Alone in the dark...

So it was weekend. My first in Malaysia. In my office now, we go to work even during Saturdays, half day of it. At least  I still have 1.5 days for the weekend. I'm currently staying with one of the staff now. They say it will be the case for two weeks as my organization is yet to find a place of my own. I think it's a good thing really but I'm also looking forward to the day I'll be living on my own. It's so romantic that idea. I'm in a foreign country, I get to work with people of different cultural background, I'm in control of my time, I get to explore the way I want and just live the overseas life. But right now, I'm really ok with the setupI

So it's the weekend. I decided to go with my housemate to TESCO, one of the many shopping centers in Malaysia. He works there part-time and during Saturdays, he works til 12. I went along. He went up to his work and I went around the mall. Pretty much the same as my country. There's the grocery/supermarket, the department store, food court, bookstores, boutiques and some other smaller stalls for those selling condominium units or photo packages for wedding and all.

Upstairs was the theatre (yehey) and I decided to eat up time watching a movie. Checked the movie list and found Tin-tin. I saw the trailer back at home and it was pretty interesting. The graphics was really great so I chose to watch it on 3D. I chose my seat, nothing is taken yet so I chose the best seat: the middle one near the stairs. I paid the bill, checked the time and found 30 mins. more before the showing so I decided to take my dinner. Glad there was pasta in the food court coz I've been dying to have sort of comfort food in a while. I've been having Indian and Chinese food for the whole week so I decided for a change in taste at least for the weekend.

After dinner, I went to the theatre and waited a little before they opened it. I'm handed the 3D glasses and went directly to my seat.  Some trailers/previews and the movie started. Wait! Something's weird about this. Is it just dark that I can't see a single soul or I'm really alone? God I'm alone. I'm really alone! Amoooazing. It's the first time for me to go to the theatre all by myself and it's the first time for me to be all alone in the theatre. It's as if I blocked the schedule and paid for all of the seats for me to watch it all by myself. It's really awesome.

About the film, I immensely enjoyed it. It was the perfect adventure film. It's all the good elements combined: mystery, travel, genius-journalist-lead-character, history of family feud, pirates and ocean adventure, clues here and there, and all the other elements you wish to see in one package plus the really great graphics. It was so detailed that the animated characters looks like real people at times... Good job Spielberg... I'm waiting for the sequel (as I suppose there will be because of the clue left at the hat of gold)....
