Saved by the call

Saved by a call today when I was on the edge of boredom.

A call not from God but from two long lost friends. They used to be close friends of mine when I was studying in INTI College. Ah Bao went to Leeds with me and Bryan left to Canada. Both of them have been working for some time before they came back to Penang for holiday. Less than a month and they will be leaving back to the place where they had their first degree to pursue a Master degree in their respective fields.

Right, back to main topic. They invited me to join them for dinner in Gurney Plaza. Had this super expensive Kim Gary (don’t know how to spell it). After dinner, Ah Bao suggested a movie to fill the time for the rest of the evening. So we went for Batman – The Dark Knight.

The movie is not brilliant. It is lengthy and horrifying. Overall review of the movie, I rate it as one of the frightening ones. The threats came like tides. As if it is never ending. Normal people with bad heart condition will easily get heart attack. With the magnifying effect of the surround sound in the cinema, it surely can trigger a shock. I guess I will just treat this as an exercise to my cardiac muscles. Although the movie does not give me much satisfaction, watching it with friends is worthwhile.

Soon after I reached home after the movie, I received an offline message from another long lost friend – C Keat. No wonder I had six sense of him coming back to Penang this morning. Anyway, he is inviting me for breakfast tomorrow morning. That means my free time is occupied tomorrow…yahoo…!!! We seldom meet up after I settled down in England. This will be our first encounter after 4 years since the last gathering. He is back now for his houseman ship. There will be so much to share between us over the breakfast tomorrow. I am looking forward to that and well, at least tomorrow, my time is occupied.

Alright, need to retrieve and make time for tomorrow. Signing off…
