My Christmas Day

I decided to visit my friends in the morning instead of late evening. It was indeed a surprise for them. I reached my friend's residential area but I forgot the house number. So I called and in a short while I was at the gate. So I was welcomed with open arms. I just couldn't resist the scrumptious food for breakfast.

I tried all of them except mutton and the whitish gravy.
home-baked cookies for me to savor at home
a shot with my best friends' family

I had spent too much time that I quickly excused myself to visit my favorite customers. They have become my good friends.
lovely couple. 
Mrs Moorthy was my eldest girl's tuition teacher.


They invited me for dinner but I had to decline as the boss would be attending a dinner. I went back home to give my dog, Teddy a Christmas bath as I missed bathing him last Sunday. Then I quickly went to work. It was already 1pm.

as promised, my staff had gone out to buy two boxes of Domino's pizzas
Only four of us shared on the expenses.
I just ate a small piece.
It could be considered my lunch.

What's waiting for me at Chang Jiang?

.......

At 4pm, I was hungry as usual. But I decided not to go back home for dinner. I quickly grabbed a muffin. A while later, the boss wanted to buy this. I couldn't say 'No'..
I enjoyed it and I was not hungry at all till we closed shop. The boss was going to attend a dinner so he bought a packet of claypot rice for me. But I was too busy and hardly find time to eat. I took home and just savored half of it.

Business was as usual but what was the most saleable item during Christmas?

Happy Boxing day!

    Most saleable? Brands essence of chicken? Many people buy this for gifts regardless of any occasions as they are "tai fong" and good for health..

      business is always better before a festive day..so christmas day's business was as usual except for my hampers sales.

      I was doing the hampers non-stop. In the morning when I was not around, my people did the hampers. They were sold like hot cakes!

      I had to visit my friends earlier. Otherwise, I would be very busy once I stepped into the shop.
      yes, soft drinks were sold rapidly but that's normal. My hampers were the most saleable on that day!

    I do miss all those years when I had non stop invitations to open houses during Hari Raya, Christmas and Deepavali in Penang. Since I moved to KL, the trend just stopped as I do not have so many good friends like you.

my Fitline car http://www.pm-international.com.my Health is one of our most valuable commodities - this is clearly indicated by the huge growth in the market for nutritional supplements during the last few years. Unfortunately, many products with low standards of quality have also been washed onto the market. How is it possible to separate the wheat from the chaff? One unmistakable criterium is certainly manufacture according to the international quality standard (GMP/ISO).This is not obligatory! However,only 5% of nutritional supplements are produced according to it - the FitLine® products are among them. Beyond this quality standard, we have developed our own standards t...
