More firsts

Awhile ago I decided that this year was the year I would try as many new things as I can. More firsts, no lasts.

Being the MIFF season, I decided I wasn't going to let a good film go unwatched this year, with company or not.
Yes, I was a little apprehensive. Afterall, I'll be in the CBD, having dinner on my own before catching a film - alone.
What would people think?
But I realised, I'm no longer in Singapore, people don't stare and wonder why you're involved in supposedly group activities on your own.

Dinner at Chocolate Buddha - Blessed are those bench seats!
Onto the Forum for "Le Couperet", got myself a seat right at the top
only to be frantically waved at by a colleague.
A quarter of the patrons in the cinema now know my name and that I'm here on my own!
Great, people are starting to think I'm a freak! Give a big smile and go through niceities; move along - quickly.
The movie was hilarious, I even surprised myself with a few loud laughs.
But at the end of the night, I figured that it's only at MIFF that I'd get away with this.
