Movies

In the past, watching a movie is not as easy and affordable as now. I remembered that the choice of movies was very limited, mainly which are indian and chinese movies and once a while, some english blockbluster. Back then, the only way to publicize was through huge posters hung outside the Cinema. Some Cinemas would advertise on newspaper as well...

The only chance to visit the cinema was when we went to our granny house at Chinatown. Back then, the movie theatre at Chinatown (was it called 唐城?) was one of the famous and few in Singapore.
The first movie that i watched at the cinema was a chinese ghost movie. I could still remembered the movies that we watched as it wasnt an everyday event. We would always pester our aunt to bring us for movie each and everytime we see her at home.
There was also this zhi zhi ah bei..who would also bring me and Adec to catch a show if he happened to be free :)

It was GV who made watching movies a joy! Movies ticket are more affordable...the choice of cinema in different areas save us the hazzle to travel far for a movie.
Over the years along with the many movies produced, it became a trend to catch movie among friends gathering or family outing.

However, as it gets more and more common, the feeling of the old days were gone. In the past, after a movie, we would always talk about it and relinquish every single plot of scene that catches our attentions. It will stay in our memories for months, discussing over and over the plots and scene of the movie.

Miss the good old days :)
