Getting too old for late date nites
Phew, it has been a very tiring day.
2 hour meeting this morning followed by a session of ear-lending to a friend going thru a separation.
Followed by late lunch date with another friend, followed by work and then a second round of ear-lending to another friend also going thru a separation. Its deja-vu or something. The stories of infidelities and denials left me with a bad taste in my mouth.
Then while waiting for the husband to finish his art-group meeting, I had a chat with 2 strangers at Kampong Glam Cafe. The strangers (Muhamad and Mahfuz) shared a table with me becos the cafe was packed full as usual. Surprisingly we had a mutually interesting and engaging conversation about business, bureaucratic restrictions and entrepreneurship in singapore and overseas. Muhammad is from Saudi and Mahfuz's family was from Yemen. Muhamad kinda inspired me to rethink going into business again by his sucess and failure stories. I hope to continue the conversation we had today, again soon. There's so much i can learn from the experiences of people like him.
After dinner, the husband drove us down to Cineleisure to grab tickets for Da Vinci Code. We had tried getting tickets too, yesterday, but they were all sold out, so we were slightly more determined to watch it today. Well, at 10pm, all the tickets for pre-midnite shows were sold out. We were left with the 1.05am and 3am show, and since we had already paid the $3 parking entry fee, we kinda resigned ourselves to the long wait. For the next 3 hours, we half-heartedly shopped ( i got 2 tops!) . Ok, i shopped while the husband half-heartedly surrendered his money! Heh! Then, we attemmpted to get a bit of a nap in the car (unsucessful), then finally went to Burger King and snacked on the new waffle-fries (nice!). At one point, the husband commented that we seem to be the oldest couple to hang around Cineleisure, everyone else there looked in their teens or early 20s. Where are the rest of the 30-somethings ???
I conclude we are an anomaly since most people our age are at home, with kids, doing more productive things at this hour than attempt a late movie-date.
