What to do? Can’t sleep, can’t go back to my house. I decided to watch some movies. Rummaging through the pack of VCD that I had the good sense to bring along, pick out and watched Ladder 49 with spectacular performance from Joaquin Phoenix. It was quite a sad drama with the protagonist having to perish while rescuing people from a burning building.<\/p>\n

Still could not sleep even after watching the movie, I decided to switch to Astro and watch something; anything! Switching through the channels back and forth trying to catch something of interest. Nyet!<\/p>\n

Ok, next VCD: Madagascar. Dawn was already approaching with my insomnia still hanging on to me. Argh! This cartoon was terrible! The flow of the story was bad that after the first disc, I decided against continuing with the second disc. The bad storyline seem to do the trick though.
