Birthday: P’s mom hit 70 on Tuesday. We took her out to Ping’s Seafood Restaurant on Mott Street. A little pricey, but worth it for the food and the service. Recommended.
Searching: Three men are still feared lost on the face of Mt. Hood. One of them is a part Asian lawyer from Brooklyn that I know. There is still hope for them.
Passing: One of the librarians at work was killed in a tragic accident in Brooklyn Heights on Wednesday. The funeral is in Ohio on Thursday. This is the most horrible thing that could have happened to such a kind person.
Say a prayer, would ya?
Been a while since posting but wanted to wish everyone a happy and healthy holiday season. Been a pretty tough couple of months and things are just starting to settle down to more manageable issues @ work.
Next year, looking forward to new role and responsibility that’s a WIP (work in progress) plus a new high profile but high risk project with tight schedule…. Because of all the work things, I’ve found myself doing more and more reading and studying. I’ve ante-upped on my Amazon books wish-list which you can see by clicking —>
I count my blessings that I was born with the unsatiable curiosity and desire to read which I thank my parents for. I fear that if I hadn’t had this love, I would be hopelessly swamped in today’s bump and grind corporate world where just keeping up is as hard as it’s ever been.
The previous weekend, I also taught a PMP class and despite the horrible class materials, my improvisation was a welcomed change by the students and many have thanked me. That’s made all the difference really to hear that I helped them and made a difference :). The pay wasn’t bad either ;).
Last weekend, B- and I walked around the Xinyi shopping area and did some X-mas browsing and food court sampling. Food courts here in Taipei malls are actually pretty gourmet-type experiences, not pedestrian in the US.
Going to HK tomorrow night for a day. Catch you all laters.
