We cook dinner at No. 40 for SKM and 'Carol' - this time they meet our other group of friends; from Sam's gym, Sara's work friends, and Sim who is at a loose end as Wawa is away in KL. It turns out to a really good outing for everyone with Pete telling silly stories and Dyan in her best gossipy mode. Her cousin June is a new face, recently returned from Perth grew up in Sabah and now in Kuching to retire. This is a nice new experience for Carol, who appears to have a rather narrow world view, she wonders why we would have non Chinese people into our house to work, clean, cut the grass. Race and religion seems to come into their lives all the time, I am glad that we have an opportunity to show them how the good life is lived. And I am also glad that this is only a small dose of them in Kuching.
Earlier today - I met with Suen Ling and her client (soon to be our client as well) - we talk about my scheme for the Bali hotel. I think we strike it off - I ll make some notes of our chat and revert. She will then have to decide the direction and budget - I tell her I won't talk about money for now and am happy to work out some sort of hotel stay exchange over the next ten years.
