re-enactment of the past

* flipping thru the camera album*

Read on Sunday times, in the Life section on 20 dates less than $20. chanced upon this drive-in movie thingy and decided to check out the webbie.



re-enactment of the past. 1970s Jurong Drive-in movie theatre. this time it's a mobile movie theatre which screens movie for free at different location every fortnight. it's a really fresh concept to me as i am born in the 1980s. which at that time, the drive-in movie theatre was already closed. mom n dad went on dates, driving to jurong in those days. when i told her about it, she was excited and we couldnt wait for the next one.


the webbie said we have to arrive at 7pm but being the kiasu singaporean, we arrived a tad bit earlier at 6.45pm. the field already had cars which lined up in 2 rows already. we parked at the 3rd row. going into the grass patch was a little jammed because we had to fill in surveys for them. i guess that was only for 1st timers. some bridgestone tyres survey.



the present day drive in movie theatre brought together by moviemob.


we were told that once we have parked our car, there's no more going out till the movie ends but we're allowed to go tabao dinner which we did at Liang court. down to the basement to meidiya supermarket where we got sushi and salad. and then to tampopo deli to get our bento set which can be heated up using the mircowave provided by the deli. hehe in the end we spent more than $20. oh oh! my yummy bento set which cost $14 (sorry bout the washed-out photo) 



movie started! Fantasy night tonight at moviemob. We watched Percy Jackson: the lightning thief which we missed at the cinema. movie started at 8pm and we set in the honda fat enjoying our dinner and the movie. wondering where the sound speakers are? well it's in your very own car! yeaps created a surround sound effect when u tune into the right frequency on the radio. if u close the doors and wind up the window then u'll get that effect, but to safe the earth and our pockets, we decided to wind down the window and open the doors instead.

the movie ended at around 10pm and so it's time to go! i expected that we will take a long time to exit the field, but the crew were very organised in guilding the cars out of the field. there were like at least 8 rows of cars but we got out of the place in less then 15mins after the movie ended. thumbs up for moviemob!
