23rd, 7pm, L3 : Little Fish

32 yr old woman trying to find love

YT, no, she not trying to find fish...haha

nice show...makes us try to piece the whole story behind the current circumstances

the asian guy is quite cute but i didn't like lionel. hints at brokeback too.

and tat marks the end of my film fest exploits.

actuali still got some shows i wana watch but need to find ppl to watch wif leh. tat's the hardest part.

i mean i can drag LJ along but unfortunateli she onli ard 1 day out of the 4 days tat i catching shows on....sigh...ger, pls gif mi ur roster earli next time.

i muz blog abt tis separateli but ticketcharge sux! big time!

the onli element tat spoilt the entire film fest experience was not the films but the horrible ticketing system.

we got our tickets days after sales started as we are kiasu & didn't wana end up missing any shows we wana watch.

the first show we caught at lido. seating plan wasn't updated at point of sales so the tickets we held were for non existent seats.

fine, we were offered alternative seats tat still had 4 of us seated together.

last sun, the ultimate happened.

we were again holding tickets for non existent seats and we had 2 choices of alternative tickets

3 + 1 : seats in 5 & 6th row from the front...no prizes for guessing hoo's sitting alone...haha

2+2 seats for 5th row from front & somewhere in the middle of cinema.

after some pondering, we opted for 2+2 seats since at least nobody has to sit alone and at least we got 2 better seats.

guess wat?

the ger went into cinema to check and said the 2+2 seats are taken!!!

wat the *&^%

faced wif no other option unless we ask for refund and miss the show! we took the 3+1 tickets.

to our surprise, it was for the row of 4 seats at the side of the cinema.

now hoo would buy the one seat in our row?

to make things worse, there were lotsa empty seats in the centre of the cinema.

now, judging by the turnout at the previous 7 shows i caught, i seriously dun tink so many ppl wun buy tickets and not go for the show.

muz be the f$%^ed up system of Ticketcharge again.

and they charged a surcharge for their ticketing services?? nah beh! muz complain & demand refund!
