Sawadee from Taipei !

Suvarnabhumi was a breeze this afternoon.

The counter girl @ KLM was nice. She upgraded me from Economy to Economy Comfort. It's a very small section with about 40 seats.

Arai wa? U in taiwan?? You also another one of those take aeroplane machiam take taxi.

Yes, you can. If it's just for consumption @ home, it's okay. Or you can even consider a Gaggia Classic, which is even cheaper and easier to operate.

I asked around @ Central Departmental Store before I left. The list price is 23,900 or something like that. If you buy from Central Store, it's 10% off. If you have M Card, it's 15% off, but I believe for the latter you might have to have accumulated points.

Frankly, I hate flying because it costs money. But I paid only 9,000 plus for KLM flight this time, and I even got upgraded to Economy Comfort, which is one class below World Business Class.

I know bending would cost more. I'm looking for a basic design with no bending. @ Taiwan, it costs 3K luminous on both side.

Amazing thing is she also got a 70,000 baht rebate from the government's first time owner scheme max at 100,000 baht. This scheme is limited to cars less than 1.5L. Cool right, paying only $15.6k for a brand new car.

Bro, 70K baht rebate applicable to Tang Chat or not ?

Central Departmental Stores requires Central Card. M card is for Emporium, The Mall and Paragon.

If anyone of you requires points to exchange discount vouchers in Central please let me know I got plenty and can spare. As for the others unmentioned above big discounts can be gotten from M card or the Citi Card for Emporium this one I also have lots of points but must go personally, no problem for me just buy me a beer.

In Tapas Cafe (Sukhumvit 11) a Spanish restaurant. Very nice place, good food, nice crowd, nice music

My favourite tapas, prawn very sweet with white wine

Thanks for the correction.

btw, Central Card no need to go personally ?

Thanks for the correction.

Depends on the program but most of the time it's by vouchers. So if you know the item maximum discount say this item is 30% maximum (ask staff) then use points in card to redeem for the voucher to be use for the purchase. Whatever the case you still need to meet me and buy me a beer.

We're still in the hide and seek game leh.

If you are phuying and we're in a situation like this and I know one day in advance you're going to be in Taoyuan you can bet I'll be waiting for you there.

Sawasdee krup everyone. Ha Friday today I am so happy because I could spend the entire weekend for myself as tomorrow is not a working day.

About Jeremy Lin case first of all lets give some respect to the freedom of press in Taiwan I wish Singapore has such freedom and unbiased reporting.

Actually its a puzzle to me also about the frenzy in Taiwan and among the Taiwanese because Jeremy is a pure breed American and not Taiwanese at all it funny isn't it? But I guess its good for the media company who can find something to report.

Jah I believe you are referring to many other sources like internet forums and perhaps even American news criticizing Jeremy Lin and this one I fully agree with you there are many out there including many blacks who is jealous of Jeremy Lin's performance. And these criticism had gone overboard to become racist calling Jeremy Lin chink or worst. I only can say these are sour grapes.

I subscript to Taiwanese channels too in Bangkok and have like a package of 64 channels (including 2 softcore and 4 hardcore porno channels, but they are locked and need password to access in case children or maid turn on) and I have to agree with KYP that sometimes all these repeated news become very ger-lat until no point to view them.

Have a nice weekend guys.

Seriously when have those americans not ever made fun of asians or found out some excuse to explain away asian success? Yup it's pure jealousy and even some local sinkies do that. They are too used to kissing a black man's ass in the nba. You must also know j-lin was racially discriminated and that were it not for one team mate of his not playing i don't think he would even be allowed to see court time. Try being an asian and play professional sports in the US. You might have the height and the weight to play but still ppl will think you're just somehow inferior in sports.

I guess lin being a chinese and from taiwan specifically has made him really famous amongst them which is nothing unusual. If a malay american became famous i'm sure malaysians would be happy for him.

Jeremy Lin is not from Taiwan. He's a chinese born in Los Angeles on 23rd August 1988. He is brought up in America too and goes back Taiwan occasionally only to visit relatives. Only his parents are from Taiwan. Both he and brother are from America.
