I have a few questions for you first of all. Do you like chocolate? Or does it go deeper than that? Do you love chocolate are you what is called a chocoholic? And lastly, was that attitude formed by store-bought chocolate such as Mars Bars, Galaxy and Snickers?

One day you will try gourmet chocolate and it will bowl you over. It will make you regret all those days of your life that you had not known it.

Let’s Think and Buy a Great Father’s Day Gift.

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

Father’s Day is the third Sunday of June. Because of Father’s Day, we have more chances to give our father a big gift and our love. Have you booked a high-class restaurant and ready to but him a gift?

However, in Hong Kong, many people pay less attention at Father’s Day than Mother’s Day. Flowers, chocolate and jewels are promoted and sold with discount in Mother’s Day. Poor dad, there are also no public functions for you.

I believe that how we treat our parents are related to our relationship. We usually have a closer relationship with mother than father. Since father needs to work and gains a high salary, we seldom have enough chances to talk and play with our fathers.

Although we are now talking about equality in man and woman, father is still usually the one who work twenty-four seven. However, we seldom remember to prepare a Father’s Day gift. May be we should start to do it now.

Is a tie, a shirt or even a shaver a good present for your dad? I believe they are too ordinary and they cannot show your love. Just bring him a more creative surprise. Besides, we should talk with him and try to share his pains.
