Time with Laysie
Once I reach her home, she is wearing a facial mask at that moment. We sit at the living room and start to talk about her business plane, which she had already done long ago with her colleague. I just listen to her short presentation about her idea of having cafe. I am quite interested in her ideas which I believe, no one will ever do that before.
I am not going to reveal her top secret business plan online here or else it will be a breach of trust for her. We look for the good location online and discuss how marketable her plan is. Then she wants my presentation based on the detailed business plan I made long ago also during my university days.
Instead of informing her about my initial plan, I get bombarded by her questions and her doubts about the selling point of the ideas. Better still, she shows the signs of aggresiveness about how terrible my location and how plain my ideas can be.
Of course, I am quite pissed off because my ego has been hurt again and again. If I am of younger age, I will be definitely blast her for being rude, giving an attitude that will undermine our friendship. I am more mature and open-minded when i grow older.
Good things I listen and learn or heed but bad things, I just hear and forget about it. No point showing attitude to people who are much knowledgeable and experienced than me. I learn a lot from her and I admit that I am still green about setting up own business, unlike her.
I listen to her advice because she did it and experienced before but to some people who just listen to their friends and apply that to me by acting smart alec, I really give them a fuck attitude. They think I am always wrong and immature.
We suppose to go to Holland Village to walk around and give more insights about the cafe atmosphere but then it starts to pour heavily. Suddenly, I feel that I do not contribute much to the discussion at all. I am not just prepared for her level of knowledge.
Then I go back home at 9pm. It rains so hevaily but luckily from her block to MRT station, there is the existence of shelter on the walkway. It has been a long day for me today.
