Miss Emily Jarvinen celebrated her 5th birthday dressed as a fairy with an up-do highlighted by a crown along with wings that twinkled too, and she glided beautifully on the ice surrounded by family and friends.
This was our kids’ first time ice skating and they seemed to have enjoyed themselves rather well. Alex and I […]

On Saturday, we took the kids to see Ratatouille. They liked the movie but got really fidgety in the last 20 minutes. It was a whopping 1hr 50min long, and I think some of the antagonistic plots and feelings were a little more difficult to understand for them. At least they had lots […]

While Wesley was napping in the afternoon yesterday at home, Nicholas and I watched Peter Pan together to pass the time. Luckily the movie was not as frightful as I had imagined given its PG/MV-Mild Violence rating, but I did tell Nicholas to look away in a few scenes just in case. The mermaids I […]

We’ve been waking up in the mornings to the sound of People’s Choice radio (91.5FM KKUP) for some time now, and I have to say that my favorite program among all the eclectic music varieties is Aloha Fridays broadcasted every other week between 7am-10am in the mornings. Anyways, this morning’s music brought back […]

Today, we dropped off the kids at daycare for a couple of hours so that Alex and I could head over to catch a showing of the Chronicles of Narnia. I’ve read this story as a child but only treated it as a story with no deeper meaning than that. Now after seeing this movie, […]

King Kong
After enjoying a feast of singaporean food, our group was treated to a movie starring King Kong. The movie was entertaining but not something I would have particularly cared for. Instead, I found the setting/costumes in the film to be of more interest to me. I also noticed that they casted Adrien Brody and […]

Friday evening, a few of us ladies went to catch a screening of the latest Jane Austen remake: Pride and Prejudice (2005). I must say that it was a rather enchanting experience seeing this film on the big screen.
The movie was shown in a smaller auditorium and all the seats were filled with the exception […]

This afternoon, Alex and I snuck away from work to catch a showing of the new Harry Potter 4 movie. Alex did not have lunch yet, so he wolfed down 2 jalapeno-stuffed hot dogs along with an ice cold mochachino while waiting for the movie to start, and I had myself a cold-stone mix of […]

I finally saw the 1940 black and white version of this movie starring Sir Lawrence Oliver this past weekend and to my surprise liked it even more than the 5-hour A&E version of the 1995 version with Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth (who played a “Mr. Darcy” again in the modern Bridget Jone’s Diary). Now […]

Yesterday, we took the kids to see their first movie at an AMC threatre. Boy, that was a whole new experience for them. We hesitated so many times before since we were afraid that Wesley would get scared or was just too young to have enjoyed the experience, but we finally did it! We didn’t […]
