Wah liao!

How do you know that you have been initiated into a new country?

When the founder of the state’s office calls you.

“Hello, is this Miss Nicole Yeong?”
“Yes.”
“This is Miss Chow (not her real name) from Minister Lee Kuan Yew’s office.”

WAH LIAO!! What’s going on??

It turns out that the lady called me because she could not reach my VP, who has been in contact with the Minister Mentor’s office on a client-related project. This VP is on leave and has listed me as the contact person.

Wah….. that was a real shocker. But gratefully, it woke me up from my Friday slothaephoria. I have no idea how to fill my time sheet today; calls for creative accountability.
