I was not even thinking about getting a new TV yesterday as me and hubby made our way to Vivocity for our dinner with Mom, Dad and little princess. So after having a wonderful dinner at Marche, we were just walking around, looking at stuff when we saw that Courts was having a roadshow for the latest promotion of the Samsung LCD Tvs. We were looking around when one particular model caught hubby's eye. It was the series 4, 37" LCD and the price was quite good. So after asking the promoter questions and doing the sums, hubby looked at me and say "How? Want to get a not? Good deal leh!" I was not thinking of getting it but it was the free gift and the big discount that changed my mind. :) Then after a few minutes of deliberation, we decided to get the set.
Imagine, the original prince was $1999 but after a $300 discount and also throwing in a free home theater entertainment set AND $300 Robinsons voucher, Gosh! how can I resist such a good deal? (Typical S'porean...always want free stuff...heehee ) And furthermore, Marks & Spencer is having a sale now and I saw some of the stuff I wanted to get so the vouchers really come in handy. Hubby told me that the vouchers are my Mother's Day present. (I know, cheapo of him, but hey, at least I get to spend without bursting the card limit.) So now, I've got a 21" Samsung Flat Screen TV and a Sony DVD Player, which I have no idea where to put and it is still in good condition. Guess I may put it in the lil princess's room for her to watch her shows....

Ratatouille.....
Today, we went to see the movie, Ratatouille and it was Ashley's first time in a cinema. The thing about bringing a kid to the cinema is :-
01) They can't sit still and you will have to pacify them to sit thru the whole movie thus incuring the wrath of other movie goers who feel that you should leave the kid at home or,
02) You have no choice but to walk out halfway thru, bringing your fussy/screaming/crying kid out and by then, cursing and swearing at yourself for paying so much and yet can't even enjoy watching the whole movie.
So when Mothercare have sent out an emailer, saying that Berriwerks are organizing this movie event and those who are interested should email to them to get the tickets. I immediately emailed to them to book for 2 tickets, forgetting that it was a Sunday and I thought that hubby was working. When I told hubby about it, he wanted to go but I said that it was on a Sat and he was working. He looked quite sad as he had been to the movies for a long time already. But when I double checked the calendar, I realised that it was on a Sunday instead, so I quickly sent another email, booking an additional ticket. It was confirmed that next day and when I have received the emailer from Berriwerks, they informed that all the tickets have been sold out. Wow!!! Apparently, parents have persuaded Berriwerks to organise this event because they also wanted their child to enjoy going to the cinema also. Well, I would say that it is very good because it promote family bonding.
So this morning, we left the house quite early as there were activities for children from 10am onwards. When we have arrived Eng Wah (Suntec) and collected the tickets, there were just so many parents there. We missed out the first part with JWT gym as hubby needed to visit the restroom. So when he came out, we went to look for a place to sit before the 2nd part started. There were singing and dancing and Ashley really enjoyed herself. Below are some pictures from the event:-

Ashley making her way towards me....getting restless already...
Singing the ending song before breaking for lunch....
So after they have sang the last song, we went for lunch and walked around Toys 'R' Us. She was just so overwhelmed by all the toys that she went round looking and touching and wishing that she can have all of them. Well, she wanted Playdoh but I didn't want to get it for her yet as she will just leave the playdoh all over the place. Then, she found the rainbow ball and saw some hats. But it was a tad too big for her. Nevertheless, she gamely wore it and pose for it.
Then she saw the transformer mask and decided to try it on...(can't remember if this is megatron or deceiptacon.....)
Then she got hubby to try one also...hahahah.....
Then it was time for the movie and when we got to our seats, hubby told me that he was going to sleep and wake him up in case anyone wanted to go out...but in the end, it was the lil princess that fell asleep while hubby was wide awake watching the movie. It was really nice and as usual, there would always be a moral behind each story. The moral for this movie is don't give up on your dreams no matte what happens. I really like the scenes of Paris, even though it was in animation....sigh, wonder when would I get the chance to go there???
After the show, we headed down to Vivocity as my lil bro is treating the whole family to Marche. He will not be in town for the next 10 days as his ship will be sailing to Thailand and will only be back on the 13 Sep. So while waiting for my dear dad to come, we just hang out at Ben & Jerry, which I ordered a single shot of espresso for hubby, a small scoop of new york chunky fudge chocolate ice-cream, a cafe latte and a small scoop of chunky monkey for mummy. Then Ash sat on top of the cow and I took some pics wz her and hubby and after hamming it up for the camera, we headed up to Marche for dinner.
It was a really fun filled but tiring day as me and hubby didn't take our nap. But overall, it was good to go out and enjoy something that we can include our princess and I am looking forward to the next movie event that Berriwerk will be organizing.
