trying too hard....

So we have been meeting yearly...

So we see one another age physically .... develop idoisyncrasies... but there should be a limit... and yet one cannot but must hold one's silence...

First - dinner at this place which was owned by a few partners - some where at Kung U Fong, some where in Central. Don't even know the name of restuarants! Partners must have travelled aroung Asia. We had a fried fish, which was really cheap when we were young! Then we had a version of fishcake with salted fish! To finish we had kei-chee ice cream with some fruit which I do not know of. All in all we had something like 18 dishes; but such small portions so we were relatively full. It was not a big deal, at least to me, as I have tasted the original in its own country. The only memorable and mentionable is the pigeon smoked in a mixed variety of chinese tea, which was the most impressive.

But the sad thing is - trying to equate a wine with each dish! That was a bit sad! It would be very condescending if I say:-
one do not need to put on airs or adopt a fascade - to make sense of life or as an alternative to the pressures of the current life.

We just need to have a 'quiet confidence, resting in the Lord'.
Maybe I am the lucky one! Neither did I try to evangelise! Just a little prayer of thanks to my God!
