what a day

what an unlucky day. finally decided to watch Gamer at shaw after work since i have an hr plus to kill before i can shut down my system and also because no one is interested in the movie. 5 min into the movie i realised the aspect ratio of the film is wrong. instead of a normal widescreen (16:9), it was a cropped dimension. i might as well have bought a pirated DVD and watch it on TV. i pay good money to enjoy a movie and expects the screen to be filled up but instead, i have a restricted view of the shots. what a fucking waste. i couldn't concentrate as i ponder whether to talk to the cinema people. then my boss called me and check on stuff. i didn't mind to get out of the theatre to take the call. after the call i decided look for cinema staff to ask about the dimension (since i'm already outside). i wasted almost 15min looking for people and finally get to talk to the manager. he checked and told me it is like that, nothing is wrong. i decided to forget it, and continue with whatever i have left of the movie. my final conclusion of the movie is good visual effects but weak story. maybe also part of it is spoilt by the wrong aspect ratio and bits i missed out on.

then i waited for the bus. it came, stopped in front of me but i had to see it go past me because singaporeans are so inconsiderate. there was a big space in the center of the bus enough for at least 4 people to stand but nobody moved in after some considerate passengers move further into the bus. so there was such a big cramp at the entrance door and therefore the bus driver drove away. i got really pissed. and i got even more pissed cos i had to wait for 15 min for the next bus.

finally got home and decided maybe i shd continue with my Lost. and i got this message "This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by PASTECOPYRIGHTHOLDER." how lucky can i get. i am stuck at the last 4 episodes of the season 2. i have nothing to say.
