"從心看見老台南"

台南人的熱情跟誠懇的天性，讓許多人對這個老城市印象深刻。柯金祥也是其中之一，他在這個老城市得到創作的靈感，於是希望
結合數位藝術以及個人的體驗，重新詮釋老台南的十二個地點，讓更多人可以看到大街小巷裡鮮為人知的老故事，去感受每幅畫背後的故事，例如傳承、誠信、分享以及人文。他要用畫作邀請世界各地的人到老台南駐留，用心去體驗並創造屬於他們自己的故事。

My design buddy, Scot Herbst was leaving our office yesterday. My feeling was complicated to see his cube empty. I drew a card to him for a best wish. I know he will start his great adventure and find a better place mentally. He will focus on his product business, totally respect his motivation and bravery. Bye, the talent, funny and curly hair designer, Scot! If any of you are watching this blog and have kids, please visit here. http://www.kaikudesign.com/ Check it out his prodcuts! :)

"iChef"

It's a magic tool for cooker. How can you make a great cooking? In addition to get the flash material, seasoning ingredient is also the important element! iChef is allowed to give everyone a big hand, when someone is not familiar to the recipe or making seasoning combination. Knock iChef and Click menu, it will show the recipe and make the right seasoning combination only in 10 seconds.

OMG! Can I buy one? sorry, it's SashaPure project, just a concept design...

a bad day 03/01/09

2009-03-02T10:16:00.000-08:00

Yesterday afternoon, I got involved in a series cars accident near by Treasure Island on freeway 80...
Luckily, I'm ok, and my car just got minor damages from the back...
But It was pretty scary, 3 or 4 cars in front of me are all hit hard, also 2 other cars in the other lanes....
I was in between like a sandwich.... Thanks God! I'm ok...
The girl who hit my car back bumper is just a student. When it happened, in the mirror, I saw her tired to stop the car but it slides into my car.... damn~
I was in shock. I think we all were..... I didn't know what to do for couple seconds, all blank....
That is a very scary moment.

Let's remind all of us, drive safely !!!
My friends, drive safely!!!! I mean you, you, and you!!!

Good morning and good night

2009-02-14T12:22:00.000-08:00

Compose,Lyrics/ Sasha Tseng
Guitar/ Jongwon Pak

You say good morning honey
How are you today
Are you still missing me?
Good night honey
Everything’s alright
Still miss you so badly

I write your name in heart
To call you come into my dream
Wish you all right there
I’ll come back to you soon

I say good morning honey
I sing a song for you
To wake up your day
Good night honey
A kiss for good dream
I’m always with you.

Listen the song http://www.sashapure.com/goodmorning

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This song was begun when I stayed in Hong Kong; we had hard time between day and night reverse. We say good morning and good night to each other every day, wish we can keep our love warm and sweet. Thanks god allows me back to him so soon. I finished it very recently as a beautiful piece for Valentine’s gift; wish to see his smile when he listens to it.

Thanks to the great guitarist, Jongwon, he is amazing at playing guitar, I know that following my non-professional tempo and tone is super hard! He still nails it, thanks Jongwon, you are the best.

You are a super hero, an artist, a great dancer, and a girl who can make funny faces, but you are also very emotional...
