Zombies at Chadstone

Last week I registered to go to a screening of Resident Evil: Apocalypse held by playstation.com at Hoyts Chadstone. So when I got the email saying that I was invited, I was excited, probably heightened by the fact that I had no clue where Chadstone was- and so I didn't know how far away it is!!! But after a few phone calls, I worked out how to get there, I even made sure that I had an extra hour, since I get lost so easily!

But hooray, I didn't get lost at all! I managed to make all the right turns, but that meant that I showed up one hour early. You'd think that being at Chadstone Shopping Centre- the so-called fashion capital- would be a girl's dream, but it wasn't. Half because clothing stores bore me (I don't know why, I have seriously tried to be interested, but I'm always reminded of my Gameboy that's in my pocket everytime I'm in one!), and half because almost everything was closed. So I walked around Borders for a while looking at books. Lynne Truss has three other books out for sale now!

So the screening started with The Making of Killzone (a new PS2 game), and some footage from the game. It looks so cool! But I'm not that into FPS, so I don't know if I'll get it or not. Resident Evil: Apocalypse was suprisingly OK, considering that it's a game movie. (Though when it comes to movies, I'm easy to impress.)

But I'd have to say the worst part was getting home. To get to Chadstone I caught a train and then walked. Since I expected the movie to finish late, around 9-ish, I thought that it'd be safer to catch the bus back to the station, but the last bus left at 6-ish! So I had to walk. And after seeing zombies roaming around, my imagination went crazy! A cat crossed my path and I nearly had a heart attack! And then this car came out of nowhere and I very nearly started screaming like a little girl- but I didn't want to have people come out of their houses wondering what was going on! [It was a neighbourhood watch neighbourhood!]

But since you're reading this now it means that I lived to blog another day (takes all the suspense out of it, doesn't it?). My advice is:

Zombies + walking alone in the dark + being in an unfamiliar place = horror! Never, EVER do it!!!!!
