Happy Vesak Day My Ass
I wasn't wrong to feel tense all through today, even though it's a holiday. Quite by accident, I found out our HK office closed LAST Friday for Vesak Day but are open today. All our Aust and other offices are open today, except the Malaysian and Thai offices. The Indo office will close TOMORROW for Vesak Day. But not today.
It's terribly confusing. Shouldn't Bhudda's birthday be on the same day (ok, give and take about 12 hours) everywhere in the world? I'm sure there's a logical explanation somewhere, but I'm just clueless.
While walking along Keong Saik Street today with The Husband (we were heading to the Austrian coffee place - do I hear a scream from NTUC Building?) I got a call on my mobile from A Potential BloodSucker. It's this random guy who called me from [Somewhere in Asia other than Singapore] wanting to instruct us on an urgent, important, major transaction. Before I could say "I don't know you and we will need funds into account", he had flown into Singapore and was perched on a chair in our meeting room, asking for all sorts of legal advice.
We gave him some advice (verbal and written) to show good faith, and then asked for funds into account. He called to 'clarify' (i.e. ask for more advice) and we gave him more information and advice and then asked him for funds into account. He called again to 'clarify' and I thought it would be appropriate to also 'clarify' if he had remitted funds. He didn't answer the question, but will again be flying into Singapore to meet for more 'discussion'.
I always get hit on like this. Some random person will call, say he got my name off someplace, suck me dry for all the information he needs, and then wander off and I never hear from him again. Through the years, I've gotten a little harder, a little more cynical, but somehow when they sound like they're really in need of some help and information, I'll inevitably be the sucker. EVEN when they call me on the mobile on a public holiday.
There better be some big time karmic benefit for this, is all I can say. Together with a bunch of people being reborn as cockroaches in their next lives.
Happy Vesak Day.
