Nick had a new boy starting in the Singapore office today, having spent
the last four years being prepared for the move in the London office.
When people move out
for the first time they generally find themselves bundled into a hotel for the
first week and then a temporary rented apartment for a month or so while they
find their feet and work out where they might want to live full time.
Aware of how sad this
must be when you’re new in town and faced with eating dinners on your own for
the first week when you have no kitchen facilities of your own, I made Nick
invite the new boy over for dinner on Monday night.
There wasn’t anything
special on offer – just salad and chicken, but eating with people you vaguely
know must be much nicer than being stranded in one of the local hawker centres,
so hopefully the gesture was appreciated.
It also meant that I
finally had an excuse to buy one of the ready cooked chickens from ColdStorage.
It wasn’t quite as nice as the ones you can get from Tesco at home, but it was
pretty tasty, so pleased to have tried that out just once…I think I might need
to get out more!
