My Living Room

Every family has a living room where a place for the purpose of family activities and receiving customers. Basically the style of living room reflects the host’s characters; the style can be classified into several types, such as modern, resplendent, classic and plain. My living room is designed as the kind of plain.

My living room is about 10 pings large; the walls are painted in rose-white which color is lightly pink. In the center, a set of dark green sofa for 6 persons are setting there. No matter sitting on or lean against the sofa release from the stress. Next to the sofa, a big window is aside. No curtains on window, more sunlight can be cast into the house. In front of the sofa, a wooden wine cabinet is standing against call near the door gate. Instead of wine self, we put some children’s awards and artist work for decorations. Next to the wooden cabinet, there is enough space for our exercises. For instance, we can play hula hoop, rope skipping, or flying jump.

I do not like my living room because its spacious. I like it as a good place for my family gathering..

My Daughters

I have two daughters, Maggie and Connie, Maggie is elder sister in 10 and Connie is in 8. They have great differences in appearances, favorite foods, and dress styles.

Maggie looks chubby and has a round face, yet Connie looks thin and has an oval face. Maggie has slender eyes; on the other hand, Connie has big bright eyes. Maggie likes to eat the food made of by flour; for example, noodles and breads. On the other hand, Connie likes to eat rice food; such as rice dumpling. Unlike Maggie’s dress in lady, Connie usually dresses in sport. The dressing color for Maggie is also different from the dressing color for Connie. Maggie likes the color in pink; however, Connie likes the color in blue.

Even though my two girls are almost the same age, they are totally different. No matter what the contrasting is, both of them are great in my mind.

A Strange Interview

I had a strange experience at interview for applying a position of sales assistance at a small size company many years ago. I brought my resume and arrived at the company in early morning that day. The office clerk escorted me into an office where a woman was sitting on a sofa and smiling at me.

First, she asked some questions about my family. Then she put emphasis on my private information, she asked for my lunar birth date and time. She wanted to make “Chinese Star Fortunes” to me in order to make sure that I was suitable for this company. It was surprising me by her question; however, for curious reason I gave my details to her.

She started to tell my fortune by reading the start chart; such as what ege I would get married, what my husband would look like, what character I was and so on. Honestly speaking, I did not put her words as seriously, for I have many times before but nothing were hitting. Importantly, she hired my anyway. Magically, I got married few years later at the age she said and my husband’s looked like what she described then.

After that, I have never met this kind of strange experience anymore for the interviews.

The Meeting with India's Customer Today

Today I received two customers coming from India where a country is located next to China. At the beginning, I was afraid that there might be a communication problem, for I am unfamiliar with their culture.

I was driving them to my company after picking them up at the airport. I was trying to understand more about their background and culture by asking a number of questions, yet their response to me was not involved enough in our conversation.

They seemed very happy with our products after a factory tour. On the way for dinner, they started to chat about their religion. They are Jainism that developing in ancient India; they are vegetarians for several generations. They make their family name same as their religion “Jain”, and their main principle is not killing every living beings. The Jainism is about 19% in their population.


It was around 10:30 to send them back to hotel, and they were appreciating our kind receiving. It was a great meeting today.

Lottery

If I won a lottery, a big prize, I would divide it into 3 portions. First portion, I would make investments. I would prefer buying real estate to stocks or mutual fund. Second portion, I would donate my money to charity. The proverb saying “Enough is as good as feast”; so I would share with people in luck. The last portion, I would save it for a rainy day because sometimes unexpected things would happen. “Every dog has his day”; good luck.

A Chinese Poem Translated into English Version

我存在 因為歌 因為愛 作者: 鄧禹平

離開你, 走近你
當我需要想你, 念你; 我就離開你和你分別
因為; 親愛的, 只有在思念你的時侯, 才是我心靈最美的時刻
當我需要看你, 聽你; 我就走近你和你相聚
因為; 親愛的, 只有在握著你的時侯, 才是我心靈最真的時刻

(Translation in words by words only)
When I need to miss you and think of you; I will leave behind you
Dear, it is the most beautiful moment when I think of you
When I need to see you and hear your voice; I will get close and be with you
Dear, it is the most truly moment when I handed you

(OR..)
In order to remind me of your sight, I must leave behind you
In order to see and hear of you, I must walk into you
My love, It is the wonderful time in my heart when thinking of you
My love, It is the right time in my heart when handing with you

(Translation in meaning)
Leaving behind you is no more than remember a sight of you
The fantastic moment in my heart much lie in thinking of you
Staying with you is no more than experience your exist
The honest moment in my heart much lie in handing you
My dear ~

Love Letter

It was late at night. The peacefulness lay much more in happiness in my mind than in silence at street. The moon cast some dim light on blue curtain, and the winds breezed the skirt of curtain. Even though I was tired, I would rather stare at your face than fall asleep.

My dear, a number of wrinkles spread out obviously on your forehead and your eyes; you were getting much older than it should be within the ten years. The more wrinkles had, the more efforts you did for our family.

Our family is always a prior obligation to your life. You were always coming home for dinner no matter how busy you were, and you never left behind us to attend any business party or tourist. You were always checking on children’s homework when I was coming late; and you were always worrying about the family expense alone. If we were sad then you did, you are a good husband and a good father.

I am so lucky as to have your love to me and to the family. Kissed you on the check to say good night; my love.
