Lunch Partners

Today was really difficult to get myself out of bed. And when I did get myself up and go to office, it was none stop work all the way till lunch time.

Recently also, I seemed to have change lunch partners. My usual lunch partners have all gone different ways ... The one who got married off to Sri Lanka in December is now pregnant with her first child over there. My partner who sits beside me, is busy with her new found bf, and seems busy with her own crisis between her family & bf.. but anyway, she has another good old buddy who recently joined IBM and they hang out together. Another old lunch buddy has recently developed the liking of ta-pau food from downstairs.. influencing the other 2 girls who sits beside her.

Anyway, so in the end, these days I end up hanging out with my 2 new found friends. It is different hanging out with this 2 people, compared to my usual gang. With the new gang, they seemed to be more knowledgable and the things they talk about whether work related or anything else, it's always interesting and well... feeding me with information. In work, they are always curious and want to learn more about the solutions and products... So they in a way, they educate me also when they do their reading ups. When I go out with my old partners, nobody bothers about the products or solutions.

So far, she seems still ok with the project I gave her to handle. Abit blur, but at least I find out that she is not copying and pasting everything, that she reads and she is aware of what we are proposing. That, I have to give her credit for it. At least with her around, I have 1 less project to worry about, and I feel more at ease to let her handle it.

And then also, my current lunch partners are more out-going and fun also... working life in office is just so boring then we need to spice it up. Like the last time Zach invited us to go 1utama... So many times in the past he invited me & my old buddies out for lunch, but they declined. But with the new partners, they don't mind. They are not fussy with food, and know how to enjoy the precious 1 hour lunch time.

Today also I followed them out to the other section of IBM as one of them needed to go to Bank. At least, it is good that I don't have to lunch in Taman Tun 5 days a week.

Another interesting fact I noticed about my lunch dates.. I find it amazing that his car can have more soft toys then the toys I throw into Eeyore's car. At least I throw only 1 Patrick and 1 Dolphin. This guy's car, he has a koala bear, mashi maro, a doggie tissue box, some cartoon car seat head set, a small cute rubbish bin, 2 small cute furry cushions with cartoon in the middle, and a few soft toys sitting around in the car. Even more amazing is that, b4 I ever saw his car, just his own personality his outlook...he doesn't strike me as a guy who likes soft toys... he doesn't look extra sissy or macho... he just looks like an ordinary guy. With the soft side and passion for collecting toys and miniature...eh...i'm lost for words...those doll like figurins.

I kinda missed my Eeyore now. Last nite he was so cute. While sending me home, on his CD player it was playing "you look beautiful tonite"... he was driving and was stroking my head and singing that phrase "you look beautiful tonite"... hehe, so adorable of him. He really does treat me good 'sometimes'... as in, if I ask him to accompany me go anywhere, like yesterday for a game of squash, he'll come. But of cos, If I don't ask, he won't ask me out either... I have to ask always.

I'm tired...and as Wai Ki Ki said to me before he logged off, I need to rest my brains and charge it up for tomorrow's usage before it goes brain dead.
