Hello.

I think I'm a highly unsuspecting and gullible person who's blindly oblivious to people who can really really act well to conceal some things they want to keep from me.

I got tricked today. :/

By my very good primary school friend Noel Ng who enlisted the help of Yong Quan. Even Jin Yu knew!

Fine. Maybe it was because I didn't bother checking the ticket stubs. I was the one who gave them to the doorman eh! ISABELLE YOU'RE BLIND!

We went in rather late so adverts were playing already.

They happily told me we were watching Cars and I complained I watched it already but since the tickets were already bought, I had no choice but to go in.

And so when the beginning part of Silent Hill played I was thinking, "This is just a trailer right?"

Then I told Yong Quan after the movie when we were going to the MRT station and he happily said, "Trailers won't have subtitles and everything."

And he's such a horrible guy. Laughing at me and Jin Yu.

"This was more of a comedy than a horror movie."

GAH.

Then I got a little uneasy and wanted to check the stubs. And he was so complying that he even passed me his phone so that I could see the words for myself.

So it took me rather long.

And then I saw - Silent Hill (NC16)

Wah I almost screamed and was hitting Noel who was sitting on my left and telling him how irritating and annoying he is and that I'm going to sleep during the movie.

I didn't, by the way.

It was hard to when Noel was expressing the gross parts with his very limited vocabulary and Jin Yu occassionally took her bag to cover her face.

I think my jacket was covering my face for 3/4 the movie :D

And I needed the toilet.

I think I said it 4 times throughout the entire movie which I wasn't really watching.

The music and sounds have the power of making me jump.

And Noel goes, "Eeewww" like every other 3 minutes?

And he kept asking me questions about the plot.

Aiyoh how would I know when I'm hiding behind my jacket.

I really have something against these sort of shows. Brings back memories of House Of Wax when ten or more of us boycotted the movie and left 15 or so of them inside the cinema.

4S1 is united, but half falls away when things get scary on screen.

Gah I'm never going to be tricked again.

Lesson learnt: Check your ticket stubs before you enter! Better still, always be present when buying tickets.

The guys ran ahead to buy first cause we couldn't walk so fast, and so they ran. Hah.

Something happened when I was at the bus-stop outside Queenstown MRT.

There was this man going around to everyone asking if we could spare him some money cause he claims he hasn't eaten in days.

There came to a point when no one, no one at all acceeded to his request and he snatched the wallet of a girl sitting down.

Everyone was taken aback and the girl struggled but managed to snatch her wallet back.

And that man said in chinese as if everyone around were his audience, "I am really very hungry and since no one wanted to help I had no choice but to snatch."

Then this guy started to call the police.

I left before the police came. Glad to, anyway.

It's hard to decide on the man's plight. He isn't crippled, he can speak chinese, he can get a job, even a low-paying one right?

I mean, I couldn't tell if he was sincere and so I shunned him like a plague.

When one man gave him a few coins he took the money and put them into his wallet. There was a shop at the bus-stop (right maybe the amount wasn't sufficient) and I just wonder why he didn't immediately buy something to satisfy, or at least, feed his hunger.

I feel that his act wasn't exactly earnest, especially when he snatched the girl's wallet. Yeah, you may be desperate. But have you no pride of a grown man snatching a teenage girl's wallet in front of the many pairs of eyes?

Oh well. It's just surprising to see such things happening around you.




Yesterday's dinner and Island Creamery visit with my 7 other friends was good (:
