Friday was a crazy day.
It all started in the morning. I was doing the usual in the office, I had my breakfast and I was reading the papers. Halfway through, the fire alarm rang. Nobody in my office reacted and I continued to read, thinking that it was a false alarm again. The fire alarm had gone off so many times that it no long mattered. It was only ten minutes later when my colleague next door pushed the door open and exclaimed: "Haven't you all locked up your stuff?!". Me being me, went shrieking and wondering what was happening. Well, it turned out that there was a short circuit and there was really a fire! A fire in the office! But it was small and was already put out by the time I had reacted. The entire corridor was filled with smoke and a burning smell. By then, we were told to switched off our PCs and we were effectively shut down for two hours. Early happy hour.
Anyway, things were restored and I did a mad dash for my work. I had something urgent to handle. So from 10.30am onwards, I was working and typing like crazy and I ended my work at 7pm. Shucks. I hate to work so late on a Friday. Didn't feel like going out though but I badly needed some fresh air and I wanted to chill out - desperately. So, I met Justin. We finally had dinner at Raffles Hotel after a long walk from Marina Square to Raffles City Shopping Centre then Purvis Street before making a detour to Raffles Hotel. Every place we went to was crowded and we wanted to avoid the crowd. We had a super filling dinner and talked and talked and talked. Well, we had not met for a long long time. That's why. Chatting during dinner wasn't enough and we continued on and on till 11pm before we gave up. Too tired. Justin said he felt better after talking to me. I really hoped so. It was nice talking to him too. What a better way to end my Friday.
