HHW and his Mombelli


Here's a special plant. The story is that while I was working for Cathay Pacific, a passenger brought a plant in HK and wanted to bring it to another country ( i remember the flight was going to Bangkok). Anyway, you ain't suppose to bring plants or any things that's alive (except yourself la of course) to another country without prior permission ga ma. So I have to tell the passenger (Mr.Mombelli) that his plant got to stay! So that night I carry this plant out back into HK. but the custom gave me a really hard time that even for a staff you can't bring plants into HK. I told her that this plant is from HK ga wor. The price tag is still there la. She keep saying no and stuff so I told her "ok, then i will just leave it here law". The she was like "What! i have to clean up your garbage!!??" So she went to ask another department and said ok, i let u go this time but don't do it next time la! I'm thankful so this plant have been with me for a year now la. I named it Mombelli after his "parent". If Mr. Mombelli is reading my blog here's your message "La vostra pianta di Mr.Mombelli e benissimo." ( I copy this from altavista's translation program so I hope it means "Mr.Mombelli your plant is fine." la)
