Lunch with Eric

--- June 13, 2007 9:30pm ---

Mochi is going crazy going through Mochi's closet trying to decide what to wear the next day. Should Mochi look cute? professional? casual? engineer-like? or... ?? Why is Mochi behaving like this? 'cause the next day is a BIG day!

After one full hour of searching, trying on, and debating. Mochi has finally decided to go with a complete "professional" look. So, Mochi will be wearing Mochi's lucky interview shirt, which got Mochi all the jobs so far. Sorry little onion, Mochi didn't even do this for our first date :P

So, what's the big day!? Mochi is gonna have lunch with Eric Schmidt - Google's CEO!

Onion's morning call! Although today is the big day, Mochi still struggled for 10 minutes before Mochi gets up. After the usual morning stuff, Mochi spent 10 extra minute making sure Mochi looks good :)

Got to the office. Within 30 minutes, almost everybody noticed Mochi's unusual dress :P

No body else dressed up for Eric. Mochi almost wanted to go home and change back to my t-shirt and jeans just to fit in to the rest of the team...

BUT, Mochi spent so much time figuring out what to wear, and dressing up is actually just being polite and showing Eric that I really care about today's lunch!!

Everybody gets ready and starts to walk/drive to the main campus!

Eric is about 10 minutes late. Conversation over lunch is confidential, but Mochi got to play with Eric's iPhone! It's a very cool toy, but I'm not sure I would want to spend $600 on it.

Eric rushes to his next meeting. We took a group picture with Eric to draw a period for today's once-in-a-lifetime lunch! Mochi wanted to have a picture with just Eric alone though.....




It was such a great time talking to Eric and listening to his intelligent answers. He is friendly, smart, and have a great sense of humor. Mochi is so glad Google has a leader like him!!
