Surprise visit from ex-colleague

 I had a surprise my ex-colleague was in Singapore and wanted to meet up.  She has really good survival skills.  The company we worked for first bought out her company.  Now the company has been sold to another company.  Through thick and thin and she outsurvived a nasty female boss from China most recently.  I am glad to hear her nasty boss was fired for doing unethical and probably illegal transactions in the company.

I am happy to catch up and update each other.  We chatted over Chinese dinner.  Now we no longer can eat lot.  So we had food from Chinese resturant in the hotel.  The food is pretty good and hotel guests have 40% discount.  So it is quite a good deal.  The resturant is not too busy.  I guess the resturant is not well known even though the food is good.  I think the price is pretty steep without the discount.

We ordered a bottle of Sake.  I drank a small cup.  I am no drinker, so I feel a little funny after drinking the alcohol.  I was a little worried driving back home.  However, I was used to driving when I was having jetlag.  So I just relax and drive the old man's way...careful and take it easy.

Before driving out, I remember the hotel has complimentary carpark.  So I went back to the concierge and manage to get a complimentary pass for the carpark.

We had a good evening.
