you should have just died

last weekend was quite a good one. went for a movie and dinner with friends. the movie is entitled skyfall. by now, everyone should have watched it given the bru-ha-ha by the advertisement. to top of the level of excitement, my company offers 200 movie tickets for the lucky employees. too bad, yours truly failed in getting one.

hence, my outing with my friends to watch instead. my comment about the skyfall: story line is good, the actresses are quite hot as well. actually i think the eve moneypenny is hotter than the girl that died. am i the only one who thinks so? just because bond had fun with the girl in the shower doesn't mean she is the hottest. i find the part when eve is shaving bond has more exciting and romantic quality than the naked scene in the shower. okay, enough. the dramatic is just so, so since i expected nothing less than that. 

during the opening of the movie, adele's song is played. quite nice and over the top. then my mind started wandering into the marketing side of things. since bond 007 has always been the top movie, of course they want to associate themselves with the best artist of the year. hmmm.... there is also the laptop and watch which i play close scrutiny to. this observation of mine derives from the fact that i took a marketing module back in university. since then, everything just clicks for me. everything is about apperance and perception.

master that and you are on your way earning big bucks. 

after the movie, we decided to go for a mamak session which turned out to be a hokkien mee eating session. while eating, CY brought up the issue with his old house infested with cockroaches. gross. but still, years of listening to gross stories during meals has strengthened my willpower to eat in comparison to imagination. i continue eating. while A was scolding CY, i was happily chewing. then, CY started storytelling. how he had a long fever which lasted for 3-4 days. how his whole body felt paralysed and his ridiculous methods of curing himself. as the story continued on and on, A suddenly blurted, "you see, you should have just died. that would solve all your problems." then, everyone went silent. i was looking at CY. he was looking at A after me. after that, i laughed. 

the joke really took me by surprise because CY is really serious about his story. i was thinking, i wouldn't have thought of that. CY started to shakes his head while smiling. yes, A can be entertaining at times. credit should be given when it falls due. spot on. 

blogger feels that he was once the joker and yet months of professional employment has turned him into a listener and boring friend.
