Birthday

Happy Birthday To Me.

I had one of the most nicest date ever last week. I got to know this 45 year old Australian guy who works for ExxonMobil Singapore office as one of their department heads. Apparently, he just tendered his resignation after working for the company for 24 years and based in Singapore for the past 7 years. He decided to take a break from work and just relaxed for the next few years. 

Anyway, I went over his house which he has been renting for the past few years with a flatmate. The house is a freaking 2-storey terrace with a basement. It was a simple decor with nice huge furnitures. He cooked dinner for me, which was roasted beef with mushroom risotto and vanilla rice pudding for dessert and accompanied by red wine. It was freaking delicious and we watched 'Horrible Bosses' while cuddling up next to each other. In between all that, I had one of the most exhilarating conversation on a date ever. He was really smart and thoughtful, we could switched between topics easily from his career to my studies, our respective industries, the latest books and political / world news.

It's almost impossible for me to find someone who could really talk about random topics the way that my mind works. For the first time in a long while, I was really excited. To top it off, he is quite muscular and cuddly. It was one of the nicest and simplest date ever. The downside to it, he's flying off to Melbourne on the 19th, so I'm not really expecting anything other than us having great conversations. We have been texting every now and then and so far, it has been really nice. So, I'm just happy with the way things are now.

Working at Kinokinuya for the past 1 month has been quite nice. It is tiring to just stand for 4 hours straight before I get the chance to sit down but other than that, it feels freaking nice to be surrounded by books. The ability to not give a crap about anything else other than just being interested in all the books down there is one of the best and simplistic feeling ever.
