Out of office

I was out of office today and what a relief it is. No calls from clients, no presentations, no appointments, and most especially no boss. I was nice to get out of the office on a weekday. Our team had a planning session today, re-assessed our c-base, analyzed things that we still need to do to improve our KPIs, shared some sales practices etc. We also had the chance to bond over dips and chips and over lunch at HUE [a Vietnamese restaurant]. In the afternoon, we continued to do more of the planning session at a cafe inside PowerBooks. And Kim treated us for some coffee and desserts.

Afterwards, we went window-shopping and fitted some swimsuits. Good thing the swimsuit I like was expensive, so I wasn’t tempted to by it. But still I was not spared of my Shopaholic instincts because I bought a CD of Smooth Escapes [The Very Best of D’Sound]. It includes my favorite songs of the band: Talkin’ Talk, Tattooed on my Mind, Do I Need A Reason and People are People. I’m actually listening to it as I write this post... and its pretty cool. A relaxing jazz sound at the end of the day is always such a pleasure.

Meet up with Adrian early in the evening and we watched Wedding Date with Debra Messing and Dermot Mulroney. It was an ok movie not as funny as I was expecting it to be. Debra's acting is not also that amusing either. She acts better as "Grace" in Will & Grace than in this movie. Though I should say the soundtrack is pretty good since they featured, The Corrs "Breathless" at the beginning of the film and "Home" by Michael Buble near the end of the film. A must see if you're a Will and Grace fan.
