I was on leave pretty much the whole of last week but came back to work today tired and dissatisfied. It shouldn't be this way. I was close to tears on the way to work, thinking "I wanna go home"

Melvin and I managed to watch UP (in 3D). The 3D bit was a lil disappointing as there were several scenes that didn't call for 3D at all. And the 3D visual wasn't all that fantastic. If you have not caught it, don't bother with the 3D version. It isn't worth the money.

There were a number of disappointments last week. Mostly with our local cinemas.

First, my new DBS card came with this voucher that allowed me to purchase 5 movie vouchers + a movie pass for $40. I went down to Cathay and was told that they didn't have the vouchers with them. The girl at the counter said she'll give me a call when the vouchers came in. It's been more than 6 days and still no word.

Then I went to GV at Marina on Thursday afternoon to get my 1-for-1 birthday offer. It's apparently an offer for all GV members. When I got there, wanting to watch 'Orphan', I was informed that I can't use the offer voucher for new movies. Fine - then I asked the counter girl what movie CAN i use the damn voucher for, since it's Thursday afternoon and the cinema isn't full anyways. Her answer? "Umm everything we're screening is new"

"So you're telling me, I have a voucher for my birthday which cannot be used for new movies, and everything you're screening is new. So in other words, the voucher is absolutely useless"

No doubt, GV and Cathay will be hearing from me very soon on their policy making.

I had an appointment on Thursday morning for a facial. The word is had. On wednesday afternoon, the damn company called to say "Sorry, we scheduled you wrongly. We have an overseas training arranged for all staff tomorrow and are unable to do ur facial" I said fine. If they didn't want my business, I'll take it somewhere else.

Is there any wonder why I'm grouchy even after a week's leave?
