The new Miss Sunshine at the factory

It's been a while since I decided to spend some time at this factory... for passion, for family, or for reasons I don't even know. Honestly, if I let go of all family obligation on my shoulders, I'd never want to give up what I had and spend an extra day here. But here I am - not perfectly happy- and life goes on.

Yesterday I got a little surprise came up, and happy that I got a friend to share with, and I thought I should share with all my beloved friends and family too.

So this day we found our little factory dog gave birth to 4 babies yesterday!! It's a miracle coz she's only 2 years old, gets tied up every day because our people are scared she would run beyond the factory area and get stolen. Every winter, people steal dogs here and sell them.
I was very surprised how she got pregnant coz there was only her and 2 baby-baby puppies in the factory!! Apparently workers said there were some untied male dogs from neighbor factories
that would sneak in in the middle of the night to hang out with her. Doesn't it remind you of those cheesy romantic stories? So Romeo and Juliet-like.
I tried to visit her earlier today. She's now moved to somewhere with a shelter but still gets tied up. She's not the little protected one anymore, she's fierce and very protective now, holding her
babies very tight. Every time I walk closer, she would give me a cautious stare. Ah, I pity her and admire her. She's young yet so tough and strong.

Looking at her really cheers up my day. Thought I would share this thought with you guys.

New Year Resolution. 2011.

First Sunday Morning of 2011.

It's a little chilly, but I like to enjoy this fresh morning downstairs at the patio. It is still early, Civic Square becomes all mine... peaceful and quiet.

Got my new year resolution drafted. This year it has to be fun and big!

Chinese hot tailor-Dayang Trands

I remember one day at a business lunch, a Swedish client asked, "Is there any Chinese brand that is known and sold worldwide?" That took us a moment to recall, turned out none of us could think of any big international Chinese brands. It didn't catch me by surprise because China was good for her OEM manufacturing ability, just like all developing countries. Yet brands like Dayang Trands is showing the world that perhaps China is quickly stepping out from the OEM role.

Warren Buffett threw away all his other suits and only bought Dayang Trands, a Chinese brand from Dalian, now. "I think maybe Bill Gates and I should start a men's clothing store and sell the suits made by Madame Li," Buffett said. "I think we would be great salesmen because we love them so much."
