Christmas Tree Story

Chang Jiang held a Christmas tree contest for the occasion and some customers had taken part. At the end of last year, I picked a winner..


Here's his story:



My unforgettable memorable Christmas Day was in year 2010. My wife and children asked for a Christmas tree. I refused to get one for them. I was alone at home when they went for holidays in Sarawak. I planned to surprise them by getting a Christmas tree. I decorated it with ornaments and lights. I also bought some gifts and placed it under the tree. When they came back home, they were very surprised to see the Christmas tree. My wife and children thanked me for the beautiful surprise. And I was very happy to see the joy and happiness on their faces.

 Congratulations!

    When he remembers how happy his wife and children were with the surprise he should not refuse to get a tree next time!

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..
