Coffee Morning...Round Two

So I forgot to tell you about a really cool coffee morning!

The day after the Little India walking tour I had my first meeting with the Schlumberger Spousal Association (SSA).  I had been looking forward to meeting with them since before I left home.  Some of the ladies in Patric's office in College Station had told me that the SSA had a KL branch and Patric had even gone so far as to send me some links to their website.  I was really excited when I got here and finally got an email from the SSA welcoming me to KL!  I also received a newsletter letting me know about upcoming events.  The first one that really caught my eye was the coffee morning...

It was being held the day after an AAM activity so it fit right in to my schedule AND it was at The Coffee Bean.  It was like the fates wanted me to be at this!  So who was I to deny them?

I went to the Coffee Bean, which was located in Mont Kiara (bonus!), and as I got there it hit me...I had no idea who I was looking for!  All I knew was that I needed to go in, place my order and have it put on the SSA tab.  Seemed a little strange to me but ok.  As I walked in to place my order I saw a woman wearing a Schlumberger lanyard...yay for small miracles!  So I asked the dumbest most obvious question...are you with the Schlumberger Spousal Association?  Duh!  But she was really nice when she answered.  She just smiled really big and said yes as she introduced herself.

I met a lot of ladies that day and had a lot of fun.  The thing I really found out though was that most of them have children so their lives are in a much different place than mine.  Their schedules are dominated by school and family events.  I did meet a few ladies that I may be able to develop some relationships with so we will see what comes from that.  We all laughed a lot and had a lot of fun!  It will be nice to see them when we can get together.

The SSA has activities that they host and I look forward being able to attend them.  I'm sure I will meet more people as I get out an about, which is my ultimate goal!

So for real, for real now...the rest of the week was spent doing my domestic duties.  =)

Next post will be our weekend excursions.

See you next post!!

Monkey update:  They haven't moved into Mont Kiara since we moved out...  =)
