January 28

28th January 2011! It's not my birthday, neither is it some festivals nor a holiday. It's just another ordinary, routine working weekday. But sometimes, things work in a funny way and blessings come in the least expected manner.

It's pay day. So what? You deserve to be paid for the job done during the month. What I least expect is the bonus. I have one month plus bonus for doing sufficient (no putting in of extra hours) work. If it's not a windfall, what do you call it? I don't expect to be paid so much, after all I am still a newbie. That's the perk of working in a big company gal!

The second good thing that befalls me on this day is an outing with a very dear friend.....okay, a crush. It's the first time that we go out together, as in only the two of us. But I don't call this a date because he is already seeing someone. But him asking me out for dinner out of the blues definitely made my day (although at a point I had butterflies in my stomach). It turn out pretty platonic, just dinner and catching up as well as reminiscing the good old days. No flirting at all but it's enough because we get the alone time together.

Good things happen when we least expect it. The fruit is always sweeter when we have no expectation at all. What a lovely way to end my January!
