2009 Birthday

This is always enjoyable to have a series of birthday celebrations in the month of July, because this is a good excuse to be with my dearest friends, families and colleagues. Again, I will be reminded that i am surrounded by a lot of people who loves me.
Celebration started in mid July onwards, as of today, the closing of July, i had too many laughters and surprises. how can i ask for more!
Thank you everyone who have warmed my heart in this special month!

Mr Tse has got the BEST tricks ever this year. Birthday cake is just part 1, and i really enjoyed part 2 + the gift.

A difficult decision to make!

Kai Lan is getting healthier and healthier these days, and we are prepared to let her see our dearest friends! Kai Lan was born on 222 (Feb 22, 2009), and we orginally think that we should organize the party on 22 August. However, Cat said the party is too far away, so i suggested 15 or 22 August 2009.
After seeking Ah Yea's advice, we should actually ask the birthday girl - Kai Lan.
With this idea in mind, i have checked her preferences tonight. It seems that it is a difficult decision to make.
Enjoy the video featuring the latest dog model in Hong Kong, Kai Lan (nickname: Angelabubby)

Ballpen Tattoo

Ah Lun orginally wanted to "say" 頂 to me while we were checking the Japanese noodle order form. He suddenly changed his mind, and decided to "write" this word on my hand with the ball pen. In order not to make me angry, he wrote 好 following 頂. In a split of a second, he changed the situation from hell to heaven. In fact, his handwriting is usually very ugly, but it seems that he finds it more comfortable if he is writing on skin.

城門水塘半天遊

很久沒有坐過電單車了!!

限量版新色m&m

像炮彈一樣的花蕾 - Amazing!

好漂亮的粉紅色

有胎痣的樹 (阿倫聲稱是遊人的嘔吐物)

跟老爺遊車河

我們經常吃的小菜館已搬家, 這趟還是第一次去新店, 我同阿倫就覺得味道變了!

之後, 我地去了青馬大橋的觀景台, 我又記得上一次接donna機的趣事, 坐著阿爺的"開薘車"到此一遊.

芥蘭最新的英文名 - Angelabubby

由於靚模當道, 謝生有見及此特別為芥蘭改了一個新的英文名.......Angelabubby
原因有二:
1. 芥蘭都是妙齡少女 (只有6個月大), 非常匹配一個靚模的名
2. 芥蘭天生就有兩條粗粗的黑眼線, 仲有強勁的smokey eyes, 佢的血早已存在著優秀的modelling talent
費事跟得Angelababy咁勁, 所以叫佢做Angelabubby啦!

你地睇吓, Angelababy 同 Angelabubby都是這樣坐的! So Cool!!!!!!!

2009 Business Trip #5 - Singapore (Day 3)

終於食到了chatter box的chicken rice. 又真係幾好食

Hilarious - The dog never learned to bark

2009 Business Trip #5 - Singapore (Day 2)

I had two intersting experiences to share today:
1) Barcook Bakery
Last week, i asked the travel agent to prepare some refreshments for the group during my presentation. They have therefore bought very tasty buns from the newly opened Barcook Bakery. It is a Taiwanese bakery shop opened lately nearby the travel agent's office, and the signature bun is called Raisin Cream. It is so soft and the cream cheese is surprisingly matching with the taste of raisins. May be I found this very yummy as I did not have lunch today.
2) Hong Kong Street
I discovered that there is a Hong Kong street in Singapore today.
Hong Kong, I miss you so much. Taxi drivers here always say they like HK, I am homesick on Day 2 already.
By the way, I miss Kai Lan and her master too.

2009 Business Trip #5 - Singapore (Day 1)

My second trip to Singapore in 2009. I have decided not to stay with the big brands this round. According to my media friend at Business Traveller, there is one new boutique in Singapore, ie Quincy Hotel. It is very close to the Orchard Road, it's actually in the uphill area (Mount Elizabeth) from Paragon Mall.

Guests staying in this 4-star hotel will enjoy complimentary mini bar, free breakfast, free lunch and free dinner, free internet and one-way complimentary airport transfer.

I am enjoying the hotel like duck duck is enjoying herself.

Can you see my friend sitting on the cushion?

