Movie Sunday


Going to the cinema in Malaysia is disgustingly cheap, as we found out today. We took the girls to see Kung Fu Panda this afternoon and after a bit of an ordeal to get tickets (we made the mistake of trying to queue up the old fashioned way!), it cost us the grand total of 5 pounds for the 4 of us. The bill for the obligatory popcorn and drinks came to a further 2 pounds so all in all a bargain treat. Rosie considers herself to be a seasoned movie goer after seeing both Happy Feet and Shrek 3 at the cinema, and so took it upon herself to educate Emily all about it, for whom today was a first. She got to hear about how it's really scary because it's loud and dark and the screen is bigger than a bus! It mattered not in the end because Emily fell asleep after about 5 minutes and snored through the rest of the movie, so just as well it was so cheap; we'd have been waking her up for sure if we'd paid UK prices. Rosie loved the Panda, especially since his most effective weapon is his fat tummy and she said it reminded her of Grandad Don. The expensive afternoon was topped off by chicken rice from the food court where Emily ate her own body weight in bean sprouts. Cheap kids? Maybe.... Cheap Parents? Definitely.......
