Merry Christmas!

It's the Christmas season again. :) As a Christian and a person who was born in December 25, I always like Christmas a lot. This year there will be something different, but it's still not the time to tell why. Maybe a few days later I will let you guys know why it's a little different.

Last Christmas I helped to hold the Christmas party in InterVideo Ulead because I was a member of Ulead Employee Welfare Committee. This year we will not have a party for the Christmas in InterVideo Ulead, but we do have a party for joining the Corel family. As some of you already know, Corel had completed the acquisition for InterVideo Ulead in December 12. On that day, some Corel management people came to Taipei and met us in the employee meeting to announce the acquisition. And after the meeting we had a cocktail party to celebrate the event. If you wish to know how it goes, you can check the party photos in my flickr album.

I took some pictures of Corel people in the party. For example, this one:
This is the CEO of Corel Corporation, David Dobson. I think I like him, and he is much more handsome than what you see on the picture. Will he take Corel InterVideo Ulead to another higher stage? Maybe, we will see.

And I photoed another Ulead people here:
This is Tobias Openshaw. Most of time we call him Tobie. He is the editing manager in the Strategic Marketing Division of Ulead and was the product marketing manager for Ulead's video product line. He is also the photographer to take photos in the parties in InterVideo Ulead. He is very active in film editing and helped Ulead on the promotion for VideoStudio / MediaStudio Pro a lot. Before joining Ulead he was an armorer for some independent film in USA. You can see his filmography on IMDB as well.

He is a really nice person, and I like his pose here when I was trying to take a photo of him. :)

We enjoyed the cocktail party for a while, and that reminds me about the past life I had with Ulead. Well, it's not bad, isn't it?

Tomorrow I will join the Christmas activities in the church, maybe I will come back and share the feeling I have in the church.

It's a little late here in Taiwan. I think it's time for me to go to bed. Merry Christmas to you all, and may Gold bless you.
