Thank you for the comments.
It makes me very happy to know I create "entertainment value"
In shxt times like that, it is probably good.
I am not born in UK...but after +20Y in HK, I am beyond repair and even my ashes will not go back to my birth country.
Like the title of the book "Straight to hell"...but first class baby (GS Elevator!)
Ages in finance (in a dark weird corner of investment banking) have pushed me to the extreme my natural (and built) cynicism
...and investing (personal) in a very weird country, north of China, has pushed it further. Either you know Mongolia or you don't
In one of those IBs, I won (for very different reasons) the "What did the heck he said award"
That was expected as I was somewhere a "fixer", the guy others very senior bankers and clients call when they cannot solve the corpfin brainteaser.
Now retired and bored to death, with the coronavirus, I could hurl to the moon in desperation (seeing craziness and stupidity all around)
...but that is not a way to end a fun life, trying to hang on as long as possible for questionable reasons.
So NOW I prefer to see (for a while) some fun aspects of life, even if I might appear like ...degenerated. I never cared about about different from the crowd.
I was NO "Legend" with Mainland Chinese pros, but I have been a regular of Jasmine for ages!
Really my type of ladies for many reasons. Good fit...that got better.
In Wanchai with bar girls (until coronavirus), I was probably a "legend" at least from 2009...
(If I walk near some bars, I am pretty sure to hear some waitresses and bartenders screaming my firstname.
Not exactly low profile, but they are nice).
So I SIMPLY CANNOT walk in Wanchai with...my wife.
Being a HKJC Full Member, what I did this summer was considered by some friends as outright suicidal...but I love challenges and brainteasers,
so I found "Hedges"(damned weird...but that was my job in IBs).
Taking out for evening Jasmine (she likely had clients there
) and then BO BO to some catering premises in Happy Valley ClubHouse
was plain insane...but the ladies LOVED it, seeing their faces and smiles, there and after, was so rewarding.
In 2021, because of a "lack of supply" (
), while Jasmine was vaccinated up and running, it was clear my 2021 summer "holidays"was about
Jasmine and friends.
what was not expected in the '"master plan" was that I found one (one my own) at Phoenix (if you have missed previous posts, she is BO BO 5F A2)
that is really a totally overlooked gem.
So I share my "life"between Jasmine (on holidays) and BO BO (she will ~shut down shop one afternoon this week. Sorry guys)...both knowing very well 1) each others and 2) their roles in my life (Jasmine is, in addition to her expert services, my shrink (cheap) / confident).
Considering the challenges with BO BO (not a word of English), Jasmine is VERY impressed but as that makes me happy, she is happy that I am.
Simple.
Was told in ...finance I should write a book about "war stories". Fair, there is enough to write War and Peace, bigger....but impossible, no prescription on confidentiality.
Was told the same thing about Wanchai. Fair there is enough...but no and my prints will be bleached.
In my IBs weird business, the more you practice the better (or worst
) you become.
In Wanchai and with my Mainland Chinese regulars it's the same.
On Thursday, in Sheung Wan after spending some (overdue) time with "Bobo "Long Leg" (see report. Very nice attitude of a VERY PRO lady),
I went to see a friend nearby to tell him the latest..since 2 months ago.
He has imagination but between what I told him and what I showed, he did not see that coming...by far.
I am clearly beyond repair but it's so much fun.
"exhausted dead male discarding system":
That is cryptic...saved for those who know what happened in Victoria in Q1 2008 (never been able to go to that cursed (crowded) place after).
I knew that main character very well and I can certifiy first hand that stories and gossips that popped up after were 100% BS.
The causes of what happened are likley related to some previous year event.
A guy like that, Fightin"Fit, dying from heart attack?
That's it for today.
