Tuna Breakfast, Fragile Recovery, and the Calm That Didn't Last
February 15, 2020
The day began with tuna sandwiches, headache, and the hope of a calmer reset, but it ended up mixing depression, social performance, Parsi fixation, and the feeling that even calm was temporary.
Wine Plans, a Buddhist Event and Feeling Like an Actor

I woke up. I'm going to go get some food sooner or later. I really enjoyed Australian tuna sandwiches dipped in mayonnaise. I really love mayo. It tastes good and is good for me.

I'm excited about doing a win tasting with Koshi aiya. I think Chadu can also help with organising or taking part. It's a fun product. I hope we can work with Mr Harry Jayawardena and DCSL.
12:00 p.m.
I had lunch. I had tossey with some potato and fish curry. It wasn't so special, was okay. I'm having a headache. I ate a marshmallow coated in sugar after dropping it on the ground. I should be okay. I wish I could campfire and burn that marshmallow. The maid got me a black coffee. I'm having a slight headache. I'll work on some work.
1:15 p.m.

I came back from some Buddhist event somebody I don't know organised at the Gangaramaya temple. I'm not a Buddhist, but I choose to respect and play along with the culture of Sri Lanka. I think in any country, even as the majority, I'll play along and get along with people. I'm always acting.
There is an idea of a Patrick Bateman, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me, only an entity, something illusory, and though I can hide my cold gaze..
I mean, there is an idea of a Lehan Edirisinghe, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me, only an entity, something illusory, and though I can hide my cold gaze and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable:
I simply am not there.
I was thinking of writing to Sohli Captain for some help with my business. But I better wait until I'm a subscribing member of my new Duke of Connaught Lodge No. 2940, first. Then, even if I piss him off, it's not a big deal.
Better yet, I need to use my willing volunteer Senake Amerasinghe seeya to get a face to face. My tone, body language, it's 80%, my words are just 20%. That's why I'm reluctant to write to somebody, or anybody.

I like Senake Amerasinghe seeya, Yasendra's dad, his wife Rukmani
10:00 p.m.
I had some really good Earl Grey tea from Dilmah and some Lindt chocolate. I had dinner. As I was saying, Rukmani aunty, I call her aunty, I call Senake Amerasinghe uncle, Rukmani is a Madam hehehe. Just like Madam Ho Ching! I love it!

The Parsis are my favourite people now. Very trustworthy, very good people. I wonder how I can help them. I just don't tolerate it when people I like disappear or fail. I can't let them die out.
I dunno. I think maybe it's because they're just like me. I like people like me. I also loved Freddie Mercury so much. I love them. I hope they can visit to see our birds or for us to be friends with the 11 Parsi families and invite more Parsis to come to Sri Lanka.
Wine Cellars, Just-in-Time Storage and Sweet Wines
I think we had a cellar in the kitchen, but I don't think the temperature was around 15°C or something. I kept my wine in the fridge. I need to get a place to store my wine. I like to operate the just in time inventory control system to make sure the product quality is preserved, transportation or storage costs are reduced and the business is effective. I love sherry and port. I have a sweet tooth.. I'll try dig a cellar one day... I wish I could've tried some of these wines, especially, the ones found towards the bottom of this list.
Joking About Burying Gold During Japanese Occupation
Tom Wang Chen Yong yes, I was. I sold my assets, bought gold, buried my gold and then ███████████████████, me and my old pal Runme Shaw dug up our gold, sold it and continued business -- terrible, scary times, the ████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████
Calling Wine Tasting Subjective After a MasterClass
I watched this MasterClass --██████████████████ it wasn't that good. The key takeaway is wine tasting is highly subjective and down to personal "tastes": The taste of raspberries to me, is blueberries to D*** ("Richard") and cranberries to Harry. A few expert friends involved in wine, told me he's full of it but knows his stuff.
