Damian’s 28th Birthday – an intimate dinner at Eat Workshop. There was more bitching, gossiping and giggling about life & love than an episode of ‘Sex In The City’. It was hilarious. We enjoyed it so much. We ate so much good food – escargots, grill salmons, squid with salsa sauce, grill mango chickens, scallops with risotto, brownies with vanilla ice-cream toppings and tiramisu :)
Club 21 – M had a housewarming party yesterday; a lovely house in the new residential area in Section 7. The interiors were contemporary and elegant. I love the IKEA furnitures & the built-in cabinets and wardrobes; space was spacious, I love the colors in each room, they were so well-coordinated. M’s friends from school & college were there. Met a lot of pretty strangers but introductions went around quickly. I was also greeted by faces I knew well. Everyone looked so…grown up! I couldn’t help but look around and gawk at these familiar faces. It was so weird and good feeling inside at the same time. G looked so sophisticated, J looks changed, mature. Luckily no one was balding. Some put on weight. Some lost weight. They are same, but different :) Later on we made ourselves comfortable and gather around to watch the Malaysia-Singapore football match. It was heartbreaking that our country lose out on the penalties after drawing 1-1.
Work Tales – heard from Lucius that Boss is back at the Assunta Hospital again. The bleeding must have gotten worst because Boss is forbidden to go home until the health condition have been stabilized and Boss is only allow to be discharged in mid-Feb. Apparently further observation is required. Nonetheless, Boss being Boss, Boss is planning to make a comeback somewhere in April. Frankly speaking we really need Boss right now. Even though Lucius is the appointed caretaker but there are several zones that Lucius has no power of. Lucius’s voice has yet to reach a point where it is able to command.
We also had 2 farewell parties for our 2 top commanders. One will be heading to Pakistan and another will be holding a regional position in South-East Asia. It’s sad but they have to go anyway, they are expensive to maintain and the new management certainly do not require any of their services anymore. The British Armies have not put a foot wrong. I’ll be doing the same thing if I were in their position. I will come in fast, attack viciously and immediately establish my power & authority. All the M13 top post will be replaced by my own people. I will immediately bring in my own set of cultures, rules and procedures. Those who rebel will be executed. So my only plan is no plan. React and adapt accordingly. Objective: survival for as long as possible. Avoiding people. Avoiding involvement. Corporate takeover is nasty but it has been eye-opening & life-affirming :) I’m mentally, emotionally and physically prepared for any dramatic changes.
