The Cathay

Went to watch Pirates of the Carribean 2 (Dead man’s chest) at The Cathay yesterday.

Booked myself a good seat through their website earlier that day. Tickets cost $8 and booking fee costs only 50cents. The booking fee for Golden Village is $1, tickets also at $8.

The place is still new and a lot of shops aren’t opened for business yet. I was hoping there’d be a fastfood restaurant like Mos Burger, McDonald’s, Burger King so I can smuggle in a burger for dinner.

Movie starts at 7pm. I leave work at 6pm. Travelling there takes 30 minutes which leaves me insufficient time for dinner. [:(]

Sadly, there’s no fastfood restaurants so I had to buy the expensive meals from the movie theatre’s stalls.

Fucking $7.40 for a medium cup of iced lemon tea ($2.90) and a bacon cheese hotdog ($4.50) that’s only about 6 inches long. This is why I always avoid these overpriced stalls. The reason people still buy from these stalls is because the food they sell are the only ones you are allowed to bring in. You can’t bring in food from other stalls but I have a bag big enough to hide 8 burgers and no one bothers to see what you’re eating when the show starts.

And I also regret buying that drink.

Because near the end of the movie, I gave up enduring the urgent tide and left for the restroom. I missed the important last scene in the movie… orz

Oh well. At least I managed to get details of that scene from a friend who’s already watched it.

Light from the setting sun was reflected off one of the buildings and it was beautiful.
That’s SMU on the left.
