Report For 10-11th July . . . .
As was made known, I went to Kuala Lumpur's Starlight Cinema screening of The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy last Sat.
Took the 8am Grassland Coach and arrived in KL at around 2pm. After slacking at Sungai Wang looking for Mangas and Anime VCDs which in the end I didn't find -__-, took the taxi to Bukit Kiara Resort. Almost didn't get a taxi in time as there was a huge jam along Sungai Wang (should had taken the taxi on the other side >__< ). And in the taxi, the driver started rambling about Malaysia Politics blah blah that I was relieved to finally arrive at my destination. -__-
After quickly walking toward the screening area, I immediately made it to the mobile toilet. The first one had a small frog behind the toilet seat so I want to the 2nd to change. After much twitching and cursing, got into my Haldir March Warden suit and make my way to the entrance to buy ticket. On the way, I was interviewed by the Video Crew and introduced myself as Haldir. ^__^ And when the fellow ask wherther I'm interested in a date with Gollum, I said, I rather go on a date with Lady Galadriel. Also pointed out to them my plastic sword that got a note saying "I owe you a sword --Glorfindel", inspired by the cartoon did by Criz, Julia's Friend.
At the entrance, the person asked if I'm a Lotrien but seeing no one else from the club in costume, I lied that I'm not. Anyhow, it was only a RM15 for the tickets, which comes to about SGD7, less than half the price of the Singapore Starlight Cinema.
After walking towards the front (and causing a couple of heads to turn and me being called Legolas @__@), I saw a nice spot that should be more than enough for me. And after I set my stuffs down and lay the plastic tablemat, I saw the Lotrien Gang. :P I think I recognized a few from the photos online (especially someone who was wanted for porno...I meant potention photography at the LOTR Exhibition) sitting rite in front of me. Buat tak tau initially cause I was shy and scare some of them will recognize me from the LOTR Exhibition. Then one of them introduced the group to me and I act blur and said haven't heard of the Lotrien. None of them was in costume as promised anyway, and from what I heard from the organizer later, they said their costumes too expansive to wear outdoor (Hello! Ringwraith Costume and some of the dress is the most comfortable around if you had covered the ground properly like me. Anyhow, Ringwraiths are meant to get dirty! @__@ ). Ya, as though my Haldir is not expansive.
Ya, ya, I know, I made it myself for the 2 straight nights before setting out to Malaysia but the cloth did cost a lot. The Cloak was SGD8/yard, the Outer Tunic SGD8/m and Inner Tunic SGD6/m after much bargaining. Throw in my SGD39 specially ordered wig and the money I spent to get the tunic raw edges overlock. And I still got a layer or 2 to add to make it like the original.
Okay, back to the story.
Before the show starts, I gotten some drinks and got to know my neighbour who took a photo with me. -__^ The FOTR:EE started slightly before 8pm and as usual, I started mouthing the Galadriel Prologu Speech and squeek whenever Haldir or the Ringwraiths goes onscreen.
During the 10mins break after FOTR:EE, I gotten some sandwiches from Starbuck and went back to my seat to relax till TTT:EE starts again. And when Haldir died >__< I made silent "NO!!!!!" with every stab he gets. >__<
Later, once TTT:EE ends, I went to the toilet (the one slightly away from the screening area and is a permanent toilet). More heads turned and more people calling me "Legolas" O__O (I AM HALDIR!!!! LEGGY BOY DON'T WEAR ALL GREY LIKE ME!!!). The line for the toilet was long and I missed the Gollum Backstory and part of Isengard in the process (but it's okay cause I had seen ROTK so many times).
Around 7am, the movie ended and I slowly made my way to the exit and authograph the "I Survived Starlight Cinema LOTR Trilogy Screening" Board. Wrote "Haldir Was Here -Haldir" and after everyone had left, took a few photos with the board, still in my Haldir costume. Then off to hunt for a taxi to go back to Pudu Raya and wait for my 2pm bus.
At Pudu Raya, KFC was closed till 10.30am so off I went to hunt for a MacDonald and saw one slightly away from the area. Ordered Bubur Ayam and Milo and slack there till 12pm. Slowly remove my Elven Ears, repack my bag and write more what I can remember while working as the Condition Reporter for the LOTR Exhibition. Was almost dozing off but I tried to tahan.
At 12.15pm, I made my way to Swiss Garden Hotel to catch my coach. Almost lost my way when I walked in the wrong direction but got there by 12.45pm. Waited for my coach outside the Hotel and it finally arrived around 1pm. Took my seat and start slacking till I had given my ticket and can start sleeping (3 Nites didn't sleep enough u know!).
The Coach arrived at the 2nd Link (hmm...first time I came back from Malaysia and gone through the 2nd Link) around evening and it was a smooth ride through the custom. Arrived at Golden Mile Complex around 7.15pm and walk back to Lavender MRT Station since the day is still young and I still got strength in me. :P Arrived home by 9pm and off to check my mail and such.
Overall, I had enjoyed the trip as it was my first time going to Malaysia all alone backpacking. Also nice to had met my fellow Lotrien tho' I didn't introduce myself. Will have no problem doing it again. -__^
Now, I'm planning to go to Singapore Starlight Cinema this Sat, again as Haldir. Interested anyone? -__^
