Dear Hosts, where are you?

I attended a dinner last night in Kampar in honour of a friend's mother grand birthday. When we reached the restaurant at about 7pm, which was the time given to us, the hosts were not around to greet guests arriving for the dinner. They only managed to turn up a good half an hour after the stated time. Talking about bad organisation, this is surely one of the golden picks. Though it was not difficult to identify the place, as hosts I think it is plain courtesy for one of the hosts to be around to guide the incoming guests.

Putting aside the unpleasant episode, the food was fairly good and there was a genuine concern to give a good meal to the guests.

The occasion also gives me an opportunity to meet many friends whom we have not met for a very long time, some for more than 20 years.
