For the Sake of Love

The Husband, Sister-in-Law and I went to watch Star Wars-"Revenge of the Sith" yesterday night.

Very fortunately, we received premier-preview-presneak tickets from somebody-who-knows-us (It's not who you know, it's who knows you).
However, very unfortunately, I'm not a fan of Sci-Fi. BUT The Husband is a huge fan so he gets excited on behalf of me.

The Husband is one whom would stand-up, put his hand near his heart area, hum along with the theme song at the beginning of the show, AND sit down, watch the cast listings roll up, bow his head, and pray for each and every one of the cast/crew for their talent.

So now that we have established the main characters of this true story, let me tell you how the title of this blog came along.

After the movie, the sponsors were giving out posters of the movie. But because The Husband took a long time to pray for all of the cast/crew members, we were one poster too late.

He looked so sad and pitiful that I nearly jumped on a kid who was rolling up his poster into a tube (he had a sister who already had a poster, they should learn how to share anyway!). There were other instances where I was looking for opportunities to find a poster for The Husband which I shall list further into this true story.

So off we trudged back to the carpark. On the way there, we came across the sponsor's main booth. This booth had 2 life-sized cardboards of Darth Vader and the other white guy.

The Sister-in-Law and I marched up to the guy who was packing up the booth and asked him;

Me: "Hi, I was just wondering whether you'll be giving this life-sized cardboard person away."
Guy: "Uggh..ugghh...me don't know. Girl there know..come...ugghh...ugghh"

So I followed this caveman to this lady and asked,

Me: "Hi, I was just wondering whether you'll be giving this life-sized cardboard person away."
Lady: "Errr...who are you-ah?"
Me: "I'm just a normal citizen who err..is a HUGE STAR WARS FAN, and who also wants to know whether I can either get this life-sized cardboard person for free or for a reasonable price."
Lady: "Ohh.. errr... I dun know-lah. This not mine one. This is sponsor's one. You have to go upstairs there and ask the sponsors if you one-loh."

For the Sake of Love, I thought about jumping on innocent kids (a thought is still a sin); I thought of "borrowing" a poster from a guy that had TWO posters (a thought to not return it is a BIGGER SIN); and worst of all...I lied about being a huge fan and had to endure two cave people while thinking of just running off with the life-sized cardboard person.

For the Sake of Love...
