Christmas is Around the Corner

Christmas is near and Christmas Tree is everywhere. But I'm still down with flu :/ Here's a photo of the Christmas tree I took last weekend at Suntec City when I drop by the Book Fest @ Suntec (popular fair) . And here's the photo of Puss in Boots and me. I find Puss and Kitty pretty cute in the show but still Happy Feet 2 was in a way more exciting, perhaps because it was much more fast paced than Puss in Boots and that the show was really very touching. Whereas Puss in Boots was more of a cute but not exactly very logical show.

Popular Fair - Book, Stationary and Home Office Equipment

After meeting a friend at Marina Square on Wednesday, I dropped by the Popular Book Fair (Suntec City, Hall 601 - 603) to take a look since it is opened from 10am to 10pm until 27th Nov 2011. While looking through the various books available, I chanced upon this rather interesting chinese book that has various photos in it. It costed about $17.90 and it is full colored with close to 300 pages. In fact, there are quite a number of books of the same topic in both English and Chinese. The only difference is that the chinese ones are apparently a lot more interesting looking than the english ones. The title, cover and contents are structured in a rather different manner even if the topic is similar. Somehow or rather, I felt that the Taiwanese seems to be better at arranging their book layout such that it looks much more appealing than the english books, especially for those tour guide related books. Imagine, the Taiwanese tour books had photos and text of interesting places on the cove

Immortal Movie Preview

Thanks to OMY and with some luck, I'm honored to be given a pair of tickets to yesterday's Immortal 3D Movie preview. I would say that it is indeed an exciting show filled with suspense and surprises. The imaginary arrows from the Epirus Bow is indeed powerful and the end of the show revealed signs that part 2 is on the way. If you enjoyed watching fighting scenes and is interested to find out how well the main hero of the show fights, you might want to watch the 2D version of this show when you have the time. :) Just to take note, the show is   pretty violent as it screened the details of some fights. Lesson learnt: Life can be a choice, there might be premonitions or fate that's controlling it in certain ways but it's your reactions and behaviors to what happens that decide how your life leads to. Here's the Trailer:

An unforgettable event to not just the couple but to their guests as well. I'm honored to be one of them that gets to witness the grand event. Thank you for your invitation. :)

Bon Ami - An Amazing Event

I still vividly remember that one of the most memorable speech was by Ya Kun's CEO, if I remember his position correctly. The inspiring speech on the rebirth of the Eagle, inspiring us to strive on no matter what difficulties we faced in life. He did it, the eagle did it, so can we. Unfortunately, after asking google about it, I came to realised that the story was more of a myth that wasn't true. But still, it did inspired me. Here's the link to the eagle story video along with the myth clarification. Then, it was the fashion show presented by the modelling agency. The models really changed very fast. I witnessed them wearing 4 different sets of clothes sequentially. Then, it's about the delicious food and the interesting speed draw. For most of the lucky draws out there usually around a handful will win prizes. For this event, 70% of us won various prizes which is really very generous of them. Me too won a $100 voucher for "My Little Genius" program. As f

Phantom Of The Opera @ Albert Hall - Live Streaming!

After being a member of GV, I hardly read their newsletters until recently that I saw an advertisement on the Phantom of the Opera @ the Albert Hall showing in their 25 years celebration. As it was a GV exclusive event for Singapore, I decided to watch it on the 4th Nov. (Dates avail: 9pm on Fri 4 Nov or Sat 5 Nov) I thought it was some movie with special performance and has a 20 mins interval, which was very strange. To my surprise, it was a live streaming of the performance at the Albert Hall all around the world. I'm so glad that I was one of the participants of the event. With just $25 per head, I get to watch the best view of the play as it was a live presentation by Universal Studio. At the end of the event, its music composer - Andrew Lloyd Webber gave a thank you speech with the Angel of Music (Sarah Brightman) singing again with various Phantoms singing along with her. In total, there are 2 additional live songs. I'm so blessed to a GV member. Also, thanks
