Lunch with an Old Acquaintance

I had lunch at ABC Brickworks, char siew.  He paid for the meal.  I feel bad but I do not like to fight to pay. I am not old style.  Anyway, we had a long lunch and talk about old times.  He has a daughter in U of New South Wales in medicine.  Son in fashion merchanising.  His daughter is in the same school as another ex-colleague of mine.  I am lucky that my boy is in law.  So in a way, I did not lose face.  It is terrible to compare kid's achievements but such is life in a rat race society. 

I have invited him so that I can return his treat next time in a couple of months.  It is nice to just catch up with old times and learn about all the old colleagues.  Coffee shop talk with MD of a big company.
