pieces of me

what the hell?!

i "abandoned" my colleagues yesterday and went to meet my mum instead after work. i treated her lunch and a movie in the new Cathy cinema in AMK hub. (yeah, it is called the A-M-K hub, not Ang Mo Kio Hub, even though i don't see where is the difference)

anyway, i guess my luck was kind of down yesterday because you know what? i waited for 20 minutes in the queue to get a pair of Transformers tickets. and the reason being?


hand-written movie ticket. cool eh?

apparently, their system was down when i was so happened to be in the queue. therefore, they could not issue computerized ticket and have to hand write instead.

so spastic right?

the other part of the ticket actually wrote "free seating". unfortunately, they were "taken back".

because it is free seating, my mum and i did not have a proper lunch because we assumed everyone watching that show would have free seating tickets like us and she doesn't want to go in late and end up sitting right in front or just beside the speakers.

and so we waited, and waited.

we stood outside for like half an hour before we were allowed to go in. they only allowed people to enter the theatre like 5 minutes before the showtime, which i think it's really ridiculous.

however, this is not all. the most cock thing happened after my mum and i entered the theatre.

like what i have mentioned, my mum and i assumed that everyone watching that show would have bought "free-seating" tickets like us, and so we were really happy when we managed to get the 2 best seats in the theatre. but we were chased off.

yes, we were being chased off.

apparently, their system was restored after we have bought our tickets and they started to allow people to strike seats again and this couple who chased us off bought their tickets later than us.

i was extremely pissed off.

i mean, c'mon. if anyone were in my shoes, won't you get pissed off too? queued for 20 minutes for a pair of "free seating" tickets, missed my lunch because of that and now, being chased off by people who have bought their tickets LATER than me.

if their system was not down, i could have taken those seats already.

and guess what their people said when i complained to them?

"miss, i hope you'll understand and cooperate by moving around."

so they expect my mum and i to move around the theatre like some refugees whenever people come in and claim their seats?!

that is so ridiculous!!!!

in the end, he went to check for all the available seats and told us to move to the 2 seats just next to the aisle.

those seats are not that ideal, however, my mum and i were OK with it and we still enjoyed the show.


transformers are so cool! i finished the movie with my jaws half dropped.

dear is going to watched transformers with my brother. lol.
