TGV Cinema Sucks!

Banner at the Cinema Entrance

By looking at this advertisement banner, what do you understand from it? My understanding is “If you bought your tickets online, you are able to enjoy a 50% discount on selected popcorn combo when you want to purchase a popcorn combo at the snacks counter” (Which i believe that is why they have the banner ad placed up before you go to the ticket counter and the snacks counter.)

BUT the Reality is….#1 the staffs know nuts about this promotion when we show them our tickets are bought online #2 They say you need to make the pre-purchase of the popcorn combo online! (Where there is NO option / shopping cart to purchase snacks / popcorns online) I made a comment and highlighted it to the staff, but the staff just say “oh sorry i’m not sure about that, and that is the second time i hear that answer from my 5 minutes of standing there”

That’s not all about TGV Cinema!! (Oh btw, I’m referring to the one at Sunway Pyramid) There was a huge crowd of people waiting and there were alot of Indonesian students around and its just different from the normal GSC 1U / Mutiara Damansara Cineplex crowd. We were there to catch a Saturday midnight movie of the famous X-Men Origins: Wolverine which was suppose to be a good movie. And after all the messiness of getting into the cinema and the bad experience at the counter, guess what?? OMG #3 the seats….Imagine this my ankles, yes you got me right, my Ankles were at the same level as the person’s head in front of me and i was wearing a dress!! Gawd…luckily i got a cardigan with me to cover my legs. But man, such horrible unpleasant seatings!

#4 here comes the highlight of the cinema “jeng, jeng, jeng” the pre-screened was lopsided to the right, one quarter off the actual screen and was blurred! (making you a little drousy) It went on for about 5 mins, hoping the technicians will rectify it but unfortunately not and people starts making noise. Finally, action was taken, it was off, curtains closed, curtains open again repeat the starting again. This happened repeatedly for 3 – 4 times to get things right into perspective!

Well i just wanted to say it was a really bad experience for us, since our first movie date was here and its so near my house we wanted to watch a movie there again, also they kinda shifted higher up and probably some renovations done. But after this HORRIBLE experience! I will never watch any movies at TGV Cinemas again! Boycotting them!!! Rather watch at the comfort of my home! (Luckily the movie was good! ;) ) That is the only thing good for that night :D

A Diamond is a piece of coal that finished what it started

Well this was a phrase i got from my chocolate wrapper that my colleague who recently came back from her Perth trip with a piece of Dove chocolate given to me =) Nice chocolatey taste ;)

I read it a few times and it was kinda inspiring and placed in on my facebook status, and guess what? quickly a comment came defining what exactly diamond was..with granite and such. Well true that it was…but how i find this phrase inspiring is that something how ugly or simple or undefine may start or appear to be or in the midst of developing, it may come out to be the best and pretty. And in the end is the best outcome and how we can sharpen, develop, drill into something to make of its best :)

Swine Flu Pandemic

May 4, 2009 - 11:53 pm No Comments

H1N2, was the scientific short given to this mutated virus. A mixture or i should say mutation of the flu virus of birds, pigs/swines and humans. The world has became so polluted and changed. This is probably one of the signs of what is written in the bible in the book of Revelations. Whereby before the Son of God come to redeem His children here on this earth there will be turbulence, turmoil, war, diseases and this time it will be Fire that will destroy the earth.

World Health Organization (WHO) has declared this period to be at Phase 5, where Phase 6 being the greatest. I have heard rumors saying that this virus has been around in Mexico for a few months before it was announced to the public that it was a deadly disease. (Probably they would have thought is a normal flu-but not one that could have people dead)

So many countries being affected, Mexico -> US -> Europe -> Asia (Hong Kong-First case declared today) it is something that is threatening the entire human race! Before the could come out with vaccination for H1N1 (SARS) which was a epidemic 3-4 years back, which badly affected Hong Kong there is still no cure nor vaccination available. Even though human kind being so advance and intelligent, we probably could not comprehend how the viruses can outsmart us and mutate on its own.
I believe all these are humans negligence and ignorance towards mother nature that make us where and who we are today. With disposal of chemicals, gases, pollutions, just to make life easier or probably for money sake, we human have come to the extend to do anything. With technology advances, each and everyone of us are accountable and have a fair share of using and contribute to the emission of gases to pollute the earth =) Sorry if i’ve burst anyone of your bubble, but in this century we can’t escape but just do our part to recycle and be GREEN :)
