Went to London on 3rd and came back on 7th March on a offficial visit. Neil, a confessed gay was with me. He seems to be the girl in the Gay relationship who is being offered a move to Singapore and torn since his guy doesnt want to move again there. Their relation in Manila thus is a question mark now.
Being bitten by the travel bug, Neil and myself would find ourselves taking the tube every evening those days to go to Oxford street to do shoping or go to west end to breadth the air. Offocurse we saw a Musical (We will Rock you- yes, we were throughly rocked!) and later bitterly, inwardly complained not being born there and not being able to live there.
I found myself toying with varrious ways we could move to London. However, spedning few days there, realised the life is full of tension for teeanges there. So, got worried for Shenna who would be a teenager in half a decade and decided that may we are better off being somewhere like Singapore so as give him a relaxed environment when he enters the turbulent teenage years.
On the last day morning, it was raining when I was picked up by John to drop me to Hethrow. He said, he was from Morritius and living in London for 35 years. He has moved there from his morritius as a callow 18year old and found living his life a cab driver since there. Meanwhile, he went to his Morritus to get married and shired four kids. Everyyear, he goes back to Morritius to recharge himself. One of his daughter found a classmate from Morritius and now married and living there.
His hope for his boy of 12 is that he marries someone from Morritius. He said, 'this indian or pakistani guy marry a white girl and then find them to have a white baby or a baby with curlly afro hair! I want him not to fall for a white girl'.
He gets his work through a agency woned by Pakistanis who seen to give all the good work to muslims and not so juicy ones to him. He is poorly paid and seems to be struggling with a large family to feed. Yet, he had a very dignified outward look.
