woke up at 6. the world still here.  did not notice any change last nite when he went to sleep at 1am. these few days not sleeping well, even at the noon-time naps. perhaps something has got into his head again. he needs some panadol, but couldn't be found at where it used to be; he has finished them up without replenishing.

yesterday noon time, he received a call. she said, "guess what? i got good news."
he said, " i think my prayer has come true."
she said, "her friend has found her engagement ring."
he was reliefed and thank GOD. he prayed for it when she told him she lost her ring in the office and could not find it after many searches. and yet her colleague found it on the floor in his floor(which is different from her office floor). she must have lost it when she was having coffee with him in his floor the day before.

the day before, they had dinner in kudeta for her birthday, 52nd floor up in mbs. contemporary food, good but not that outstanding, though the view up there was fantatstic. $180 for 4. ok lah.

came back from taiwan, visiting his engineers last week(10-12 dec). travel by the 8am zichiang 207 train by the east side, went through hua lian, and huatung zungku, then changed to zichiang 307 from taitung to kaohsiung. very nice place. had dinner in taipei in a teochiew restuarant; food soso only. and dinner at a hotpot restaurant in kaohsiung. food ok, but not HOT enuff; they asked for medium hot, he was conscious his colleagues could not take the hottest one.
