The Cineplex .

I watched a movie last week ...with the whole family in tow , of course . We went to this cineplex in town . We were all excited as its not that often we set foot there . Hehehe....gone are the days when I watched movies at a cinema ... the place and word is almost extinct now .


The show ? " Terminator Salvation ". Translated into Bahasa Malaysia as " Pembunuh Pembebasan ". Betui ke ....? The show was good...no complain there .

As usual I fell asleep in the first 15 minutes when the movie started ....too tired after the spring cleaning earlier on . Obviosly I didn't snore because hubby would have given me a good nudge there . As a whole the audience were on their best behaviors ..I hardly heard a cell phone ringing ...that was good . Maybe there were one or two couples making out but I hardly noticed . The show had everybody transfixed .Those around us were a bless as nobody talked loudly ....yeahhhhh...an ' A ' for the moral classes everybody attended while at school . There were no children running up and down the aisle and even if there were children there ...they were not let loose ....and best of all nobody kicked or put their feet up the back of my chair !!


I only have to comment on the cineplex and its management though . The place was not swept after the last audience left ...nothing strange there . The seat is uncomfortable ...I could still feel the body sweat and warmth of the last audience sitting there . It made me itch all over . Maybe somebody had taken off their shoes and had put up their smelly socks on the chair cos I could smell something there . Worst.... the air is stale ....not exactly a healthy place to be in .

I wonder how often did the management make the effort to fumigate the place...I mean air the place out . How I wish the place is slightly cooler too ...with so many people in there and practically everybody is breathing out carbon dioxide ....there is global warming in there man ! I mentioned this to my son and he said " For RM5 an admission ......what do you expect ? " I raised my case ...but still yunno .....its all about responsibility and not only profitability .

I had a good wash once I reached home ...scrubbed myself well ...a good general cleaning there .In future I will think twice to attend a movie at a cineplex .

Me....? Playing Golf ...?

Hubby is into playing golf for the past few months . He bought a new set of clubs and the other knick knacks associated with this game . So far he is still practicing how to hit the balls right at the driving range . He would be there with his friends ; which is fine for me .




Then there was one of those days when he convinced me to tag along .Of course I was reluctant .....I'm no golfer ....; I have plenty of things to do in the house . After much prodding ....I reluctantly accepted the invitation .



A sweaty day at the range and that's about 9 o'clock in the morning . We were the only couple there . Hubby took a bucket of golf balls ....put a club in my hand ...and told me to " Hit the balls . You will get into the swing of it . " Well he did show me a few tips here and there ...even then I was figuring out what to do .




The first swing I made ...I thought I heard the club groaned and bent it in the process as I had hit the ground so hard ! Its good I'm at the range as I would have dug a huge chunk of earth if I had been in the field . There were numerous hitting of the air and none of the balls . Even if there were.... the balls hardly flew ...it kind of roll off ...either to the right or left ...and at one point it went flying mad ...upwards . Automatically I covered my head . I wouldn't want to be knocked out cold on a hot day !!


Hubby was patient and kept on encouraging me not to give up . Its just too good to be true ....he took me along shopping and before I knew it he bought me these .............




That was sweet of him...but how I wish he had taken me to a jewellery shop.....this is my version of Golf !

By the way ...I 'm still asking myself ...why is it called the driving range ...and yet I'm not able to drive there .... ?

Cheers !!
