Money Matters: stories from the weekend

The Good: Took my buddies out for a movie. We spent RM22 for 4 tickets on a Saturday night. Made possible with the OCBC Titanium credit card which offers a 1 for 1 on all movie tickets at Cathay Cineleisure. Oh, and Iron Man rocks!

The Bad: Got charged RM1.30 for a glass of warm water at Gurney Drive in The Gardens Mid Valley. Mel and I had a glass each. RM2.60 + 5% tax + 5 sen rounding = RM2.75 just for water! Isn't there a law against this? The Good: we won't be going back there again.

Not in The Gardens at MidValley lah, dei. Most places, save for mamaks, charge you for your ass on their seat.

Thanks for the tickets on Saturday. It was a kick-ass Saturday! Iron Man rocked lah! Jon Favreau did an excellent job, I think! He's come a long way from a recurring role on Friends, don't you think?

And say what you want about Robert Downey Jr. but his role in the movie was spot on!

@ranga: I never bothered to look up this guy until you mentioned Friends. For the benefit of everyone else, he was one of Monica's "rich" boyfriends - remember the guy that took part in the Ultimate Fighting Championship?

He's acted in a number of movies, and directed quite a number too. Including Zathura! (Wikipedia profile)

And he also had a cameo in the film as Happy Hogan (Tony Stark's bouncer / driver)
