最近因為MSN Tagline寫著“人在臺北”，所以得到很多朋友的關心問候。

每一次他們跟我說：“你就好啦～可以做自己喜歡的東西。堅持夢想”的時候，我都只能傻笑。

“朝九晚五”的人，總會羨慕不必面對“自己不喜歡的工作 還有 壓力” 的朋友。
可是，老實的問問自己：有一份工作是不必面對： 時限壓力，人事問題，還有規律性/重復性的事項呢？
大家的羨慕都來自于看到別人工作的“好”。可是老天是公平的啦，有得就有舍。

你看我好 我看你好 而已啦，朋友!

Finally met up with an old buddy who was working here. It had been years since I've last saw my friend. And it was great doing catch up work, updates from both sides. My friend brought me to this Japanese restaurant which we had to queue up 20mins to get a seat. Luckily, the food was worth the wait!

My friend told me that everybody is here for the unagi. And it tasted fantastic! The way it was grilled, hinted me of char-siew (叉燒), which is absolutely aromatic and suited my taste. This was the highlight of the day!

Then we decided to go shopping and our destination just so happen to pass by this landmark: 臺北小巨蛋 (Xiao Ju Dan). This is THE concert arena for Taipei, much like Bukit Jalil is to KL, just... nicer.

Anyways, THIS was our real destination:

IKEA! Or as it was called here: Yi Jia 宜家家居
It's very much the same, IKEA here and KL. Nothing much worth noting.

After some walking, we stopped down for coffee. Coffee houses is like THE trend in Taipei. People here can't live without them.

Anyways, just to show you the "coffee scene" in Taipei during weekend:

This is how HOT it is! You had to queue to get into Starbucks~!
Well, that's why we've decided to skip Starbucks and go somewhere with less people. And after ordering our coffee, we were given this little gadget:

It's like a beeper/pager.

The last time I was given this fancy gadget was back in Vegas, while queuing to get a table. They gave this so that u don't have to stand 45mins in the restaurant. You can walk around the casino (as long as u r within a certain radius/distance), and they will buzz you when it's your turn to be served. Frankly, for a small coffee house, with a less than 5min queue, I really don't see the point of using this. You could've just called or at most, yell and we've be right there. But that's just my 2 cents, of course!
