My supervisor at work let me go to a media preview of the Australian film <a href=\"http:\/\/www.japanesestory.com.au\">A Japanese Story<\/a>.<br \/>\nNow don&#8217;t be mistaken &#8211; there&#8217;s nothing glamorous about media previews. There&#8217;s a difference between a preview and a premiere. The former is where a small bunch of people from the media go to the cinema and get to see a film before its official release date. Reviews are expected to be written later. The latter however is when there&#8217;s lots of promotion of the film with local celebs turning up for the screening amidst the pomp and fanfare.<br \/>\nI was supposed to go with a colleague but she had to back out at the last minute due to some matter she had to attend to. So I was allowed to ask a friend along. Called D and fortunately she was free to make it at such short notice.<br \/>\nAnyway, I didn&#8217;t really like the film. Thought it was a bit too slow for me. I won&#8217;t go into it here as I&#8217;m still mulling over how to write a review. I&#8217;m so pathetic at writing reviews! Really need to go for some writing class.<br \/>\nAfter the show ended, I had to, tragically, head back to the office. My shift wasn&#8217;t over yet! Ah well, at least I got to get away for about 3.5 hours. hee.<br \/>\nSo I returned to the office, did some work, waited for 11.30pm, hopped into the mini-van, reached home, had a shower and crashed into bed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Enjoyed a bit of a treat last night.
