Ahh, The Cathay Cineplex at Handy Road near Dhoby Gaut MRT
Station, a classic, iconic cineplex with a recognizable front facade that has
real personal significance to me as it is one of my favourite go-to cineplexes
for the latest blockbusters. Or so it was. Unfortunately, just last Friday (17
June), the sad news came that that this cineplex will be closed by 27 June. So
literally the day after this was announced, I decided to visit this cineplex
one last time, and booked 2 movies to watch there, back-to-back I might add,
which is something that I don’t think I have ever done before. So, as you read
this post documenting my last visit to this cineplex, as well as sharing some
of my most memorable experiences in this cinema for the last 16 years, I hope
this is the best tribute that I can give to this cinema that has served many
moviegoers well over the decades, myself included.
