January 28, 2001 - Sunday
I'm presently watching an interview with Meryl Streep and it's darn interesting.
It's so nice to see a very intelligent woman who has succeeded in her profession..not
the most beautiful woman but incredibly talented.
So, I slept in very late again. It was wonderful! I think I'd like to take a week
off and just sleep! I bet I could do it.
When I finally did get up, I did my laundry and watched a bit of TV. I figured out
how to use my liquid detergent bottle...it's only been 2 months that I've had it!
I tidied up a bit, but I have to do the remainder tomorrow. Sigh. It's been a while
since I straightened up my apartment, and it really needs it now.
Around 4 I decided to shower and get ready for the party. I left around 6:00 and
walked to my office. I had left my Japanese book there yesterday, so I had to get
it. I retrieved it then I headed to the train station.
I arrived at the mall at 7:00 so I walked very quickly to the restaurant. I was about
10 minutes late and everyone was already seated. Oh well. I was fashionably late!
The food was great. We had samosas, salad, tandori chicken, sausage, nan, and wonderful curries. Yum.
I was very lucky. I got lots of presents. I wasn't expecting any actually, but did
quite well. I got movie tickets, a photo album, a cup and some tea, a glass, some
handkerchiefs, flowers, chocolates, and a cd carry pack. There was also a sign
with my name on it in hiragana that some students made for me and a beautiful card book,
but I'm not exactly sure what it is yet.
After dinner 6 of us went to karaoke. It was fun. I got to sing the new Ricky Martin
song "She-Bangs". That was a hoot. I also tried a Britney Spears...Oops I did it
again, which was difficult. I wanted to sing it faster than the words. I did an
Andy Gibb song that I heard in the covered mall a few days ago. Michiyo sang "Saturday
Night" which was great. Usually I do all the Bay City Rollers stuff.
When our two hours were up we ended the party and I was home before midnight. It
was a great day and I really enjoyed myself at the party. It was nice. It wasn't
a high stress party at all, just nice. Good food, nice people, great music...Yeah!
Later eh!
