It feels good to be home. So after I met up for karaoke at Neway, (which I must admit was not too shabby and cheap at 50% discount plus the fact that they had pinyin for Japanese songs (not too many songs though)) we walked around 1U before going for Pancakes. Yum. Yum. Then it was to JinBear’s place for some mahjong while DinoBear packed. Then we sent him off to KL Central before proceeding to have dinner at Chillies Bangsar. Too bad DinoBear could not join us but RoxBear made good, finishing almost all of the Triple Play. Haha. Everyone was really full though. Then back for more Mahjong where we finished 3 rounds but shucks could not finish the 4th as I had to work the next day.

Work these 2 days has been sort of alright. Mainly just sorting out all the matters and getting prepared for normality again. Changing the photo of my access card, getting my raise settled, getting to know the new people, reporting my progress to mentor and buddy, setting up to prepare for CFA Level 2, getting to know what has changed, asking about bonus (hehe), as well as the most important part (gossip !!!). Gossip is very important in life as it helps you find out which way the wind is blowing. This will allow you to figure out what you want to do or achieve and what ways you should go about doing it ! Also helps you avoid boo-boos like inviting two warring people to dinner together or total strangers or something like that. Gossip is information and information is knowledge.

KNOWLEDGE = POWER.

Something I believe in. You can never have useless information and sooner or later it might be useful. It could be a trivia quiz, or a game show, or just showing off to friends or how you want to let others perceive you. But you can NEVER have too much information/knowledge. So gossip is important. So long as you are careful to listen and not talk. You do NOT want to be the person who spread the news about MrX’s scandal with his secretary. However you may want to trade this secret with someone else and let them spread it, at the same time gaining more valuable information. Guess why being a spy makes so much money ?

Anyway then on Wednesday had lunch at Heritage Row with JeanBear and then went with RoxBear, JinBear and RaeBear plus my younger sister to Cheras Taman Connaught at night. They have the longest pasar malam in Malaysia there ! I was NOT aware of this fact ! But when I go there, it was REALLY long. Really amazing. Though I will never go there again, it was quite an experience and I do want to suggest to people that this is quite an interesting touristy thing to enjoy. The LONGEST pasar malam in Malaysia. After walking though I was dead tired. So tired that any thought of joining PatBear and KenBear for futsal was thrown out of my head. I am still extremely tired from Shanghai and somehow quite sensitive to sunlight. My eyes must be very tired. Luckily I am on leave on Friday so my weekend will start tonight !!!!!

Received a few very special emails of thanks from people over in Shanghai. So sweet of them. You know they mean it when they say they miss you ! Haha. Sigh. So sweet. Especially when you know you HAVE helped them. It is really nice to think that you have made a difference to people. One of them wrote that I have brought sunlight into their grey life ! OMG…. Can you just picture me as a ray of sunlight ? Awww. They are just so sweet. But sometimes when you stand up for people who have no power they will always remember you. Even if you might be unsuccessful, at least they will remember that you have supported them, spoke up for them and help raise their issues to bigger powers. This is such a good thing. Now I think I can understand why some people can do charity just for the good feelings generated in themselves ! Although it has to be a charity that I really support and not just any old charity. MM. If I become a billionaire some day, I will definitely do charitable acts.

There, you see ! Another do-gooder made in this world. And suddenly the world does not seem so bad any more right ?
