Bear Buddys And Films



It's a long weekend this weekend, so I head to town (Pavilion) where I managed to take some photos of the United Bear Buddy exhibition, promoting living together in harmony. 

I meet up with a friend to go and see a film here too, but it was so packed, with only a few seats left in each film, we decided to head over to Cap Square and watch three instead in relative peace: this place is smack in the centre of town, surrounded but a bustling local Malay area, but is completely deserted. Being the antisocial git that I can be, I rather liked the fact we had the whole place (virtually) to ourselves.

We watched New Year’s Eve, Arthur Christmas and the new Twilight one. Only the first one was worth bothering with really… in one of the interludes between the film-athon, we had coffee and beer in a really old, original café adjoining a 1930s theatre, called Coliseum. the pace hadn’t been redecorated since what looked like the 1930s either, and it was lovely. I fear that when the 100-year-old owner, who served us, pops his clogs, that’ll signify the dead knell for this place too…
