Kung Fu Fighter!

Panda Almightly! We heard about Breadtalk's Peace Panda and to add on to the panda craze, there's gonna be a plus-sized Kung Fu Panda movie! Upon getting news of the screening, Mummy is determined to bring Rynae to watch it. However, to enjoy the Cathay Mum 'n' Tots benefit, I have to walk in to purchase the tickets on the day itself. So, today, 6 June the debut day, I got up at 7.30am to check Cathay's online movie ticket website. I fell off my chair when I found out that the 10.30am, 11.30am and the 12.35pm seats were all fully booked. And so were many other timings! The weirdest thing is that I surfed their website the night before and it is near impossible that the tickets would be sold out completely in a few hours! With a grey light of hope, we proceeded with our plan to try to get hold of the tickets over the counter. Well, worse come to worse, if they're really sold out, we'll watch it another day!

It was the first thing in my life that I ever got to a ticket counter before it opens. In fact, we're so early that we've got time to go to Ya Kun prior, for a quick breakfast! At 10.15am, the shutter was lifted and together with me were crowds of early birds queueing for their preferred seat and time slot. I got my tickets (it's Rynae's 1st movie and she's going for the 1st screening on the 1st day) and Rynae got her pop-con. If I were to give my after-views of the movie, I'd say that the plot's ordinary but the animations' expressions were humourously, realistically human-like!

Last but not least, a word of wisdom for you internet savvy cosmopolitans... sometimes internet purchase might not give you the leading edge over the others. I've learnt mine. Hope you too.
