I attended Sandy’s birthday celebration last week at “The Ampang Lookout Point”. I was having sorethroat but reluctantly I joined the dinner. It has been quite awhile since the last catch up with my coursemates.
The drive up to the place was so dark & steep. It was a nice breeze and the night view was calming but too bad I didn’t enjoy the dinner. It turned out to be 11 of us, as I thought it will be just 6 of us. There are friend’s friends joining us for the celebration.
I felt like a black sheep. I’m surrounded by the bankers & insurance agents! I bet you can guess the topics that they talk, which I have no interest at all. Some boasted on the A-Class HQ office of CIMB, which is well equip with high class gym & lobby. Some HLA trying to explore business opportunity by introducing the latest saving plans, some UOB shared about their sales figures & some HLB boasted how many places they have travelled.
I hate it when comes to exchange namecards on a casual meet out. Where is the main theme for tonight I wondered. Half of the table went into silence (my side, the place that I sat) when I told them I’m not from the banking line. All the while they were busy talking about their topic, and I sat quietly observing them. I felt that everyone is so fake. Probably I felt left out. Although the main intention is to gather cum celebration but each of them came with an intention.
