gathering - just do it

the gathering in jimmy's new house was after the enbloc meeting.

wine flowed, titbits chomped, saliva flung at one another's face....

'you know at one time i was sitting next to the indonesian finance minister. he told me when indonesian gahmen was pushing for oversea investment, he was in america doing the road-show. a high-profile american came to him and said, "you know what's indonesia's problem?", and he said, "what?". he said, "it's corruption." he said, "my fren, look..... you americans have a lobbying system whereby the lobbyists are paid to convince those in power to buy their story, to push policies for their clients' benefits - they are paid very well.... aren't these 'corruption' clothed with a civilized facade? we indonesians, like many other nations JUST DO IT more directly....cutting out the middlemen.... at least more efficient in getting things done."' the GIC(Government of Singapore Investment Corporation )guy said.

"i have sold my two houses, now left with one to stay in." he hopped into another topic.

"why sold now?"

"i think the market will go down this year." he gave his opinion on the future

"why?"

"the cycle will hit its trough this year."

"so fast? only 1 year ago, we had the downturn."

"2009 was not a downturn, just a blip in bigger scheme of things. this year it has to come down real hard and stay down real low, much longer."

"look at the world, the rich are becoming richer not so much they work harder, just because they have more money. soon the working class would be united and over-turn the table, and form a truely fair world whereby, the wealth is shared among all equally like from the first day when people came out from africa."
