its been one nice in a weird kinda way night for me.
the plan was to go home and spend time with mum before going out to meet few friends and talk about some stuff. but upon hearing my going out at night mum decided to spend time house hopping - her sibling's that is. i was left alone at home huhuhu.
the original plan was to join them and straight home. but r called this afternoon reminding me about the fine dining tomorrow as it has been planned since last month. i was actually thinking of giving it a miss with the reason that mum's in town. but then mum said she'd be spending the night at her auntie's place with her sisters so i said yes when r reminded me. but somehow the initiator cancelled it due to no confirmation from whoever he asked to join the dinner. it was a shame but then again, oh well... good for the pocket and i can do vb 'til the end and have a relaxing night. i actually left a message saying its a shame that it had to be cancelled and apparently r called him. somehow, we ended up being invited to his xmas party. since i know r is invited too, i told her that i've said yes to d about joining them. but of course we wanted to do this xmas gathering thingy as a way of replacing the cancelled dinner. and also, to know him better as a friend. so we decided that i'd be going to the gathering while r spends time at her office xmas party. we'll then meet and go to this xmas thingy. fine, deal!
r called while i was busy looking at myself in the mirror, analysing how fat i am to restrategies the plan. lets go to the xmas party and leave early for the gathering if its boring. else, stay longer and then gathering. okay fine. i rushed out, hailed a cab, reached the place, met r and went up. we were freakingly surprised to find that the place was empty! apparently it wasn't a xmas gathering; but spending time together before he flies home for xmas. me and r could only looked at each other when we realised that. as usual my 'sorry, but i'm a non-alcoholic drinker, do you have any soda?' gave the host an extra work to go down and get a bottle of coke. we used the time to inspect the place (with his permission of course) and telling each other how good that both decided to come and waited for each other before going up. btw, nice pricey place - $7.8K/mth on company expense! blxxdy expat!!!.
surprisingly it turned out to be a simple yet nice evening, getting to know the other parties better. even me and r talked about what we find comfortable from each other. someone told me that she's an airy fairy lady even before i know her. but i think she's just someone nice who talks and laughs the way she does. a nice decent lady who knows her limit in everything. we ended up chatting 'til we're bored and watched ice age on cable that i texted d about skipping the gathering and update me on the conclusion as we're still stuck in another place.
pretty weird how things ended up but honestly i prefer this kinda setting better - simple, cozy, and definitely nothing dodgy.
on a lighter note, i finally received the postcard. apparently it takes almost a month to receive it from peru. she has reached and left her hometown, updated me on msn, uploaded all pictures on facebook, she even has left for yet another round of adventure and only now did i receive it. so very efficient, eh...
