Sneaky Surprises!

How about starting your day with a surprise?
I found this at my seat underneath the desk.



Resisting the temptation to pry, I left it aside instead.
There is something fishy about it and I am indeed scared to open it infront of many eyes.
Frankly speaking, they won't let me off without a prank..

Somehow my curiosity battled over and when my bosses left for a meeting, I decided to open it. As what I had thought, it’s a trick rather than a treat!

Opening of the box

Left over tea bags from spice of life, sponsored by Joyce
40 pieces of mask, compliments from Ah Peng

2 boxes of first choice quality tissue from Joyce again.

沒有了﹐我的禮物在哪裡?
I toppled the box over looking for the tiniest suitable present and I can’t find it.
Actually this year like what I mentioned, I was more looking forward to having a great cozy lunch with some of my closest friends. And indeed, we feasted at Popeye and PS was cheering that this is the first time she has received a treat from me…which I must clarify a bit…Ahem…got treat before..Really!!! let me go recall where and when!! =)
Towards the end of the day, the group sprung up at my cubicle. Presented me my gift finally and when I opened it under 8 pairs of eyes, I felt stress!!!
I was stunned for a moment and I tried figuring out what is this thing that they presented to me, at the same time, making sure it wasn’t another disturb.

It was a golden rooster and after my self interpretation,
1) Rooster with one leg lifted and resting on a step signify advancement in my career
2) The Rooster head was facing backwards signify keeping a look out and preventing gossips as well as back stabbing
I googled and
In summary,

Rooster symbolize a strong, abled, confident and protective character

Because of its ability and strong character, it is often associated to be able to cure specific situations such as
1. bad energy caused by cubicles that look like centipede formation in an office
(Alot of bad energy, my fengshui plant from 8 stalk become 2 and now going to reduce to 1)
2. dissolving political problems in office because of its strong behaviour and influence to put things under control
(I will try tomo when the girls come up with some scary surprises!!!)
3. boosting recognition luck because the rooster is linked to the kingdom of winged creatures in charged by the fiery Phoenix.

Display the rooster in the following locations depending on your aspiration:
1. Rooster will help to solve political problems in office, backstabbing, arguments and harmful peers when placed on your office desk. For modern offices that have cubicles that resemble a centipede arrangement, place the rooster on the boss' desk to kill the centipede that causes quarrelling, havoc and irritation in office.
(This one confirm no...how can i put the rooster on my boss desk??? but thank god she has one herself, similar except she owns a silver rooster and i own a gold rooster! lol)
2. For businessmen, it is best to get a rooster facing outwards at the main entrance to ensure your competitors are kept at bay. The powerful rooster will help you counter attack their poisonous threat.
3 For those seeking for fame luck, you may place a proud rooster at the south corner of your living room or at your business premise to increase recognition luck.
(The south corner would be...ermm...in my FC room???? wahhh......so accurate but then again how am i suppose to place it in her room??)

I think i got to name all of them here to thank them for their thoughtfulness. I love this gift here but it came a sudden surprise to me and it was kind of funny that everyone shared the gift but end up with different interpretation of what it symbolizes in fengshui.
The few explanations
1)May you find your love ones
2)prosperity and career advancement
3)against "Xiao Ren"
4)because my zodiac was rooster?????
Haha...it was funny and i was left even more in "......" when joyce suddenly mentioned that how can i outshine my boss with a golden rooster when she is holding a silver one. But the problem is, it wasn't my purchase or choice. Rubbish and crappy lei this girl!
Thanks to Shan, Fion, Ah sSie, Ah Peng, Ah yuan, Ms Long, ChrisLing, Joshua and the missing Gene....for your thoughtfulness and appreciate the effort in putting these small little surprise.
I am glad that on a day like this, there is someone at least who remembers it and i was even more bless to have this small celebration w you boy and girls!
Rest assured, i will give you something even MORE "Memorable" on ur bday!! hahahaha....10 times more disturbances!
P.S..
Thanks Mr buddy Ah Zhan for the nice lunch treat at crystal jade!!!
Thanks Xin and Li for the nice dinner treaties as well!!!
