annual dinner in communist way

chiang chiang chiang chiang chiang....here i come..the ancient heroine in her battle suit...chiang x5...yesterday was our annual dinner...well..i have to say that this is a unforgetable annual dinner for me...why? coz instead of spending money to have someone entertained us, we have to entertain ourselves...now i know how it feels to be in the operation world...where sales, gross margin, selling & admin costs and operating income means more than anything else!!! haha..i was just exaggerating..well, it's kinda interesting because it helps build relationship between colleagues as we were put in groups..honestly, there are tonnes of ppl out there that i exchange emails or phone calls with everyday but i have no idea who they are and how they look like...it was fun to dress up like this...and i kinda like it too...i didnt know i have "talent" for Chinese Opera..hiak hiak hiak...all other people were dressed up as male heroes and we also had monkey king!! well..i just found out that we have many talented people who could be more successful in the entertainment biz than in the engineering or sales force..haha...one thing i found different about annual dinner in china is...during the lucky draw session, they called out names of ppl...the usual practice that im exposed to is, if you are not there or if you lost your ticket, TOUGH LUCK, you are no winner...and it gives other people hope that they will be the next winner...fair right? who ask youi to be absent or mindless about your "supporting document"?! well, in china, it's totally different...they reserve your rights...if you are not around when your ticket is called, the prize is still YOURS!!! not much fun in my perspective but i guess this is the communist way of lucky draw~~~~

the wonders of donation

Every weekend in HK, you can see old people, kids, students, other people standing at the entrances of MTR stations, at the bridges, at the roadsides etc, having a big bag in front of them...when you try to pass by, they will come chase you and ask u to donate money..well, i'm a kind person but somehow, i dont know where my money will go in the end coz i dont even where and who i'm donating too...the hardest one to reject is old people and kids....old people cos they are old and we need to respect them and because they need to rest mah...for kids, we need to demonstrate a good example to our future....so, what many people do is..they will donate, get the sticker and put it on wherever it's easier for ppl to see...guess what, it's like saying to the world that i'm a kind person, i donate money and it also has the effect of having other ppl not to come and chase u for donation anymore....this is what i found out one day when i donated too, got the flag and saw other ppl wearing the flag and i didnt get disturbed anymore but those who didnt, got chased...hehehe....

feel insecure

this is all of my asset!! looks a lot but it's not...the thing abt china is, the biggest note is RMB100 and things are not cheap here...just RMB5,000 and it looks like u are going to trade it for drugs...but it's in fact not alot..i was so amazed with the amount of notes i had one day when i went to the bank to withdraw pocket money to get ready to go to shanghai...the troublesome thing abt china is, many places don't accept master card & visa card..they only accept their own kind...so....i had to bring a stack of money over...but today, it's all gone!! my landlord is now the rich man :(
