picture this.....
you are in the motion of such an activity of reserving seats for a movie, a process which any human with normal mental faculty would envisage as a simple act....but this is a classique moment in life that should not escape being recorded.
of course, it is the normal course of events that you be greeted on the phone by Ms Machine (in this mechanical world) instructing you the numbers you have to press for corresponding cinemas, movies, day, time, etc, in relation to the movie that you wish to view.
but this simple little mind here failed to comprehend that after having entered the correct numbers for the cinema (1 Utama - press 2), movie (Bee Story - press 4), then the part for the day of viewing, here's the unique announcement from Ms Machine:
for Tuesday, 20 November - press 1;
for TODAY, 21 November - press 2;
for Thursday, 22 November - press 3;
for Friday....and so on...
since TODAY is 21 Nov, and the day the call to reserve tickets is being made, how on earth does one make a reservation for tickets of yesterday?? and more interestingly, do they also provide a mode of transport for you to view a movie aired yesterday???
this sure beats a lot of movies and cinemas in town.......perhaps this is the futuristic promotional feature for cinemas to lure patrons who have left a movie or two unwatched yesterday and provide them the opportunity to do so without undue loss of time!!! hooray to technology!!!