Wow, complimentary molton brown products

Bad feng shui, mirror everywhere! ha ha!

The Oui Story

It's hilarious, at least Cat, Meiling and Ah Lun think this is funny.
We met a very interesting waitress in France. When we ordered our dinner, she kept saying oui (which means yes) in her funny look. To kill time, Ah Lun imitated the waitress and we had so much fun afterall to compensate the disgusting dinner we had.

芥蘭的Biography

芥蘭, 又名喪蘭, 祖籍法蘭西.

父母因工作關係, 早於千禧年移居香港, 及後遇上金融海嘯, 經濟拮据, 無力撫養芥蘭.

2009年4月26日, 芥蘭得到謝氏一家收養, 終於一嘗飽的滋味……從此以後, 見到食物的時候, 都忍受不住誘惑, 故意扮成未食過飯的樣子.

芥蘭現居於青衣, 臭名遠播, 近至荃灣遠至香港島, 均得悉其大食及愛便便的性格.

芥蘭雖則是女生, 其殘暴的性格亦聞名遐邇. 在一個盛夏的晚上, 芥蘭把自己最心愛的河馬玩伴咬死, 半個腦袋被咬碎. 河馬在深切治療部經過急救後, 返魂乏術, 變成「植物河馬」. 接上新耳朵的河馬仍舊居於芥蘭的家, 終日被芥蘭在無知覺的情況下坐住.

註: 特別鳴謝阿倫提供極之無聊的意見

芥蘭 - 妳長大之後一定要靚過佢呀!

芥蘭跟這隻french bulldog的共通點就是一副"無表情"的表情
天呀! 佢地究竟在想什麼?

New Toy - Tennis Ball

Kai Lan is recently addicted to her new toy, an old tennis ball.

She has been chasing the ball from the kitchen to the living room (and vice versa) for a thousand times.

She just does not like the idea that I touched the ball. Obviously, she really does not know the beauty of this game. She is really stupid, inside out!

長舌婦芥蘭

你地搵什麼呢?
其實佢係咬唔實個波......我一搶就攞到
死霸難霸.......奸狗

夏日新煮意 - 蘋果炒芥蘭

我在city super的狗部門買了一樣好好笑的禮物給芥蘭 - 就是一頂蘋果帽子!

其實這份禮物是給我同阿倫就真, 因為芥蘭一點也不喜歡耶!!!

爭扎中......

扮可憐......我係女仔......所以怕醜是好合理的事

後面的兔仔朋友都笑我....我唯有睇電視啦

我係日本小偷, 係時候出動了.....下次見!

香港真的很美

昨晚跟CICI/JEFFREY/奶奶/阿倫即興上飛鵝山的山頂影夜景, 由於天色非常清, 連對岸的IFC / 中銀大廈等都盡入眼簾. 幻彩fing香江的laser更射到我們的山坡上, 差d盲左......
P.S. 四支腳架也是第一次見面. 下次就會係影日出的時候

Beautifully imperfect

Forwarded by my sister, this TV commercial from Singapore was pretty touching.
All it wants to tell is that our partners are IMPERFECT, but they are still lovable. Please treasure your partner at all times.
I have read one book in the old days, everyone is advised to think of why you loved your partners every morning when you wake up. Do think of the good things, which will make your marrage happier and sweeter.

Creativity matters

My ex-boss always said “Think out of the box” and “say things in a new way”. Since then, I have realized the importance of creativity which is a key to success in many circumstances. The idea of creativity is being captured in today’s creativity session at work which I found extremely useful and inspirational. We tend to think in our own way (without our control), our brain has its own filing system as we grow up. However, the down side of this filing system is the restriction of our thinking, and this is what they called “Rivers of Thinking”. People will think according to their perceptions as time goes by. What we need to do is to find out a NEW way of thinking from time to time and not to follow the “rivers”.
There are two practical ways to be more creative when we do our brainstorming session:
1) Re-expression by words / pictures / emotions

2) Related Worlds – see the things / people that are related to the client’s objective.

I enjoyed the session so much because our regional EVP has related Picasso, one of the greatest artists in the world, in this training session. In fact, Picasso is a brilliant example of creativity as he introduced new stimulus into his arts work.

One month to go!
