Am I a movie buff?

Before I bought my brunch, I dropped by VideoEzy to borrow some VCDs to watch at home. An impressionable fact went through my mind in the store - The counter staff asked me if I would like to purchase a $50 credit option, which would entitle me to an additional 3 free movie rentals (be it VCD or DVD). I was hesitant... until she told me that I have already spent up to $370+ on video rentals in the past few years!

This struck me for awhile... Wow... I had actually spent almost $400 on video rentals in the past 3 over years? WOW! Seriously... I wondered... I must be quite a movie buff! And this amount is apart from the movie expenses that I spent at the movie theatres! Wow! Indeed, I must be a movie buff! It shouldn't be too far off to say that movies & video rentals make up my top expense every month! I don't even spend almost any money on new clothes either. Hmm... this really speaks of where my interests lie... =)

Yet, movie watching isn't without any 'good' in my life. In fact, movie watching has made much impact in my life. It has taught me much creativity & imagination about scenarios & about people. Some movie plots have its own 'twist' to the story & it interests me alot. Others bring laughter into my life & those whom I'm watching with. All in all, I can say that it does make me a little more smarter & wiser as a person, living in this world full of different people.

Well, at least I live up to one characteristic of being a Singaporean - a typical movie buff... since I don't shop (almost at all) & eat 'extensively' like many typical Singaporeans...
