Cool On The Exterior, Warm Within
Pitter Patter

It started raining pitter patter this afternoon. I groaned inwardly, thinking that it would be a hassle getting home if the rain were to continue in such intensity. What was most interesting though, was my colleague's exclamation that it was raining in her cubicle. Literally.
Cozily cooped up in a little shophouse, our charming little office next to the river was under siege. By H2O. Defense mechanisms in the form of clay pots were dispensed in a hurry but it wasn't until the rain stopped that we won the battle. Our biggest fear was that all the rain water running amok would short circuit our electricity.
My 2nd day at work so far and it looks like the days ahead will be packed with activities. The folks are nice but I've been inhaling a little more 2nd hand smoke than necessary. If I ever end up on that cold slab in the morgue, you guys know what happened. Heh.
I'm youngest on the team once again but it seems that I will have lots to learn and pick up along the way. No vices hopefully!
As the days to BKK draws near, I am filled with increasing anticipation. Finally we will be going! Finally finally finally... =) Even I was surprised by the lack of disapproval I faced when I broke the news, after the sumptuous meal I prepared. But of coz, I ain't complaining.
