And so we went out as planned... Like what has been planned, our date started with an appointment with my gynea. But so unfortunate, the gynea was not in. So, that item was crossed out. Next, we went to 1 Utama. We went straight to GSC's box office hoping to catch the 12.00 pm movie. But we were there 10 to 12, and with the long queue and all, we decided to watch the 3.10 pm "Batman - The Dark Night". That left us with plenty of time for lunch. So we headed for Chillies and had a wonderful uninterrupted lunch. It was un-rushed and we did truly enjoy our meals and the conversation. After movie, as planned, we went on a shopping spree - mostly for the little ones. Instead of having a fancy dinner, we opted for a simple one... and our day ended at 8 something...
I definitely had loads of fun! And the movie was great, fast paced, full of actions and dramatic change of points - in short, we enjoyed it tremendously.
Secondly, we enjoyed ourselves enormously... and we've pledged that we would do this more often... we have come to a conclusion that having such dates would truly make us more connected and refreshed... a different kind of feelings.
Frankly speaking, after Iqie was born I would feel terribly guilty if I had to work late or left him with the babysitter on the weekends. I ended up making all sorts of excuses to the people at the office so that I don't have to work late or attend any function after work or on the weekends. I even passed the invitations from friends to socialise. After almost two years, I now realise that that shouldn't be the case at all. I am entitled to some time off from home without feeling guilty. I shouldn't feel guilty actually...
I would definitely keep going out on dates with Hubby and recommend to those newly-become parents to do the same. My advise would be... don't feel guilty if you have to leave your child or children at home with your maid or babysitter because you want to go to the cinema to watch the latest movie. We ought to have our fun time as well. We are human after all... we need to be re-energised and to some of us... this is one of the ways to be re-energised.
