New Year’s Eve was more an orgasmic experience rather than a gastronomic experience.

That being said, the New Year marks the year i will finally be called an adult, notwithstanding my actual birthday date. Of course to some people, i am a 32 year old woman in mid management.

That’s what Senior wants me to play along after he has decided that he wants me around as a fashion accessory. I have a soft launch of the Keppel Bay Marina bridge to attend on 3 Jan, a gala dinner to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies on 7 Jan and another launch to attend on 19 Jan.

It won’t be soon before long that my name will pop up in business circles and social events that my ex-boss and her current squeeze dominate.

The connections that he has and the people that he can set me up with is scary to say the least. It has always been said and proven in gender studies that women gravitate towards men with power and ambition yet it doesn’t seem to be the case for me.

Socialising has never been my cup of tea and perhaps, why i have agreed to tag along for his government and business events is because of pure, unadulterated, selfish business reasons. He has the power and the circle of people who are able to make things happen for me in the future.

And opportunities are what i need at this point in my life.
