Fusion Haven


It was a day that went off uneventful and seemingly pleasant at first. Working at a comfortable pace for the first half of the day, then exchanged little gossips (not much!)and future career plans with 2 colleagues over at lunch in Food Republic @ Pavilion. Then it came a bomb towards the time to knock. My dear boss blasted me for some information that has not been properly passed down by my ex-colleague, which to her was not acceptable because I was supposed to know-it-all. At first of course I had a shocked now-then-I-know expression all written on my face, but right after a short while of about 10 seconds, I took it all in stride and started thinking ways to resolve the issues, knowing that was one of the more effective ways to deal with Ibu, even deep down I realised, with my limited authority and power in the organisation, this could be quite a challenge. Well that really sets the tone for the rest of the day!

Fortunately, Fusion Haven saved me! (not forgetting a virtual peck from you also, dear!) Tweety who hails from Penang decided to stay in town for another day or two (by buying her own medical leave)called up for a drink. It ended up as my late dinner with Isaac and Tweety at this restaurant in Sri Petaling called Fusion Haven. I had nicely garnished grilled duck with rice, while Tweety and Isaac had some meat ball with rice and vege and Kimuchi korean style rice with sausage respectively. Then we shared a dessert which is something like brownie served with vanilla ice cream. (Sorry I'm really bad with names!)Well my duck was not bad, not sure about the rest though, but it was the company that saved my day. Never mind what we have discussed and bantered throughout the late dinner (I shall keep that to myself hehe!), but the point is,I couldn't have asked for more than having company like that over a meal! We actually sat till we were the last ones to leave, and the boss had to bid us thank you to shoo us out with courtesy!

I wish I had the freedom to enjoy these moments as and when I like or need, given that the circumstances are allowing. Well, for starters, having my own transport would solve half the problem as people won't shudder to have the idea of inviting me for dinner or for a drink, thinking that they would need to send me home thereafter as part of the deal, not to mention the petrol price hike worsens thing up!

That all boils down to one thing...I need a new job!
