Just like any other normal day, went to school to look for Mr Nah to help me solve some problems, but he was not there. Ebo. So went to the library and school lab to find out the answers myself.
And was wondering what VCD should i get for myself for the usual late nite screening: Martial Arts of Shaolin by Jet Li or Manhattan by Woody Allen. So i head straight down to Chinatown, but before that, i took 23 to Sim Lim, and it was another surprise in Arts Brother video store.
Another film from Audrey Tautou has been released under M18: L'auberge Espagnole! AKA The Spanish Apartment, that was the mulit european language comedy which has now been released under M18 from the previous RA. Talking about RA, yes, i went to Yangtze again. And this is related to my headline plus Jet Li plus Bridgette Lin Qing Xia and Sylvia Zhang. No, they are not acting in any porn, except Monica Bellucci. Irreversible had a re-run in Yangtze, and when i asked Lawrence should i go for the 1.30pm show, he said he wants to watch! Oh, he couldn't get enough from the run in Golden. OK, so we are going for the 7.30pm show tom nite. Anyway, the aunties and ah-peks do not even bother to check ID. If Golden is the case, i believe this applys in Yangtze too? OK, finally i can have the thrill ride of my life. Hehe...(evil smile)
If Yangtze do not even bother to check ID, this tells me one thing: I MISSED ALMODOVAR'S LA MALA EDUCACION in Yangtze! Instinct tells me that that would be true soon...
Sad to say, Visma enterprise do not have Jet Li's Martial or Bridgette+Sylvia's Dreams of the Red Chamber on VCD, so walked straight to People's Park Centre. Then, i realised that ex-Mediacorp actor Thomas Ong or Wang Tian Cai owns a gift shop in Lucky Chinatown. So went to the shop and the moment i saw the shop...
Ooh La La, Cindy Lim Shiyi, if you happen to read this, you will be very pleased. Mabey this can help you, and me at the same time. The shop is selling mounted movie posters on wooden board and Cindy, the things you want: Miffy!
Known as Link Station, this is the souvenior and accessories shop, where you can buy some movie merchandise and fashion accessories. Was attracted to the various posters mounted on the board. As i bend down for more, the former actor bent down and pick up some stuff and said to me: 'There are more down here. ' Some of the posters available includes: LOTR, Harry Potter and Matrix Trilogy. That's for sure. Not forgetting films from Tom Cruise such as the real letdown Jerry Maguire and my all time fav Minority Report. QT's Pulp Fiction and Michael Douglas's Basic Instinct are some of the posters available.
However, Amelie and Kill Bill is missing, so i asked: Is Amelie and Kill Bill available? The reply was: Amelie will only be available as special item, so i can place my reservation. Kill Bill? Coming soon. The posters are made in China and from what i known, Thomas makes several trips to countries such as HK and China to get the stuff. The price is not cheap too: $18 for 1, but compared to the Japanese chirashi sold at Esplanade, still worth buying it. After all, chirashi is just only a piece of paper.
Thomas and his bbusiness partner was chatting in the shop, and his biz partner tells me to sit down after Thomas pass me the catalogue. As Thomas was unpacking some items, i saw Miffy merchandise. I exclaimed (just wonder i get over excited or what, and it surprises him): Oh Miffy! He replied: You collet this? Nah, i don't. Cindy does. And telling them what i want, Thomas asked: you are not a local, don't you?
I'm an Englishman in New York - Sting. I think, i had answered this several times till sianz. Never mind, those who do not know are not to be blamed. And a conversation goes on and on and on...
After looking for several stuff, i say au revoir to them. I will make a trip back there again, cos i can get some nice present for my friends, and for myself.
Mabey tomorrow nite i will be there to take a peek of Thomas, before seeing Monica gets screwed up?
