Before everyone gets all excited and ends up in awestruck or bewilderment, let me just clarify one thing.
My colleague told me a week ago, after he had watched Brokeback Mountain, that the movie is R21 (much to my dismay). Last night, when I met up with Hiddy, we were so caught up in planning for our movie date, we didn't really give much thought to the censorship rating. We happily made plans and then went home. So when she messaged me this afternoon to remind me that we're both not 21, it suddenly came flashing back to me that CM had already rubbed it in my face that I won't be able to watch the show.
So there you have it. I didn't watch an R21 show, okay? So much for the man-on-man action. You bet I'm disappointed. But I guess it was a fortunate accident because we made plans with Mustafa and his girlfriend instead. We wanted to watch walk the line but settled for Constant Gardener. Hiddy had giddy spells throughout the movie. Probably because of the way the movie was shot. hur hur. Poor girl. I say it's a good one despite it being a little slow and having a tad too much dialogue.
Okay, me realising that I'm not 21 just before I was about to watch an R21 show was not my only blunder of the day. I made several, in fact. I don't know what is it with me and wanting to go down escalators which are going up. But hey, I'm not the only one who makes nonsensical mistakes. There are lotsa other people too. People whom I shall refer to as customers. hee hee (please don't sack me before I tender my resignation). I don't mean to make a mockery out of everything but really, it tickles me when I see/hear things like that (below) everyday at work.
As on a rental reservation list under a particular customer : April In The Snow (the original title is April snow)
A customer came up to me and asked "Miss ah, do you have (what sounded like) harriot of fire?" It was quite a while before it finally occurred to me that he was looking for chariots of fire. Gee.
I just find it tragic that these people, who're corporate executives and therefore highly educated, are rather misinformed and ignorant. But of course, we sometimes have to shed some humour into a tragedy. Life's much easier and interesting like that, don't you think? Many thanks to these people for making my life a lot less mundane. (:
But they haven't made me forgot that results will be released tomorrow afternoon. As in later today. Everyone, please pray for me. Thank you very much. I'm off to watch Little Women now.
