Woohoo : The Best Tiger Show


Me: Excuse me... I would like to have two tickets for this Tiger Show... Er... no.. Tiger: Woohoo show.

TGV: Sorry sir. It's full.

Me: Huh? But I still haven't told you the time I wanted.

TGV: I know but it's already full for the whole day.

Me: (in disbelief) Can you put me in waiting list just in case those who reserved tickets didn't collect it.

TGV staff: No sir. All the seats has been bought up.

Me: %@#!%


After that incident, I tried to buy from online. After clicking on the cinema, the show I want and also the time, I was shown this screen:

"Sorry. Please choose another show time."

First thought was this gonna be some error in my Google Chrome Java applets. Tried with Mozilla and the reply is same.

"Sorry. Please choose another show time."

I was like %@#!%. Then, I chose another show time and returned with the same page too. I even selected the show time that I thought people won't usually pick but the it's the same. So, I was thinking this must be some error with TGV website. I gave a last try. I chose the the show three days in advance. Wala.... I was shown the cinema seating page where I get to choose my seats.


While I was navigating the seats I wanted, I was puzzled to why I can't clicked on the seat. Most of the seats are in brown colour while there are a few without colour. I was telling myself why can't I choose the seat when there is a lot empty seats available. I sighed a for second. Soon, I noticed on the bottom right of the screen which shows the legend.

Brown colored seat : Sold

Blank colored seat : Still available.


I was like %@#!%. Looks like there is nothing wrong with my browser. Nothing wrong with TGV. It's just that the movie is selling like hot banana fritters.


Last week, I managed to watch this movie finally. Han Ching had to go the cinema herself and the empty seats available is 3 days ahead. Yet, the seats are limited. So the millionaire question. If you ask me which movie is the best I watched this Chinese New Year. It got to be Tiger: Woohoo. Funny, sentimental and meaningful. The scenery in Kuantan Beserah is really captivating. Most of the actors and actresses are quite well-known in local scene if you watch Astro and listen to MyFM. However, one thing I have to say after watching this movie is:

Shoot. I'm from KL!
