It finally ended.

I headed off to the National Cinema Museum just a few blocks away with teammate Anita and Elaine. We would bump into Alvaro at the museum.

The hat and scarf of my hero Fellini were two of the many many things displayed in the awesome museum.

There was actually a horror film-themed exhibition going on in the museum.

When I was 14-15, I fell in love so much with Casablanca that I was watching it almost every week.

Scrap heap!


Alvaro and Elaine left. Anita and I took the elevator up to the observation deck. It was an epic elevator ride.
