mentor

It was amazed when he paid 250 dollars just for the thirty minutes we can spend in the premium lounge in the HK airport. He holds the diners' club card that gives free access to it but bringing in a guest costs this much and he hadn't told me. The Singaporen 71 year-old mentor I met in the Standard likes me. He has said I am the only reporter in the newspaper, well, in our metronews section. For a fresh graduate like me I is no doubt too much of a compliment but he asked me to trust a Singaporean so I will. Fate brings us to the airport and fate brings us to the flights departing at similar times though heading for a different place. If I did not wish him good luck for his heart surgery I wouldn't know he is going for a short trip to Bangkok before going to Prince of Wales. For a guy lack of self-esteem after a series of traumas that happened these years, he keeps giving me confidence and I trust him that going back to the Standard is the best thing that can happen to me. Yes. It is the place I can learn better than anywhere else. After all, I was only a full-time reporter for two months before I swiftly left the stuffy newsroom. Let me buy something nice to celebrate with his good heart in Korea, the place he likes.
