Picking Up From Where We Left..

As mentioned, I went down to Singapore for a quick day trip to meet up a business associate. It was pretty tiring to go up and down like that but it was worth it.

Well, it was a good meeting nevertheless. For a meeting without much agenda, we had a very good talk for almost 2 1/2 hours straight, I never expected to be enjoying the talk and discussion but I did. He was like an old friend, though I have not seen him for the last 5 years but we were able to hit it off, I guess, that is life. I find him to be too nice and I am glad for a new nice person as an addition to my circle of friends.

After we were done with the formal meet up, I was able to meet up with two very old friends and my niece. All three of them made the effort to rush and meet me before I fly back, together with my business associate cum new friend.

Both friends, I have not seen for like, years and years and years. My guestimate, 15 years ago was the last time we met. And we were able to chat like old time, like, we were just together yesterday having coffee, never ceases to fascinate me. I guess, friendship forged when you were youngsters striving out in the real world, in the rat race world makes the friendship more able to withstand long period of inactivity.

The other topic that came out was, the both of them were also on weight losing mission. Is it the in thing? Or is it the age-catching up vanity thing? Or is it really the health issue? Can you imagine, a bunch of almost 40s, males, talking about weights and diets like a group of teenager girls? hahaha.

But honestly, I was surprised that even my friends felt the same obsession to lose weight, at approximately the same time. We probably caught some kind of dormant wavelength when we were working together and it was just triggered recently? I probably will need to check and call on a few others to see if they too are on diet and weight losing mission......Very Stephen King-ish, NOT...

As for my niece, she worked in Singapore and without realising it, it has been five years since she started working there. How time flies...I am glad that she is doing fine because she is one of the niece that practically, grew up under our watch, my sister and I. Of all my nieces and nephews, I guess, she is the closest to us all. Life is such that some how or rather, those who grew up together will inevitably stay close and understanding each other better. Strange is the way of nature.

Alright, I have to wake up early tomorrow, there is another treasure hunt and I need to sleep now. I am tired, one of the most tired day of my life but it is all worth it. I am happy and I will definitely sleep with sweet dreams tonight, most probably, or dreamless, for I really am tired. Ciao...
