Experience at the Cinema

We took the kids to the cinema for the 1st time yesterday. Since Jerilyn has a collection of Shrek characters (thanks to McDonald's business idea), we thought Jerilyn could relate more with this movie. I was very excited about the 'adventure'. I remembered my childhood movie experience at the cinema was a disaster. My parents took me to the cinema for the 1st time when I was around 5yo. I was so scared of the big screen that I covered my eye with a kuaci packet. I could only cover 1 of my eye as the packet was that big of a size only. haha.... I remember switching the packet from left to right and back to left again. The movie was in black and white. According to my mum, I was making so much noise(probably crying) during the show that they had to give up watching halfway through the movie. They hadnt watch any movie since. Pity my parents.
Anyway, we bought 3 tickets (RM12 for adult and RM7 for kid). CH purposely chose side seats where there are only 4 seats. His rationale is most likely the 4th seat would be empty cuz Ipohians arent freaky to watch a movie alone on a Saturday night. So, we were all set for the movie, with sweaters, lollipops, popcorn and sodas to keep the kids occupied.
True enough, the 4th seat wasnt taken. The kids were sandwiched between us. I missed the good ol' days when we cuddled in each others arms. Now, we have to extend our arms as much as possible to pass the popcorn. Jesslyn sinked and relaxed in her seat. Jerilyn was slightly tensed. All was well until the bunch of ogres appreared. Jerilyn couldnt take it anymore and became restless. CH took her out and never returned. On the other hand, Jesslyn was oblivious to what's going on and enjoyed finishing the popcorn more than the movie. The 2 of us watched the movie til the end when all of a sudden, she cried. Thank God it was already the end. We left and met up with Jerilyn who apparently spent the time in those gaming centre.
Thats my 1st experience in my cinema with the kids

First Keyed Word

This was exactly what Jerilyn typed at my Yahoo Messenger window when all of a sudden, she thought of Po2.
pppppppppoppopppppp
She said "How to spell Po2? P-O-P-O" I thought she was just spelling it out orally, not realising she also keyed the letters until I returned to the window.
I am not sure what she understands about Po2's death but she talks about Po2 everyday. She'll voice out when she sees something that belonged to Po2. She often talks about our experiences with Po2 as if to remind herself not to forget her. Jerilyn would say "Go to Po2's house." and not Gong2's house. If she accidentally says Gong2, she would correct herself.
