All for a silly movie...

Holidays...can it get any more boring?? BUT since I am not at home during this holidays...I am perfectly HAPPY to be residing at Motel69..(never heard of it ay??? gimme a buzz and the explanation is yours! :p)

Its 3.20am and what am I doing? I am listenin' to Josh Groban's - Remember Me a track from "Troy". I've been lookin' for this song for ages!!

My good friends from Cyberjaya came down and spent some time with them. One of them, Ashwin to be exact! (sorry Ash! :p ) persuaded us to go and watch "The Chronicles of Riddick". Well I heard of this particular movie, didnt realise that Vin Diesel starred in this movie. I can safely say that NONE of his movies are worth watching...hahaha and unfortunately The Chronicles of Riddick falls in the same catagory!

After rushing to watch this movie...well let's see what happened before actually watchin this movie. After happily bookin it online because its FOC hehehe...getting to Mahkota Parade (MP) proved to be a DIFFICULT TASK!!! Movie started at 7.15pm SHARP..very very rare for a movie to be aired on time in MP's GSC...anyway we were supposed to rent a car to go to MP but then the dude we were waiting for didnt turn up on time and we (ma friends and I) decided to take the taxi instead...oooh taxi "pakcik" is also another interesting story! Usually taxis from Bkt Beruang charged RM20 to go to MP, but this particularly kind taxi "pakcik" charged ONLY RM10!!

I was soo shocked that I asked Subash (who was dealing with the kind taxi "pakcik") to ask the "pakcik" again whether he heard him properly and yes it turned out that the taxi "pakcik" heard correctly so RM10 it was. Reaching MP, we were soo happy with the kind taxi "pakcik" that we asked him whether he could come to pick us up from MP after watchin the movie and send us back to Bkt Beruang...and without hesitation he agreed. We went into the cinema with HUGE SMILES on our faces, but the smiles werent there for only a few minutes. The movie was utter rubbish! One of my friend, Kishore actually manage to fall asleep!! Imagine that falling asleep when getting backrow seats at the cinema...*sigh*.

That was it, as soon as the movie ended I expressed my disspointment to AShwin (the dude who persuaded us to watch the movie) the movie was just plain drivel!!!...and that also brought up another movie-going disspointment that I experienced when I saw The Hulk! So naturally I got mad at Shankar again...(he was the one who talked me into watching it) hahah I was so confused who to get mad at so I just became happy..(how that managed to happen, I dont know). At 9.30pm, as promised the kind "pakcik" came with his taxi and we persuaded him to let our other 3 friends ride in his taxi too...at first he was shocked but we are very good at persuading *wink*

*sigh*..so thats that...conclusion: The Chronicles of Riddick turn out to be ridiculous! Futuristic version of Lord of the Rings?? my @$$!!!
