GOt plan?
Although I wasn't able to finish the Starbucks Christmas tradition of collecting stamps, I still got my 2010 Planner!yey!=)
Every year the planner gets simpler and all three designs :the art of coffee making are in black and white. I chose the 3rd stage which is the brewed coffee already in a cup.
Collecting these planners annually will also help the Spark Hope charity.

Wonderful time of the year
Christmas feeling is very late this year. Everybody seemed so busy or not so interested in decorating Christmas ornaments till it was two weeks before the 25th.
Luckily, I joined a Christmas party and saw this Christmas village decoration at the lobby of VIP Hotel. It looks like Winter Wonderland for me and if I were still a kid, I would fantasize to be here!
Then, this welcomed me in the embassy hall. This reminds me of the Snow dance in the classical ballet of Nutcracker.
This year my mom opted to put up the smaller Christmas tree, and minimal decorations at home.
Some people say that as you get older, celebrations are not a big thing to celebrate, or parties become so corny.This year may not have been a grand celebration, but thelechon is still present, a festive way to celebrate the birthday of Jesus.

Taipei 101
My friend told me we were going to the tallest building in the world or the second tallest after that one in Dubai was built, and ride the fastest elevator . I was scared that I might be nauseated from the ride and being in that building would make my knees shaky which always happens when I am in the heights.
One good reason that I was okay was because the elevator was really fast!Too fast that I didn't even remember that I was scared at all. I only felt my ears pop but I was so engrossed with this and watching how fast we arrived to the 88th floor.(the time I clicked the cam was on the 86th floor and it was already slowing down.)
It was pretty foggy and rainy that night so we weren't able to go out in the viewing deck at the 91st floor.I only have this decent night view photo of the building.

C.K.S. Memorial Hall
The Chiang Kai-shek Memorial is a grand stature and made me just say 'wow' in awe as I stood in front of the great edifice. It showcases the Chinese culture well preserved in the country and their modern architectural design, which mind you, was built in 1980.
The gate features a structure of 5 doors, 6 pillars and eleven stories with a rooftop of blue glazed glass tiles.
This is the memorial hall, the roof takes the shape of ren which means human beings and is a Chinese symbol which expresses the harmony between men and nature.
Inside the memorial are exhibits of arts and memorabilias of the late leader.The design of the ceiling in the main hall is their national emblem.
C.K.S. Memorial is well preserved and is one of the higlights of Taiwan
