This is to say the trailers had already shown majority of the funning scene. This movie is 87min...so worth wkday prices in spore.... ah but here in brisbby everyday is the same....

The rice is sticky obviouly they added too much water...overall the chicken rice was ok... for $8AUD the portion is more than singapore but for quality any kopitiam in singapore is nicer!!!

Finally got to watch a movie here in brisbane.... went to to the nearest and cheapest cinema yst to catch harry potter. Phew... it cost me AUD 5 bucks on tue to watch a movie with my student ID...cheaper than singapore.

The movie was abt 2hr 15min. It doesn't have much actions as seen by the previous episode. There were only 1 fighting scene at the end of the movie. The entire movie was more or less about emotions.......

WE LIVE IN SINGAPURA the MTV version

This video sang by Hossan Leong is veri funny... enjoy the mtv version

Shrek 3 was nice but not the best out of the three sequence. For me, shrek 2 was the best with more laughter and actions. Shrek 3 talks about Harold the king fell ill and die, and shrek has to succeed the throne but as an orge he think that he wasn't fit to. So they manage to find a prince Aurthur who was 2nd nxt to the heir. This sequence we could see more actions from the different princess....

Strange.... i dint see Aurthur pulling his sword ahaha.... The only part that really make me laugh was pinocho trying not to lie but lying to the prince charming...

Bridge to Terabithia

Some people might not understand what this movie is about and the trailer and poster have been misleading everyone out there. You might think that this movie is similar to narnia where children enter into a world of fantasy and fight their way to retreive their kingdom. However this movie focus more on 2 children's psychological problems and their ability to create their own world of fantasy call Terabithia.

The main character, Jess is a boy who is abit of anti-social and kinda weak. He's always bullied by the 2 guys in his class and the grade 8 fat ger! He dare not fight but even his own younger sis was bullied. Jess was talented in drawing but his parent discourage it as they were poor.

Jess became open up when Leslie came to join the class. Leslie parent were fiction writers and spend most of their time in the study room writing hence Leslie was lonely most of the time. Leslie was a good writer like her parent.

Jess and Leslie quickly became good friends and they found a place of their own in the forest where one need to swing across the river with the rope which was dono hw many yrs old. They found a tree house and soon renovated it and call their very own home. Leslie was veri good in imagining things and soon they could see their very own world of fantasy.... with trolls, dragonfly warriors, dark master etc.

Each time they went to Terabithia, they had many strange encounters and they vowed to free all creature from the dark master. Soon, Leslie die while swing the rope across. Jess became very sad however he still sense her present around. After many tots, he decided to build a bridge across to Terabithia to make it safe for his sis to cross......

KK kinda slow movie. No actions. However, its a very sad story. Shouldn't expect a lot. Not worth the weekend price!!! D/L or DVDs....

Rating: 3/5

Istana

Went to Istana open house with dar. First visit to that place that was always closed and heavily guarded with polices and guards. Entrance fee for Singaporeans was free. The place is so big big big but empty empty empty!!! It resemble botanic garden but only can see more grasses! Botanic garden is 10x prettier. The journey up the house was very far up a slope. We pay $2 each for an entrance fee to the Istana house. In there were many 'treasures' given to Singapore from countries over the world. Silver, gold crystal, glass, painting...................etc.

Only the first level was opened to public. We could view the dining hall and the presentation ceremony hall. Nothing more...but as a Singaporean not having been there make me a bit sua ku! Now at least I seen the Istana for myself. There was a statue of Queen Elizabeth which, to me seems like the '观音妈' of Istana....wahaha!

On the way down, I met Ernest my sec sch fren who always fail exam tgt with me aha.... the 红字军团 of 4E1. ok the next open house is on the sunday before national day. Do go for Singaporeans, Dont be a mountain turtle!
