Movie with myself
I have got 2 complimentary movie tickets from Buena Vista Columbia Tristar Films so I wonder who can be my movie partner before the tickets expire. I always like watching movies in the cinema theatre, be it thriller, comedy, drama, action or science fiction; I love them all.
Having a ‘not-so-happy’ mood after 6, I spontaneously drove into KLCC’s car park. I guess a movie treat can at least cheer me up a bit. The queue wasn’t long, and the ticketing officer was nice enough to let me watch Flight Plan with my complimentary pass. Sad or happy, I do enjoy watching it alone.
But just 1 hour prior to the show, I still not gave up my another pass. I started to make a few phone calls to my guy friends…
“halo…how are you?”
“ehh…vicky…long life leh, how have you been?”
“eh, cut the story short. Are you driving now? Back home yet?”
“yes, on the way home…”
“oh, cannot turn back?”
“no-lah..too far.”
“then, never mind.”
“hey, i heard you got a boyfriend ar?”
“uh? chi sin you think i will still call you if i have ar?”
“they all say wor…”
“chi sin, don’t waste my money…i call another one”
“okok..bye”
Another call made.
“hello kim, whats up?”
“ehhh min jie (my chinese name)”
“still working ar?”
“yalo…why?”
“no ma, want watch movie with me ar?”
“when? 7.40pm show, flight plan”
“oh..sounds good.”
“can you come within 45 mins or not?”
“where?”
“KLCC.”
“wah..so far..cannot la..”
“yah, I reckon. Never mind then…next time okie?”
“okok you enjoy…byebye”
Third call made
“Wei….where are you?”
“I’m in modesto having dinner with ann.”
“What? Ann? Ann Lee?”
“Ya..ya Ann Lee.”
“Wah…you have dinner with her never call me also la?”
“She called me for dinner one.”
“Oooo, okie loh..then you have fun, enjoy the dinner with her.”
Sigh….
Finally….
Fourth, but not phone call….sent an sms to this fella. I don’t really know him, I just thought maybe it’s nice to ask him to tag along.
“Hi Hi, I know this is a bit odd. I have a movit tix to watch Flight Plan, 7.40pm @ KLCC. Let me know if you’re interested. - Vicky”
After 3 mins…
“Hi vicky, it woud hv been nice if i had the offer earlier, i am now already back in puchong. I appreciate the offer. Some other time, maybe?”
Aww…..such a heartening reply from him.
“I should apologise because i am such a spontaneous person. I thought perhaps u r around this area. yadayada….” I replied.
Sigh….What kinda of world? Is the generation changed? Gender culture change or what? Girl asks guy out also difficult. Or was that only me?
Fine, watching movie alone is a norm to me now. I know I should be glad for that.
Maybe you are thinking why not girl friends….ah well, I have been out with many girlfriends of mine lately, and all on different occasions. It will take me an hour to send them home especially most of them have not got a car. Also, I know my vision at night is not as good as the day. I don’t think I wanted to drive them home after the movie, it usually ends quite late. Well, why am I explaning all these? Gee… girl friend, just in case you think I only have heart for man. That’s not true, you should know better.
Who cares anyway?
