Last Friday, we took a few hours off again to "pak-tor" a bit, and to rest our minds. I selected this movie, after reading the synopsis, it sure sounds like a good one, what with my idol, Fatt-ko looking so cool in the poster. In my opinion, this image of his looks cool and smart, similar to the image "Mark-ko" he portrayed.
I was sure looking forward to this show.. with popcorns in hand and Coke in the other. I was thinking we can't catch it in time, having to rush from the office at the last minute work. But we made it to the cineplex... yip yip yooray!!!When we entered, the show was already showing.. and hmm... how come it looks so weird? The setting doesn't look at all like the synopsis I read, nothing seems to relate to a war-torn China, with communists, guerillas, and all that.
It didn't seem like it's a preview either. After a few mins, I asked hubby to ask the guy sitting next to him how long this show has started. He hesitated for a long time, then kacau the young man next to him. We were told, it started about 15 mins ago. Then, hubby asked if it's "escape from Huang Shi"? I could hear him laughing below his reply "No, this is Nim's Island"...
WHAT??
But can't be, we are very confident we went inside the right place. We double checked out tickets and that boldly said "ESCAPE FROM HUANG SHI" alright. Hmm.. finally! A chance to argue for a free movie, thought both of us! (Funny, we both thought exactly the same thing!)
Hubby then asked to see his new-friend's ticket. When we saw it...both of us looked at each other, don't know whether to laugh or to cry... It said Cinema 1! (Ours read 2)...
Really malunya... first time barged into a wrong cinema! And thought it was technical error and we could bargain for a free pass to another movie pulak! Funny thing is, how come there were just exactly the 2 empty seats in that cinema as well, huh?
So, we sat back, and tried to enjoy the show. It was a romantic comedy, quite entertaining alright, but my mind was upset as I was expecting to watch the earlier show. Well, there's always another Friday, right?

Now you know there's another movie date you have to plan =)
Have a great week now, Gargies!
haha..lucky the seats were empty..nvm..got chance to pak toh again this friday..
I have to laugh cos last week, hubby and I went to the wrong cinema too. We were supposed to watch the 3 Kingdom but ended up in the cinema showing a malay show. Luckily, we managed to go into the right one.
Haha..thats a funny one. BUt so far I haven't encounter such experience b4. The only blunder that I made when i first cam to Thailand is that I was watching an English movie but didnt realize that it is dubbed in Thai!
bp,
Those embarassing moments... Yeah, this Friday, we are going to make sure we get the cinema right!
Yozo,
Actually, if those seats are not empty, then we might not made that mistake!
Jo-N,
YOu too?? Good to know we are not alone!
CY,
Thai sounds so alike to English meh? Unbelievable!
I think your hubby did it (walk into wrong cinema) on purpose, so that he can date u again. :p
