"Spring fortune” - theme of Tet Party 2015

The first days of January smoothly passed. People are rushing back home under glow of sunset. Only during this time of the year do we recognise how Tet is coming near - right at the corner of that wet market, kiosks are displaying Tet gifts and decorations, houses are changing their colours, and holiday music are playing at every shops along the road.
 
Every story, every poem, every song can be a precious memory, pinned with unforgettable memories. So is the song "Loc Xuan" (Spring Fortune). It reminds us of this day 3 years ago, when we first rehearsed our music performance.

To have 3 minutes shining on stage, we had to spend more than three weeks of preparation and practice. Every area - from the gym, the canteen, the hallway, to the tea room - became our practice room.

Looking at those faces and smiles, we decided to change our perspective. It is impossible for us to forget those days - practising hard after working time, no warm blankets, no gatherings with friends, only hunger, dry voice and sore throat.

It is impossible to forget those days when we practised so hard that we missed the last bus trip home. People often say that home is where peace is. So Khang Thanh must be our second home.

For us, Spring Fortune is nothing else but these brothers and sisters -  it connects us and gives us the word "Love".
 

“Spring is coming under the family home,
Let’s celebrate our love and precious brotherhood.”
 

Look back on a past event, reflect on what you have learned. Around the time of practicing music performace in Khang Thanh, we had our first times of experience.
 
First time participating a music performance.
First time singing in the tea room.
First time recognising our “boss” could accompany us even in this activity - he even hired a tea room for our auditions.
First time treating our colleagues as brothers.

What would you do if you were disconnected during a performance? As a natural reaction, we would be confused, look around expecting a miracle to happen; or wish there was a hole for us to jump into and avoid those eyes staring at us. But no. We would be brave, gently apologize the audience, and interact with the audience with jokes, erase the tension and encourage each other.

Thanks to these incidents, we’ve found that we are much more mature. We control our emotions, calmly accept new challenges.
 
All of these memories and emotions of our first times are invaluable experiences. "Spring Fortune" is probably just a very small part of life's journey, but is a colorful path. We are enojoying scent of the wind and the sun in the early spring. Spring buds are blooming in our hearts when we give each other the most beautiful things.
 

 
Three years have passed, and Khang Thanh Packaging Company has taken many strong steps. However, we are still thankful every first emotion and experience that shaped us today.

People are still rushing to prepare the new year coming. The sun is still shining. But here someone is smiling happily.
