Tuesday Movies

 How to juggle budget while still enjoy some entertainment?  

Take the middle path, go watch movies on Tuesday instead of Friday or weekends. $12.50  X 2 (weekend ticket price $11.50 plus booking fee of $1, that's like $25 for two tickets)  On Tuesday, GV member price $6.50 (booking fee $1.50!? but if you can skip it, skip it. Just take the chance and buy the tickets over the counter since it is less crowded on a Tuesday anyway). So that's $13 for two.

Hotel Transylvania 2 is about what it takes to truly accept someone who is different from you. It's like, you know, some grandparents say that they accept that their kid marries someone of a different race, but deep inside them, they hope that their grandchildren will be "more like them" than like the other race from the inter-race marriage.

 I was in the kitchen,,, snacking and having yet another glass of red when she insists I follow her to the room as she has something to show me. It's one of the Toy Laptop that they have chucked aside since last December and it became toy-flavour-of-the-month now. She was showing me a few installed tunes, like the 999-legged worm song, Oh! Susanna, etc. She kept the surprise final-- Gavotte! Wa hahaha. The whole Gavotte, repeats included, on a low-tech toy laptop. That's so amusing, the two of us sang to it, I mean, I hummed, she sang the fingering notes ( eg: 2 3 2 1 4 3 2 A 2, 12, 3)  it was amusing and only the two of us got it.... you know, it's something common that we share.

Both Kiki & Colin can't bear to return this book (to their school), this is the last from a series. It's about the adventures that are activated by a magic key that belongs to a boy & his older siblings; magical adventures they took with three other pairs of sibling neighbours. I told KiCo not to despair because Colin will get to borrow the same set of books when he is in K2 which is in another 2 years. But they were still sad that they will have to wait for two years to read those books again. Ha ha. 

Then Kiki asked me what is the bone doing there.

What bone? I asked.

There, that bone in that spin box. She pointed.

Good eye, good eye. But I also don't know what that bone is doing there. Maybe for a lucky dog.

Rather unusual to have a bone in a toy dispenser machine even if it's a toy bone. how will it get dispensed? it wouldn't fit into the knob from the inside. 

Probably an insider's joke by the illustrator as a parting shot. You know, some artists like to embed words, signatures, symbols, messages onto their drawings or even architectures.
