Friday's lunch date

I have been very busy lately. Nonetheless, I had been very lazy and tired these couple of days too. I cannot seem to find the reasons, nor any solutions; just gotta get more rest I guess. The rain has finally cleared the skies. When I looked up at the sky this morning on the way to my yoga class, I can feel the sense of relieve, and happiness since the haze has finally disappeared. It was pretty bad last week; the skies seem cloudy but it feels hot and hazy. As for the air, the breeze felt extremely polluted. I could feel the dryness in my throat on Friday evening; especially after inhaling those unhealthy air throughout the entire day out.

I met up with KEM for lunch last Friday. It's been such a long long while since we met up for lunch. As we remembered correctly, the last time we had lunch together was back in year 2005 at a Japanese restaurant (Suntory ??) in PJ Hilton Hotel. Wow! 4 years ago! We used to eat together a lot when I was working in HLB, and when he was with OCBC. Those days, we were still young, single, and we have just started our working life in the corporate world. We were all juniors of the banking industry. Things had changed tremendously over these past years, and I hope they are indeed for the better.

KEM hadn't changed much, I think. At least from the way he spoke, and bring about himself. I always feel that he behave and act differently whenever there is only the two of us, compared to when we are in a bigger group; or even with our spouses. I cannot exactly tell the reasons, but I can indeed feel the differences deep in my inner self.

I remembered back in Sydney, he visited me once; flying all the way from Perth. It was Easter year 1997. He arrived down at my apartment with a cab on one early cold autumn morning. Took a short rest in my room, then we went off to this park where they held the annual Easter Day shows. It was really good, and we had lotsa fun. Those were the uni days, our carefree days. I guess he remembered much of his adventures during his trip to Sydney, including the "Fillet O'Fish" before our dinner at Planet Hollywood, the Bondi Beach during cold winter month, shopping at The Rocks, Paddy's Market, monorails ride etc. etc. These are simply some nice memories... and I am leaving for Sydney end of next month to rekindle these nostalgia.

A visit to KPF's place was good since I feel so sorry for not contacting her during months of April & May, in which I cannot explain the reasons "why". Off course, Zi Han never failed to shower you with so much fun and laughter. She is one beautiful and gifted child.
