Went to the cinema today

Today, Jamie (CT's Singaporean colleague) went with us to church. She attends City Harvest Church in Singapore. So, we invited her and she was willing to go. It was a great service today. CT was crying a little as he was touched as he was singing in church. During the sermon half way, the pastor got everyone to stand up and sing some worship songs. Very ministering..

After a great service, we took Jamie out for lunch overlooking the Mobile Bay Waters.. The view was very nice. Take a look below...

The view from restaurant

The restaurant we went was called, "Felix's Seafood Grill". In the picture, you can see a wine bottle. No...we did not order it. Every table has one as they insert a candle on top. Just to clarify in case all of you think that me and CT has become drinkers eversince we came here. For the record, me and CT are allergic to alcohol. I will get sore eyes and bad throbbing headache, while CT will get rashes all over his body.

Ok,back to the restaurant. This place is quite nice. I enjoyed the view most as I see pelicans standing on the stilts and just looking at the waters has a calming effect. Ordered a seafood gumbo soup ( all kinds of seafood and tomatoes in the soup with rice) and a crab soup. Also ordered calamari as I have never eaten that ever since I came here as the people in Mobile do not believe in eating bait food for the fish. SO, it was unusual to find calamari in the menu. So, of course, being an opportunist, I ordered it! And being a submissive wife, I asked CT first before ordering! For the main dish,I ordered a grilled grouper with turnip greens as the sides. I love turnip greens as it is cooked like Chinese style. Will take a picture of it next time when I eat it again for you to see and learn. CT ordered a stuffed flounder. It was cheesy. Too filling.

We treated Jamie for lunch which costs up to US$56 plus tax. Though it seems expensive, CT gave the ladies a treat cheerfully. :)

After lunch, I went back to prepare for dinner. I plucked the mint leaves from the stem, one by one so that later I can just cook it straight after my movie show. We went out shortly after plucking all the mint leaves. Followed Kok Fong and Gek Teng to the cinema which was about 10-15 mins away. Very nice pleasant drive with little traffic. We went to watch "Kingdom of Heaven". The movie show is by the director of "Gladiator"-Ridley Scott.

I thought CT would like the show as he loves to watch epic shows with a lot of people involved-like Gladiator or Braveheart. So, I took him to watch. This cinema we went to is a different one from the last time we went. This one shows new movies, so it is slightly more expensive- US$4.50. Before the show started, they show a lot of previews of movies coming up during summer. Boy, it looks really exciting. Saw the previews for the new Batman movie, for a action show starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, a inspirational golf show based on true story (which my dad may like)etc..All coming out soon in summer. I will def catch the Batman one since I love shows like these-X Men, Spiderman...

The "Kingdom of Heaven" show is not really nice. It shows the war between Christians and Muslims in Jerusalem. Me and CT did not like it as it is not true history facts. The fighting/war is like gladiator-so violent and like "The Last Samurai" with a lot of soldiers involved..and died..

After the show, went home and cooked dinner. Had roast chicken and mint leaves with egg. I love mint leaves with egg. Very fragrant. Cooked rice as well. Simple dinner as still full from lunch.

Now, watching VCD after dinner and eating the brownies I made for Gek Teng's birthday. She shared some with me.
