It's a new day!

Good Morning Good Morning!

Woke up today thinking "is it Friday yet?" then flopping back into bed reminding myself "it's thursday, one more day to the weekend"

Work has been hectic, as it heats up towards accreditation, there are brochures to be printed and displayed, folders to be made for "show and tell", minutes to be hurriedly written, policies to be signed with immediate effect... in short, it's last minute. work hasn't been very fun lately cos everyone's stressed and worried that some major screw up will happen, people are unhappy with each other, blah blah... you know the works.

Last evening we were at L'oriental for dinner with Oliver who was here for the week. Oliver is Matt's co-worker (apparently, they don't quite like to use the term colleague here) based in London. Don't know whether i've told you guys before, Orbis House in London is right smack in central London, like 2 steps away from Oxford Street/Circus. If ever i get a job there, i think i'll be very very very poor from all the shopping i'll do. *winks* So we met up for dinner at L'oriental which is like one of the best Asian restaurant on the island. I say Asian because it serves thai (pad thai/curry)/ cantonese (siew mai/har kow)/ shanghainese (dumplings)/ japanese (sushi/sashimi), and the service staff (another politically correct term instead of waiters/waitresses) are mostly filipinos. Anyway, the staff got Oliver's order of fresh oysters wrong, twice (i swear it's the loud music plus the intermittent clanging noises the teppanyaki chefs make as part of their "show"). Other than that, the sushi roll i ordered was good but i really do miss sakae and sushi tei back home for the variety. here it's just makimono, nigiri and sashimi. (and mind you, some people do think that's all we eat in Asia ok *roll eyes*)

It's a treat to have dinner outside on a week night. Usually, we head home for some simple meal before collapsing on the bed to snooze. So thanks to Oliver, we had the perfect excuse for a night out.
