My Book Shelves ... Finally



Most people like to show (off) their book collection, I am kind of late to the party, but finally here they are, a small collection of mine. Impressed? I am. Just don't ask me what I have, I really have no idea, they just kind of sit there like I have never read them.

The Bespectacled Alex

Harry, Alex and Gundam


Note: I hope I got the name right, Gundam. I am not a real fan of this whole "anime" genre. For me it was just cartoon that I watched in the afternoon when I was a kid.

Alex Sees Taiwan


I suggest everybody should have his eyeglasses done in Taiwan, at least the one we went to. It's a mom and pop operation, see the family room and the playpen in the back? And with the machines I saw I have no doubt everything is done on premise and next day service kind of proves that. I have a pair done there as well. It's $1,000 Taiwan dollar (~USD30.478), for a pair of lenses. I love my Shuron Freeway and Sidewinder, I mail ordered them in the States and have the lenses done in HK and Taiwan. Taiwan is the cheapest and on a par if not better than the ones done in HK. I am happy with the ones done in HK, it's just that Taiwan offers a very good price. Actually I regret not to have everything done in Taiwan knowing what I know now. Oh well sometimes things work and sometimes things don't.

Harry Eats Taiwan



Harry doesn't like noodles. There is no way he would like the taste of cilantro. He ate some nonetheless. He's very fastidious, both him, his brother and his Dad too .... I personally like the flavor and the portion.

Home Is Where There Is Cheap Haircut


Here I am, shamelessly taking a snapshot using the Canon SD880 IS. Look mom, there is no viewfinder, I am composing using the gigantic 3" LCD shooting in 16:9 anamorphic cinemascope (I really don't know what I am talking about).

Barber Shop in Chinatown

 Nowadays I loathe to have my haircut, that's why I seldom have mine cut, maybe once or twice a year. I went back to Chinatown. I could ...
