25.10.2026 Sunday - out of sorts until end of the day

When our young ones and some other young ones came by for dinner and drinks - I listen to their stories and learn about their childhood and schooling. One was in boarding school since she was 13, returning only on the weekends, the other maintains an almost cursory relationship with her mom - exchanging whatsapp messages and videos instead to speaking to each other. Another talked about how she was left behind in school, parents forgot to collect her and she had to walk an hour to get home, while one of our talked about how mom drove off without her after tuition class. All this while eating a home cooked meal and drinking nice whisky - a lovely way to begin the week.

19.10.2026 Monday - the week continued through the weekend

The weekend was part of the working week, what with the talk we had to give, and the pickleball we played and work to be done for the terrace housing scheme. But it is not a bad thing, everyone pulled their weight and there were no complaints. In fast, when Fiona and I discuss who would do the rendering, TY turns around with a big smile on her face 'are you talking about me?'. She helped with the rendering, and does a good job. 

Some offices have politics; subordinates who do not take instructions, managers who are rude and over bearing - we have chat. People are constantly crossing the room to look at someone's screen, to have a chat (even if it is discuss where to have lunch). I see Calvin and LH coming to review Azrul's work regularly. 

Chat is a good thing, you can look the person in the eye, and gauge how she is feeling about things. And maybe catch a smile, crack a joke.
