We were at Italiannese yesterday. KW is going back to Australia this weekend, so it was more like a farewell dinner for him. All three of us have never eaten there before, so we decided to give it a go, though CF is not really a fan of Italian food.
To show how much he likes Italian, he seriously wanted to order a steak or lamb chop. In an Italian restaurant!
Food was quite good. I didn’t bring my camera, so can’t show you the pictures here. There was a girl with us too – GL.
We had a great time making lots of jokes and sexual innuendos, especially since we ordered spaghetti with meat balls. The meat balls were huge; they were almost as big as golf balls.
“How do the balls taste like?”
“Hmm, a little too salty.”
Anyway, tomorrow is my job interview and I will be taking the day off. Haven’t been to an interview for almost two years, so I would need to do some reading and preparation.
Though CF wishes that I don’t get the job, but I believe he knows that it’s something I want and it will be good for me. Why, it will be good for the both of us actually. Not just pay-wise, but also my marketability in the international job market.
Which reminds me. There will be three trainees joining my organization for their vacation training – two guys and a girl. Naturally, I was chosen (again!) to be the girl’s mentor - teaching her stuff, bringing her out for lunch, answering her queries, etc.
In other words, a matchmaking attempt by my colleagues.
Sigh.
Seems like they forgot what happened last year. Or maybe they are really determined to see me get a girlfriend, if it's the last thing they do.
There was a girl trainee last year too and I was assigned the same responsibilities. Of course, I was not too keen and couldn’t even be bothered. I only took her out for lunch twice in the eight weeks that she was in the office.
Needless to say, it would have been more frequent if it was a cute guy.
And I am sure CF will not approve of me doing it this this, assuming the two guys are cute. ;P

Gee. Now I'm not sure whether or not to wish you good luck for the interview.
But good luck anyway :)
Maybe you get the girl trainee because women find it easier to talk to you, lar. ;oD
Grilled beefsteak is an Italian regional dish, btw - in Florence and/or Tuscany, I think. It ain't all pasta there, y'know.
Hope you enjoy the interview. It's all good experience, whether you get this particular job or not.
Good Luck in your interview. I know how CF feels abt you going for the Interview, but take heart that he wants and knows whats best for you.
Good luck and hey, enjoy your trainnee.. I am sure it's nice if ppl make you tea and stuff in the office. ;)
Salty balls ?! LOL ! I absolutely LOVE Italian food. I'll take pasta over rice any day !!
Good luck for the interview, Derek. Surely, CF will understand a man's need to further his career, right.

OK, so we want to know how the interview went. Hurry up! Can CF retire now and live like a tai-tai like Spot?
weeshiong: You should. Thanks, ws. ;P
hrugaar: No really, I know for sure that my colleagues are setting me up. ;P
Oh, and I did enjoy the interview.
anonymous: Yeah, I know he's being supportive, even though reluctantly.
ça va pas la tête: They are trainees, dear, not tea ladies/boys.
But still, yeah, they probably can do that for me occasionally. LOL
akihisa: Yup, CF knows alright. He's been supportive and all.
keatix: Not that far, but ain't near either. Just down south. ;P
