And We Don't Want To Watch Alone

So I play, I'll wait
And I pray it's not too late
We came so far
Just a beat of a lonely heart
And it's mine
I don't want to be alone...

Generally we felt today had terrible 'balance' between good and bad - with most of the good happening at work (which didn't felt like much) and the bad bits happening after work.

First up, we arrived at FFTC only to find that Jimmy's long-awaited Cardio Dance class has been slotted for 6.20pm instead of the usual 7.25pm! We showed up just to see the last bits of his class. Gym motivation: zero. Stay and do weights? Actually we should, considering cardio isn't suppose to be our priority, but they're intergral for our gym motivation! And no, not Step/Attack...only Combat/Jam.

As it is, otousan and Germ decided to join us for Alone and so we decided to have a good dinner instead of bumming at the gym. Question of dinner? Took us another 5-10 minutes of pondering until otousan said that he wanted to try Vivo as he'd never tried it before. We ourselves don't remember much of Vivo's food, save that it wasn't anything to shout about. And it still isn't:
"How's your Kung Po Speghetti?"
"Okay."
"Good enough that you'll come here to eat again?"
"No."
Ah well. Not so disappointing as after dinner we took the escalators down and ended up at Big Apple (it's a terrible, terrible addiction). Our definite favourites are the Californian Almond, the Whitnut and the simple Glazier *heart*.

Heading off to 1U to get tickets for Alone - we assumed that while it would be jammed as it was a Wednesday and there'll be crowds of people, the crowd would be after Transformers thus leaving us with good seats for Alone. We ended up in the front row, for the first time, in GSC. We'd to slouch all the way down our seat in order to fit the entire screen within our glasses. But this we could live with.

What we cannot live with, is that this movie seriously disappointed us. Given the trailer, our expectations were rather optimistic. That the show started off on a slow start is forgivable, we allow for character development and backstory, but for the show to be slow throughout with only the occasional cheap thrills...sigh. Might as well just have watched the trailer and be happy with it. The only bit that evoked some reaction from us was during the incident with the dog.

Other than that, we had a good laugh seeing the on otousan's face...but we'll need a better horror if we are to derive any entertainment from Germ yet. Here's hoping Harry Potter next week does better.
