Another Crossroad - Part 2

Continuing from where we were in the first part of this topic, Alpha-Male returned from Ta1wan.

He made a bee-line to my office as soon as he got to the office and shooed my assistant away whom I shared my room with.

Once the door was shut behind her and locked, the conversation started.

With GM, it was a curt but friendly conversation. GM made it known that he was merely playing the role of the messenger and that we were not to be shooting at him.

Alpha-Male tone of voice was that of a softer elderly gentleman. Saying that the numbers were not final and open to negotiations.

Er.... good cop bad cop?

I revealed that in the short period between the bombshell and this conversation, I have already activated my feelers and made contact with KL. Perhaps, it was intended to make known to him that I will not be cornered into accepting whatever nonsense they intend to dish out to me.

I have a way out. Well, sort of at the moment.

Still, the sentimental masochistic fool in me is yearning to take on this bull of a challenge by the horns and wrestle it into a whimpering calf.

I shared also with the folks I have been talking to, that KL is a job somewhat like a goalkeeper while this one in QQland is that of an attacking playmaker.

Think Roy Keane. Think Eric Cantona. Think Zinedine Zidane.

KL is somewhat like trying to windsurf in the swimming pool of somebody's condo. I want to be swashbuckling inside eye of a hurricane while staying afloat in the swirl of the whirlpool. Coz when I get through the storm, that cup of coffee in the calm waters thereafter is going to be tasting mighty fine. Oh and did I mention the booty that I would be sitting on while sipping the cuppa?

Well, that is IF I survive the storm.

So perhaps for now, I am stay put but leaving my feelers out there. KL is not ready for me to cross over as I am scheduled to meet them again in KL during the coming CNY.

Thus until now till CNY, I guess I'd still be hanging around here.

Besides, I still have a bottle of gin at the pub that I haven't finish.
