I received the invitation from Citibank to participate in the 20 Hour Movie Marathon Challenge organized by them in conjunction with their 20th Anniversary celebration. The challenge was held at The Shaw Cinema (Lido) over last weekend.
150 contestants were selected to take part, but only some 50 over showed up, guess everyone else had something better to do. But to me, I took it as a very interesting way to spend the weekend, since I enjoy watching movies, and staying up for more than 20 hours has been something I do almost regularly, plus, the winner who survived through it gets to fly to Hollywood and stay for free for 4 nights. Given all the good reasons to be in it, who would say no?
The challenge began on 12 noon on Saturday.
