After a day of listening to paper presentations, a secret meeting at He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named's place.
A funny, brief interlude: the tour agent at the hotel lobby chatted with me as I was waiting to be picked up.
Then Maritess and I met Lee (Malaysian?), Taufik (Malaysian?), Joseph (Singaporean) and Eugene (Singaporean?). Joseph is funny. A Singaporean who's down on Singapore.
I think I must've sounded like a bigot to Lee and Taufik. Hey, but they were asking about first impressions. Actually what I answered weren't first impressions but expectations.... Hmmmm...
Take-away thought for the night: I still forget that sometimes, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named can be really horrible.
"I am not in this world to meet your expectations, and you are not in this world to meet mine. You are you and I am I. And if by chance we find each other... then it's beautiful."
