i'm in heaven
it seems unreal to be having a nice long gossipy chat with females over dinner at a restaurant...........
i have really forgotten what that feels like, until today. i had dinner with 2 sg colleagues who had come over to uk for business, and we sat in the french restaurant from the moment it opened till their closing time. we first went in at 5:15pm, only to be politely ushered out and told to return at their opening time of 5:30pm. which we did, after a short stroll and standing outside the shop for 10 min.
sat down at 5:30pm, ordered our food, ate some bread, gossiped some bit and before we knew it, the tables started emptying, and we were the 3rd last table left. that was at 10pm, their closing time!
i really enjoyed myself tonight, in the company of close female frens, doing silly things like taking pics of our appetisers and taking pics of one fren taking pics of another. =P or giggling and gossiping abt pple in the (sg) office blah blah.
another guy was supposed to join us for dinner, but he decided not to. "it's raining, and i have to walk from the bus stop to the restaurant."
sorry, but i found it pretty lame. the rain was hardly more than a very light drizzle, and the walk isnt very long. i personally feel that it was more to do with the dinner being a "go-dutch" affair rather than one which can be charged to the company. or maybe he didnt want to be with 3 girls.
whatever the reason, i spent 12 pounds on dinner, and i feel that every cent was worth it. no such opportunity again in uk........ got to wait till 4 and half mths later. till then, it's back to the work-buy groceries-cook-eat-sleep routine.
