Winding down 2/2

[Background]
I was stressed for the last two weeks, rushing for a deadline on Friday. I completed the coding and testing on Thursday and was told that the vendor pushed back the launch date.

[Saturday/Today]
Woke up to a sleepy day and played DOTA right in the morning. Then I played again with Gaga when he came online. We tried the two new heroes and just pretty happy exploring the differences.

I went to a Chinese doctor for further torture but the queue moved at a glacier pace. I gave up and went ahead with my appointment with Gaga. A cabby was dropping off a passenger so I took it instead of crossing over to the other side of the road. We travelled straight towards town area for a distance before he declared that he was going to take a U-turn. Now? Why not like 2 junctions back? I was still early so I was agreeable. He took a turn and entered the highway. He had deactivated the voice readout on his satellite linked device so it was beeping like a pager and he responded by pressing buttons for each message. I thought it unsafe but traffic conditions were good. Finally, we popped out into Orchard Road beside Meriden Hotel.
"You're going to the Oredian theatre?", he asked.
"No...", I repeated, "I'm going to the old Cathay. The newly re-opened one".
"Oh okay", he said, once again. "Can I drop you off inside?", he asked, meaning the taxi stand at Carrefour.
I agreed, since it can be good for his business. "Sorry ah, I picked up a call here so I have to drop you off here."
Suddenly, everything clicked. I still thanked him but I felt a little disgusted.

We watched "The devil wears Prada". We rather liked it. The audience laughed at every minor thing, even those that appeared in the trailers. I thought that was rather fake of them. However, I'm not complaining. Rather posers than having people who converse loudly. Or irritate others with the light from their mobile phones throughout the movie.

Dinner was sausages, well appreciated, and followed by shopping. Thanks to Gaga, I bought over a hundred dollars in clothes, my single largest fashion purchase ever. Think he felt outraged that the 70% discount I had prevented him from emptying my wallet. Ty...
