i watched a movie alone today for the first time [in my life] and i kind of liked it.

i've always thought of movies as a waste of time [because you're spending way lot more than i think is reasonable for the whole cinema experience] and always classified them as a kind of low-level group-only-bonding activity that i only do if really necessary.

[thus,]

i could never understand why chye keong would always tell us about his fantastic little single-movie days [he could rewatch movies 3 times or more, sometimes alone, sometimes with friends or us] but today just for a little while, sitting in the nice soft cinema seat, my eyes glued to the wide screen, munching on the illegally-brought-in chips from my workplace,

but lately i've been watching movies quite a lot,

and i kind of got hooked onto it.

and today,

even alone,

i actually liked it.

i guess i could grow to get used to this feeling.
