Just one of those weeks..

You know how it is... it's just one of those times when things don't run as smoothly as you expect. It was quite an OK week except for one or two incidences.

On Wednesday, phone decided to commit suicide by plunging itself into a bowl of water. No prizes for guessing where it is... It was quickly rescued and dried by owner who was NOT going to spend more money on another mobile just yet. But phone stayed unresponsive after being thoroughly dried. Owner sends out SOS for a temp phone, but later discovers that phone actually works - battery had been irreversibly damaged. Aahh... so des ka? Replacement batts were found and now phone works just fine... Yeaa... clap clap clap...

Today was the most annoying, kot. Actually forgot to bring laptop adapter, so machine dies after 2 hours, and I was forced to work on boss' relic which served as the office backup. Had to surf without my comfortable little settings in place and had to setup Jaring so that I could do my work. Left as soon as I decently could. Blah!

But night was nice. Went back and threw together a fudge cake for gathering at Jarina's, but forgot to put in soaked raisins. It turned out perfectly well though. The gathering turned out to be a mini food fair with reheated keropok, cake, buah salak imported from Bali (they were REALLLY good), sandwiches, teh Jawa, pizza and chips & ....bread? with the most excellent salsa I had ever had. Oh, there was a cheese dip too, but they were nowhere as good as the salsa. The Frenchies Cyril, Pierre, Agnes and Emilie brought drinks (Pepsi, not wine)

Salsa Recipe: According to Aida, it was just tomatos, cilantro, salt and a dash of lemon juice. Aida, correct me if I'm wrong, ya? But the results were fantastic! (Notice anyone raving here?)

Dear Yanti did the honours with photos and projector. At ten thirty or so, the French quartet left for another party and we gurls had a bonanza time chatting and digging up Jarina's secrets. 5 girls representing 4 all-girl schools; reminiscing on the excellent teachers we had then, and the failure to induce passion and interest for any field by the current system. Oh that was so much fun...! Let's do it again sometime...
