current events: March 2008 Archives

Pictures of taipei will be up soon. In the mean time, I can show you these. Various hip and trendy clubs/bars I got taken to by some friends.

Bathroom of Primo, Taipei. It was a soft opening night that night. I was introduced to some of the nicest people. Even shook hands with the owner of the ever so famous Bar Rouge in Shanghai.

Club 18, I've never seen a club filled with so many people.

Tila Taquela, met Faye Wong's manager in this bar.

Post election celebration. People were ecstatic about the result.

See those shots? I wasn't kidding about people being happy that weekend.

Ex-collegues invited me to a field trip couple weeks back. Just got them back today.

View from the top of Houhai hill. The weather in beijing that day sucked, but the forbidden city still looked glorious in the smog.

View of the hill from the boat.

Former Ogilvy colleagues. Thanks Vivian Guo for the invite, I had fun :)

Tibet Tibet, you are China's forever. We love Tibet more than Dhalai, more than Bjork. Tibet can't leave, not during war, not during peace, not during economic difficulties, not during Olympics, not during anything.

Ever notice most songs are written about love? From a secret crush, to love at first sight, to heart break, to longing. Desire can be beautiful and scary at the same time. Does love make us stronger? Then why do we reveal so much vulnerabilities to a loved one? Does it make us weak? Then why do we abuse a loved one's trust sometimes? As we move on, we become skeptics, cynics, and sometimes, abusers, and yet, we put our selves in this loop. I'm not in love. I'm not in doubt. I am... despondent.
