yeah....Things will only get better

Routine Day whereby everything seems to pass by just like that.

Clearing emails, answering phone calls. That's about it. No decisions need to be made, no meetings to attend. And yes, I almost fell asleep.

And as if someone heard my thoughts, H called.

" Can you come over?"

I can't say no. His office/showroom is in Bt Batok area. I better get the vehicle.

Spent almost 4-5 hours there. I don't wish to complain but yeah, prolonged meetings are a waste of time. H and partners are more interested in market shares with their eyes glued to the screen more than discussing anything.

When it ended at about 1945, I can safely say that nothing concrete was arrived at. Prof David Chan used to say" Is this all that you can muster since our last meeting? Nothing's been done at all."

Gave them a ride out. They seem more excited than anything. H didn't drive, he is still under a driving ban. He got 18 mths and a 2.8k fine for driving under the influence(DUI).

Although the day was boring, the night was very much exciting, to put it mildly.

Went down to HCB. Lip's around. Didn't do much except a quick chat. Vez was around too, too bad I didn't stay long enough to catch up with him. Seems like haven't had a decent conversation with him for quite some time. Better find some time soon.

Drove over to Wine Arcade with Jas. She's a regular there. Got a bottle of beaukett. Pleasant fruity taste, very easy to drink. The Chee Hong Kia came over to join us later. Well, I give credit when it's due. He walked all the way here. Great job man!

We were later joined by Dave, Daryl and Lip. Wonderful time there. Dave was extremely concerned that I don't have a glass too much. I didn't. In fact not more than one. You never fill up a wine glass completely. Hence yeah,nothing more than that. I was the "driver" you see. I understand the importance of not driving under the influence of alcohol. Dave had a friend that just passed away due to drunk driving/riding, hence he was terribly concerned. Very touched by his concern.

Lip was as usual, very loud and sprouting all sorts of nonsense. The rest were high and light sprited. The teachers are having their holidays! Great way for them to unwind. As usual, Jay was complaining about the same old bus incident.

But what's more important is that we haven't had such a wonderful time for a very long while. The simple pleasures of life, great wine , great company.
