Movie Treats From Nuffnang!! Paranorman Here We Come!

I am such a lucky girl! Or could it be that Nuffnang love me?? I won movie tickets to watch the preview of Paranorman 3D! Created by United International Pictures - Paranorman is never the usual animated movies that we watch nowadays. See this video and you will understand
Do you all remember there was a film called Nightmare Before Christmas?

This film by Tim Burton also uses the same method - with handmade puppets and changeable expression.
Bought my tag-along...who other than my Ah Pork
Don't feel jealous of us okie? Here's a trailer of Paranorman for all of you...
It is a story of Norman Babcock who lives in the small New English town of Blithe Hollow. Unlike his peers, he is born with a special talent which is he is able to see and communicate with ghost. But, everyone did not believe him not even his family members and he got bullied in school. Due to a curse of the town, he became a hero. 
Can't tell you the whole story la , you all go catch the movie yourself!
But, I can tell you what I have learnt from this movie.

What can we learn from Paranorman?
  • It is alright to be different from the rest, every individual is unique.
  • Brave and be true to yourself
  • In difficult situation, have faith and trust in yourself
  • Adults are not necessarily correct all the time
  • One should learn from their mistakes, own up, apologize and be responsible for what he / she have done
  • Learn to forgive
  • Be grateful for what you have, count your blessings
  • Family bonds are tighter than anything else
  • Loyalty as a friend
Guess what surprises we had? We were given Paranorman Stickers after the movie!!
Cool Stuff right! 
Last but not least, Big Thank You to Nuffnang, United International Pictures and Cathay!! If you wish to know more about Paranorman, do visit their website, Click here : Paranorman

I got to know about this movie while working part-time in the library as a form of promotion, NLB is giving out the Paranorman stickers if you borrowed 6 items and present your receipt during the promotional period and if you only borrow 4 items you can get the bookmark!

I love to watch animated movies or what people called cartoons. I was learn something after watching these films. So excited about it!!! Big Big Thank You to Nuffnang for organising such awesome giveaways!

I have many things I need to do over the weekend:
1. Go Natas Fair and compare prices like Aunties
2. Work
3. Meetups with Uni friends and Genting buddies!
4. Watch Paranorman (liked)
5. Pack my room
6. Finish reading "The Secret" and put it to practice.

Only halfway done with the book, but I think it is working- for instance, this morning I took a cab to Bedok to chase after my company bus. The kuku driver send me to the wrong place, he dropped me at a hawker centre that was not the one nearer to the company bus pickup point. In my mind, I visualise that I reached the pickup area and the bus came when I reached. I was initially abit scare as my watch is already 7.47am which is 2 minutes late, but amazingly, I managed to find my way and reached the designated pickup point and just like what I have visualised I managed to board the bus. The scene was at least 95% identical to the one I have visualised earlier!!
 I am so going to challenge what people deemed as impossible, recently I keep telling Ah Pork, I am growing taller at mid twenties lol. They think I am crazy but I really did grown taller by 1cm before even reading this book. I am going to change my life with this powerful book!!

Tomorrow is the department meeting that I don't really look forward to. I am going to do a presentation ~ I am going to test out the laws of attraction once again by thinking I am a very good public speaker to see how it goes tomorrow! Hahaha wish me luck or rather wish me abundance (greedy haha abundance sounds like every aspect of life is included).

Thank you and Jealousy Post + TVB Series Review...

Well, I must thank Resort World Genting  and Stephanie, ever since they have featured the bloggers' experience to Genting, and because of some free advertisements from Stephanie's blog, my post on Genting trip itself have accumulated quite a number of views!! Muahahaha

We still do contact each other via Whatsapp and are organising a dinner together.  The reunion dinner for the Genting Cool Bloggers and Plus 1!

Talking about Stephanie, I am so jealous... She won the tickets to watch Starhub TVB Awards and a Nikon Camera! *Sobx I only can emo one corner!* Lucky Stephanie!!

This was the blogger contest that I asked her to join!! She get to go to the red carpet and watch the award ceremony plus might be able to go backstage! *Excited for her* Can see the Hong Kong artiste like Charmaine Sheh, Moses Chan, maybe Bosco Wong (wow!! so good right!)

I also got join but never got picked I guessed. Since the ceremony is this Sat and there are only 6 bloggers and me never receive any phone calls. Think my fate is only can buy my own camera and stay at home watch Hong Kong drama to see the stars loh...(Keep staring at phone, hoping Starhub calls me)

Just finish watching this Hong Kong Drama:

Three Kingdoms RPG  回到三國 
It stars Kenneth Ma as Szema Shun(司馬信), a young game addict, who accidentally travels back 1,800 over years back to Three Kingdoms era of Chinese History where he met his idol and also his character in the game he was playing in modern times - Chukot Leung (諸葛亮) played by Raymond Lam.

Why should you catch this series?

  • Let me know more about Chinese History especially the Three Kingdoms where it is a very confusing period - conflicts were among nobles and warlords.
  • Reflect the morals of current society and how has it been falling away from the good traditional Chinese morals and beliefs 
  • Very entertaining and funny
  • Cultivate and nurture correct moral values in younger generation which we lack today such as loyal, humble, respectful, down-to-earth, responsible,etc etc..
  • Trigger interest in viewers to learn more about Chinese history and such classic novels.
  • Learn about some of the famous chinese proverbs and idioms , how they came about (劉備借荊州——有借無還,  說曹操曹操就到 and 万事俱备,只欠东风 )
  • Learn about warfare strategies ( 三十六计 Thirty-Six Strategy which was used in warfare and could be applied in daily life. Some of the strategies used in the show are  无中生有,  明修栈道,暗渡陈仓, 苦肉計!
  • Twist in the ending 
It kinda of make me feel more knowledgeable and wise lol! I learn about how we can benefit from traditional chinese teachings as well.

What I don't like?
  • I like that there is twist in the ending but also don't really like it
  • I think they could have elaborate more on the Fight at Red Cliff and other incidents during that era (think the series too short)
Logically brainy me says " Finally, a show with not so predictable ending, more practically perspective"
Emotionally dreamy me says " Why no good ending?"

Now I want to start watching Ghetto Justice 2 怒火街頭2!!

I Need a new watch! ToyWatch be mine...

Eyes swollen and staying indoors for good. My day was practically black and white until I spot this
