Hobbiton Movie Set Experience

By
After so long, I am going to upload to my blog again, especially since knowing that I would be on stand down working about 2 days a week in the near future, perhaps writing blogs may help subsidy my income a bit. Who knows maybe I might get some temp part time job along the way. 

Will start with my recent New Zealand trip where we visited Hobbiton Movie Set. It seems that the only way to get there is to get a tour as it is a private place, we can't just roam around ourselves. The tour guide needs to bring us around. 

During the tour, we learned a lot about how the movie making that involves hobbit works, the hobbit are actually adult size and the videos are taken using alignment and positioning illusions. When the wizard and hobbit sits in the same cart, the distance between them is about 3m, which makes it look like they are sitting together and I totally can't tell. I could imagine how hard it is to get everything perfect in the movie.

Also, it is cool to see all the hobbit house in the area. 

It is also amazing how they got people to put up and take down the clothes from the laundry lines around the houses every day during the movie taking. I admire the effort that they put in for the movie. How every scene involved few seconds to few mins requires tons of effort to make sure it is all good.

Definitely a must go at least once in a lifetime venue should you ever visit the Northern side of New Zealand!

Monopoly Deal - A Fun Game to Play @ Chalets!

By
I felt that Monopoly Deal is really a fun and challenging game to play, especially at the Chalet. There are many rules to the game, but luckily we had a  monopoly deal rules expert with us to double-click with in event of discrepancy! I feel that it requires strategy and some form of luck to win the game. So far, I always get good property cards sets but it always get taken away 'cos I don't have the "Just say NO" card and it tend to get taken away, especially if I've a complete set. Then, I tried the strategy of not putting up a complete set, then it also doesn't really work 'cos in the end, I don't end up putting my sets on the table. Perhaps, I'll need to play a lot more times and try different methods till I get the idea right I guess. If you do have the chance, try playing that game. It's really exciting, 'cos you'll never know how long will your properties stay with you! As well as, how much money you can have in your hands. T...

MMI Day 1

By
As I'm blessed with a VIP ticket, I attended MMI ( Millionaire Mind Intensive ) program today. I'll also be attending the event on both tomorrow and Sunday. Although most of the contents are in 1 way or another being covered during some of Executive Direction 's programs, I still learned some things. The truth is that, when I first attended Wendy & Jerome's program, it's actually a lot more interesting than this one. Some of the declarations sounds rather similar to Ken & Clive's program as well. So sometimes, I'll confused and cheer with "I'm a Millionaire Investor" instead of "You have a Millionaire Mind". LOL! It's good to be able to understand more about myself internally and the root cause of our money concepts. By understanding that, then it'll be easier to correct the issue(s), if any. In fact, one of the main reasons why I'm there is because I want to see how they upsell things. As I've heard about ...
