MBO Cinemas is Coming to town!
As many would have put it, it's about time for a new cinema in Kuching. Been a long wait for moviegoers as rumours have been in the air since year 2008 when the Spring shopping mall opened.


Come
19th August 2009, Kuching moviegoers welcome the highly-anticipated new
eight-screen cineplex and MBO's second largest after the 10-hall cineplex in Ampang, Selangor. It was reported in late March that the Chief operating officer Ikmal Nizam Ariffin revealed that the company will be spending about RM800,000 to RM1million per hall. With that amount of fund, Kuching will finally experience its first
3D screening - also MBO's first, which will be placed in the largest hall that seats 426 patrons. The whole cinema is stated to have a total seating capacity of 1,584. Aside from that, there'll be
a hall designated for couples only, accomodating approximately 50 couples - I
can hear thumping and whistles already~ From what i've heard, the sound system will be
Dolby Digital Surround EX, a step up from Dolby Digital 5.1, increasing realism of the dramatic effect and emphasising the well-sought out 'feel'.

It is located near Padini Department Store.


The escalator to the cinema.
Meanwhile, the Lotus Five Star(Riverside Cinema) which recently took over from Metrowealth and the Star Cineplex Kuching will be facing a worthy competitor. Although Lotus Five Star had just refurbished its hall, changed the seats of the movie halls and introduced a a-flat rate parking fee, it's hardly comparable to Star Cineplex and the coming MBO Cinemas. Star Cineplex also recently altered its blue and dark theme to a green and brighter theme as well as replaced the cushions of its seats. But it is expected that Star Cineplex will fare reasonably well but with an unavoidable slight drop in business.
On the other hand, the retail space on the 2nd floor of Spring will soon be filled with entertainment - targeted at youths, karaoke outlet, a few food outlets and more retail concessions.Well guys, another new entertainment outlet for our quiet city. Can't wait to watch movies like District 9 first on the new screen! where the comfortableness, sound system and all else will be tested. Sure hope people won't simply litter around the place.
Most of the information was obtained from The Star Newspaper.
This is not going to make any sense to anyone at all but one...
It first started with one but soon became a love triangle and with the blink of an eye, expanded into a pentagon.
It came with one, who was only picking and dropping off, but stood till this very day.
Then another, who was simple-minded and using the nice-approach, but reminded me deeply of someone else whom I would rather not have long conversations with. This turned out to have the exact same "genetic flaw" as predicted, yet things weren't that simple and with that come complications and lots more complications.z
Now this other one took a totally different approach. He tantalized and aggravated the second one about the chase where everyone else can hear it, which clearly annoyed the 2nd dood. Then he did an either intentional or accidental move of spotting with a date finder tool. That went funny, with ohSHAT and all that but this is the one that made the Move, yes serious and all that explicitly engaging Move until the target had to struggle with speech.
The others were all fantasiers who thought - too good to be true to be making a move.
And not forgetting the philanderer. Oh yeah, and the first one, who has extra chocolate on top but it was obvious that it was only trial and enjoyment, but nontheless, still stood till this day also.
With so many on-goings and blows and tackles to the one who least expected, things really went from disclosure and no-harm-goody windged to fun and olaa to knotty, perplexing, twisted and sobre.
Well all this actually helped make an "unregrettable" leave at very accurate timing. well not a total lament... but it could be worse. And thing is, the news has not broken out yet. oah sighs
