The Movie Club
The Movie Club is a gathering of movie-enthusiasts,on a strange weekday night somewhere usually,where we sit down and watch a couple of good movies while munching on snacks.That is what,usually happens of course but there are times when we deviate from our original goals and start talking non-stop into the night.I know that is not true to the spirit of The Movie Club,but then again deep inside the motto of the club,the essence of it really is to get together and have fun,movie or no movie.
So yesterday was such a night,the original members(Ahmad,Valerie and Myself),was joined by Samantha all the way at Boon Lay,merely a five minute walk from Jurong Point.I never knew that she lives THAT close to Jurong Point.If i had known i wouldve forgotten about the shopping mall and head straight to her place every single Nights Off.I mean seriously,despite Belle who barks at 4am in the morning like a bitch,or the not-so comfortable sofas,i wouldnt mind hanging with a couple of old friends in between army times.I mean,it's therapeutic in a way i'm sure?
We packed a bunch of food there,and with those Samantha came out with fruit punch she made(Guava,was it?).It was too sweet,but we didnt care much about it anyway.Jerry Maguire was just too good to be distracted in any way.I'm glad that they enjoyed the movie,a sort of satisfaction only a DVD-owner can feel.Samantha even has a collection LDs.Some of us dont even remember those big-ass discs,like those flying razor blades from Wild Wild West.They really looked like those,and it's not like flipping the discs from one side to another is an easy task i'm tell you.They are HUGE.Those are just some of the antiques aside from the furnitures and stuff(Strange enough,she had a bunch of guitars at home as well,but without strings.What's the deal with that?)
After the second movie(Edward Scissorhands),we ended up talking deep into the night.I mean,it wasnt because none of us wanted to watch The Shawshank Redemption,but i guess we(Or just myself),got a little too carried away with telling army tales.Haha.Of course,we didnt just talk about THAT,but i did most of the talking i must admit,and my throat was threatening to close in on itself,partly because of the talking and also because i was responsible for half the packet of Lays.After the India trip i became a Lays-freak,so forgive me on that guys.
It was a nice little chat till like 4am in the morning when we decided to leave.We talked everything from walking swamps,to snakes in the water,to condom distribution at the airport(Yes,Samantha.Not for you!),old classmates shopping for lingeries,Africa Vs. Middle East,John Mayer and so many more things.That was a great substitution over the movie i guess,and as the bottle of Coke slowly emptied quietly,the clock ticked by towards the eventual sign at the very end that says,"Too Late".
But it was really fun guys,the distance didnt matter at all(Of course,that's because Ahmad did the driving).We got to do this the next time,and we got to change venue again and FINALLY finish The Shawshank Redemption for sure,something Ahmad tried four times and never succeeded.At least at my place,i dont have a crazy dog and a more comfortable sofa!And no 5.1 digital surround sound of jetplanes flying over your head.
PS.Ahmad,i think Sabrina is cute.So damn the boyfriend.
PPS.I love Invis' father.Hahaha.
PPPS.Samick sucks Samantha.Admit it.
PPPPS.Samantha's parents are amazing.Thanks for the food.
PPPPPS.Help me say Hi to Freddy and Patrick.Haha.
