In the last few days I've met some nice guys through my brother.

The first occasion was though his workplace, trying to set me up to finally join his company. This guy he introduced me to is the assistant to some big shot in the company and had some questions in his mind on how to create something with the computers. He was asking me cause his field is not computers but economy. Very interesting guy, he just came from the States, where he'd recently gotten his Ph.D. I believe I was able to provide good answers to his questions, and left a good impression. What surprised me though is that even though he is in a position in which he doesn't need to kiss my ass at all, he was extremely nice to me. When we were chitchating about local gyms, he said I could give a try to his because he can bring a guest a couple of times each month free of charge. When we were talking about commuting, he said that he mostly doesn't use his car because traffic is so bad, so I can drive it if I feel like(?). Okay, that one was a bit exagerated from him. And then, he said that as a token of thankfulness, he wanted to take me to a Thai restaurant in a luxury hotel near my place(?). Very nice. I think I'll enjoy having him around if I'm finally able to join that company.

Then one night I was out dinning with some of my brother's friends. Many of them I'd never met before. Then at one point we were chitchatting about golf. One of the guys asked me if I play, and so on... and then he said that he'd take me to play... even though I told him I didn't bring my clubs, he said not a problem... he even said that it'd be on him, and so on. He repeated many many times to give him a call to get together and play golf. I don't think it was just some lie to sound nice during dinner and then forget about it, he really meant it. He even said to say hello to my brother and ask him if he wants to join us two for golf. Now the sad/funny thing is that the next time I met my brother and told him about this guy, he couldn't figure out who I was talking about. I showed him his name card, and still couldn't remember!
