Comedy Club, Hypnosis Show, Canoeing

Eventful weekend.

I went to the Comedy Club for the first time and saw a Hypnosis Show, except that nobody got successfully hypnotized. What a pity ... I was expecting some funny stuff to happen.

In order to get hypnotized, one needs to "want" to be hypnotized. Some people are "highly hypnotizable", while some are not. Heh... I could never do it ... I am too logical.


I went underneath the 大直橋 for canoeing on Sunday. They only let us canoe in a small area, but it was a good change of event.

Ah ... time to add to the Marketing Project.

Swing Dance

I went to this Swing Dance event in Taipei today. The last time I did Swing Dance was ummm... 8 years ago, when I was a sophomore in college. I love the music, and I love the dance. Too bad we only learned a little bit today. For some reason, I soak in the moves really quickly and I'm always wanting to learn more moves.

Dancing makes me free, and makes me forget about the "trouble", at least temporarily.

Ah... so first Salsa, then Tango, and now Swing. More and more dances are imported to Taiwan. ;)

I wonder when there will be a Swing community in Hsinchu?

"Nine" Village (九族文化村)

This weekend, I went to 九族文化村 with 3 other friends (I was the driver, of course). It was my first time there. It's basically a cultural/amusement park. We checked out each of the nine original Taiwanese tribes and enjoyed some performances. I'm no expert, so they all look the same to me. There are like 4 or 5 amusement park rides that has nothing to do with the 9 tribes, so I have no idea why they are there... maybe they want to position themselves like Leofoo village or something. Maybe that way they can charge 700nt. But from a marketing perspective, they seem to be losing their focus. The parking lot is basically empty. I think it's a place no one likes to go the 2nd time.

By the way, my car keys flew outta my pocket during one of the rides. Heh... had a scare there!

Funny cartoon

Hehe ...

Sad day at the stock market

My TSMC is only 44.95 now.
I knew I had a bad feeling when my broker advised me to buy at 48.2 ><><

Fuck.. not again!

Ok fucking A.

My car got towed again.

3RD FUCKING TIME this MONTH!

FUCK!

You think I'm fucking rich or something?

That's 7000nt spent this month on parking tickets.


Last time was cuz they suddenly decided to do construction near where I parked. But THIS time?? That car never got in the way of anybody! Oh, except for maybe "SIPlove". God, if it was THEM who towed my car, I'm gonna startup a company and put them outta business.


(the above was written @ 1am under a lot of stress. Kindly excuse the language.)

Too much shit.

Imagine you're an owner of a shop, and all of your employees decided to suddenly quit at the same time and all of a sudden you might need to close the store.

Right at the busiest month.

Pretty fucking good timing.


Ok that's not my case, but I think it's a pretty good analogy.


All these shit happening and there's no one I can tell.

TSMC: sold for 49.9

Minus the transaction fees ... I was left with 49.68. But still good for a 2580nt profit (something like that).

Dinosaurs

In Taiwan, we call really ugly girls "恐龍" (dinosaurs).

Still hurting from the breakup, I decided to go on Skype and chat some gals out. That afternoon, I decided to meet one of them.

I've met more than 50 gals from the internet throughout my lifetime ... this one gotta be top 5 in terms of dinosaurs.

But really friendly girl. A nice personality.

My first 24 hours of owning a stock

My first 24 hours of owning a stock, I've lost 1000nt.
C'mon ... go back up ...

Toyota Vios: Top speed = 165km/h

Hsinchu -> Banchiao: 28 minutes. Record time.

I was driving 140~150km/h most of the way though.

I only went below 140km/h for tolls and police cars.

Hon Hai (Foxconn)

Hon Hai fell to 92.2. Record low in 11 years.

I remember it was like, 300+ just last year.

Ai... my former company ...

My poor colleagues who didn't sell their stocks last year when they received 'em must be kicking themselves right now.

A point to ponder

Why ... do all the cute girls sit together, and all the ugly girls sit together?

This becomes more apparent as you goto a class with 100+ students.

Stock Market

I bought a stock! I bought a stock!

My first stock of my life!

It is 台積電 (TSMC)!

According to my broker, I bought it at 47.1. Let's see what happens. :)
