Wanna watch a movie???

8 years ago, we watched a movie.

Well not so much watch as cower behind our shawls and cardigans whacking each other repeatedly and crying :-

"I can't BELIEVE I let you talk me into watching this!!!!!"
"But YOU booked and bought the tickets! And you said it got good reviews!"
"I'm soooooo not watching any movie with you again... EVER!!!!!"
"You said YES! NOBODY forced you into this!!!!!"
"I'm never talking to you again.... EVER!!!!"

From this experience....

I've learnt to appreciate sleeping with the lights on. Did it for 3 years running after the movie.

I've learnt to avoid empty lifts. It took me awhile not to freak out when a lift opens at an unchosen floor, to an empty hallway.

I've learnt to not look too long at the roasted pork and bbq-ed meats at the local chicken rice stall.

I've learnt to respect horror movies at a level I never imagined they deserved.

So this was in 2002. The movie in question? "The Eye" by the Pang brothers.

8 years on.

She asks me again.

"Wanna watch a movie? "Child's Eye" from the same people who made "The Eye""

Of course memories of everything we went through 8 years ago, the many many months it took me to finally sleep with the lights off again came flooding back to me.

A split second later I answered :-

"Sure!"

Sigh. Humans. We never learn!

Decisions, decisions......

It's been a long LOOOOOONG time coming this decision.

But I've pretty much decided that I WILL get a new car, I've decided on WHICH model of the car and the SPECs I'm gonna get it in.

The only thing I have left to decide is.....

BLACK or WHITE!??!??!!??!!!!
