2012

小花 and I have already bought tickets for tonight's movie "2012". Before the show, we went to dinner with a few colleagues as well as another Korean colleague who was here for a training course. As the Korean colleague preferred either Chinese or Thai food, we decided to have our dinner at Thai Accent at VivoCity.

This was the first time I have dined here. Didn't know that the place was actually quite big as I could only see a portion of the restaurant from outside when walking by. We ordered some food to share and my colleagues told the waiter to serve us the food as quickly as possible as our Korean colleague had a flight to catch. Not sure if the restaurant has always had efficient service but they really served our food in a short time. We were rather pleased with their service, and as their food tasted quite good as well, we decided that we could dine in this restaurant again next time.

After the meal, there was still some time left so we went back to office to clear some work. We were still very full when we headed to the cinema. Though we had bought tickets for the show on Wednesday, we only managed to get seats on the 4th row out of a total of 8 rows! When the advertisements started, we felt that the screen was a bit too close to us but luckily it was better during the movie.

The special effects in the movie were rather spectacular. However, it's really scary to imagine that some day what we see in the movie may come true. Whole cities could just disappear in a matter of seconds and trying to flee would be useless. Hopefully this will never happen.

When the movie ended, we realized that it was already 12.30 am. We did not check the movie length beforehand but hadn't expected it to end so late. It was raining but luckily the the queue at the taxi stand was quite short and taxis arrived frequently. After confirming with 小花 on the time and place to meet tomorrow, we went home separately.
