movie date.

today started out as such a waste of a day...

got to office early thinking i would start early so i could try to end on time so as to go catch Argo... turns out the server really hates it when i decide to do that and decided to not work until 12.30pm. ended up wasting the time away. talking to people. letting a colleague bully a manager into treating coffee and then going for ramen at orchid hotel before the server got up.

nonetheless i had an intense productive streak from 1pm to 8pm. 7 hours which probably is around my max attention span on stuff i find fascinating. and thankfully troubleshooting and trying to make sense of the australian's analyst's work seems to be just that. i was so in to it that i forgot to go to the toilet and i didn't realise it started raining quite heavily even though i was sitting next to the window today.

felt a little bad that i couldn't get off on time and made poor ben end up watching shows on his iphone while sitting at the bus stop downstairs waiting for me.

oh wells >.< hopefully what mich says was true and he probably didn't mind.

evening turned out much better thankfully. once we decided on where to have the movie. we had loads of time to kill till the 11.30 movie even though it was 9 by the time we bought the tickets. dinner was this humongous 5 patty burger which saw me eating 1.5 out of 5 patties. haha. one of the rare occassions where i actually hear ben said he was full since he did finish the rest of it. then we killed time the way we usually do, walking and chatting and poking at random interesting stuff we see along the way.

Argo was intense. somehow. the tired me actually woke up totally from it although at the end of it, i felt kinda exhuasted from the entire show. even though you knew the ending it still kept you on your toes for a bit. while it definitely felt a little sensationalise for a true story, it probably was how they did feel when they were there, caught in that situation with no option but to fight and fear for their life. that i took such an interest in the fear of the actors kinda feels morbid to a certain extent.

thereafter... i bumped into mich wong. haha. didn't really expect to see her there but she spotted me inspite of the dark and we caught up a little (all in 5 mins) about happenings in the old office before parting ways.

sending ben back after was surprisingly fast. haha. i somehow think i expected to have to drive further... like towards ikea side perhaps.... hmm... talking about ikea... maybe i should pop by ikea tmr if i finish work + swim early enuff.

ok. enuff ramblings. time to crash so that one can have a productive day tmr.
