After a restless night, John awoke from his slumber. His watch read 9am but suddenly he realised that he had forgotten to change the time on his watch to Singapore time. John was running late for his business meeting. He leapt from his bed, threw on his clothes and pulled a comb through his hair. There was no time for a shave and his voice was raspy from his restless sleep. Oh well thought John, I guess I’ve got my sexy voice on today. The business meeting was long and drawn out and Johns mind was elsewhere. He was looking forward to seeing Jane later that day and his work colleagues could see his mind was not on the job. The meeting concluded at 130pm and John could not get away fast enough. Traffic on the road was at a standstill so he decided it would be quicker to run. The hot singaporean sun was particularly harsh and it wasn’t long before beads of sweat were dripping down his forehead. Hair ruffled and unshaven, John arrived in the hotel foyer with minutes to spare. As he walked into the hotel bar he could see Jane in all her beauty sitting at a table awaiting his arrival, not a hair out of place but she wasn’t alone. With sweat cascading down the sides of his cheeks and looking very much worse for wear, John nervously made his approach. With an almost unnoticeable grin Jane was the first to speak, “ I would like you to meet my parents” Jane announced.
