C. Guan Soo: Happy Chinese New Year

It's that season of the year again! :D

It's the one most important festival for Chinese all over the world! It's the Chinese New Year!

And I would like to take this opportunity to wish all my families, my love ones, my friends, my clients, my readers, my team members, my partners, and everyone, Chinese or non-Chinese, a very, very Happy Chinese New Year!

I've designed a simple new year e-card and I would like to share it with you:



"Gong Xi Fa Cai, Wan Shi Sheng Yi!"

Wish you a prosperous year, and may all events better than your expectation!

Let's look forward for a more fulfilling year ahead! :)


Smile always,

Sa-wad-di-krab! Hello!

Sa-wad-di-krab!

It means 'Hello' or 'How do you do?' in Thai language.

Well, on Sunday, 8 January 2006, I started attending a Thai class. Bob-ti-nueng - the first lesson.

Huh? Thai? Are you going to Thailand?

Well, as a matter of fact, I've been to Thailand 4 times since 2004 until now. Once in Bangkok, twice in Hadyaai, and once in Chao Mai Beach.

Here, this is one of those fine pictures I took in a trip to Bangkok, Ayuthia and Ratchatani, a distric at north east of Thai. This one is the Ancient Royal Palace in Ayuthia:



Each time I was there, I had to keep my mouth tightly shut! (Not something I can really keep up with because I like babbling away!) Luckily someone who can speak Chinese led us through the journey!

I don't speak Thai! That's why I'm learning it up!

Are you going to Thai soon?

No plan yet...maybe soon, maybe not at all. But, learning something and preparing yourself ahead is always a good thing.

That reminds me of many other things... like getting prepared long before you need them. Learning vital skills is one example.

Though you may not need them now, who knows you may need them in the future. I received an email from one of my teacher, who taught me about copywriting.

Oh, here's the picture of me and this teacher - Mr. Jo Han Mok:



He too, stressed that it is good to learn something in advance, and he stressed on the importance of writing good copies in the internet. I agreed 101% to that.

Never had I thought I can move into writing for others - and make a living out of that! Speaking of which, darn! I have works to do! Oops! Better be hurry.

I replied him, thanking him for his great teaching in his copywriting workshop recently.

That comes to another point which I'd like to share - be in gratitude to those who have contributed to your learning and growing!

And to those who had contribute to my learning and growing - all I can say one thing: "THANK YOU VERY MUCH!" or in Thai, Kwab-Kun Mag Krab!
