..accidentally..

Berlin, 26 September 2006
Fasanenstrasse 22, Restaurant’s Balcony..

It’s 6:11 in the evening, and the weather is nice. I just checking my email, while enjoying a cup of cafe latte.. I really enjoy every moment I spent in this wonderful city. I love watching people here, watching people doing their activities while I’m only spectator for them. Just can not realize that, I’m on this position now. Not doing my usual activities.. 🙂
Hmm.. what’s new from me ? I met this cute German guy today. Hehehe, accidentally.. 🙂 He’s already late going to work, and when he tried catching the train he’s accidentally bump into me. Well, I stand in front of train’s door. And when he tried to enter the train, he’s accidentally bump into me and then he (accidentally) spilled his coffee in my jeans.. 🙁 Not a very good start for me really.. But it turn nice btw.. He said sorry in Germany.. Which, the language that I don’t understand.. 🙁 I said to him that I can not understand Germany, and I don’t understand what he tried to say to me. And then he tried to speak English to me. Thank God.. 🙂

We took that long walk in Berlin..

Finally I arrived in Berlin.. After 12 hours (more) flights.. 🙁 Oh well, actually I arrived yesterday. But I felt soo tired, and I decided to take a very nice sleep. I slept 12 hours just to regain my fit condition..

We stay in Augusta Hotel, exactly in the heart of Berlin. Near Kurfurstendamn, (near shopping center.. :D) hehehe.. Well, shopping is not my main goal here in Berlin. Hehe.. 😉 Btw, this hotel is quite nice. We got room that has balcony.. 🙂 So we can see the street from our room. There is also wi-fi connection in the hotel, not in the room exactly, but in the restaurant. So I can connect using my father laptop, and we can serve ourself with 24 hours coffee maker in the restaurant. The coffee maker, make a very nice latte btw.. hehehe..;)

My First Dinner Party..

Yesterday, I had dinner invitation from my client who is in the same team with me. His name is Nigel. And he is from New Zealand. He and his wife, Sam, invited me, Christine and also Bow. They invited us to have dinner in their apartment in Fraser.

When we first arrived, Nigel introduced us to his wife. Her name is Sam. And she is really nice and also really eager to served us with her cuisine.. 🙂 At first, we just chat in the living room. They prepared it very well, the place. They put candles everywhere and also they adjusted the light. It makes the atmosphere more cozy and intimate also. The music is also very nice. Mixed of Jazz and Latin. I never attended something like that before. I used to see it in the movies, but never experienced it. So I assume that was my first experienced. Haha.. grown up people stuff.. 🙂
