1st of September

I cannot even ask for a nicer start of the new month.. A day filled with water fun, good food (Tonkatsu!), great friends, and even a fashion show!!!

Started off the morning with an early swim, with The Wu Bois, at San Ming Pool - just a 10 minute walk from the house... Quite refreshing to be in the pool as I did not get to do so much, this summertime..... Just the right amount of people for a Saturday and the water temperature - refreshingly good...

 

Then we all got ready to have a quick lunch at SUBWAY, Song Shan Aiport and see David off, for another trip....  hung out there for a good couple of hours....  nice and cool as their air conditioning has got to be the BEST in Taipei!!!

 

Then I had to ruch back home and change again as I am to meet the gals for dinner and a COACH FASHION SHOW....   and though I thought I was already nicely dressed, it will just not do, as I have sweated so much already from just walkinga few blocks to catch my bus....  so home I went for another quick shower and a change... Perfect as Sue also happend to be in my neighborhood so she just picked me up....  then we got Juliana and Cecilia and we headed to the Mitsukoshi Areas for a quick bite before the show....

Dinner was good.... Perfect choice as I have not had TONKATSU in a while.....  the resto is quite nice and the food - good and filling....  how can you complain, all you can eat Salad, (Sticky) Rice and Soup.... all of it - YUMMY!!!

The we stopped off COACH's shop in A9, as Sue had to pick up this year's Limited Edition bag...  she gets first dibs as she is one of COACH Taiwan's VIP clients...   so as Juliana and Cecilia....  and this is why they also get invited to the PREVIEW FASHION SHOW they put on once a year....   and am LUCKY enough to have been invited for the 2nd year in a row.....

 

COACH Men's and Women's Catalogs were handed out to all guests.... and a few LUCKY VIP ones were given this commemorative BAG TAG...  the design and pattern is actually that of used for the Men's Fall/Winter Collection...

Then the Fashion Show commenced as beautiful and hansome models comes strutting down the runway carrying COACH's Brand New Bag Collection....   wowing the crowds enough that right after the show, they shopped for the key pieces.....  it was infectious, but yes, I held out....   as much as I like the design for the new Men's line, am not quite thrilled with the colors....

Ending the nite with COLDSTONE ICE CREAM - JUST PERFECT!!!!
