Yuppie vs heartland

Oh. Yuppie lifestyle, my 1st exposure to it. Dont laugh. I know I am a "mountain tortoise". Hahaha... Hey, I said DON'T LAUGH >>>

The other day, my Asian sales manager initiated drinks with the whole ad team (plus the ang mohs) though in the end only 3 of us went. We took a lift in his car but boy was I horrified, his car very dirty lehz... Sales manager lehz.. with an american firm no $$ to upkeep his blardi car??? His car was dirty on the outside and inside!! I sat in front and there was alot of dried grass on the mat. GOODNESS!!! He's married somemore...

Well, back to the yuppie vs heartlanders. I guess it's cos they are older than me by 5-6 years that I couldnt really catch their conversation threads. Plus they all studied overseas... It's only me, the typical go to S'pore schools and grad with typical S'pore uni...

Hmmm... Yes, I knew what they were talking about, cars and girls and guys but the name-dropping got to a point where I got really blurred. And it didnt help that throughout the 2 hours plus that we were sitting there, I drank 2 housepours and an awful margarita.

Too bad, I felt like a "mountain tortoise" cos I very seldom go for drink sessions. In my previous company, it was like drinks meant kopitiam as the coffeeshops were just opposite and pubs were nowhere to be seen in the heartlands.

"Xiao mei mei" was how I felt too cos I was the youngest among them! It was getting abit uncomfy at times as they seem to be dishing out advice on life to me.. and I was thinking, "yah but you dont have to tell me that life's like that, I will live it myself." Okie, so much for being appreciative. Their (older) points of view were funny... ... at times ??

Actually, it was somewhat fun. However, I do not understand why they are social smokers. Hopefully the next one would turn out better.
