Watching movies with a bunch of friends isn't easy in KYUEM. You can hardly find a good location to fulfill everyone's vision or will (or whatever).
Café was not a good choice to go to. Why? It closes at 11pm, or earlier, so we don't really like going there. And another fact that it was quite crowded, we could hardly hear anything from the laptop.
Indeed, we went to the basketball court, where we could clearly hear every single word spoken by the characters in the movie and we could stay as long as it had not reached midnight yet.
So, there was this one time where the incident which we named 'Mana Boss?' happened. It was another long weekend (long weekend- no classes on Saturday) and we seriously needed a rest for ourselves after the stressful exam. As usual, we went to the basketball court to watch, a movie again!
*Dimply set up his 'theatre equipment' as usual, his Macbook Pro, mini amplifier bla bla bla. We, the girls, sat there, allowed our brains blank. Suddenly, a security guard walked towards us and talked to me, in Malay. Honestly, though I'm a Malaysian, I should admit that I'm not good in Malay, especially in speaking or listening. Worse, he's not a Malaysian, bet he's from one of the other ASEAN countries, or maybe a Pakistanish or... whatever, who cared. I couldn't understand anything he was trying to tell me. Then, *Lim came to help and Dimply joined in to explain. After sometime, he went to a corner, talking on his walkie talkie. We had no idea who he was talking to. All we knew was, he wanted to chase us out from the court, didn't allow us to have our 'movie time'.
30 seconds later, he walked to us again, mumbling, 'okay la, kamu ni tak mau dengar, tak pe. Saya sudah call boss. Nanti boss mari, boss marah, saya tak tau!' And walked away angrily.
At first we thought 'Boss' would turn up. But... 5 minutes had passed, he didn't come. 'The campus is too big, give him some more time,' said Dimply, 'C'mon people, we'll watch 'The Big Bang Theory' first while waiting for him.' Finished an episode of 'The Big Bang Theory', we just couldn't wait anymore. We just started our movie then.
Halfway of the movie, another guard came, walking towards the vendor machine, bought a can of drink, stared at us for 3 seconds, walked away. 5 minutes later, another guard came too, bought a drink from the vendor machine, didn't even spend one more glance at us, walked away.
Till we finished the whole movie, 'Boss' still hadn't showed up, not even his shadow. We just felt hilarious. And whenever we saw that troublemaking guard, we would softly whisper to each other,' eh, mana boss? Boss bukan nak mai ke?'
