An old gathering

After the last dinner about 6 months ago, finally another meetup tonight! The 5 of us (my senior, 2 other ex-colleagues, 1 ex-client) had a great dinner. Shared the Seafood Platter x 2. *droOl*Talking about the old times in our old company and doing catch up is certainly great. Well, certainly this time round is filled with mixture of news: good news that Pat had found a job and a BAD news too. R kept the bad news till end of dinner did he then shared wif us (senior actually know it but had not disclosed to me). Abit shocked - something happened to my big boss of my old co. His health had gone so bad that an unsuccessful operation had led to a leg amputation. Kinda sad story cos I had known him to be a confident man who enjoyed my mum's cream puff. He fetched me at the airport when I first travel there. Brought me to some limestone tunnels and lovely restuarant to had dinner with his wife. I remembered him sharing his story while I went for training - he worked as a train ticket operator in his younger days and finally managed to own a company. Kinda success story to me as at that time, the co was doing well. But unfortunately, my old co. had not been doing well ever since I left I went to study. It just went downstream as biz turned real bad with the rapid technology. Not too sure what happened to him and his wife - they were a lovely couple but had gone seperate ways. Life is bad unexpectedly - kinda scary - So much good memories that I can remember - I can't imagine his state now. I can only say a prayer for him - hoping he'll get better.
