meetings. dinner. CASINO

the day started off with chilling breeze and light drizzle. got up as usual and met frits again. drove my dad and i to the office 40mins away, lucky them having the office away from downtown, so the avoid the traffic both going and after work.

long long meeting today, sat buy the side and see the deals being made.. 'WOW' again, never did i expect such figures. Being a director is not easy task, seeing Arben and my dad making decisions, never stop pressing the calculators against the exhange rate. its no easy task, respect them. In business its also about give and take, I help you, you help me and find a equilibrium at the end of the day that both sides gain from it. Not always its all profit where only one party will gain, but also helping each other to gain with the overall margin. many things comes into play with business, the logistic, the operations, the finance, the manpower.. etc etc. of course the higher you go the more risking taking decision you'll make.. but those below running the errands have to work hard too. finally finally it was fruitful and deals made. Arben really impress me alot with his way of doing business, the way he talks, he react, he decide.. not bad at all. He's actually not a dutch, but he's actually from Kosovo. He's really someone who absorbs the good essence of different cultures fast, smart fellow.

Went to dinner at humphrey's.. a typical local cafe that they wanted me to experience how the people chill out there. Met up with more nice people there. Arben came to fetch us together with his wife, Ergyn's brother Erkang and his wife.. on the table was 10 person, though we're in groningen, there's only one dutch and that's frits. the rest are from kosovo and 1 turkish. seeing the unable-to-understand menu, i anyhow pick up something though erkang was explaining to me.. it came a quail! so i was telling them about my experience on JCC in Brunei on how i killed the quail to eat during survival.. Hearing so much conversation, I think i wanna visit Kosovo one day. afterall, it could be a good place to invest next time.

Casino! finally.. went over to this casino known as 'holland casino'.. i won about 400 euros about S$800+.. jus by playing blackjack. quite cool having the whole bunch of us there playing for fun with our age ranging from me 21 to ergyn 27.... to my dad and Arben around their 40s. though the culture are quite different back home, but they're really fun-loving people. especially those guys like frits, ergyn etc.. not proud or wat, jus happy always, of course, afterwork.

tmr gonna roam around the area alone, its my off day! lol.. finally a day without meetings.
