Struck a Chord

Before I post my Italy World Cup success story, I just had to put this first. It is now 6.32pm and I’m at the office. I just handed my work to my senior and as I was walking back to my place to pack things up, I passed by another senior staff, a Chinese woman who was sitting at her desk, intently watching the screen of her ThinkPad. Since it’s after office hours, she was playing some mini computer game, I assume, to pass time by. That wasn’t interesting. What was interesting though was that she was singing. It was ever so softly but since it has become so quiet around the office, I really could hear what she was singing. She went “…Sayangilah diri ini…Belailah jiwa nan sepi…Kelayuan~”
Man, she was singing Bunga-bunga Cinta by Misha Omar and I shit you not. I was so amused I had this smile on my face all the way back to my place. And then, of course, decided to blog it. Damn, man, I had to go check her out again.

(3 minutes later)

Ah demmit, she went home already. I guess that's my cue too. Arriverderci.
