A Short Chat

It's a nice feeling to bump into a woman whom I've always considered as my boss. I always remember how she helped me out so much when I first started freelance writing.

She is one woman I respect enormously for her sharp intellect, down-to-earth practices, personal style and accomplishments. We will meet at social events, but nothing beats talking to her like this on our own time again. I miss those discussions.

Upon arrival at Heathrow, we grimaced when we realized our pink passes to priority clearance at customs didn't amount to very much when we had to wait 15 minutes for our luggage. Ah well. (Note to self: don't compare don't compare Changi Airport with the rest!) While waiting, we continued the chat that began at the departure lounge of Changi.

I can't help but feel thrilled when she noted that I've 'grown up' and again, she stressed that she would always have a place for me should I ever decide to join her proper. Heh.

It's quite amazing how short but sincere chats like that with someone so formidable make my day.
