There was this point during the NDR Dialogue session this evening when the Minister of State was commenting on immigration policy with regards to foreign talent and increased competition where he paused and said, "But wait - this doesn't apply to you; you don't have to compete anymore." How true.
It is a worrying trend - I've missed scheduled meetings with friends more in the past 3 weeks than I have in the rest of the year! I shall remind myself of these so that I break it:
1) missing lunch with the classmates on Sat 8 Aug
2) missing The Hangover with Team C
3) missing dinner with paul/daryl/chongwee/arjun this monday due to overtime work (I would have been terrible company)
4) missing District 9 and L4D with the classmates, see reason for 3)
5) missing dinner this evening with Daryl (since Mel couldn't join the two of us, I had dinner with Team C instead)
I bought a second item from Uniqlo. I wonder if a regular club-goer crew would be an interesting addition to my social circle. I've not kept in contact with my school "neighbours" who took the same school bus as I did to ACJS back in the day. We should have neighbourly gatherings or something, which I've never had 'cos I've never lived in the east (the church folk) or the west (the school ppl).
Reunion tomorrow. It seems only natural to capitalize and go out with friends before or after. I'm thinking of a late lunch with some, then dinner with some others. And finally have an entire Saturday morning to myself if I can wake up before afternoon arrives.
Good Morning.
