How Dad spends his Birthday

With meetings starting in the morning and more in the afternoon and night, a quiet dinner was only possible at 10pm. Now it's almost midnite and my day is about over so I will take some time to reflect on my special day!

In case anyone is curious to know of my age, you can visit a recent webpage I created at http://fastlane.info/sji where you will find my old school friends of the same age and what we're doing next year.

This birthday, I'm launching the long predicted website that shares my Heart and Mind where the opening page is just posted at http://familylane.info/personal. It's still in draft form and so I'll take time now to continue to work on it.

Thanks to all the family members and friends who remembered and conveyed their wishes to me. My heart and mind after all these years can be discovered in the new website and may be a revelation to many as I may not have been an easy person to understand due to my fast movements and busy involvement in many different areas of life.

My last meeting today ended at 10pm and is about my involvement in the building management of the apartment I have moved into recently. I was elected to be a council member of the management corporation recently to help solve some sticky problems of divided camps and hard headed former council members still struggling to hold on to their positions to the extent that they locked up the management office. Thank goodness there is the Strata Title's act to ensure there is law and order. With the City Council and Police on our side, we met tonight to firm our course of action and will soon have a breakthrough.

I'm surprised every now and then that someone in the community knows me from somewhere in the past and living in the apartment is no exception. I was in the midst of pacifying the maintenance workers for not getting any salary yet because of the dispute and another resident walks up and recognizes me from the past!! Guess the KL City Kid is still making waves wherever he goes to get noticed! hahaha. I couldn't imagine the other day that even a security guard noticed my motorcycle in the car park and remarked that he had seen it in another building that I've been working at. I wonder why he is another stranger that asks me the common question, are you local??? I'm waiting for the day someone will ask me are you human!! hahaha

With half a million dollars or ringgits in the building fund, I guess too may people have a vested interest to be in the council. The fight gets dirty! Even Simba my good friend was threatened when the opposition party remarked that dogs should not be in the apartment.... grief! Truly, it's a dog eat dog world out there sometimes and may the best dog win! lol I'm appreciative of the experience as I am able to continue to test all the theories I've been researching on with regards to the interplay of our Hearts and Minds for Optimal results. It's been a good birthday for me as I can talk to everyone with clarity and ease despite a tense atmosphere of the residents in conflict. So wish me well for the rest of the days as I believe they will be long!
