...a life event I forgot to share. :)

Ever since my mom watched a 4D short movie in Singapore circa 2007, she has been fascinated with IMAX and all that. I told her that films shown on 3D cinemas don't have the water splashing in your face or the wind blowing in your body. I don't know the difference between IMAX theater and 3D theater, but even if there's no water, wind, or the shaking seats, mom still wanted to watch a movie on 3D.

It took 3 years for us to do that, simply because the nearest 3D theater was way too far from our place. Good thing, SM City Fairview now renovated the cinemas and they now show 3D movies! When we found out Megamind is shown in 3D, mom and I quickly went to the mall to watch it.

It was an animated movie, but mom and I enjoyed it so much. Not only was it fun sharing this moment with her, it was also great to feel like a child again. The movie was cool, a different approach to the superhero stereotypes. It tells the viewers that not all bad people are truly bad, maybe they just didn't have the chance to show their good side.


After the movie, mom and I had snacks at Chowking. The cinema was really cold, and mom wanted some noodles to warm her up. It was my chance to taste Chowking's Orange Chicken, and it didn't disappoint. Thinking I was only having a small plate of food, mom also ordered an order of siomai for me (awww sweet). I was actually thinking of buying myself some, but I cannot leave our table because there were quite a lot of people. I guess my mom and I were on the same wavelength that time, and yes, I am happy.

Good bonding moment with mom. Totally priceless!
