. . . feeling blue on an orange night . . .

assalamualaikum

i was really looking forward to watching X-Files premier in Geneva last night at the hyped up OrangeCinema which was located smack right near the lake. it was absolutely beautiful. i mean, clear sky (for a while), watching the sun setting as we wait for the movie to start n d cool breeze of night.





the cinema was jammed packed with avid X-Files fan, each n everyone bringing either jackets, towels, pillow, chips, drinks... just to get comfy while watching the movie. i was there early. too early. i came in around 8pm just so that i could get good seats. i really did... since there wasn't anyone around. i was frankly surprised for a moment thinking that not many people really like paranormal movies. then as i was checking out my ticket, i realised the movie was gonna play around 930pm... boy was i baffled. i mistakenly took 2130hrs to be 830hrs. i can be really foreign when it comes to numbers. argh... but no worries. there was food n the view was absolutely beautiful as u can see from the pictures.

so, it drizzled a bit so i ran off to the counter to get a disposable raincoat. to my dismay, some a-hole took over my seat. i don't blame him coz the cinema had free seating so i had to find another one which was quite ok. as long as i'm in the back-middle seat, i'm all fine n dandy. it didn't take long for the rain to settle down n a few seconds after that, they started lifting up the screen n played on with the adverts (don't u just hate that?)...

i had this notion that something was gonna happen coz the speakers weren't giving out good sounds. n the adverts kept on missing voices n there were some glitches as well.

my fear came true, just after 5 minutes that the movie played, it suddenly stopped n they announced something about a technical problem. i could see people grunting n shouting out disappointments as well as moving to the exits. since i didn't understand pretty well what the commotion was all about, i went n checked with one of d ushers. to my sadness, they said the movie was cancelled. ARGH!...

but i was relieved that they reimbursed my ticket on the way out so all n all, i wasn't too angry about it. just disappointed that i couldn't see the movie. went back straight home n slept through the lonely movieless night...

wassalam
