It all started with SMS&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>People&#039;s ideas and thoughts were misinterpreted. Decissions were passed on wrongly. Messages were read wrongly.<\/p>\n<p>These happened twice today! The first one was in the morning. Dennis thought I sms-ed him last night, telling him to meet at 0830, which in actual fact, I told him to meet at 0850. Secondly, (the worst&#8230;) Zhixiang, Dennis and me were supposed to meet at PS for a movie. Zhixiang saw wrongly, and he waited at JP instead&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>See, the problem with SMS. People tend to assume that they have seen and understood the messages. These can sometimes be disastrous. I myself sometimes misread some SMSs too&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>To be sure about things, always double-check. I failed to do this little task which would have saved me a whole lot of trouble and time&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>But the second incident was a good one. When Dennis and I reached PS, we found out that the queue was really long! That was when I called Zhixiang to enquire about his location. After some verification, we decided to go to JP to watch our movie&#8230; so the 2 of us took the  train once again, and travelled backwards&#8230; No Carrefour, no Music Plaza, no Poh Kim, no visit of any shops at PS&#8230; wasted&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>We managed to reach JP by 1900. We exchanged for the tickets (by the way, we had 3 free tickets from Dennis&#8230;), bought our snacks, and watched Hell Boy. It was a nice show! So funny&#8230; -lol- and nice graphics too&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>My second movie in a week. I wondered where did I get the movie fever from&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>My dinner tonight was popcorn, nachos, and a large coke. Ordered the wrong drink. Should have ordered Lemon Tea. Can&#039;t believe that I actually drank the whole cup of Coke&#8230; No, I&#039;ve already brushed my teeth. No more night snacks.
