The kids are on a long Hari Raya school holiday. So, last Saturday, Sis no.3 and I brought them to watch the new Disney's guinea pig action movie, 'G Force'.
With Kuching being the small town that it is, we Kuchingites crave for anything new or different. This explains the human-sardine-situation at the new cinema, MBO, which recently opened at The Spring Shopping Mall.
Since we would rather go home and sleep than push and shove a mob aside for our 7 kids in tow, we decided instead to check out the cineplex at the Riverside Hotel/ shopping centre. It has been rather run-down, but recently they've changed management and it's now run by Lotus Five Star.
We were pleasantly surprised to see that the cineplexes were now nice and new and even better, there were plenty of parking spaces available! The cineplex was less than half full, so we were nicely spaced out and did not have to encounter the 'guy-with-the-extra-long-neck-who-just-had-to sit-in-front-of-you' or the 'irritating-guy-on-the-handphone-sitting-next-to-you'!
This was Claire and Eva's first time at the cinema and I warned them beforehand that they had to sit quietly throughout the movie and leaving halfway was not an option! Claire was very well behaved throughout the movie, whereas Eva didn't bother much with the show and was very busy instead, having a loud discussion with her cousin Marc regarding the different drinks we had bought! Halfway through the movie she had me bring her to the loo for the big one!
Anyways, I thought G-Force was pretty good, maybe because I wasn't expecting much from it. The critters were really cute and amazingly well-animated. It was definitely not as boring as 'Up'.
So now that I know Claire and Eva can more or less sit through a movie, we have another activity option on the agenda for weekends and holidays!
