Out of sight, out of mind

Since I came back in July, I had written a few emails to Kobby while he just replied on a couple occasions. He asked me to forgive him for not replying promptly. The last mail from him was actually two months back and it is again "all quiet on the western front".

My friend said: "This is all but REN ZO CHA LIANG." Meaning when a person has left, the tea served to him became cold.

Mat's new car?

I saw Mat posted this picture as his Facebook profile picture, so I jokingly said this is his new car. Shukhen was sharp to point out the picture was taken in 2009 so it could not be the case. But I 'evilly' posted on his Facebook and said: "Is this your new car? Very nice! Must be very good for road handling. How does it look from outside?"

Anyway, after I told Mats that 'someone' has made an untoward remark about my life in Ghana, I did not hear a word from him since. So it's all quiet on the 'western front'.

I hope Mat has by now cleared all the things in the house and taken good care of Dominic's well being. It is easy to make unfounded remarks on others but it is difficult to step into his shoes and perform his duty. I just hope Mat can cope well without me.

Out of the ball game

Shukhen came back from a discussion on our Ghana venture and told me that BOTH OF US are out of the ball game, for now. I am out purely there were some untoward remarks made on me. The subject matter may be true to its fact but the essence of it does not encroach into the operation of the business venture whatsoever. Why people cannot segregate personal life and business sense? Well, it is a blessing that this happens now rather than when things are moving aggressively whereby we need true team work to ride through thick and thin. I don't want to be hypocritical about the whole situation but I am sure if things move on as what they are now, there will be painful lessons learned eventually.

I rest my case but keep my eyes wide open to see if my 'prejudice' is right.
