The banker woke me up on Sunday morning asking me if I wanted to go to Macau. As I was so rudely woken up, I was in no mood to entertain anyone and said no then I went back to sleep. Half and hour later, he called again and this time, got it into my thick head that I was being bribed with front row tickets to watch Cirque du Soleil all expenses paid. So I perked up and prettied up for a trip to the circus courtesy of the robust HK financial industry. :)
Cirque du Soleil first opened in the custom built theatre at the Venetian, Macau on 28th August this year. It is expected to be a permanent show on the Cotai Strip. The company who was forking out for the event had invited its employees and clients and their tager-alongers to watch the show. It was interesting to talk to the other bankers who have moved here from all over the world. Likewise, I hope they found me interesting too as I was in no way connected to any of their work and had just tagged along because I wanted to watch the circus, just like the five year old kid called Daisy who sat behind me in the ferry! Meanwhile, the bankers were busy networking and making new friends. All in the name of drumming up more business.
I think I spent Malaysian National Day well... There is never a better way to celebrate anything than to something exciting. Likewise, buying new shoes can also give a similar feeling of euphoria.
