Coffee Trap

I have been working already the past 8 months and have not blogged often enough. I used to blog like twice a week and to check my blog daily. I recalled my friend once teased suspecting me of having bloggerititus maniac virus. It was funny .. then I was really a blog maniac. These days my post are getting a little boring I know. I write alot about my dog. I made him posed for pictures. I took picture of my friend's feet for an article on polydactyly after some hard persuasion. Hardly have time to do sightseeing. I am not updated with any festivals. I probably should do an intro on mooncake in my next post. Yeah .. I think I should.

But before that, last few days, we had a great time at Coffee Trap. Dr Maurizio, our general manager threw a party and it was a fun night. Some pictures of my colleagues as shown below.

Polydactyly

Polydactyly, or polydactylism, also known as hyperdactyly, is the anatomical variant consisting of more than the usual number of digits on the hands and/or feet. It is a congenital abnormality, usually genetically inherited.

If recommended, the surgery is usually done while the child is about 1 year of age. Historically, polydactyly has in some areas been considered an indication of witchcraft.

And slowly falling into sleep. I could happily go out with friends and leaving him alone in my room.

After dinner, after I was back home, he was still sleeping. Weak dog. Need more exercise but maybe not too much.
