The recent trip to Bangkok was quite a fruitful one. Reports were completed as planned; manuscripts were furnished with the latest figures and what not; while shopping was done so-so.
Pratunam keeps all the records safely all this while, as well as memories - good and bad - altogether paint the picture of life in not so a straightforward manner, especially with this round of visit; where half of the supposedly 6 life-members were intially should be there, each of them pledged to paint 'the canvas' with his or her own colours however only three made it. But, 'God is the Great Planner' - as the saying goes - and all left were three of them, I, FinFin and a newly-elected member, Mus.
It worked out pretty well, especially with my mission of getting things done there. Of course, there were some black-spots somewhere within the framework. I guess the biggest setback would be the second-last day of the trip. Again, that unpleasant moment wasn't asked or wished by anybody, not me, or Purple Stockings, or WaWa, and definitely not ShiShi.
It came out as a result of uncertainty, an out-of-context of an unstable emotion. Perhaps the adrenaline was too fast to bear by Purple Stockings until she made it crystal-clear that some actions were better kept safely inside the heart and not let anyone sees or listens. Afterall, it was supposed to be a two-way agreement, kind of bond, that intertwines two individuals trust, strictly for their knowledge alone. It didn't come down quite well with WaWa and ShiShi. I really think Purple Stockings must be satisfied now, or is she?
Moral of the story: Hold firmly on your words; be trustworthy; and never ever let someone's dignity smeared. Unfortunately, Purple Stockings did otherwise. Why? She wants everything all in one time. Satisfaction is one thing; friendship is another; while love is the other disturbing thing. Eventually egoism takes control of everything, all the time. Swallow the ego! Patience is the best option.
