May we all be blessed with inner peace.

During one of the recent weekends, Mr T and I treated the girls to yet another cinema outing, this time to watch Kungfu Panda 2.  I absolutely loved the film...it got me cracking with laughter and it also made me shed tears at some touching parts of the film.

The three princesses loved the film too!
They immersed themselves fully into the movie.
During those touching scenes when Po had flashbacks of how Lord Shen's men chased after the pandas and how Po's mother had to leave him behind so as to save his life, the entire cinema was quiet save for my 11 year old and 6 year old who were sobbing away. They lost themselves in the moment and forgot that they were in a cinema with over a hundred other people. I literally had to cover up No. #2's mouth as she was sobbing so loudly that the other patrons in the row in front of us discreetly turned around to see where all that sobbing was coming from.

Needless to say, when the lights came back on, 2 of our 3 princesses stared back at us with big, swollen eyes in dire need of a great big hug from mum and dad!
The poor, sweet little darlings.

On a different note......
No. #1 got back to school the next day and related to me that she kept mumbling "inner peace, inner peace" as she practised her basketball techniques in preparation for the school's sports day and how it helped her to stabilise the ball and do as it was told! A couple of her friends were well-impressed and the contagion effect soon spread and her friends too began mumbling "inner peace, inner peace" to perfect their basketball skills.

Funny how cartoons can sometimes have such a profound effect on us.
