Finally met up with Houng last night and yeah she was captivating, well traveled and very confident of herself.
We had dinner over at Black Angus [the steak place that is opposite Orchard Towers] and everything went pretty well with me finding out more about her. Turned out that she was from Norway of Vietnamese descent having moved to Europe at a young age and has traveled to over 20 countries... and is now looking at working in Singapore despite her strong views with regards to the government here.
We met one of my long time friends subsequently, and she sort of confirmed what I have probably guessed all along that my friend is gay. No… I don’t feel any different in any way even after she brought up the topic and all that I want as a friend is for him to find happiness, regardless of whom he is or is with.
I thought the night would end well with her joining us for Mah Jong over at Brenda’s. The night did end up with Mah Jong but without Houng that is. I shouldn’t have assumed that the rest would be ok with me inviting a friend and well it ended pretty bizarrely with Brenda spinning a tale about jasper being hospitalized, and it definitely was in no way convincing. It definitely has to be up there as one of the more dramatic moments that I have encountered.
I couldn’t have pulled out from the game because then they would be one player short… I should have just arranged for dinner to have been tonight instead… but well… what’s done is done so well let’s just hope everything goes fine from here and that she will find the job that she is so looking for.
