I notice that I have been dining my way to dinners for some special occasions recently. It seems to be a good time to eat and be lazy for a while. A moment to enjoy good food as well as to celebrate the joys of some special occasions.

I was invited to a luxurious buffet dinner at the Shangri-La hotel last Wednesday. One of my highly-respected friends has found a high-paying job after resting for a few months. My friend and I were feeling excited about it and were pestering our dear friend to give us a good treat for getting a new job.

Luckily, she was generous enough to let us choose wherever we wanted to go. So, we chose the high-class place to have our dinner and celebrate for her. This is the first time that I had been to the Shangri-La hotel. I enjoyed the cosy environment and the fine food over there. Besides enjoying the good food, we were chatting, laughing and throwing out our frustrations about our jobs. We stayed there past midnight without noticing that we were the last customers of the night. Then, we went our way home after a great buffet dinner.

Today I was invited to an eight-course Chinese dinner at the seafood restaurant. My peer has just got his promotion and become my immediate supervisor. Perhaps he is the best among the limited choices although he might not be the suitable person. I think he just got the luck. Frankly speaking, I’m not sure whether I should feel happy or sad about it to have my peer becoming my boss. I personally don’t like this kind of thing to happen but what to do. So, I attended the dinner with a mixed feeling. 

I will be attending the annual dinner and dance event of our company tomorrow. It starts at 7pm in the evening. It’s a Rocker’s night so the dress code is smart casual. I prepare to go there to have a relaxed and enjoyable evening. It might be a lucky night too.

One of my colleagues has just resigned and he will be leaving next week. I heard that there might be a dinner organised for him but I guess that I might not be able to make it due to I will be having an oversea call happening at the same time.

I have one more colleague resigning and I’m sure we will organise a farewell dinner for her next month. Time passes very fast each day. I think it’s time for me to plan where we wanted to have the dinner. 

Wow, I have so many dinners to attend lately. People found new jobs, people got promoted, people quit the old jobs and attend company’s AD&D event. Besides burning a hole in the pocket, I think I’ll be getting fatter and fatter real soon.
