Comic + Horror?

Didn't blog much the past few days as i don't have anything much to talk about, unless anyone wants to hear more complaints of studying? Ha... I guess not. As usual, wednesday has arrived and it's my movie day! Clarence and i met up with Derrick and Jimmy at Orchard to watch The 40 Year old Virgin. Derrick was late and we had to watch a later timeslot of 9.45 pm instead of the planned 7.25 pm slot. Had dinner in the meantime and settled down on the tables and chairs on Lido level 5 chatting about studies, exams and holidays. Seems that all of us want to work instead of study, maybe when we are working, we will want to study instead?

The 40 yr old virgin is a humourous show with a heart. Besides the numerous jokes, the cast especially Steve Carrell, are natural in their roles and each character provides sufficient comic relief. The romance bit surprisingly works out although the movie focuses mostly on generating laughter. An effective show that can relieve stress.

After the show, Derrick couldn't find his car keys and we searched the area where we sat down for the movie. We proceeded to search the place where we sat before the movie with no avail. The cleaner and security guards also did not have anyone reporting anything lost. Headed to Wheelock BK where we had our dinner and it was a futile attempt too. While Derrick was trying to backtrack his memories of the car key before it was lost, he suggested that he might have thrown it away when throwing a plastic bag before going into the theatre. We headed back to Lido and decided to search the theatre or rubbish bin again. The escalators had been stopped as there are no midnight screenings in cinemas on weekdays. The security guard escorted us up to level 5 after activating the escalators. There weren't anyone else in level 5 except for a few cleaners and the security guard. The rubbish bin had been cleared of all its rubbish and we went to theatre 1 to make a final check again.

We pushed opened the doors and entered the pitch black theatre, realising how dark it was when the doors closed behind us. It was really really dark as the cleaners had done their job and no light was on. Adding to the scare factor was that the gigantic theatre 1 was dead silent. We could barely see our shoes inside and it was genuinely creepy. I tried hard to shake away the thought that i might see "something" sitting on the seats by putting effort in searching the car key and speaking continuously to break the ominous silence. My handphone helped a lot as it is equipped with photo light, or else we will be maneuvering blind in the theatre.

After about two minutes, a cleaner emerged from the entrance and asked whether we are looking for this, as he dangled a car key between his fingers. We were all very relieved to be able to leave the theatre. It was quite miraculous that the cleaner found the key as we had searched the area before we left the theatre the first time. Perhaps the key had dropped from his pocket and was accidentally kicked somewhere.

Got a lift back home in Derrick's car after the "ordeal". Going back to school later for two more lessons.
