My 2nd movie | Terrible Experience

This is my 2nd movie, I went along with my Mummy & Godma Flo..
During the 1st 20 mins, I seated well & enjoying our popcorns. Soon after I felt tired and wanted to nap. After fussing a while on my sitting position, I was seated on Mummy's lap. Keep humming songs and looking at the people seated behind us instead watching movie.

The terrible part soon arrives.. I start whinning from softly to loudly. Mummy trying her best to distract me and calm me down. I was at the point distrubing the whole cinema with my loud whinning. A mother with her many children, seated behind us, started to comment that Mummy should bring me out, not to distrub everyone!

Mummy was very angry and upset by this remark. Isn't she is trying her best to calm me down? Cant this person understand her situation since she is also a mother even though agreed that I did behaved badly. Though I've calmed down for 5 mins, I started my whinning again. Mummy & Godma had no choice and has to bring me out of the cinema before the whole movie ends. Guess I dislike the dark cinema & the loud noises coming from the movie. Looks like I not ready for movie in cinema although many of my friends already been it for few times. Sigh... a terrible experience for us esp Mummy.

think singapore should start a children/baby cinema, where babies can whin as much as they want and all mamas still enjoy it.. and understanding.. come to Norway and watch next time.. they hv it :)

No worries mommy.. the trick i know for Jerral is to bring him to c the character he likes. he likes Thomas.. so i brought him to c Thomas movie.. and surprisingly, he sat thru the whole 1 hour movie.. and yes.. shorter movie time line.. max prob 1 hour.. any longer than that.. just get them out of the cinema..otherwise anyone tots will starts to get real restless..

Hi Shef / Chyun / San,
tks for yur concern..
Guess Hayleyt is not ready for big screen in cinema yet. The movie we brought her is only 83min duration and she already cannot tahan after 30 mins.

The saddening thing about Singaporean attitude towards esp the lil whinning ones in cinema. I totally agreed that SGP should have the screening esp for babies / tots while the mommies can enjoy the show. I know many other countries have that like Europe, Australia too.

Lil Jerral has behaved well during his 1st movie.. looks like Mommy San can look fwd to bring him to another one. ^_^
