A "Fool" Print

In late afternoon, there was a heavy downpour. In fact, these few days were raining during the afternoon. Luckily for us, the rain stopped. We had a good reminiscence at XingCai's house, good food accompanying with great red wine. :)

This was the first time ever for Singapore's business schools came together and organized a party. The party was held at Mimolette bar/restaurant ( http://www.mimolette.com.sg/) , a location hardly accessible and not to think that it could be locating at the usual crowded central district.

The taxi driver had drove me through a dark narrow trail and circulating around the fairway horse tracks. At the entrance, i saw Stephane and her friend while most of the others had arrived. The floor area was not too big and most of the people were standing, drinking and chatting. Well, apart from there, i hardly imagined anyone could follow the rhythm of the music. We(Abt 15) stayed there for an hour before switching over to Tinhill Bistro Winebar(Bukit Timah Road).

The manager made an exception for us to delay the closing time. We had a chatty, humorous and memorable conversations exchanged before parting each other farewell at midnight

It was back to our class gathering. I was extremely late after interviewing over 20 job applicants at one go. It was madness!!

OK. Tonight, most of our topics tonight centralizing to the recent events, since some of them are from the financial sector (Banker, Accountant) and senior management. Things looked pretty gloomy. Apart from the bank failures, Eng Huat and Phua accounted that thousand of the factories in China and Europe were shutting down during their trips to global source for supply. Eng Huat cautioned that you had to be quick in China pick up the leftovers from the company once the bankrupt news were out. The Chinese were unscrupulous in doing the business. At one moment, things looked fine, and they disappeared on the next day. Europeans were more civilize in a way that they informed you first. Coincidentally, these correlated to the stories told by my friends and family - where they had immediately arranged movers to "snatch" the leftovers of a bankrupt company. Everywhere, now and there, people were worrying their "rice-bowl".

Lastly, the baton was finally passed to me to arrange to the next gathering at Jan/Feb 2009.
