Two of those moments

Two very enjoyable moments that were noteworthy happened last week.

1) It was Saturday morning, my dearie was awoken by the noise that was generated from my computer due to the soccer match that was going on… I told her I was heading to work, and was watching soccer… (which was like any regular conversation we have)

Then her responses thrilled me…. Not one.. but two…

Zing: “What are you doing?”
Me: “Watching soccer, but going to work.”
Zing: “Watching soccer? Did Liverpool win?”
Me: “Yes they did” (So sweet)
Zing: “Did Man Utd lose?”

That was literally a LOL moment… what a dearie I have…

And just for record sake… my reply was: “Not yet, but I hope they will”… and of coz, they did draw a winnable game… too bad chelski did not capitalize.. which is now all academic

2) It was champions’ league night in Europe and Singapore… but it took place too early in the afternoon. Liverpool was taking on Chelski at Stamford Bridge.

And when CKW and CKT kept willing me to go watch the game with the “HOW CAN YOU MISS THE GAME???!?!?!” kinda tone…. I thought about it seriously… and decided that responsibilities comes before my interests… so I decided to give the game a miss… so I thought..

On that fateful day (which happens to be a Wednesday), I went to work as usual. At about 10am, half of the building’s power went out, and as a result, the Internet too. I was thinking… “Darn… I should have stayed at home, now I can’t even check gamecast”… Little did I know… God’s plan is always miraculous… they lifts you up by bringing you down first, and if you trust him enough, he will finally bring you around…

And he did… when we got back from lunch at 1pm, the whole building went dark! And what was to follow was simply amazing… the client’s laptop went dead, and all powers are out… the CFO told everyone to GO HOME!!! How can that ever happen in my life?!?!?! I am getting out… if not going home

The first black out in a long time yielded something fruitful… thank God! My staff was saying, “we have to go back to the office”… then I told her.. “I actually plan to work from home” since there’s “no difference” between the two….

This incident is indeed God-send…. And I got to go back to watch my favorite game… of coz, when my manager heard that, he was none too please… but hell… since this opportunity is God send I should go with it… That only mean that I had to work a little late at home that night. Which suits me too…What a day…
