today is the first day of winter! it was 3 deg C last night... brrr!
we went to Hoyts Salisbury as apparently they have recliner seats which would be more comfortable, and movie tickets cost only $10! we chose to catch the 10:45am show which was without the $3.50 surcharge for extreme screen (at 10am) and 3D (at 10:30am). previously i had signed up for Hoyts Rewards so had $1 off too, yay. will never get movie tickets for such a deal in singapore. i just checked and the price for 1 ticket at GV gold class that has recliner seats is $39 or $34.50 with HSBC card... at Cathay Platinum it is $38 for 1 ticket.
turns out the movie was being screened in a cinema that had just recently finished its renovation for recliner seats and it was the first time opening for a screening with its new seating plan. so there were some technical issues with ticketing where the seating plan would not show up and tickets couldn't be issued. the staff also said the technical staff were also trying to figure out how to get the movie showing on screen so there would be a delay. not sure how long the delay was... about 15-30 minutes? anyway it was finally resolved but the seating plan still did not show up so it sort of ended up being free seating.
they didn't allow backpacks to be brought in though, so K had to return to the car to leave his backpack... then when he came back he forgot to bring my hand cream and tissue paper so he made another trip boohoo.
another downside is that the renovation smell is quite strong in there as it was newly renovated, and apparently other parts of the cinema are also undergoing renovation.
anyway, the seats are really comfortable! leather recliner seats that are fully automated with leg rest and also a stand to place popcorn (and of course the drink holder). previously we watched Logan at another different cinema and the seats were sort of uncomfortable for me.. i ended up with an aching neck and back and butt. it's a totally different experience this time... i totally didn't feel any aches throughout the almost 2.5 hour long movie in the recliner seats! being able to sit so long without feeling any discomfort especially while being pregnant is great! and the seats are so spacious... plenty of leg room too. the angle between rows are great too... will not be blocked by anyone sitting in the front rows even if they are tall. super awesome!
K spilled popcorn over the new recliner seats though hahaaa... tsk tsk.. ok to his credit he managed to clean about 95% of it up. next time if we end up in the same cinema for a movie maybe we will find traces of the popcorn he spilled in the groves of the seats lol.
Atty continued to kick me quite frequently during the movie. don't know if the loud sounds disturbed her or maybe she was imitating Wonder Woman's moves lol.
after the movie we went for lunch at Sushi Planet. it's been a long time since i had sushi! my morning sickness is finally easing up and my appetite is improving so able to tolerate more foods now, yay! but was restricted to ordering only the cooked rolls as i couldn't have any raw food... can't order my favorite sashimi... boohooo... #whinypregnantlady
the restaurant's ventilation is not good though... oily cooking fumes :(
but they had a really cute delivery car, hehee.
we took a walk around Veale Gardens after lunch...
so basically that's our typical date: movie, food, stroll~
today is also the premiere date of Wonder Woman, excited to go watch it as i have been wanting to watch it ever since seeing its trailer. we were going to catch a show in the morning so i set an alarm at 8:45am... but ended up being awaken earlier around 8:15am because Atty was kicking me so much. maybe she is excited to go see Wonder Woman too.
