I&#8217;m getting rounder by the day due to a lack of exercise and perpetual sitting in the office. My eyes are looking more and more like a panda&#8217;s as the days go by due to the llllloooooonnnnggggg hours spent at work. Left the office only at 12.40am last night. Got home, showered and just couldn&#8217;t resist watching the Olympics swimming events which were being telecast live.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s so sad&#8211;Popov and Van den Hoogenband are not in the 50m freestyle final! Two of my favourite eye-candies! And I didn&#8217;t even get a glimpse of Popov this time! At least I got to see Van den Hoogenband a couple of times and I&#8217;m glad he won a couple of medals!<br \/>\nSo now I&#8217;m back at work again, after a four-hour sleep. Ah well.<br \/>\nOther news:<br \/>\nI met up with a <a href=\"http:\/\/wuyuetian.blogspot.com\">fellow blogger<\/a> for lunch. She happens to work in the same area, and we had a lovely chat. So now I have another lunch partner! Actually I&#8217;m discovering that lunch&#8217;s a good time to meet up with friends who work in the same area!<br \/>\nAnd on Wed night, I went to a pub quiz with my colleagues at a pub called The Old Brown Shoe. We did pretty well&#8230;.coming in 5th among probably about 12 teams. I rather enjoy these pub quizzes actually&#8230;.I think I should gather some friends and go for one together&#8230;.just to pit our wits against others!<br \/>\nAnyway, the weekend&#8217;s just round the corner.
