Pretty Butterfly

With the movie screening timing nearing 8.30pm on 25/09/05, movie goers were streaming in, smells of Yoshinoya to Pizza Hut whiffing, this is the Nokia’s Outdoor Movie Screening event at the Padang. JH and myself were sitting on a mat 40m from the screen enjoying our space but to be interrupted by a family of 5 in front of us who “chap” into the minute space. I was appalled. Luckily, I was diverted by the illuminating orange hues of the Supreme Court on my right which very much remind me about the Bund in Shanghai.
As the show progresses into its 15 minutes, a drizzle became rain droplets and went on to pour every now and then. Our umbrellas cannot defeat the forces of nature even if we tried to hang on to the last. Then as rain water start to seep into our clothes, we literally abandon ship and exited disappointedly. Luckily for a couple I caught sight, had two deck chairs and huge umbrellas to ward off the rain.

Even though, the movie viewing was a flop, it’s the whole nostalgic experience I would not forget.
