Big Deal?
Yes. After the nasty meeting, between the two of us, we had four cups of cappucino for RM72.00. Too expensive for the current economy. However, we need the ambience and the caffeine. This time round, I am so pleased I was totally cool and did not loose my head. It is a great improvement. We used to head straight for the nearest water-hole and had at least a pint, literally waiting for the 'quai-loo liong char' (beer) to cool us down, reflecting, before we even say anything of subtance to one another. That's how big a deal our meetings were!
No! because life goes on under the sun. It is not a big deal any more. I think I am more 'settled'. Have decided and told the boss - 2011 is the dateline. After that, no more corporate stuff. Enough is enough! Need to take a different drift in life.
... such as sitting under the coconut tree ... in some small kampung!
What a wonderful thought!
Of course, my peers were shocked. Mum, pratical as usual is worried; how and what you are going to live on? In reality, we really need so little to live on. What are you going to do? There's so much still to be done. There's the South American continent, the Africa Safari and the North and South Pole! What about the glamour and power(?). Well, I think I will miss it. But we will leave it to the Hee's and the Puteri's, shall we?
