Maybe I shouldn’t include the exclamation mark, because I am not exactly excited at getting this phone.
It was in fact, free. I got it from a draw at yesterday’s annual appreciation dinner.
A BenQ T51. What a piece of shit phone.
Well, better than nothing. I think the first thing I do when I get my hands on it is to sell it.
Fuck, stupid Taiwan stock market dropped more than 500 points.
That is like more than 6%. Daily limit is 7%, so you can see how deep of a drop it was.
I must have entered into the stock market at the worst possible time. Absolutely, the WORST possible time.
Since I entered it dropped more than 2,000 points already. How fucked up is this, I am down 33% of my mutual funds.
Please please, I just hope Ma Ying-jeou makes President at the March election…
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.
I was told at this time of the year, Turkey is cold.
While I was packing my stuff, I asked myself, just how cold?
Therefore, I checked The Weather Channel, and this is what it tells me.
Istanbul
Ankara
This is really really cold. Much colder than Taipei, and even Melbourne too. Istanbul might be OK, but Ankara is really going to kill me.
I really don’t feel like going anymore.
I took this image on Mingchuang bridge, Neihu.
Here are some more, larger versions.
