Do you believe me that advertisements are one the reason I was what I
was? They are the one who should be blamed. Nowadays, advertisements of movies
are everywhere. When i’m in the car, i could see the gigantic blue billboards
of Avatar. When i arrived at school, the ambient school bus stop with Jaden
Smith in his karate suit (just another form of advertisers taking advantages as
if it has something to do with school’s bullying) caught my eyes and sometimes,
when i’m waiting for my mom to fetch me after school is over, out of nowhere, a
pamplet of Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn just flew to me face. Yeah, I’m not
joking. This happened to me once.

That is what kind of advertisement I saw daily
just in my going-to-school’s journey. Beyond that time, I just hopes that all
of the ads stopped existing. They kept on coming as if the air. And
unfortunately for me, movies are my air. I cannot breathe without them.
Literally. I have asthma and when I got nervous, my heart rate was not in their
right paces. My heart beats and thumps like nothing you could ever imagine. And
movies were the only drugs to cure them.
Back
to the story. After getting to Mid Valley. I would be rushing to GSC (Golden
Screen Cinemas) on the third level and I would just go straight away to line
up. While lining up, then I would make decisions of what movie to be watched.
Although I am pretty sure that it won’t be taking too long because usually the
night before, I would have read reviews from premier screening’s audiences just
to make comparisons of which to watch first. But in the end, it does not really
matter, since I would always have tomorrow to watch, what I left.
Mid Valley Megamall is the most easiest to be reached

Basically, that is what I have to go through
daily. I would usually be arriving at home around 8 o’clock. Just in time for
me to have some bath and dinner before the tuition starts at 9.00pm. That was
mostly all about times. So, today, I am going to share you my time management
and budgets as a movieholics.
Summarising my time management, here you
goes:
14.00 :
School’s over and journey to Mid Valley starts
15.00 :
Arriving at destination
16.00-16.30 : Movie starts
18.00-18.30 : Movie ends
19.30-20.00 : Back at home
And here is my budget daily (unless stated
otherwise) :
Taxi’s Fare : From school to Bukit Jalil’s train station [RM 11.00]
:
From Bukit Jalil’s train station to house [RM 9.00]
Touch & Go : For LRT and KTM [RM 100 each month]
Movie’s Ticket: Usual Adult Ticket [RM
13.00]
Don’t get too shocked. Yup, indeed it was a
costing lifestyle. There are much more than what you have seen. And I am not one of those fancy guys with Merc and so on. I said earlier, just a regular guy from a regular family. Do you know, how
much was my monthly allowance? It was only RM300. So, how did I managed to pull
through? Stay tune for the next part.
Till then, toodles.
Yours Truly,
A (Used to Be) Movieholic
