Waiting in the shade

Tropicana Grande Condo project site. 4.00pm. I was scheduled to attend the technical meeting at 4.30pm. With 30 minutes to spare I decided to park my car under a shady spot by a side road off the traffic choked main road.

Not wanting to waste fuel I switched off the air conditioning system and the engine, rolled up the window and sat in the car watching the vehicles passing by in front of me. In the beginning the heat and stuffiness inside the car was overwhelming but as I sat there absorbing the tranquility and quietness and reflecting about what I was supposed to present at the meeting, my body gradually got accustomed to the heat.

At 4.20pm. I told myself that it was time to leave. After ensuring that the doors and the steering wheel were locked I then walked calmly and unhurriedly in the direction of the meeting room. The timing was almost perfect. By the time I entered the room the earlier scheduled site meeting was just coming to an end.

Ministeral visit to the old court house

On my way to the Miyazu plant at Tg Malim, Noreen of Spaz called to remind me to attend the afternoon's meeting as the minister was scheduled to visit the building site at 4pm.

Told Noreen that I was on my way to Tg Malim and was uncertain if I could return to KL on time to attend the meeting. Told her to get in touch with Mdm Tan so that a representative from ZL can be in attendance at the ministeral visit.

I was considering turning back and aborting the Tg Malim meeting, but finally decided to press on with the visit to the Miyazu plant.

Found out later that Noreen did contact Mdm Tan. Mdm Tan sent KK Ng to represent ZL at the ministeral visit.
