遇到的人

做生活记者可以遇到小小新加坡圈子的很多人，看见新鲜事。
这个星期，私生活很沉闷（期待周末的聚会）。但在工作上却遇到了一箩有趣的人和她们的故事。

遇见的人可以改变你的想法、有缘分还会成为谈论公事以外的私交/朋友，有机会的话还能帮助你的社交网络。遇到爱情上的哪一个人，还会改变你的一生！heeeheee, but the pple I met these days have nothing to do with 改变我的一生。

1.印度餐厅的Chinese女公关
　　星期一到一间摩登现代（食物和装潢）的道地印度餐厅，华族女公关告诉我，全公司除了老板和餐厅服务人员／厨师以外，其他的office staff都是华人，只有1名马来族同胞。我觉得amazing....就好像在华族餐厅，office staff都是其他种族一样，要如何了解出产的产品呢？
　　但这也显示了印族的包容性。饮食业也是跨越宗族的行业。Food is indeed an universal language.
　　　
2.Jean Danker
　　She may be just 28 years old, but she owns a half-a-million dollars condo (studio apt) and drives...*wow* This is success in the materialistic sense. Her house is nice, very comfy... gonna feature it in HOME page.
Upon leaving, I told Jean: "You are very inspiring, now I am calculating how much downpayment to pay for my own pad!" Yes, I hope to be a swinging n successful single, like her. ARGH, you have got to see her house..... almost like what I would have wanted mine! I want my own pad one day.

3.年轻的台湾妈妈
Yest met this lady 10 yrs my senior thru work, she came to deliver some food products. i have always enjoyed knowing Taiwanese. and she is the 4th Taiwanese lady I know who married Sg men. 我说我要嫁去台湾。She said, Sg men are better and less cheeky than TW men. But that makes TW men more interesting, ain't they and they can have a strong political stand, they have an opinion! anyway, bad men exists across all countries and races. Just a matter of luck.
The thing that striked me was, she is already worried who should her 6 and 4 yrs old pretty dottis marry. I told her, why dun u help me first and I will help u to worry abt them later? she said, someone had already 提亲 to her pretty 4 yrs old princess. 什么年代了，指腹为婚还真的存在呢！她担心的是，要嫁给有钱人好呢，还是自己选择。20年后的事情任谁都不知道。现在为儿女的将来做做梦还可以，做决定当然太早又荒谬！

4.年轻的Marcomm女生
　　我今天遇到比我年轻又成功的女生。她说改名后，她的运气一直就很好。我听了也嚷着想改名。我不是要求工作顺利，当然是求爱情啦。等太久叫人心慌。
但，真的改了名就会好？套一句MM Lee在ST的quote:"Sometimes it's better not to know."

5.传教的妈妈
　　Wore this black dress (which yzac thinks it is 风尘味太重) out today. At MRT waiting for train, this lady in 50s sitting besides me asked if I am Sporean. I am like: sheesh, is it my dressing? Is she thinking I look like chinese national again? *ill-confident* (disclaimer: not that it is a disgrace or stigma to look like chinese national, but I was afraid I look too heavily-made up or older than my age). She indeed dun tink I am from Singapore *faint* ok la, It must be the Ka--wa-ii fringe I cut on my own =)
We had the chance to sit tog on e train carriage and she told me about her religion which I am interested in as well. A chance encounter... and this same night, I met an old UNI fren whom I have not seen in 1 yr, and I requested to pay his church a visit this Sunday. I guess everything happens for a reason. Including 和这位女士的不期而遇。

6.翁清海
Vincent Ng had been my hunky idol since when I was 18... a good 8 yrs, and I have a monika of "清海嫂" coined by my colleagues... so funnie. After so many yrs, i finally got to meet him up close and personal today. No, I did not behave like a 小粉丝, I am very professional about it, just had a chat with him and manager Andy.
　　今天真是美好的一天。

　　On another note, saw MM Lee's quote on issue of longevity. and he has this to say: "Choose your mother and father carefully. What they give you, don't mistreat it." Sounds eugenics to me, if only I could choose my parents.................I would wanna be Audrey Hepburn's offspring. Children and longevity are god-sent gifts, indeed we have to treasure ourselves.
