What's my plan?
I have no plan.. But I miss my colleagues in Madagascar. 8 of them in all. Need to write
them super long emails to them.
Just a coincidence.. my aunt and uncle are taking the same flight on next saturday so we'll
have company.
Yesterday did not do much. Walked with my Mauritian friend along the streets of Rose-Hill,
met another old time schoolfriend for a while. Walked and walked until I was sure I was
slimmer by 1/2 kg. I have not been doing exercise lately. So going to catch up a bit.
Today gonna spend time at home a little bit. Then go climb mountain.
Godma, remember I bought 2 bossini t-shirts and a jeans haha to get a bossini VIP card and
also because people tend to say I wear old and simple clothes. Well, in the end I never
wore them in Madagascar. So I gave the nice graduation looking T-shirt to bro-in-law and
the otehr one gonna give to someone I know. After all my t-shirts in singapore are only
around 4 years old. But slowly maybe I will phase some out. The white ones should be
yellow-coloured already. I somehow knew I was not going to wear them. They look too new for
me.
My dad wears tommyboy perfume to go out. Haha.. Was supposed to me mine but I am just too
simple. So far my only big expenditure is to invite friends for breakfast, lunch & dinner.
- Going to one of my company subsidiaries in Mauritius to pay them a visit. The trick is to always know your opponent. I'm going to see how they work for Mauritian TradeNet.

In Mauritius
In Mauritius ..
What can I say.. Trying to maximise the time I have here.I took the plane with 0 cash in my wallet.. that was the target.
At the Mauritius immigration I had a good laugh with the immigration agent. .. I stated my birthday as dd mm 2007. haha.. He told me .. you coming out of mommy in 8 days
time. I am still "dans les couilles de mon pere" as stated by H. But it's definitely better
than not remembering my home phone number of last time.
Life in Mauritius is a "sweet fantasy" .. I do miss the Madagascar cows.. French languge is
always better.. You say milk a baby.. and also milk a cow. So that made me say " allaiter
une vache" .. i.e. breastfeed a cow..haha.. I love old buildings.
That's why my room in Singapore . the walls are greyish white. When people ask me to paint
my room before moving in.. I simply say no. I like the old 40 year old non-painted room
feel.
Let me enjoy my sweet fantasy!Nah.. have tons of crap to catch up with.. make costume.. change credit card.. etc etc
etc.. read french books. Yesterday I did a lot of thngs yesterday. I did a haircut. .. took measures for a new
costume.. The current one has become small. .. well it's a 6.5 years old costume.Life in Mauritius is expensive these days. Bought a book by author Lee Child called Echo
Burning.
What's left to do .. do blood tests, then also.. go visit the new republic of Thieves - my
homecountry. I'm waiting for labour to become cheap enough in Mauritius to come in MNS the
mauritian subsidiary and trust me I will put some rules to those lazy mauritians. Basicly
it will be working hours from 8:00 a.m to 6:00 p.m. Want to earn some good money? Well..
produce results first. the cost in India is rising too much. Manpower is the most expensive
thing ever produced.. Basicly I simply need their brain to be connected.
No wonder the tart lady was so pissed off when I kept pushing her to provide package deals
for her tarts. I can be pushy when dealing with people. Defend my company in some ways.
I went church yesterday big church called "L'eglise Cathedrale". Zzzeinnn.... the very
noisy church as they are doing the renovations. My jean became authentic jeans.. the wook
powder made patterns on the jeans. Stayed there around 15 min. Pay a small visit to
"Emmanuel" according to the old testament or to the Malagasy "Jessoa Kristy"
Gonna go out a little bit today. Ohh.. btw Life in singapore. I have breakfast to do lists, before sleep to do list in sg. . sometimes the brain can be
so f*cked up that all I do is tick to do lists. When I was in the plane.. I can imagine a
family with 3 kids. "Cabin crew please check the doors" before going to sleep. If you do
not have checklists with kids.. who knows.. it's like you pouring boiling water on them.
esp in sg where everything is so rushed. So maximise time.

Who ate the clock?
Well my colleague woke up every 2 or 3 hours..
H. says that colleague ate a clock that rings every 2 hours.
I have the impression that I'm going to swallow a clock soon.
the program has bugs.. gonna be very busy soon. To detect all the bugs .. Preparing myself to swallow a clock.. haha
It's a contagious disease.

The canadian guy
When I was in singapore there was a canadian guy sitting at the table next to where I was sitting. I was waiting for K. to come back to start late lunch.
The 75 year old guy introduced himself to me.. I was busy quietly reading my book. He told me how he married his wife.. who is now 50 years old.
And his precious words were "Always smile.. no matter what happens. Look at me. I'm 75 and still smiling. You're only young so there's plenty of time to smile."
Their son was doing a phd in singapore university. And they came to meet the future singaporean daughter-in-law.
Some of my weird encounters...

JIM & PANDORA
JIM is an expensive chinese restaurant. We, i.e. my colleagues and I, had a nice dinner. The food is very similar to the Mauritius chinese restaurants.
It was my treat for the dinner. Starting to spend my money for the holidays as the time has finally come for me to go home. The best way is to spend money with friends. We were 7 in all.
We ordered 7 dishes. The cost per dish is around $12 USD which in MG terms is expensive.
They have a band playing old french songs, and malagasy songs and thy had one song of sega.
So the few of us left went on the dancefloor. Though, I hate to attract attention, but had no choice this time. I was the 1.84 cm chinese guy dancing with 4 malagasy people of average height 1m60. Quite noticeable isn't it? And we were the only group on the dancefloor..
Well .. WE DUN'T CARE!!
So after having ordered 8 bottles of beer. Nah.. I take only one bottle at most.
Then we went to a discotheque called PANDORA. It was a great nightlife. Only 2 chinese in the discotheque...including me.. 50% of the crowd, french people. The music is always much better than in SG as they play french remix.. e.g. Hotel room by Lord Kossity, and other hip hop French songs.. then moved to techno etc.. Hmm can I get a PR in Madagascar? We'll see.
We danced until around 2:00 a.m as one of our colleagues was sleeping mummy.
Then comes the story where I get arrested by the Police, riffle in hand of our dear drunken policeman, on the way back to the hotel. Why? For not carrying my papers.
Had to got the police station etc.. wahaha .. WTF.. tell you more later! :)
So todya my day is screwed. But I was even more screwed when part of the presentation to customs GM did not work. The big boss was looking at me with big eyes.
Time to head office for a while.

moving on
At exactly 2 weeks to 25, yup born in 1982..
Time to do a quick status of things:
- Going 25 and stuck in Madagascar until next week. Tomorrow have a major presentation
- Have a health insurance to handle
- Have another small savings plan
- Just moved on from an 8 year childhood or rather adoslescent love
- Starting to see the wrinkles around the eyes.
- For once starting to think about future. What kind of progression to make? Let's JUMP!!!
I guess now is the time more than never to enrich, be humble, party, and see where destiny leads me.
The best way to start is.. by sleeping early..
Nites.
