A big fat ang pow

Yesterday I prepared my staff and workers ang pow. Ready to give and take pictures of the lucky recipients..

the amount varies accordingly..

Lim left us and worked in KL for just a month. He came back with better prospect.

He's the only guy who was sporting enough to give the boss a big hug and a fat kiss.

Initially, I didn't thought of anything. I just gave them the ang pow and asked them to sign the voucher. The boss asked me if they had wished me "Gong Xi Fa Cai". I said, "No, probably they will say the next day before the shop closes for the new year."

The boss said it's a courtesy to say something. So I told all my people to say something to the boss and hug him. Well, of course the girls/ladies wouldn't do that. So I challenged Lim to do it and he DID it! You can have a look at our personal facebook here.

Gong Xi Fa Cai to all my staff and part-time workers!

    Haha, Lim is so sporting and the boss is so sporting too to accept his kiss and let you put the photo online. Gong Xi Fa Cai to you! May the year of the snake bring you lots of happiness, good health and prosperity.

    Courtesy to say something auspicious apart from thank you when they receive the angpow is it? I trust that they did say thank you when you gave them the angpows.

      depends on the span of working time for the staff whereas it depends on the performance for the part-time workers..

    It is always a good gesture to give staff angpow for the new year. My boss hardly gave us any.

    I always educated my girls to say auspicious greetings to everyone during CNY. The more we say, the more blesses we get.

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
