Gong Xi Fa Cai

I was on CNY outing on 2nd day while Dominic called me all the way from Ghana to greet me 'Gong Xi Fa Cai'. Yes, he literally said 恭喜发财!

Well, I am completely touched by his small gesture. After these while, Dominic still called me occasionally to wish me well. I think what I have done and how I treated him while in Ghana had now yielded good fruit.

This made me ponder upon people around me recently and for what I have done in good faith to them, I have yet to see their sense of acknowledgement (not expecting any kind of reward or alike though). One occasion was that I have helped a 'tau-kay' to revamp his 'China-man' style organisation but was forced to leave half way through my effort because of the overwhelming influence of 'tau-kau-neo', what I got from the couple was I am trying to lure the staff away. Another occasion was my long time friend's appetite for power and control had prompted me to part company with him after a short spell of business venture and I am not quite sure we are still friends as of the day of our 'divorce'.

Anyway, 2012 has come and now CNY is here; no more excuse and procrastination. The challenge lies ahead for me to tackle and just like everyone else is hoping: may the Year of the Dragon bring forth prosperity and wellness. I wish those who have been kind to me and still consider me as true friend a successful 2012, let's greet each other again in good faith and spirit next year.

As for Dominic, I certainly look forward to his 'Gong Xi Fa Cai' greeting next year. God bless you always, Dominic.
