In day time, I don't have too much work to do, not really busy. However, all of us are still worry on those bomb scare in Japan and Hong Kong office as well. We all still fall in working everyday, but it doesn't mean we are not worry. Though the bank has raise the security level to the top level and those seniors has further annoucement that they would make sure all the staff are save and feel comfortable here.....

As it's Mandy's birthday, we have a buffet dinner at the coffee shop of Furama Hotel. We chose this hotel because the hotel was just sold to other Group company and the hotel may be closed in November this year. The Group plans to build a new commerical building in the original locations. I apologize to Mandy as this time, I don't have enough time to select a best birthday gift for her. In the past years, I would send you the most fresh and beautiful flowers to her office together with a best birthday gift. This year, as she still on maternity leave and not yet backed to work. I did not arrange to send flowers to her office, so that we have buffet dinner tonight. What I prepared was only a gift of crystal. Just hope she like it.
