...a time to REMEMBER...

After a coup d’oeil of my schedule yesterday, I found out that I would have a schedule at night, a dinner with my newly found friends here in my place. With no hesitations, I did all my stuff at work to finish earlier that I could prepare for it, ‘cause being with friends is one of my best moments in life, for I do value friendship a lot.

While in the mid of doing my job, my phone beeped, a message from one that goes, “Don’t forget our dinner tonight. I’ll pick you up at 5:30 at your gate. See you later!” t'was from Jim. I was reminded again. I smiled while reading it and thought, they really are good friends. I was excited for my first dinner with these people I met a week ago, in the English Corner, established by the foreign teachers in my place. Then, I continued my work.

5:30 came and I was picked up from my workplace by one with car, I thought, but he didn't drive I guess that time. Actually, he again texted me that he was at the gate, 5:20. I hastened down ‘cause I don’t want him to wait for a long time.

We made a great chat for we were early in coming to the restaurant. He asked me about my life and I did the same way. A little later, he showed me to his workplace just directly on the 5Th floor of the building, a law firm with 21 lawyers including himself. I was shocked as I entered his big office. He toured me around the firm and went down a short while after. In few minutes afterwards, the others came, Steven, a Canadian guy, Wendy, a lady who just returned from her trip to the US and Canada, a business trip and two more lovely ladies, Linda, a foreign expert bureau officer and Sarah, a law firm secretary.

I was a little hungry that time. With no further falterings, we ordered our dinner. I amazingly appreciated the beauty of the dishes served to us. Magnificent decors around them highlighted the grandeur of the mouth-watering food. It made me feel hungry the more. Then, we savored the food until we were stuffed. We were delighted with the dinner we had. Red wine also cheered our momentous night. We ended up 9:20 and parted ways. I absolutely had a great time with my new friends. It was really a time to be remembered...

I wish you all do too. Thanks for your time… Everything happens for a reason…
