The chocolate bars brought in by the vendor last week. I shared it all out to the team in the review meeting when I was passed it, without realising that the engineer had specifically gotten the whole box for me. It was much later did C* told me so. I hope I had not appeared as if I had belittled the thought.

On the contrary, I was so glad the bar that I reserved for myself had saved me from my hunger pang and satisfied my chocolate craving in the afternoon....

A little dinner date with the Rainbow guys. It was kinda fun seeing the guys flirt with the service lady behind the macaroon counter.  Between the three of us, we got to degust six macaroons of different flavors, and two servings of cakes after dinner (which ain't exactly health food either). The chat topics were pretty random. We expounded nothing in depth, but it was just the same enjoyable, partly because the guys are the type who shared the same tastebuds as me. We enjoyed the gourmet burgers, and we loved our dessert. The sugar fix had me so hyper, I am going to be kept awake the whole night...

I really am glad for the company.

A good lunch with the team.
Lotsa fun and delicacies.
A little perk to my otherwise mundane everyday life.

Finding my blue bottle. This was a Christmas gift perhaps about 10 years old. (I really am bad at keeping time.)  To me, it is an emblem of the happy times I have spent with a certain group at a certain point of my life. We hanged out almost every weekend. I remember that W* had bought each of us a bottle of the same design, but he did not leave it to us to randomly choose what we like. He had acutely observed the colours we'd each like. I appreciate the thoughtfulness, and this is the exact color I would have chosen if given any choice. That said, it is obvious that I do place a lot of sentimental value on this bottle.  

Imagine my horror when I found it missing en route dinner after the captain's ball session last evening. I almost lost my soul when my colleague J* (whom I frantically called, and was still in the lab then) told me that it was not in my cube.

C* was nice to offer to drive me back to the office after dinner and a visit to E*'s new home. I thought it unnecessary, but my mind was a blank throughout the evening.

What joy then, when in the morning, I received a whatsapp message from C* (He comes into the office earlier than anyone of us) , with a photo of my blue bottle sitting pretty in my cube.

*Happy Tuesday!*
