Weekend Story

My weekend story started on Friday evening, after the office hour.

1st story: I need a girl!

Michael offered me a ride since he wanted to go to the travel agent in the city. He's one of my colleagues who's going to leave the company next month (as result of the company merger..), and he's planning to take leaves he still has to go to Jaba, an island somewhere on earth.. (I forget again where it is exactly)

Anyway.. I think he's currently in the situation where he needs a girl, to be his gf (not to be his wife, for sure..). This conclusion is based on my observation.
First, everytime he told about his new job, he always said that there's no girls in the team.
Second, he often asked me about my housemate.. (it's kinda weird.. because he doesn't know Katrin, I only told him about her.. and ok, showed her picture..)
Third, he asked about my bf..? he..
Fourth, he asked me whether I would like to accompany him for the vacation.. HEE??
Last, he asked me if I would like to go for drinking with him.
Well, too bad.. I wasn't in a good mood.. Once is enough for me.
He definitely needs a girl. Man.. find somewhere, bitte..
But before that perhaps he should leave his parents first.. :p

2nd story: my boot and Takumi noodle

Saturday morning. Ok, it's not morning actually, it's noon.
The weather was bad.. cold, windy and raining.
I went to Düsseldorf for windows shopping.. just want to check some stuffs there, and tried my boot.

About the boot, I bought it few months ago, but rarely wore it. Only one time, to the office, and Marc stared at my boot.
It's not too big actually, but it still looked big :(
I felt like wearing giant shoes.. and really hope no one noticed.
But it's not that bad for bad weather.. it kept my feet dry.

About Takumi noodle.
I found this Japanese restaurant after I saw long line at Naniwa (although it's already 3 pm.. ckck..) then I decided to go somewhere else to eat.
Actually I'm not a big fans of Japanese noodle. But dunno why, everytime I'm in Duesseldorf it's like no other choice than to eat Japanese food. So I ate noodle at Takumi.
Takumi is also a small restaurant like Naniwa, but it has a lot of Japanese writings everywhere on the wall.. about the menu, food, drinks, or whatever I don't know.
So, since it's the first time for me to eat there, I asked the waiter (he's Japanese). What is the special menu from this resto? First he said: noodle.. OK, which noodle? And he pointed to a black board in front of me which has Japanese writing on it. OK.. I think I cannot read Japanese, can I?
Then I looked at him like a stupid person. He expected me to understand Japanese??? Mann..
And then he only said, "ooh.. sorry, no picture.." :P
So I asked him to describe what they put on the noodle. And he forgot also the German word for that thing, so he asked first his friend.. :D
At last, I gave up. I said, "ok, just let me know which one from these noodle (written on the menu) tastes the best. You choose." And he chose another one, not from the list I asked..
A bowl of rice, some fried boneless chicken, and a BIG bowl of noodle with a GIANT spoon.. :P
Too bad I didn't bring my camera..
I left the resto with fully stomach, smelly cloth+jacket, and sleepy..

My question: why Japanese noodle is always served in a big portion? (with big bowls..)
Do Japanese people always eat a lot? (I saw a Japanese woman sitting next to me ate even bigger portion than my noodle..)
I'm wondering..

3rd story: Jogging and catch a cold

Sunday was cold. It's like in winter again.
Katrin wanted to go for jogging, so I joined her. Only one round, and I gave up.. My jacket was too thin, and my ear hurted. It was damn cold.. :((
As a result: catch a cold.
Be careful with the weather..

Later in the afternoon, I biked to the city for sight seeing. Today the stores were opened.
Got a fleece-jacket and shoes for my mom.. and 2 slices of champagne chocolate cake from Heinemann, the best backery in this area.. one for me and one for Katrin.
We both agree that it's okay to buy this kind of cakes sometimes.. because it's not something that we could make by ourselves.
For me personally, I just try to enjoy my life while I can..
