You're The Apple Of My Eye

She wanted to watch this romantic Taiwan movie "You're The Apple Of My Eye" very badly... and since yesterday was the last day of her finals, I allowed her to watch it with her friends... Her friend managed to get the tickets but it was for the 10.30pm schedule, that means I have to go and fetch her after midnight!

Gosh, it was the first time for me to drive to Jaya Jusco at midnight.... the complex was deserted.... I managed to get a parking place and boldly I walked to the cineplex alone....
alone and deserted... 
I guess I was the only one who came and fetched kids..
normally this area was crowded and full of patrons...
and here I was, walking around and snapping pictures...
and finally saw these figures staring back at me... 
thank goodness they were not showing "ghost" movie!
Walked by myself for nearly half hour 
before the movie finally ended... phew...
It was really a very late night.. 
or should I say very early morning when we reached home...

  2. Honour thy mother,
    Mother, mother
    You've given me two things:
    One is roots,
    The other is wings.

  3. During late nights at these places, I would be more afraid of muggers and other bad hats more than the lurking shadows. You are brave Claire!

  12. Gosh!!! I have not seen a movie for ages - not even on tv, what more to say, at a cinema and a Chinese movie at that too...and at such late hours. No, thank you.

  13. The night is a far country.
    I used to live there when my family cleaned buildings at night.
    I also drove taxi in Honolulu at night, the plot of my little novel "Aloha Where You Like Go?" @ Amazon.

    But now I am a day person and YES, it is very strange to drive about at night!

  20. Very scary and dangerous going to a 'deserted' place at midnight even though its a shopping complex and you went alone phew, must have eaten 'loh fu thum' haha. Went for a late show in Mines before long long time ago and not being a regular sort of got lost going to the correct car park while exiting the complex as most major doors and exits were closed and lifts not operating. Was like a night mare for Mango & me walking up and down the stairs with strange people at stair case and corners. From that day both agreed never to go for any midnight shows any more, better be safe than sorry.
