Inside your head

Why do things that seem so complex inside my head appear so trivial – once penned on paper.

n How was your weekend?? ;)

The weekend has officially ended – since I started typing this entry just as the clock struck 00:00. And it has been a heck of a weekend at that! Friday started off as any other Friday – you know the usual, dinner, movie, NO alcohol, and back home! Saturday tra la la was spent updating the resume – and then grocery shopping for the dinner I was going to cook with WJ (whack job) for our friends. Yes – I must have been drunk when I got the idea, but I did and I figured, hey, lets cook Thai food and invite everyone over. And WJ, sweetheart that she is, was equally excited about the idea and agreed to help! Train2, the other sweetheart came as we were short on hands! So the 3 of us clicked photos and chopped and washed and boiled and sautéed and out comes : mango salad, green curry, rice, coconut rice, fried noodles, tom yam soup, and tapioca dessert! And to top it off, Thampiman & Malluboy 3 brought fruit cocktail and ice cream for dessert! Mean brought le wine and Anshul brought me half of Candy Empire. (I’m not kidding – it’s in my fridge) All in all, tons of food, most of my favorite people and yum yum! I am amazed that people survived the meal – no one to my knowledge had to get their stomach pumped or go to the doc!

I stumbled in bed sometime after 1230 and I had to wake up at 615 am! Say what? Yes – because I had signed up for the Women’s 10km run and run, I did! With a not so great, but respectable time considering I haven’t trained much, and a cute red sports jersey, I was very pleased with myself. Then I spent an odd 6 hours at the office with a couple of my colleagues, working away! Yes, on a Sunday! Yes, its God’s day and I had to work! So 3 of us, the 3 youngest in the organization worked for a good part of the Sunday and continued to do so after reaching home!

So that was a weekend packed with activities: resume, travel bookings, 10km run, work, chores at home!

The post has no point, obviously, except that I wanted to capture the weekend and stash it away to re-read on days when morale lies in the dumps! Because I see such days coming up in the next 3-4 weeks! Sigh sigh! One thing at a time!

Oh, and I’m going to Bangkok on a business trip in 3 weeks time! Tra la la!

I just soaked my oh – so – sore feet in warm salt water and suddenly I can feel the fatigue from the weekend taking over every muscle of my body! Ouch and ouch! It’s finally time to call it a day – before I realize I’ve forgotten something I had to do!

This is a Non Post

So, it’s been decided. I’ll be spending this x-mas and new year’s freezing, making snow angels, drinking, and shopping with the boy, and then more drinking, trash talking, gossiping, and shopping with the best gf! If all goes well, I’ll be in London and then Glasgow (and maybe throw in Edinburgh) this X-mas! *fingers crossed*

Tickets have been sourced and I’ll give the genie a swipe this weekend! The parents have been pacified – they are not pleased at all. But they’re learning to live with it. I guess. I think I’ll throw in a surprise visit to parents to ease the guilt (not).

Phew. Am I glad that that’s out of the way!

Next! Studying has gone to the dogs. And I can’t get myself to study the regulatory bodies in the UK. Mergers. Acquisitions. Competition. Blah blah blah.

Last weekend was very low key and so I shall make up this weekend. Tomorrow is a night out with the friends at work, because J-Sq is in town! And we love him. My special affection towards him stems from the trip to manila where he drove me around in his sexy BMW n took me somewhere fancy! There would be good food and lots of booze and hopefully much dancing.

Saturday evening is booked for a birthday party at the beach! Fancy food, the beach and Ajay. Expectations are – being totally drunk, soaked, and indulging in silli-ness!

Tipsy’s having a house party at her place too and I’d hate to miss it! n I’d hate to miss the birthday party! And argh! Why oh why! Why does everything happen on the same night!

A friend from RIS is going to be in town for a week so there should be a mini – reunion coming up as well! Too much socializing!!

And I lost my chain of thought since I started watching West Wing in the middle and left this post hanging…

This is a non – post.
