I'M BACK.

Living in Taiwan: love it.

People here are "re-qing". Warmhearted, kind, genuine, hospitable, caring, understated, selfless, giving. While HK is "home", Taiwan brings a whole new dimension to the word.

Working at Nike: love it.

We start marketing meetings with the questions: what more can we do to enable young people? What more can we do to inspire young people? How can we get better? I think I have been asking myself these questions since I have been an adult, and finally I have a platform to deliver answers.

Traveling a lot: mostly to Shanghai, but have mixed in NYC, LA, Portland, Seoul, Hong Kong.

I still love Hong Kong, but my new favourite cities are Taipei and Seoul. There just seems to be a higher sense of pride and identity. A higher sense of community. A feeling that there is something more to living. Having said that, I would love to live in Hong Kong again. As long as I can afford a 4-bedroom property near the sea or in Happy Valley.

Being a father: wow.

I have two incredibly bright, vivacious girls. My 2 year old daughter manages chopsticks at the dinner table better than my parents ever will. My 5 year old is competitive and loves to read and write. They have become my revelations. They represent my hope for humanity.

Missing my friends.

The one thing that I have let happen - something I vowed never to let happen: disconnecting from my friends. It happened so fast. My daughters came. My friends were gone. I am trying to reconnect as best as I can. I always wanted to be someone others can count on. I still am.

Love to all. If you come to Taipei, look me up.

hospitals suck

Friday, May 1, 2009 8:13PM / Members only

sitting

on a hard single

mattress, white sheet, white walls, old blue blanket

books and patients

regular checks,

sleepless evenings and earlier morning

beg for the healing to begin

in a moment's notice

in space defined by pulsemetres

and rhythms.

this morning i watched the sunrise

reflected off the harbour ships

far off, little frozen mirrors floating

waiting, welcoming:

no nerves calmed in ward bed -

the congee man comes soon after.

sevenhundredfortyfive pages

into an 1100 pager,

words tangle with thoughts of

walking, with what ifs,

with blood clots

and amputation,

then back to the words once again.

what makes me so lucky?

what if i am not?

genteel doctors make the rounds

seniors get the ten cent show

subjects means to ends, and so on:

some lots better than others, some

dependent on degree of rupture

and thus on success of surgery:

"here we have a 35 year old basketball player"'

he said congenially to his seniors,

nodding and wondering and ready to continue

their rounds at all costs. on to the next bed.

bring me home. little daughters.

bring me home to my queen.

DONE.

A comeback cut short.

After an attempt at a career extension.

Was it really cut short?

Or have I already outlasted my stay?

Was last year's farewell the true exclamation?

Is there ever?

I have never believed in fate. Only coincidence.

But now, it seems that I have tempted both.

No melodrama.

I won't ever play this game again.

I will never dunk again.

Only remember. Cherish:

A career beloved.

Om.

Race, Van, P-Money & crew

Thursday, Mar 26, 2009 1:44AM / Members only

Had the priv to host Race, Van Ness, Phil and Co. last week at the Dub.

Coincided with the onset of the Film Festival and a slew of stars coming in.

The above served as a first class warm up. It felt like family immediately, from the first site visits to the last stage of shooting at the Living Room bar, where I had to ask Phil to use hand signals so he wouldn't disturb the packed house of actual guests! Turned out, actually, our guests - who have come to understand that at W Hotels, this sort of thing can happen anytime - didn't really care that there were DV cams surveying the room.

Thanks Race and Van for the nice greeting to my daughter. Despite her bad mood, she was referring to you both as "jie jie" and "ge ge" later when i showed her your web pages.

All good things from the W.

Hi Matthew,
Would like to chat with you. I am planning to start up a business in HK offering tourists a rental electronic travel guide based on a mobile phone, e.g. iPhone with video tours about HK, GPS navigation, etc. I already collected a lots of positive feedback and started to talk to the major hotels in HK. How could I best reach you?
Thanks,
Matt
