, I had a quick dinner with one of my colleagues, Quentin at Shilin Night Market, where he introduced me to 水煎包, pork rib herbal soup and smelly tofu... it was really a nice dinner :)
After dinner, I headed to the National Concert Hall at Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall for a symphony orchestra concert titled
White Day Concert (next day was White Valentine's Day you see... 白色情人節） Ereca, another colleague had given some of us free tickets so I was at the concert with Prior and his wife, Phoebe, Sandy and Sandy's friend (whom I didn't get to meet cos their seats were further away)... anyway, the music was really good... I felt so cultured and classical after that :)
and that was Friday... very eventful, wasn't it? I think for ease of reading, I shall put Saturday and Sunday into separate posts... :)
