Whew!..wat a day..wat a night! We had our last working day yesterday and there was a small office party at one of the conference rooms (for which I paid 1000 Yen). Anyways so I was working at a frantic pace yesterday when my Business Development Manager - Samir san came to my seat to invite me to a party to be held at the JV's office. That was at 5:00 pm. There was a huge smile on my face (as per sumit). Two parties meant 2wice the booze and 2wice to eat :D . Also drunk japanese are really fun ppl to hang out wid. They laugh at your sickest jokes...and really hard too (and am full of sick jokes :D). Anyways so we reached there..opened up a few beers..some wine..came back to beer..sushi..and repeat. Samir san tried his hand at magic and failed miserably ..it was soo funny. Ppl actually walked off (maybe that was just me) from where he was showing his thing. He asked permission to practise and then come back! He finally did it .. and it was kinda cool. Phew! at 6:30 we rushed from that building to our own. I was feeling the excitement build up in me. The last time we had a party..I sang a song at a Karaoke!! .. u never know what you are getting into! Anyways we reached there to find things had already started . My client Wakabayashi san offered me some beer..I happily lapped it up..had champagne..sake .. back to beer..more sushi .. yah sushi is cool! There were some biscuits for sumit...ohh and juice! Japan is mean towards vegetarians! Anyways ppl started leaving but me, Wakabayashi san, Iguchi san and Sumit talked away till like 9 pm. Thats when the building guys told us to get out! :D .. we had to shut down our machines and all. I was sooo drunk by that time. We 3 were dangling with every step. Sumit was laughing right till we reached back home! I reached back at like 9:45..slept at 10:45 ..really early..but cudnt help it. Phew!..wat a night!..had the best time. It was not only the booze (tho I agree it played an important part) but the conversations with these guys which was sooo interesting. Wakabayashi san is like a world renowned person and an expert in High Level Synthesis. That guy is a visiting professor in Stanford and often the "general chair" of many IEEE conferences. So me and sumit were in awe of that guy and we really had a nice time chatting with him..about everything. Iguchi-san is like 28 and already a PhD in Physics! It was like 4 friends getting drunk (ok..3) and talking like crazy! I never laughed soo much! Whew!..big thumbs up to last night! a big f*ckin 10 fingered thumbs up!!
