Movie Day!

The weather is lousy today - windy and raining. After checking the weather forecast last night, hubby and I decided to take Jovan and Angel to the movies today. Jovan and I used the movie ticket vouchers he got from school for being the Student Representative for 2nd Grade. Hubby and Angel used the vouchers we got from my mother-in-law, she can request for movie tickets vouchers from her company which gives them out as benefit. Why are we divided into 2 groups? Well, Jovan and I wanted to watch Harry Potter, we have been waiting forever! We thought that Angel is a little too young to enjoy Harry Potter and she wanted to watch "Ice Age 3". So she got to watch it with daddy. This arrangement is great because then one of us can be home with Ivan, who has been running fever for the past 3 days. :(

So our movie day started with Jovan and I leaving to take a bus around noon time. It started raining when we were on the bus.


When we arrived at the cinema, we realized that all the the ticketing booths are closed! Everybody had to queue up at the titbits counters instead to buy/pick up their tickets and buy titbits at the same time! I guess they were lacking in manpower since most people are on vacation and which bad planning on the management side or the competition is almost non-existence, that's why they don't care. So after spending some time in the queue (which I absolutely hate!), we finally managed to get our tickets, snack and drinks.


Jovan was really excited! He has been waiting to watch "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" for a long long time. ^_^

The movie was about 2 and a half hours long and we both thoroughly enjoyed it! We met up with hubby, Angel and Ivan at 5.30pm. And we were originally planning to go for coffee and ice cream, and Jovan, Ivan and I will take a bus home after that while Angel and hubby go to the movie. However, it was raining when we came out of the cinema, and since Ivan is still sick, we decided to have hubby drive us home and rush back to the cinema to pick up tickets and continue to the movie at 6.30pm. The timing was really tight but they managed to get into the movie with popcorn and drink 1 minute before the movie starts! ^_^

Their movie ended around 8pm and hubby called home to ask if we have had dinner and we decided to have them pick up MacDonald's on the way home. We spent our extremely late dinner (around 9pm!) exchanging about our movies. I want to watch "Ice Age 3" too! Hubby and Angel had a lot of laughs watching this movie.

Hopefully Ivan will get well soon (he is getting much better now) and we can go for a swim by the lake, kiddos will like that!
