• The Beautiful Woman...

  
  Don't you hate it when you wake up at 5am in the morning in hopes of getting some productive study done, and you find yourself on facebook, youtube and then updating your xanga blog?
  
  okay, maybe it's just me. -_-
  
  
  Yesterday i had an interesting day at work. As some of you may or may not know, i work at a law firm one day a week in the city. What's interesting about where i work (Mackenzie & Goldstein Legal), is that all the lawyers and solicitors there are korean. Every one of them. And all the clients are korean too. I remember the first day i arrived, one of the solicitors greeted me in korean. anyonghaseyo!
  
  i was like..umm.. hi !
  
  Also, the floor of our building is occupied by koreans (our office is next to a Saesoon church office)  So i find it slightly amusing how im probably the only one working on the floor who isnt korean. But it's okay, my boss says i look korean so that's good enough. hahaha
  
  Anyway, yesterday i overhead one of our senior partners of the firm was talking about some clients coming in for appointments. Then between all the korean (which i cant understand) i picked out 'beautiful woman' as he talked. I was thinking.. what? what beautiful woman?
  
  About half an hour later, i found myself dozing off. Our boss had taken us out to lunch, which he does every week, and i ate way too much (which i tend to do when the food is free).  So there i sat at my desk, feeling all nicely stuffed and noticing how comfortable my padded leather chair was.
  
  Then... ZZZzzzzzzzz
  
  Hahahaha, oh crap. Luckily, i snapped out of my little nap when a client arrived. It was mainly because both our senior law partners walked past my desk and came out to greet her. So my attention was diverted to our client and then *jaw drop* i tried to hide my grin, because suddenly it all clicked. I must admit, our client was really quite the 'beautiful woman' lolol  I swear, our whole office was secretly googling at her.
  
  About 20mins later, 'beautiful woman' had left.. and again i found my eyelids alittle heavy. Most of the lawyers had also left the office to go to court.
  
  Then one of the senior partners called me into his room.
  
  I was thinking uh oh... why does he want to talk to me? Am i in trouble? Is it because i fell asleep? omg, im gonna get in trouble because he saw me fall asleep!!!
  
  Anyway, the conversation when something like this:
  
  Boss: Patrick..
  
  Me: yes?
  
  Boss: Can i ask you..
  
  Me: Mmm?
  
  [Pause]
  
  Boss: How much do you think i weigh?
  
  Me: Errrrr (LOL, i was thinking.. what? so random. hahaha)
  
  Me: I have no idea.. 80kg??
  
  Boss: Really? Do you think im fat?
  
  Me: Haha, nooooo.. of course not. You look very fit.
  
  Boss: *laughs* hmm, how much do you weigh? 70?
  
  Me: oh yea, im around 70 (lie, im actually more like 63kg..lol)
  
  Boss: Ahh, yes. You are quite tall.. you should be more heavy.. eat more.
  
  Me: Yeahh i should.
  
  [feeling really confused at this point]
  
  Boss: Okay, so you dont think im fat right?
  
  Me: No, you're normal.
  
  Boss: *looks at his stomach* Okay, thank you Patrick.
  
  
  LOL, what was that?!?! How random. I bet you 'beautiful woman' made my boss suddenly so self-conscious. Ahh, what a funny guy.. xD
  
  
  
  Anyway, i'll end this post with a picture of hyori.. in keeping with my korean theme. :)
