5.8.2026 Tuesday - going forward


Looking forward to this morning's meeting, we have new information and ideas to share with the client; way forward in an exciting new project. The engineers have been proactive as well; following up with site planning and we conclude in good spirits.

The afternoon meeting is more dreary, reminding the builder about his responsibilities and so forth, but the journey is enjoyable as I have not had a chance to chat with GW for quite a while. 

A good workout and swim to end the day, Sean joins me at the gym and we head home to dinner with my mom. I give my mom my beer nuts, she enjoys them but cannot name them. She's happy today. I think it's because she is having dinner with us - Sean fetches her a drink to wash down the peanuts which she cannot name. She is from a wealthy family, used to the good things in life; home cooked meals, servants, treats and snacks - maybe she's happy to relive those days. 

4.8.2026 Monday - plans for a quick trip

 A client referred us to a potential client, I wait until Monday 8 a.m. to text this person who replied promptly. I offer to meet and have a chat about the possibilities of working together - so it looks like we are going to KL. Some contracts matters are overdue, we resolve it online with the QS - I have reason to be upset with the oversight but decided that it is just Life reminding me to stay on top of things. And besides, the parties involved are dealing with it in good spirits and in a productive way - so all is good.

30.7.2026 Thursday - K2


 An early start to print drawings for a meeting at 930 a.m., some others are here as well - we talk about a simple project to shade cars, install PV panels and blur boundaries between the garden and the road. 

905 - we have a solution for them to start producing more defined drawings, FL and I head to see the man, who is a little mellow. He agrees to formalise K2, and I volunteer to speak to the engineer, a friend from school. All works out well as we marshal our forces to get some decisions and results.

29.7.2026 Wednesday - heavy on my mind


One of those days where I get to meet people whom I would not have lunch with; the unsecure bully. Fortunately, there are enough around whom I can happily have lunch with after our site inspection for floor tiles (colour variations supposedly). And at the end of the lunch, she asked 'when do we have lunch again?' - a nice end to a nice lunch. 

And a nice end to the day when Jowie and Yoshi invited themselves over for dinner; bringing satay and a self - tipping satay gravy boat; a first prototype by Yoshi. A grounded unpretentious couple - I would share a meal with them anytime.
