Cream and Fudge Factory in India

A week before, I past by a shop called Cream and Fudge factory which I found only in Malaysia and Thailand.
With the chance of store & competitor visit with my CM - Shameem today, we went there to have the ice-cream as my lunch. This is their first shop in India.
Surprisingly, the price is soooooo reasonable. Rs 118 = 23HKD. According to my memory, it should cost about 30HKD or above in other countries. So nice to experience that the standard of the quality and the service is the same as other countries.
I have taken the chocolate scoop + banana scoop + M&M chocolate + walnut in a freshly made cone!!!! Yummy~~~
This is the first time for Shameem to taste this kind of 'ice-cream factory'. He is going to bring his family to taste also!!!
During our chatting, I know that his marriage was engaged by their parents.
He and his wife first had a look of each other's photos. As they both like each other, their parent started to arrange marriage which took about 2 months . During these 2 months, they will visit each other at their homes to know more about each other. They will not go out to have dating as they are Muselim. However, Hindu will have dating outside like seeing movie, going to park etc.
It is very interesting to know all these!!!

Look back 2007 and expect 2008

Today, it is only 25.12.07. I already want to look back 2007 and expect in 2008.

First of all, let see what I said last year.
I have a lot of change in 2006.
This is mainly due to the move from HK to India for work. I changed my living city, my living place, my living style, my working position, my job responsibility. It is a big challenge for me to handle, adapt all of these changes. I want to work out my own style to enjoy the life, though it is not easy. It is an adventure period in my life to explore different things. In fact, I always fail to be success at the moment. There are a lot of areas that I have not encountered before. The most important is to learn from experience.

Comparatively, there is not much change in 2007.
I already get used to my living style, my job. Living here is boring, sticking to music and internet.
I think I did a good job in training up of my team, and I developed some new format of Fresh business e.g. having truck load of import fruits, different concessionaire counters etc., though I have not yet made great success in sales and margin. It is not an excuse, there are so many internal and external factors interfering the progress of the business.

I have a lot of new experience in 2006.
I took vocation to many places: Hokkaido, Osaka (2 times), New York, Wisconsin ( Del & Edith), Vancouver, India- north part. Including the intercity flights inside India for work and Bangkok business trip, going back to HK for vocation, I traveled by flight so frequently this year. First time, I took the business class from HK to New York; from Vancouver back to HK. I have my first own apartment, bedroom, computer room in India. I have my own team of staffs.

New experience in 2007
We opened the first Gourmet store, First Foodworld Superstore in India.
Meeting big big bosses , Ron Photo, Michael Kok
I traveled to Singapore, Osaka only this year.
For every simple task to be completed, we can never take it for granted in India. That is why I even more treasure the things and the persons around me.

Expect in 2007
I want to bravely face the failure, learn from it, adjusting the pressure on myself and my team in the mean while. Finally, I can make some big steps to move forward.
I want to get slim. Lack of exercise and eat without thinking of the portion is the key reason of my big belly & hip. I must control control and control
I want to have enough leisure time for aspiration : Learn Japanese by singing, watching VCD for total relax, reading books for refreshing my mind in business and life.
It would be a tough year in 2007. But I want be proud of myself if I really can follow my plan, my faith when I look back 2007 in 2008. Ganbatte!!!

Looking back to 2007 in the above
Being positive all the time when facing a lot of frustration is not that easy. It is a great lesson for my work and my life.
I developed the habit of doing simple exercise every morning which is useful to get my belly and hip slim a little bit.
I started to do more reading and studying language and the enthusiasm is getting stronger.
Life is very simple here, so I am able to develop habit more easily here.

Expect in 2008
According to the Fortune Telling for Horses, it may not be a good year for horses. Still life needs to go on, just hope the things would finally go fine. Like in India, I cannot control the whole world, but do my best and give myself better life as I can.
Future job is not yet confirm. Continually, I need to be brave to face these change and experience another page of my life. Whatever and Wherever I do in my future job, again, I should set up the target, set the steps to achieve them. I want to learn the very basic thing deeply. Work for excellence.
People reminds me that it is time for me to get life planning in a longer period, as well as the retirement. But I am still not yet prepared to plan these......
People say that keep fit is life commitment. So I need to continue to keep keep keep and control control control...
Good Habits should keep on and should not be defeated so easily in the coming colorful world.
Traveling and visiting my friends are still the section that I want to focus in the coming year. What is my next target place to go…may be the North part of Europe....

X'mas 2007 in India

Mr Yum has invited us to have X'mas dinner on 24.12.07. He even prepared X'mas gift for each of us despite he is so busy and so annoyed in work!!! Still he always care about others.
I also bought big star to them as X'mas gift. In India, people put lamp inside these big star and hang outside the house or tree.
Once we arrived home, we can't help opening our gifts from Mr Yum. See... our smiles are sooo big.
Another box that I am holding is the cookies from Del & Edith. They are so considerate. They always send their warm greeting to us. William also recieved their mail.

What is the card and light in the dark photo??? Can you recognize them?

Michael Kok Visit 19.12.07

Dinner with the Chairman of Dairy Farm??? Another interesting experience to work in India is that you will have so many chance to meet big big boss.
This time is the Chairman of Dairy Farm, Michael Kok, the first Asian to be promoted to this post.
After his store visit on that day, he invited us to have dinner in Leela Palace Hotel.

X'mas is coming, there is a very beautiful X'mas tree there...
Dear friends,
Merry Christmas!!

Thus, my blog is not update or either read yours blog frequently. Now, I am in Eric 's apartment to use the internet as he is in HK now :P
Hope to see you all soon~~

原來你什麼都不要

我知道這樣不好 也知道你的愛只能那麼少
我只有不停的要　要到你想逃
淚濕的枕頭晒乾就好 眼淚在你的心裡只是無理取鬧
以為在你身後　是我一輩子的驕傲
原來你什麼都不想要

我不要你的呵護　你的玫瑰 只要你好好久久愛我一遍
就算虛榮也好　貪心也好 哪個女人對愛不自私　不奢望
我不要你的承諾　不要你的永遠 只要你真真切切愛我一遍
就算虛榮也好　貪心也好 最怕你把沉默　當做對我的回答

仍想念你

竟想不到 每夜把哭泣當做一種思念
我在你心裡已是不再重要　相距漸遠　致電也使你生厭
竟想不到 態度太差太冷漠自私不斷
你令我相信是我太高要求　或者必須要分手
過去最美是我躺於你身邊　隨時日變作痛苦的勸勉　
當愛著你　失去自己　誰人話愛也要一種運氣

仍想念你　若沒結果我為何深愛著你　痛心的折磨　
在我心裡藏　愛你太奢侈應要放底你　
仍想念你　若是最真最深刻的愛被拋棄　寧願沒回憶　
完全地忘記　愛上過不應該去愛的你
