We watched Jersey Boys at Marina Bay Sands Theatre the other day, courtesy of a colleague. ^_^
I was scheduled for a hair perm that day but decided to give up my $48 groupon voucher for this instead…P gamely accompanied me since we are a lover of musicals. Felt rather guilty abandoning the kids to the MIL, even though they were going to nap and wouldn’t really notice our absence for the most part.
Jersey Boys was highly entertaining and we really enjoyed the great performance put up. P was so impressed with the lead singer (who apparently wasn’t THE lead singer since the understudy takes the lead during the weekend matinees) that he asked “How did they find this guy??” Such power and pristine crisp voices.
We left the Theatre buoyant and refreshed from the experience, even as we walked briskly hand-in-hand to rush home to the kids. It was a great date, and a precious time away from the children.

I saw that Rurouni Kenshin had finally been made into a movie and opened in Singapore last weekend. Was determined to catch it and P really indulged me. We didn’t manage to get any tickets for Saturday night, and so we went on Sunday afternoon instead. The whole guilt-trip started all over again as we left the children at the MIL’s =7 We hadn’t caught a movie in the theatre in eons, though I suppose once you are a parent you should stop thinking about things like that or get too caught up on what you are missing out on.
It was an enjoyable movie which brought me back to the days when I was a undergrad who had the time to catch 90+ episodes of the Kenshin anime. =7
Grateful for all these little dates that we have, which somehow make me miss and treasure my kids even more.
