Dates Memory

Around these day ate a lot of dates & nuts :-). Love Arabian dates and walnuts started from the American school bus to home in K.S.A. It was during Ramadan and my family told me for foreigners are not supposed to eat outside during the daytime.

It was after school, and the school bus driver gave us some dates, figs and nuts. I was inside the schoolbus and looking outside, without any attention, by accident just put the date into my mouth and ate.

When thinking about it, the date was already delicious eaten. This delightful memory always reminds me to buy dates back home whenever I see dates and walnuts nowadays.

For me, beautiful memory does come from environment.

Cape No.7

My friend introduced me to watch this movie Cape No.7.....portrayal of life in a small town. In the beginning 20 minutes the storyline was quite boring, but afterwards I feel the old postman and the young postman play their sentiment role very well in musical performances. This story shows the social structure vicissitude, historical elaboration and different thinking between two generations.

Also across the age, ethnicity, culture and language.Japaness actor Atari Kousuke's Japanese "Sore Zore Ni" is my favorite, and also Taiwanese Van Fan's song South of Border is nice!!

This cup is ginger ale with strawberry, mint and ginger, for celebrating my one-year dairy blog and photos.

Is your desk clean?

Weekend, give some green tea and coffee cookies, this is my most favorite lace and tea cup :-)

Is your desk clean? I read an article saying when you started working, you were bestowed with a clean, plain and pathetically boring desk,and that's just depressing, so decorate your desk by your favorite colors and put up some funny pictures with your necessary office accessories, and you will work fine.

Not really agree with this article. If my desk is covered by many things, I'd get depressed and not work well. If the article was suggested by the physician or specialist, I am really confused.

Everyday I prefer a paper, a pen, a big bottle of water, and a laptop on my desk, all else should stay inside the drawer and cabinet. My room should have a window enable me to see outside either rain or sunshine.

Perhaps one day when my character and mood change, I might turn my desk into a colorful desk.

What you are comes to you.

Monday again!! Little by little one walks far. I like this words " Work is about daily meaning as well as daily bread. For recognition as well as cash; for astonishment rather than torpor; in short, for a sort of life rather than a Monday through Friday sort of dying".

Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you, what you are comes to you. I learned the value of hard work by working hard. Cheerio dreamisz, work hard!!!

High tea

The first impression I got from high tea was from my mother, she loves afternoon tea! The one she loves the most locates in Hong Kong Peninsula Hotel. This picture was shot in my most favorite hotel in UAE.

A few years ago, because of my mother, the first place I went when I arrived Hong Kong was Peninsula Hotel.

In recent years, due to business trip, I tasted difference afternoon tea in defference countries, just the difference in atmosphere, our mind and mood.

Only up to now, I just realize how important a mother could affect her daughter.

Weekend is coming, mood comes from our open mind and thinking. Be a happy person over the weekend!

Kumquats

Autumn is my most favorite season. Without any special reason, just simply fond of it and enjoy the feeling of beginning winter.

5 months ago one of my colleagues said she would resign because she said the boss complained her; however, she stayed for another 5 months. Last week, she saw the boss has assigned a project to another colleague, she asked for leave 1 day with unhappiness, by coincidence, it was also her birthday, we still bought a cake for her. After 1 day, she said she would resign again.

Everybody in the company thought she just wanted to be in the spotlight. She favored the feeling when everybody asked her to stay. She said her owns land in her hometown, as well as got a new job though the salary is only half of the current here, she'd like to ask for 1 day leave and take a look in the new company. When she found nobody supported her nor being sweet to her, she was caught by her own words. Without any road to return, she reluctantly resigned.

Today, some colleagues said in fact she has no new job, she was just jealous about the new project handed over to another colleague.

I've been understood that work is a group work, not just one man show, and cannot occupy one thing with the dictatorship power.

This is one of my favorite plants and fruits for me. With a little bit of sour fruit and sweet peel. I remember when I was a kid, my grandmom would buy lots of Kumquat which symbolizes the fortune.

Today is Friday. Happy weekend.
