Wonderful Taiwan.....

As there was some time before i start my new job, the Mrs and I took a short trip to Taiwan.
It was a free and easy trip and we promised ourselves to pace it better than our last Europe tour. 5 nites 6 days in Taipei only (and one day for short trips around taipei)

The expectation was low but boy was I pleasantly surprised by the warmness and kindess of the Taiwanese people. And the FOOD is good!!! Eat and eat and eat... of course the Mrs. Bought and BOught and BOUGHT! hahaaa.......

The trip started well as we had to upgrade to business class due to a lack of economy seats. Blame it on bad timing as school holidays started. Well, anyway, since i was using my krisflyer points (courtesy of the countless trips to Germany), i thgt might as well enjoy the flight. And Business Class is GOOD! Good seats, good food and good shows..... :)

There are many highlights of this trip and it probably take me days to write out all the highlights.... But one main thing that sticks out is we felt the warm of the Mrs' Taiwan colleagues..... They really took care of us in between their work.

Glen, Dolly, Martin and Kailing, THank you VERY MUCH!! xie xie ning de zhao dai.....

I guess i can only put some photos here... so here we go.....

Last day.... New Life......

Last Friday (23 May 08), it was my last day in my previous company (DXXXCIL)

2 years passed by in a flash. I have learned much and also done much for the company. However, it was time to leave......

best thing that i have gotten from these years are the friends i made. To my closest team, Bayu, Shelly, Robert and Jasline, THank You Very much for all the help you given me..... We must keep in touch and meet up often

To my German friends, it was very nice to know you and hope to see you guys and Gals soon...

To all my bosses and friends, thanks for everything....

I was also very touched by the gift of a Samsonite Backback and Wii Game from my colleagues. 'sob' sob/.......

Next Monday (2nd June), i will be going to my new job. Pray hard everything goes well!

End of Season 07/08

How did we fare? Good, Bad or just not good enough?

83 points - highest ever total for a 3rd place team
3 losses - Less than manure and only twice in last 40 years have we had fewer defeats in a season (1991 & 2004)
11 draws - this cost us the title.
0 lost at home - superb performance to build on for next season.
31 goals allowed - not good compared to the other big 3. We need to get our focus together on this.
43 on goal differences - firing from a lot of angles. only second to manure.

Not too bad overall compared to last season and the loss of Henry. We were better than ourselves last season BUT manure and Chelski really bought theirselves up one level.Chelski kept their core together and added a few more useful player to have a healthy 2nd cover for each position. Manure exercise their financial power and bought Tevez, Nani and Anderson which rejuvenated the aging legs of Giggs and Scoles.

Well, together with injuries and lack of a quality 2nd stringers, we lost steam at the very last hurdles (last 2 months).So we really need to beef up the squad in anticipation of injuries and suspension.

Look forward to next year.....Go Gunners!!
