Short Post

Short post today, not in the mood for histrionics.

I was in KLCC last week, I wanted to go to one of the particular shops. But guess what, it was closed. There was a paper note stuck to the roller shutter. According to them, they were closed due to power failure, until further notice.

Then I remembered reading about a fire at one of the exits to the cinema in KLCC, and the power failure was due to a fire during the Hari Raya week. I noticed it wasn’t that one shop only, all the shops in the new wing were closed.

Wow, I thought. That’s a lot of potential business lost. I wonder if the shops’ insurance covers these eventualities. I suppose they do.

Anyway, some things you don’t want to hear in a packed cinema:

• “Mummy, have you seen my pet scorpion? I’ve lost him…”

• “Oh my goodness, what’s this gooey stuff I stepped on? It’s not chewing gum, that’s for sure.”

• “What movie are we watching? What movie? Is Brad Pitt acting? I only watching movies that has Brad Pitt in it. How many stars did this show receive? Is it PG-13? What…”

• “Hello, miss? Can you hold my hand, miss? I’m afraid of the dark…”

• ”WILL YOU STOP KICKING MY CHAIR!!!”

• “Hello, lengchai, can you please keep to your side of the arm rest? Don’t make me angry aah?”

• “How come this lousy cinema don’t sell kuaci and kacang putih one?”

• “Mummy, I need to go and I need to go, NOW. Oh no, mom, I think I just WENT.”

Like I said, short post.
