Have you ever felt like stepping out of your comfort zone and do something totally unfamiliar, something outrageous … just to feel Freedom in the newest possible sense?
.
I’m not sure how and where it came from, but it just hit me like a brick a few days ago. I woke up feeling so-so. Went through the 1st half of the day feeling so-so and then, BAM! Suddenly got so down and out that I didn’t feel like engaging in any of my regular activities. Walked around with a dark cloud hanging over my head, resenting myself and everyone else.
.
“WTF is wrong with me?!?”
- the question that kept swirling around my head the whole day.
.
Then it just hit me. I needed to do something unconventional. Something I wouldn’t dream of doing on any given day. Gawd, I needed it sooo bad that I was practically shaking all over. I was an emotional wreck. 
.
I didn’t want to spread the negative vibes to those around me. It would be unfair to them. They wouldn’t know what hit them and if they tried to pick me up, I would’ve bitten their poor heads off.
.
So, I did the first thing that came to my heart : I drove myself to GSC and purchased a ticket to watch a feel-good movie.
(No, a DVD would not work coz I’d still be in the comfort of my own place. I needed to put myself in an unfamiliar territory to chase away the dark cloud!)
.
Can you guess which movie I picked? 
(Hint : It’s still showing in the cinemas today)
.
As the lights dimmed and the picture came on, my heart lifted. Grudgingly but lifted it did. Within the first 10 minutes, I had a silly smile plastered on my face. I soon found myself throwing back my head and laughing loudly at the actors’ crazy antics. Then, my feet started tapping to the music and I was soon singing to the catchy tunes (never mind that the lady sitting next to me kept turning around to stare at me).
.
I was having the time of my Life and I couldn’t give a damn about what others around me thought!
.
When the movie ended and the lights came on, I looked around and saw some familiar faces. Some folks from work, some folks from the gym, even some clubbing folks. Hehee…Penang is really small that way, huh?
.
Some gave me quizzical looks but were too polite to ask “What are you doing here ALONE?” but I could see it in their eyes. Everyone was either with a partner/friend or in a group. Did I feel shy or embarrassed about watching a movie by myself? Hell no!!! 
.
I just flashed them one of my biggest smiles, and practically skipped out of the cinema. That night, I drove home with this thought in my head :
.
It must be the Singaporean film…
Money Not Enough II???
My friends laughed to incontinence… hahahah
Nope.
I don’t really dig slapstick humour….unless I am *really* bored and have *absolutely* nothing better to do with my time.
Guess again?
If it is non-Chinese film, I will be lost coz I dont fancy much!
Hehehe…I will reveal the movie title shortly. But not now, ya?
I want my other friends/readers to guess first. See who strikes gold.
mamamia?
Too easy, eh?
hahaha… but could you please tell me again, how could they have Pierce Brosnan sing in that movie? My god what an awful voice but the movie is too good to be spoilt by that, THANK GOD!
hey, you should go to movie alone more but be careful don’t go for the late one yourself. I love going to the movie myself when I was in KL.
Haha!! Yup, that was the exact thing in my head as I was driving home that nite, reflecting on the movie.
“That’s gotta be the WORST possible on-screen singing I’ve ever heard in my entire life! Even with his looks, NO ONE is licensed to get away with such croaking! How could the producers even allow that to pass thru???!?!”
And yea, you are right, Mari. The movie is thankfully filled with other goodies that it’s not spoilt by that croaking. I’m gonna watch it again tonite and this time, with my man and his mom. Hehehee…his mom is an ABBA fan.
