27 Begins
Oh Snap! Another year!
Last week was chaotic, came back to Taiwan to attend an utterly unprepared expo scheduled in early November, and my new Dell laptop died on me, wouldn't even start. Coincidently, all my backup files were stored in my old laptop, which was reformatted on the same day the new one crashed.
Thanks to the warranties though, it was fixed by Dell's technician just yesterday, probably the best birthday gift I've ever received! I can't imagine losing 2 years worth of works just 1 week before the official expo. Still haven't figured out why the motherboard died, I suspect it's overheating problem but who knows, all I know is I've got to start backing up my files regularly now!
Besides being behind schedule, Jenny and I still managed to eat and play around town...
Some photos from the past 2 weeks.
The best Beef Stew Noodle I've had in my life, no, actually 半畝園 is slightly better...
But 半畝園 don't have this...
Brought Jenny to this Prawn/Lamb specialty place, one of my favorite in Tao Yuan.
Very chill and relaxing ambience
Mmmm...shirmps...your best friends from the sea.
The Thai prawn, which features bigger heads for juicier sensation.
Lol having a bad day Jenny?
Garlic shrimp
Weird, crunchy textured vegetable 水蓮菜
And their signature: Black Pepper Prawn 胡椒蝦
大羊骨 Lamb (or Goat?) Shank tendon and bones, the straws are for the bone marrow, this dish kicks ass.

Happy Birthday Jacky! 27 sounds like a long time ago...I think I'm getting way too old, mentally.
I just went to a convention too, expo's are fun!
Hope you have a good time in Taiwan.
thanks Motoko, yeah I hope things don't go too out of place, there's always the first time for everything, I'll try to enjoy it!
Shit I forgot I have a Xanga account lol. I like the flyers you've designed, keep up the good work! Fak why didn't you bring us to the shrimp and lamb place last year?! I would've cancel a whole day's plan for what I just saw. Last time I had 半畝園 I was with you, yea...that long. Speaking of Cuppertino, I forgot that I like to read comics. Where are we with Ravages of Time??
i know man what you been up to? i thought i mentioned this restaurant when i met you in taipei, anyhow it'd take a while to get to taoyuan back and forth, plus i didn't wanna have to treat you haha j/p
i don't follow Ravages of Time very much, I was on Lu Bu being captured which was like a century ago... only thing I follow is Blade of the Immortal and Naruto.
anyway, update your xanga, post some pictures man, see yall in Xmas!
love your shoes, bro~ still spend big bucks on it heh? lol
Love the food, man. Can't wait to go back this winter or so~
yeah it's been a while man, can't cut the old habit!
