Taipei 101 in the mist


Snapped this shot at the MRT station, Taipei 101 in the mist.

藍又時 (Shadya) concert




Attended my 2nd 藍又時 (Shadya) concert, 1st one was during the last trip in December. Very talented artist, used to write songs for other singers, will be releasing her first album on 3/13, got mine on 3/12 through connection!! Saw her up close at her church event (friend attends same church), pretty girl with great voice, hopefully will get to meet her next time.


Shopping with Arm





Arm took me out for some shopping, for lunch I had some Thail ice desert (had a big breakfast), and Arm had some beef noodle. Went to the restaurant my dad frequents for dinner, as always forgetting to take a pic before digging in.

BKK traffic





Traffic hour in Bangkok. While riding in dad's friend's $200K Mercedes S-class (expensive due to high tax) we spotted a car worth much more, the beautiful classic Mercedes Benz 300SL Gullwing (notice the license plate number).

Short trip to Chiang Mai






Took a "short" trip up to Chiang Mai in Northern Thailand, short because it was only one night, not the 6 hour plus drive each way...... (Average speed 100mph on regular high way). Visited a temple under renovation, and another finished temple.
