Tempt
November 28, 2006 by haziamyperspective
I had a meeting with our Australian client yesterday. They have just flown in for an event. It was still early, around 5pm but they have already started drinking. The restaurant that they chose was cosy, we were seated
outside. Throughout the meeting, I think one of them asked whether I would like to have some wine, like 5 times at least. I wasn’t in the mood to tell him the story of why I don’t drink. He knew Muslims don’t drink, but he also knew that some of us do.
The truth was that I had not touch liquor for more than 2 years. And I am taking off for Haj in 3 weeks, this is sooo not the time. With the relaxing ambiance, looking at his wine glass straight in front of me, it was tempting though. No, didn’t succumb, hehe…
