Enter Sandman

So, what did then boys wanted to watch? Not Wreck-it Ralph. Definitely not them vampire movies. For the last couple of months, they had been talking about Rise of the Guardians. It was towards the end of its run, so getting the tickets was not a problem. The only issue was not that many cinema was still showing it. We were lucky that eCurve was still doing it although the show started later than I hooked for - at 6pm.

My worry was that the boys may be to on tired after the bowling and the afternoon tea. But it turned out OK.

And the movie? It was better than I expected. It started at a fast pace, but dwindled in the middle. I actually fell asleep, before waking up towards the end when the story again picked up. Irfan especially was laughing at the jokes. And the jokes were quite funny. The animation was also quite spectacular. Great fun.

The storyline was also straight forward enough for the boys to understand. Very funny at times although could be quite heavy. Definitely worth the entry fee. Something which I would recommend as a Sunday matinee.

Bowling Time

Upon returning from Atlanta on Thursday, I hardly had a proper rest. Friday was an on call day, spending the Saturday morning sorting out the admission. This was followed by taking the boys for their swimming lesson in the afternoon and dinner at KLCC following that. I then stayed up for the United-Sunderland game straight after that.

Sunday morning, back to ward rounds in the morning. And by the time I returned, I attended the meet the teacher session at Idlan's Quran school. Only after lunch on Sunday that I had some free time for the boys, and they couldn't wait to out then. So, they asked for a couple of activities; bowling and movies.

We went to eCurve since the place had both - plus Marche for the afternoon tea. Sounded like a great plan.

We first booked the movie - more about that on a later entry. Then it was bowling time. It would be Irfan's first. Idlan did it before a couple times when hen was younger and knew what to expect.

Off they went, all excited. Irfan felt awkward at the beginning but soon picked then game up. He did a long run-up followed by a loud high release, causing a thud when his ball hit the floor of the lane. Luckily there were not that many people about, and we practically had the lanes all to ourselves.

We soon tire out after a couple of games. Irfan actually did better on the first game, much to the annoyance of his brother. Competitive sods!
