Assalammualaikum wbt,
My husband and I are quite a movie goer where we would just buy the tickets and made a sudden decision to watch it. After Hanif Aiden came into our life, the activity lessen a bit because we have Astro Best and we still go watching movie occasionally but that involved a very carefully well-planned decision making like picking up movie that finish no later than 9pm, be back home before 10pm, not including the guilty feeling throughout the movie session thinking Hanif Aiden waiting for us at home..
So, I've read about the kids friendly cinema lately and the closest to us is TGV Family Friendly cinema at Sunway Pyramid. I know many parents bring their kids to watch movie at normal cinema, but I am too scared and would not take the risk taking Hanif Aiden to one because I am such a freak mother. What if the cinema too dark? What if the sound too loud? What if he's never stop crying? What if he kick somebody's head? What if he fall while we finding the seats? What if he eat too much of pop corns? And many many other possibilities I created in my mind. So, I am pretty excited when I read about the Family Friendly hall especially the part where crying baby and running kids are allowed woot woot!
So yesterday my husband and I went to Sunway Pyramid by Grab (we were too lazy to drive lately..). The tickets are quite cheap compared to normal hall, adult is RM10 and kids is RM5 each. We chosed a movie The Son of Bigfoot. The cinema is not too dark and if you bring a baby, there is a changing diaper station as well. The sound system also not too loud. There weren't so many people during our session.
This is one good movie I must say. At first Hanif Aiden were excited and sit behavely on his seat. The sound and big screen shocked him at first but after a while, he managed to take them all in. But, towards the end of the movie, he started to get restless and wanting to go out. He played with the diaper changing station, jumping off the stairs, throwing the pop corns and playing with the seat's side light. The only downside I didn't like is the intro advertisement took too long about 10-15 minutes before the movie started. I understand that is the standard for normal cinema, but I guess they could make an exception for this Family Friendly hall. It's not like the kids understand anyway..
We left when Hanif Aiden started rolling on the floor and kept on pushing the door wanting to go out. That is almost the end of the movie son.. He kept on pulling down his pants saying 'Berak... berak' (-___-) Thank you Hanif Aiden for humiliating Mommyyyyyy. By the way, he DID NOT berak, he purposely saying that so we could take him out *rolls eyes* Luckily there is only like 5 to 10 minutes towards the end of movie and we pretty much know the ending, so we left. Overall, it's quite an experience for us. We might want to repeat that again, but next time, we will get into the cinema a little bit later.
Then, we went to Dip N Dip and again, he's having a meltdown, he ran the whole restaurant back and forth, rolling on the floor and knocking the cutleries on the glass table.. I don't know how your mothers do it where your child could sit still, acting all angelic, walking side by side and following orders. But I bet he's probably sugar rush from the pop corn he had earlier. Eating Dip N Dip definitely not a good idea as we added up more sugar that he already had.. And I am wearing WHITE that day. I don't know what I was thinking. Hanif Aiden has already had chocolates all over him and we just don't bother to change him. We thought to go jalan-jalan riding the LRT but we were too tired chasing him and going home instead.
But, one thing for sure, no matter how tired I was attending to him or a mess I look at the end of the day, one thing for sure, I would do it again and again. Seeing his smiles and happiness are truly a satisfaction to me. I will surely gonna miss this moment as he's growing up.. I hope by documenting this, it would be a memory for me to read it again in the future and reminded me how much fun my motherhood journey was.
