hari raya open house

reached the open house at 7 plus, there was a jam on the way there and of course we left office late.
actually, house open to only selected people only, not many people i work with were there. i went well with the chairman ( he has no idea who i am ) and it went well, until......the chairman's wife came to sit at the table where i was sitting to do some small talk. as i did not wish her 'selamat hari raya' earlier, i did it now, and by the look on her face you can tell she was going like....i don't know this guy, who invited him in. so i introduces myself and her face lite up. she went Ooooo so you're the mysterious chief...... i've been hearing your name, now i can put a face to it. (aisay, kena tangkap already).
met an old colleague there who've just finished directing a very expensive film and, he sort of brought up how he used to haunt me during he old days, so the chairman's wife said ' and he's still doing it to you now, chief, you've got bad karma.' she could be right except i don't believe in it.

better still,
i went in my friend's BRAND NEW BEAMER ! i'm her 1st passenger !
it's both good and bad.
good - the smell a new car with leather interior, brings back good memories of when my own car was new....and the feeling of joy mixed with fear with pride and all freshness......sort of makes me young again
here comes the bad - she's not used to the car yet, plus of course her bad habit of driving a not so loved car which she have not kicked yet makes you really want to help her with the brakes and steering wheels. i only manage to calm myself co i know how many air bags the car has.
i'm very happy for her. she's been on this subject for quite some time now and had at 1st wanted to buy a CC which i think is both too expensive and not practical.

sniffffff. trying to remember the smell again.........

have a good weekend.
