Last Friday, my technical manager asked me to see him. And in his room, he was showing me some pricing on a software that the department needed. So he asked me to phone this person whose company was selling this product. So I took the name of the person and her phone number. I phoned her and asked her to come over on Monday to discuss about the pricing. She had this really old-person's name.
So, yesterday the person came to discuss about the product. Lo and behold, it was an old face from the past. It was a friend of my friends. So when I saw her, I said, "It's you. I thought it was someone else. I didn't know you name was ...". She smiled and said, "Yup, it's me". So after we agreed on the user license and the product that my department needed, I casually asked her whether she was married or not, since she was sort of cute and petite.
Then she answered, "I'm still single. Why? Do you have somebody to introduce to me?". Well, that was an invitation to match her with my friend, if ever I saw one. So I said, "Well, that is someone I would like you to meet. I have a picture of him in (a famous community website)". So I showed her the picture and said that he is extremely tall. I even stood beside her and put my hand a couple of inches above my head and said, "He's about this tall". To which she said, "Wow. I like tall men. And he's cute too. Do send him my regards".
So, I got her handphone number and passed it to my friend. Hope everything goes well.

Happy Birthday, Daughter!
Happy Belated Birthday to my daughter who just turned 1 on Saturday. Celebrated at my mum's house. She invited all the guests except for my best buddies, which I took the liberty to invite. We started the morning with my daughter and I sending my beloved to school on that Saturday morning. Then went straight to my mum's house to prepare for the party. My colleague came to my mum's house to bring the cake she baked for the party. Around noon, we picked up my beloved and headed home to prepare for the party.
The party went great. Everyone came expect for two people on the guest list. It was fun. I think my beloved and me had a greater time than my daughter. Heheheh. The presents were fantastic. I don't think we had them when I was her age. My beloved and I were enthusiastic about opening her presents, and opened them while she was sound asleep. Thanks so much for the presents.
Saw 'She's The Man', courtesy of my niece. Starring Amanda Bynes. She's so funny. And the movie's hilarious. I mean, I just love the way she acted in the movie. This is no 'I'm a cute lil' princess' kind of movie. She is just so natural. I love it. Thanks, niece. I really enjoyed the movie.

Last night, went to the premier of 'Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix' at Midvalley's GSC courtesy of my sister-in-law. Thank you, sis-in-law. Got there around 7.45pm with my best buddy and stood around waiting for the tickets, since it was still with my sister-in-law. Saw some adults wearing the witch's hat and cape and holding a broomstick.
The movie itself wasn't bad but I preferred the previous Harry Potter series. I was sitting in the middle of my best buddy and my sister-in-law's brother-in-law. And as soon as the movie started, both of them fell into a deep slumber. My sis-in-law's bro-in-law was snoring contently next to me while my best buddy was out of it for half of the movie. I was wide awake throughout the whole movie. Not to say that it was that interesting, but it wasn't boring either.
After the movie, we drove home and my best buddy spent the night at our place, since we were dead tired. By the time we got home, my beloved and daughter was fast asleep.

Happy belated Birthday to my Beloved!!! We had dinner at our favourite restaurant and bought a new pinstripe pants for her. But that's not her main birthday present, though. Her main birthday present is still not in the market yet. Though in one website, somebody alleged bought one. Can't be sure, though. Before we went to the restaurant, got her a cake and had a few slices before dinner. It was fun.
Am currently reading Haruki Murakami's 'Norwegian Wood'. This is the umpteenth time for me. 'Norwegian Wood' is a fairly early work by Murakami, first published in Japan in 1987. It was also his most resounding success there, a phenomenal bestseller. It was translated into English, by Alfred Birnbaum, but that edition was basically only made available in Japan itself. Now, finally, the book appears in an authorized translation by Jay Rubin.
The Beatles song from which the book takes its title echoes throughout the novel, the melancholy tune and sentiment imbuing the work. The novel begins with a brief introductory chapter in which the 37 year old narrator, Toru Watanabe, once again hears the song, a "sweet orchestral cover version" this time. It reminds him of his life almost twenty years earlier, and the rest of the book retells the events of those times.

Lady in the Water
On Saturday, beloved had to work so it was just me and the little girl. We planned to just spend time at home, but since her grandmother insisted I bring her to her grandmother's house, we obliged. After that, went to my colleague's housewarming party. We arrived about the same time as all the other married couples. So we were passing around babies, and asking the usual questions, "What can he/she do now?", "Can he/she walk yet?", "How many teeth does he/she have?". It was fun because we got to see everyone's babies.
After that went to my parents house for dinner. Then my aunty and her daughters came, so it was like a party. After having eaten our fill, we left for home.
On Sunday, went to the usual dvd place and changed 'Shrek3' to 'Lady in the Water' by M. Night Shyamalan. It's quite a good movie, actually. An apartment building superintendent Cleveland Heep (Giamatti) rescues what he thinks is a young woman from the pool he maintains. When he discovers that she is actually a character from a bedtime story who is trying to make the journey back to her home, he works with his tenants to protect his new friend from the creatures that are determined to keep her in our world. A very interesting movie.
