The Rich Are Misers

After joining my current company, one of the things I realised is that the generosity of a person is not directly proportionate to the person's wealth and status.
For the past one year, one of our super rich clients have been calling us almost every 3 months to ask if we have new products suitable for his schooling kids and that it will be great if we can send one of each product to his office. One of each product is only $14.90!
What is $14.90 compared to his yatches, bungalows, cars & holidays? Reminds me of the people who once drove their Mercs to collect free used textbooks meant for the needy.
Dear all, just a gentle reminder,
MISERY KILLS

Shangri-la's highlight


Snow ball fight with the Shangri-la village kids.

Jade Dragon Mountain - Lijiang, Yunnan


This is the far view of Jade Dragon Mountain...The snow on the mountain top is there all year round. Majestic!

苍山view from my hotel room (Dali, Yunnan)


This is the view of Cangshan from my hotel room in Dali. The most memorable part of Dali is the tour guide. She can't pronounce "g" & "h". So we remember her by the name of "Cansan".

World Heritage - Stone Forest


This is World Heritage, also one of the 7 wonders of the world, Stone Forest.


Caused by millions of years of erosion. Bring along your brain when you visit, caused good imagination is necessary...

难看的羽绒衣。。。



我本来是买红色的,妹妹的是粉红色的。后来发现红的太小了。。。最后我穿粉红的。





虽然难看,它还是把我抱得暖暖的。-3华摄氏度都没问题哦!

昆明,云南。。。


2月16日凌晨两点的飞机飞往昆明,云南。过了四小时,六点抵达目的地。昆明的天气是7华摄氏度。我们全家身上只有一件衬衫和外套。导游,小段对我们说的第一句话是:“请把保暖的衣服穿上,今天的天气特别冷”我的天啊!我和妹妹身上穿的衣服只能乃17华摄氏度。小段显出哭笑不得的脸。她心里一定是在笑我们这群不知死活的新加坡人。哈哈哈!


我们这一团只有我们一家五口。嘿嘿嘿!我们的private tour。终于在早上11点我和妹妹买了S$20的羽绒衣。难看的羽绒衣,但因为太冷了,顾不了好不好看了。
第一天太累了。逛到下午5点才到酒店。


接下来的日子,只会越来越冷。。。


照片:我们下飞机的第一份云南料理 - 米线。 是早上7点喔!
