its the rain..

angry loud knocks today woke me up and i completely forgot i had a date in batam. it was raining hard and so shiok was my bed. i figured if it was anyone of the guys, they would have called my mobile if they were stuck without their keys. i never found out who it was because by the time i got to the door there wasn't anyone. i felt quite scared actually and funny that neither dito or gail heard the knocks.

spent the day reading and then cooked dinner. watched teevee and logged off with a salute to the besties. i got teary when i saw photos from yesterdys footie birthday bash for aqil who turned 7. i was the guest referee haha for the boys and games marshall. of course, i was missing the terrors too. it was madagascar the animated movie and the lines reminded me of the kids. espescially the part when alex when "boo~!" hehehehe...terror one likes to say that :D

then kama called to tell me about his adventures in paris. its expensive to call but he does it anyway to check on my shoe size :p ahh...absence does make the heart grow fonder.nuff said already *zippinit*

while munching on dinner i also watched this reality show where where top bosses (COOs, CEOSand the likes) go undercover and do a little spy workon their employees. it piqued curious nature so i watched as this COO of a horse racing company work a day in entry level jobs in company. he turned up as a guy doing a documentary on entry level jobs. so for a week he traded his ties and suits to learn about working as a horse trainer, a cleaner doing the night shift and then also a jockey valet. its was funny when he was described as too slow and aslo teased about not making it by his colleagues. he noted that it was hard workand theseemployees stay on and slug it out for more than just to put food on the table.

most touching part where i cried was when he was learning the ropes to be a valet and had to keep trackof the races reading of the list on a clipboard. it was taking the laundry, polishing boots and then cheering on the jockeys kinda list. then all the while on the clip there was a photo of a young girl on the clip board. mr COO didn't ask who the girl was until at the end of the day the former jocket turned valet told him that it was a picture of his 20 year old daughter who died of a heart complication. he keeps her photo to remind himof her love for horses and dream to be a jockey but died without fufilling her wishes. he said she's his angel now and i bet he had dreams about becoming her valet.

mr. coo then later realised that he was so caught up about the job and was looking at the clipboard all the time without realising that the photo also said, in memorium and listed her birth and death dates. mr. COO regretted very much he didn't notice that something personal about the person he was working with. i obviously by then had snot dripping from my nose.

the show ended on happy notes. all of them received something in return for their show of kindness. the trainer got new stalls for more horses. the front office girl got transferred to marketing to learn the ropes and then the cleaning lady got a raise. ultimate was the valet guy who got a race day named in her memory. the lucky guy will get to award the champion trophy to the race champion *sniff*

so yeah~ my teevee session was sweet.

stay sane,
