Last saturday night, had dinner with a girl friend which was quite nice till she invited me to this party with her boss and the evening sort of went downhill from there. It is not to say that the people were not nice. Just felt very uncomfortable there because i don't know anyone and that everyone is heavily involved in making lotsa moolah in one way or the other. Most are from this and that big finance company or banks. People who goes to tokyo for holidays and stay in the BEST hotels. People who talked about work and who's who in the industry. People who smoked cigars and collect art works. People who lived right smack in the orchard road. Well, just different circle of people altogether.

I felt like a country idiot. I couldn't talk to anyone there and nothing made sense to me. Even the cats were of a higher "class" than i was. Hardly a pedigree and can never faked to be one. Way out of my league, man. Didn't help that i embarrassed myself (and i suspect, my friend) when i walked right smack into the balcony glass door (why did they have only candles when they were so rich??) right infront of these glamourous people.

Ouch.

Still, every new experience is a good experience. Even embarrassing ones.
