he came to check out the new club house(just soft-launch open on 29 jun 2011), not so much to attend the egm.
the meeting went past midnite, with a lot of barbs flying towards the president of the club and his committee and also the management.....
there's one lawyer, an old one, obviously too old, trying to rattle of, and he did. but he was thumped down by the president who himself is a senior council.
the voting of the 4 motions was completed at past 10pm, with the members heated but well-controlled tones. the president gave them credit for all the gentlemanly debates that's not the norm of the club.
before he could sit back and take a breather for the second half of the meeting(questions raised by the members in various channels - internet, newspaper, members' talks...), the true color of the club's tradition showed up - arrows shot from everywhere towards the people sitting behind the podium. the president had to pulled out all rabbits from his lawyer hat to quench the fire that's burning out of control if not for his experience in the court - yep, it's like in the courtroom, where sharp and cynical remarks are passed around to and fro, where the two sides insisting vehemently that the truth is in their side, and questioning every move of the other side as illegitimate. and the president dealt with all the accusations and bitter attacks on him an dhi steam, very professionally.
at the end of the day - when the meeting ended, it was already past 1am, the supper porridge was well served for the empty stomachs......
