ANNUAL COMPANY CHRISTMAS DINNER 1990

Each year in December, the company will organize a dinner for the about 20 staff. I worked for this company for 6 years.
Sometimes is buffle sometimes sit-down-dinners

The highlight of each annual Christmas Dinner was the lucky draw. The most fortunate year for me was 1991.

In 1991 I won the second prize of Sony Mini-Hi-Fi set during the Christmas Dinner. For years I longed for a CD prayer for some music relaxation at home but never have the spare money for one. So this costly Hi-Fi set was a great gift to me. In my WordStar digital diary I entered the excitement ".........this is a gift from Baha'u'llah......I must make good use of it...."

But life in Hong Kong was so hectic that by the time I left Hong Kong 2 years later, I hardly enjoyed some music from this HI-Fi set. The set is hardly used. And I have less then 10 CD in collection. One of it was a CD on traditional Lu-Dit instrument. And if I did enjoyed some music, this was the CD I played most often.

I never had any Hi-Fi sent since then though I always have a CD player. I wish to have another Hi-Fi set again for only a Hi-Fi can magnify the beauty of a good piece of music.

I spent 6.5 years in Hong Kong out of which 6 years working for this trade service company as a clerk. I am not a Chinese by nationality thought a descendent by ancestry.

There were not much photos of me in Hong Kong. There were not much recreation activities for photos either; life was just work, work, work and work.

1993 I gave the Hi-Fi set to my newly wed wife for her to sale away and with that extra money we bought a notebook computer to bring to Paraguay ... well that is another new story to tell.
