Happy Birthday Amigos!

Woah! I'm feeling oh-so-high now..yes, i did have a drink..but the high didn't come from the it..it was a natural high from pure happiness..

It was the birthday of a close colleague today..dinner was at a spanish restaurant..reservation was made for 7pm & i arrived on the dot..got the waitress to keep the cake in the fridge, i sat down & waited..& waited..

Quick check on the watch, 20 mins into appointment time & no signs of people..stomach let out a gentle growl..heng ah, nobody was around to hear it..

7.30pm..2 of them appeared..then 3..then 4..good, the whole gang has arrived..can start ordering liao..

Food came, food gone..it was time for the highlight of the evening..

After arranging with the waitress, the live band came over to our table and started singing the birthday song..& the cake was brought on..this was no ordinary cake..it was a cake with a 'watch' on it, the watch tat Ms K has been eyeing..

*applause applause*

Oh, was tat Ms K wiping tears from her eyes? i have good reasons to believe they were tears of joy..good food, good ambience(though it was a little warm sitting outdoors) & most importanly, good company..wat more could one ask for?



Next programme on the list..some cosy chit-chat..

We strolled to a pub further down the road but was distracted by a bridge along the way. 0.5 claimed that she wanted to take pics on the bridge..sure, why not? we're camera-ready all the time..

0.5 suddenly turned to me and said 'i realised i don't have tat many photos taken wif u'..oh, has she been digging for photos with the 2 of us? cos i had been..& i had the same sentiments..

Reached the pub..frozen margarita were ordered(yes, it was really quite a warm night) and everybody just sat back and relaxed..can't rem much of the conversations..mostly unimportant stuff..just some minor details tat u probably won't mention to 'hi-bye' frens but would like to share wif your closer frens..

Back home..as i'm sitting in front of my pc..waiting for my hair to dry..wat will tmr be like? am i supposed to behave as per normal? or do i have to go around shaking hands? am i expected to be happy or sad?

I really dunno..after all, this is my first(real) job & hence, the first time i'm leaving a workplace..guess i'll find out in a few hours' time..
