Sometimes, doing things on a whim brings you great results

ET was back in Singapore. I was supposed to have met him for dinner today but on a whim, I decided to take half a day's leave and met him for lunch instead. I'm glad I did.

It's rare that we meet up given that 85% of the time he is out of the country. But I defintiely did not expect us to talk for more than 4 hours haha.

We sat at Vivocity's Marche all the while and saw people coming in for lunch, tea and early dinner too...lol. We touched on many things but mainly it was him giving me updates and sharing things with me especially since we didn't have a proper catch-up the last time round in April or May.
  1. How and why he wound his company up in China
  2. Recruitment in China and the young generation of workers in China
  3. The general culture and mindset over in China
  4. The culture and mindset in Myanmar
  5. His next move in his career
  6. My career
  7. My life in general
  8. His sister's death and how his parents are coping with it
  9. His relationship with his wife
  10. Common friends
  11. How we're a little late in the marriage, family, building a nest phase of life
  12. Police in China
  13. Some of my travels
  14. My current big project
  15. Perspectives and priorities in life
  16. Some buddhist concepts

I hope he fixes his relationship with his wife soon and I wish him all the very best for his next career endeavour!
