It was a damn tiring week.
Counting the days for the event to be over was hellish. I've not experienced such lack of cooperation from another department as this before. Imagine, you are given a task to compile documents into folders but before you could do so, the other parties only provide the materials on the very last day itself. My colleague and I had to stay back until 10somethingpm for 2 days in a row just do prepare the folders.
In addition, they were pretty demanding as main organiser and made my colleague and I run around like personal assistants. I feel like a fool. I have no more to say about the crap that my colleague and I had to go through. I'm just glad it's over. Bracing myself for more crap to come. I can't wait to hit my target. More on that later.
Celebrated my birthday without a bang LOL. It was indeed a quiet affair. Simple and fuss free. I guess I AM getting old.
Spent it first with Pneo 2 days before my actual day, with dinner at Chili's at 1Utama. The prices in the menu had gone up but at least the portion seem reasonably compensated for. Was stuffed as stuffed turkey.
I have to add this lar Pneo (and I know you wanna read this babes *grin*).
Just as we finished our meal a (very) young waitress came to clear the plates. I could not help but noticed how this lass had been eyeing Pneo right from the start. I found this rather amusing as she had not 1 second looked at me to ask if I was done. She kept smiling the whole minute clearing Pneo's plate and occasionally glanced at him. I kid you not. I was watching her.
Once she was done clearing (only Pneo's plates) and was about to leave, he asked for the bill. She went off with the same coy smile. She passed us and then came back to ask if I wanted mine cleared. The instant she took the plates I asked for a drink refill. She looked at Pneo again to confirm the order when it was I who made the order. How is that not obvious that she was so looking for his approval. *wink*
Let me tell you readers that I was not at all annoyed but I want to tell you that Pneo did not believe me one bit when I told him this situation. LOL! He didn't think he was attractive enough to make that young girl all shy and focusing her attention on him. But I think you are babes.
I was telling him different people have different kinds of attractiveness and that draws different kinds of people to be attracted to them. Nothing wrong with that. But until today Pneo is still in denial and it still amuses him that such a thing could happen. Why?! I don't know but this whole thing just made you more adorable.
(That doesn't mean you go and experiment further on this okay.)
My ex-colleague just gave birth to a baby girl the same day I had the dinner with Pneo. Remember Su that I was joking maybe baby might be born on the same day as me? Hehehe. Well close enough :) Hope you will recover steadily and all the best for this 3 weeks with baby before we meet up.
And I have one comment to make about old or senior citizens. At whatever age they are, when they find that there are a lot of things that they cannot do like they used to, they are in denial and don't want to listen others. They get all grumpy and want to fight back but will feel bad right after and look rather pitiful because they realised too late that it was silly. It's like they have some pride or ego or what people would call second childhood. I guess they cannot help it because they have reached a point where they feel they may become "invalid" and that means not being able to do things their way anymore. That other people will take over their routines and invade into their space. I believe it's a learning process for the generations living under one roof to compromise and relearn some routines.
I'm going through that right now.
No, I'm not the "invalid" one!
I meant my mum and my grandma. My grandma is here for a visit and today I witnessed with a different perspective how those two have changed over the years in terms of their relationship with each other. The latter seems more kind and less picky on the former while the former is now less defensive of the latter. Kind of cool. But the both of them are now fighting to see who can still do certain things in the house when what I see is both are unable to do anything well at their current state. One has a bad backache the other is too old.
Wonder if maybe you and I will become like that some day.
