weekend blurt..

yesterday's run was fun, running in the rain. went to the meeting point only to stare at the heavy rain. chitchated with other dept while waiting for the rain, got to know another indonesian working in the firm. at the end the partners decided to go to our future office while waiting for the rain. so there we were busying ourselves at the new building. while doing that we met the admin manager and persuaded her to bring us to our future department. hmm, can't say much now that we're going to be in the same room with IT so it's bigger yet it's smaller. me & hp just glad that its a wall behind us, instead of a glass window of my boss' room. went down and meet the others again. spent more time browsing the area and i was involved in a conversation with one of the partner that i used to avoid, sigh - now there's no way i could just pretend not knowing who he is and walk away. by then it's only drizzling, so we went down for a group photo and headed down to the padang. crisp was there and i spent time talking to him, been awhile since seeing him. he's no longer volunteering in the networking group, hence my reason for asking more questions. typical crisp, he will engage a conversation with someone and slowly pull another person in. by the time we reached the padang, i've already been involved in a conversation with people i never talk to before. the downside of this was that now that more partners know your existence means you have to think twice before ignoring the office dress-code. run was good, managed to finish the 3.2 km within 22 mins, not bad but could've been better!. dinner afterwards before going home. decided to skip the gathering organised by al, unless he wanted someone smelling like bull there, i'd better go straight home for a shower.
spent my night reading two books at one go. one book is good in a sense it was like a compilation of dos and don'ts of everything. do you know that it's inconsiderate to wear too much perfume in the morning? do you realise that vertical stripes clothes scream 'hey, i'm trying to look slim' and lots of other new things worth knowing. at the same time i read a so-called wake up call book. borrowed it for my friend but no harm reading it first, eh? jen called while i was watching cable, so gotta let go of the movie and at the end after hours of chitchatting, we ended up talking about the book - i read certain part and we talked about it. haven't done this kinda girl talk with her for weeks as i've been heading home that often.
thinking of waking up late today before going out later, but my uncle called me at the wee hours to ask the recipe for sayur asam. blimmey, it's weekend and i'm wide awake. i've been sleeping like a baby since i decided to let coke out of my lifestyle for the time being. it's like a payback time for all the sleepless night. excuse me now, i think i'll get back to reading my email especially that i got two from matt damon.
