Just got back home from Thilanga uncle's house. Uncle Thilanga had some sort of karaoke with drinks with his friends from his school Nalanda College. I spoke to my cousin Koshitha about our business deals. We can try to do a few small pen tests with Dialog Axiata (Sri Lanka) instead of parent Axiata Group Berhad (Malaysia). We're thinking long and hard on how to approach Dr Hans. Charith seems very busy as a member of his team left in Australia, he's struggling to speak with me. I'll talk to him in the morning or afternoon preferably.
I noticed I can't drink too much. I can't drink whiskey. I had a bit of Jack Daniel's, but I pretty much threw it in the sink. I drank wine. I prefer wine. I go to the Freemason meetings and always drink beer, although I hate how it's just a local Lion brand beer. I prefer the craft beer or Guinness Irish Stout or even Heineken or Carlsberg. I'm feeling sad my vision is not so good. My eyesight is getting blurry, I'm 26 years old. It must be too much computer use and reading on my mobile phone device. I think it's myopia or shortsightedness, I can't see 5 or 10 metres away and beyond.
1:45 a.m.
I was struggling to see uncle Thilanga on business for the last 2 or 3 weeks. He might be feeling sad. We scheduled meetings and then he either cancelled or postponed them repeatedly. It's not good for troop morale, Jacques threatened to resign on Friday. I dunno. There's a lot of very serious challenges in Sri Lanka, it's an anti business culture. I keep telling myself that we got on the moon and on Mars, and that we're different and we should just stay cool. It's extremely irritating. I'm not one bit surprised the country is a mess and our economy has been damaged so severely, there's no hope or anything praiseworthy about the culture.
I really like the story of how we got on the moon; as in us Freemasons. It makes me feel really special. It makes me believe I can do anything. ██████████████████████████████████The culture is so terrible. Thilanga uncle should've been supporting us more from day 1, he should've taken it more seriously and it's quite sad. He would've won his seat if he got the credit for finding threats thanks to our pen testing. It's hard to understand his apathy. The Rajapaksa family seem to be lucky that Sirisena and Ranil screwed up the Easter Sunday terrorist attacks, but at the same time, Thilanga uncle is no less worse than them. He's complicit.
He was the Technology Minister and sort of had an obligation to support us as we were offering to do security pen testing for free. As his nephew, he had an obligation to support us. We didn't ask him for any money, we just asked him for a chance to do some work for free. It really shows his character, intelligence and mindset is anti progress, anti business and doesn't support the country. I prefer if Jacques does the talking, he's more mature. There's no point in me doing that part. Thilanga uncle did ask us to get the list of references, which shows he knows something, it's just a clearcut lack of care for us or to see us succeed.
