    MBO For the Weekend!

    Melaka, small state, 2 existing bowling station, 1 under development and 3 Cinemas. Not bad for a small state. Today (Saturday) since no big events or state function, we decided to watch the big screen and the film is……….Indiana Jones. Why not Kung fu Panda? After a thorough consideration we prefer the Indiana Jones. This is because we seldom have time to go for the cinema and Indiana Jones is at the end of the show. Not many people watching it since the movie already at the Cinema for several weeks. You can expect many viewers opt for Kung Fu Panda since it’s a 3D cartoon movie and suitable for all ages – of course Pandas are cute.

    The destination is MBO Cinema. Why MBO? Earlier I said that only 3 Cinemas in Melaka. Number 1, Mahkota Parade Golden Screen Cinema. I grow up with the Cinema. The Cinema has sat there since I was kid. Usual place for dating back there in 90′s. Furthermore its Saturday, Mahkota Parade is at the center of attraction, a massive traffic jam. No 2 is Iswaria at Soon Seng Plaza Jalan Tun Ali or known as Fajar. No not in my list, as far as I know Iswaria only had Bolly wood film. Then the choice is MBO Cinama at Melaka Mall. With ample parking lots, less traffic jam, 7 screens with 1200 seating capacity and the truth is I never been here before!.
