is it going to be a year of the ox?

well.. my mom came back home and showed me some interesting pictures...

Her company invited a Lion Dance Troupe to the office to bring some luck..

my mom kinda invited one of the lions over to her desk to bless it.. well.. still a common sight at big offices.. you just leave an ang bao and a pair of oranges.. they will dance around and give you a set of lucky numbers.. hahah .. a dancing jackpot machine

but definitely not this..
the lion dancers were dancing for awhile longer till the bugger found a swivel chair and was sat on it with his partner (not seen in this picture) pushing him around in the office.. like some toy train thingie that kids do.. lol.. wah lau.. shouldn't you be dancing about.. hahaha. bloody slacker..
