Joanna Wong — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 16:00:13 +0000

Christmas is always a time for Party and making good excuses to meet new and old friends!

Here to say hi to all new friends I have met today, and great to meet my dear old friends, quite a lot of you have changed your job and environment, but still, the I.T. world is so small that we could always meet each other… even I met an old schoolmate that we have not met each other for over 10 years!

Congratulations to all who has got a prize from the lucky draw! The Slingbox, Kinect, BlackBerry 9860… Wow! Will I be the lucky one next year? =)
