Moments & Memory of Dave Kuo

Paul Potts is coming to Taiwan to share with his wonderful voice and his modesty in Oct 2008! He is the winner of Britan's singing competition 2007. I would like to share with you all the 2 video clips and please kindly observe his attitude towards the entire competition from the 1st audition to the final round which he actually won against others.

Comments and reaction from the audience and judges moreover with Paul Potts' own feedback would puts you in the position that "nothing is impossible"!

Recently, lots people have kindly comment on my "photo skill" and it is to a point that I, along with my friends, have kindly drawn my attention to address this "issue". After thinking about it, I have decided to plung myself into the the world "single lense camera". (I am sure, you will be ... WHAAAAATT, David, we ask you to keep your hand still, not asking you to get a new camera).

Well here is a photo that I took with my new Nikon 1000D with Sigma lense (18-200MM with optical stablizer function)! Woow I was really amaze with the picture quality and have put my hands very steady!

(I also went to the book store, and got myself on learning how to take photo in 30 days --> very typical of me)

If you feel like to give me a word of encouragement (which I need it), please kindly drop me a message on the blog! (www.davekuo.net/blog)

It is really sad to see what happen to China on the disaster which took away many innocent lives. Until today, the number of death has reached over 60,000 people annouced by the prime minister today.

Here is list of video clips of songs sang by the singer from China, HK and Taiwan. Let's all pray for people who are affected by the earthquake.

Never thought that presidential election commercial can be made like movie production. (Well, I am not here to support either political party, but look it at purely from a marketing stand point).

Recently, the worst things has happened when my backup drive was borken just after 2 days that I had to re-installing of my laptop, because I can't log-in. Never thought that my back up drive would die on me, so that I took time to reformat and re-install everything on my laptop. Just when I was about to copy all the data back to my laptop, strange noise like a broken motor.

So the moral of the story is to do a "backup your backup"!

My family and a friend went for the 4 people dinner set for 2800NT. The service was excellent, especially paid extra attention to all the kids by giving out ballon and small gift to keep the kids like my daughter entertained. (in another words, dady and momy and their friend can eat while feeling very comfortable in bringing their kids)
