Birthday cake sent by the brother, it's a heavy chocolate, according to her, this is her favorite flavor, to me, it's like chewing the chocolate, the only difference is its shape, anyway, I will send her a thank you note.

Wife told me some of our employee guessed the company trip to Okinawa wasn't a fair voting, and they though the farewell committe members tried to please executive and manipulate the voting result; another bad influence coming from the Presidencial Election Gun shot; I response to my wife that most of our employee take their fisrt job in our company, they never experiecne the lay off, demanding and mean management, cutting the warefare and losting the dignity in working place; no one know if we had any company trip when next execuive running the operation and no one knows is fhe HQ wish to shut down our business in Taiwan, they are too naive; yes, I know, I can't blame people who don't have such an experience to obtain the quality to appreciate, so, I am not upset, but to tell her how I tried to make they grouping in one trip and sacrifice myself without driver for one day; he don't even express his gratitude to me? never mind.
