Secretaries Gathering 2014

6.2.14 - This CNY, Jodie suggested we meet up and last night 7 of us (Jodie, SL, GH, Adeline, Merchele, Charanjeet and me) had a sumptuous dinner at Dancing Fish in Bangsar. It was a delicious Indonesian cuisine that cost us $55 each. Well, all of us had a great time chit chatting over dinner. Wendy couldn't join us as yesterday was also 'yan yat' and she had to cook dinner for her family. It was everybody's birthday. I had a great birthday last night. I was not reluctant and lazy, in fact I look forward to meeting SL very much after so many years.  
Well, TH offered to drive me there and my friend, GH brought me home. I didn't even have to drive there, I felt pampered and it feels so good to be pampered by loved ones. I love my man.
Once I arrived, I bumped into Merchele. She was there earlier to meet up with Grace like me meeting up with SL. So, we parted briefly for our own agenda before meeting up with the rest. I met SL and it was a comfortable and pleasant one. She was a close friend of mine at Stamford and we shared many good moment together. She knew me well and most of my stories too. We spoke about our mutual friends, updated our lives and problems too. Well, She is now staying with her mom and auntie who is a weird old woman. She is a widow and they are kind to take her in. She wears clothes the other way round. She roams around travelling whole day alone most of the time. But she isn't harmful. By the way SL has ended her relationship with Alex, the Singaporean guy. After so many years together he still didn't want to commit himself, so she put a stop to it and she did it. Her dad passed away 2 years ago due to prostate cancer. It was when she wanted him badly to meet his dad in his hospital bed for the first time, probably the last too but he couldn't even meet this simple request. It was this final straw that snapped. She is still a manager at Hitachi after 17 years and has shifted office to UOA Bangsar. She is bored with her job and wish for some changes. She's still a happy go lucky gal and a tough one too. I only learnt from her that Cindy is actually her car pool mate who happen to respond to her advertisement. She isn't her friend and SL regretted at one time for having invited her to car pool as she found out that she isn't a nice girl. We talked about family, friends, guys like LCL, Goh BK and KC, etc.
Just to jot down the updates on my friends in case I forget and ask the same things again next year, hehehe. So, Adeline stays in Kota Damansara and has 2 kids, a boy and a girl aged 12 and 13 who are both studying at Chung Hwa. Michelle, I have already forgotten her details, oops! As for Charanjeet, she now works in Astro and she was the most talkative person last night. GH joined us much later about 7:30pm as she was held up the office. Luckily, she came as u depended on her transport home. So, we ended our session at about 10pm and our plan for next meeting at Adeline house where GH will make a demonstration with her ThermoMix. I really pity her actually. When we were in her car on our way home, she updated me with her lives. She is heavily in debts and she is splitting up with her husband. She sold her condo in Casa Mila and bought an apartment somewhere near Selayang High Court. Her intention is to move away from her husband. Her eldest son, Jackson is rebellious and now living away from her with her mother in law. She is working hard on her computer business and has less time for the Thermo Mix sale. Hmm, I pray that things will get better for her very soon.
