It’s been 2 years since i last stepped into the cinema to enjoy a 2hr comfort of big screen movie along with the munchies of popcorn. Since Emma has been much sensible to things around her these days; I thought maybe its time to give her an experience of this wonderful big screen. We picked Kung Fu Panda as it is a highly anticipated movie recommended by kids from my neighbourhood. Before leaving the house, I made sure I had her favourite snacks and lots of Rusk prepared for her in case she starts to get cranky halfway though the movie. When it’s our turn to get tickets, I sat Em down at the counter so we can pick a good seat from the ticketing booth’s screen. She was so excited to see the keyboard and the computer that she tried to climb over by sticking her head and nearly the half body in (if I did not stop her) through the glass panel to get into the ticketing booth. It was so funny as she had her hood up and from the back view she looked like a ‘baby mugger’ which in turn gave a good little giggle to the crowd who is patiently waiting for their turn.
When we got into our seats, the advertisements and previews had just begun. Emma was so trilled to see such a big motion screen that she began mumbling her usual ‘oh’ ‘oh’ oh’ pointing here and there, frantically turning her head to and fro searching for the direction of the sound until the lights go off. Finally, when all the excitement subsides she just lay backwards stirring her chubby legs front and back while singing to her ‘tribal’ tunes.
At start, she was enjoying every minute until halfway through the movie, she was fighting her way to get down to the alley, strolling through strangers peeking under the seats as if is a treasure hunt quest; passing me every rubbish she could find.
Overall, I guess I was the one who ended up enjoying the movie more than her while she was more interested with the surroundings and the darkness and massive laughter in the room.
