Avatar is the story of an ex-Marine who finds himself thrust into hostilities on an alien planet filled with exotic life forms. As an Avatar, a human mind in an alien body, he finds himself torn between two worlds, in a desperate fight for his own survival and that of the indigenous people.

My thoughts:

Engaging storyline, amazing graphics and
absolutely value
for money!

Got me "glued" and wanting for more! For a moment,
two and a half hour seemed so short (can you imagine even trying to wait for 10
minutes for a bus and hoping it will take longer?)

It's definitely a
must-see show! I'm looking forward to watch
Part II (if there's going to be
any... hmmm... )

Gathering at The Theatres

Movies are one of my favourite past-time especially after long hours of work and talking :P. I've heard of people who haven't been to the theatres for more than 20 years (since marriage) and I can never comprehend how that is possible...... A great movie simply makes my day!

I also like them for the fact that good movies can be a form of great entertainment for everyone, getting everyone engaged (even after the show) without much effort from everyone. On top of that, giving everyone a common topic to chatter for the remaining hours of gathering. :)

Happy Boxing Day!

Merry Christmas!

The kids had it best with their lovely presents from the uncles and aunties (or.. "大哥哥 or 姐姐 for those who still think they are too young for these titles :P) !

Well, it wasn't too bad for the adults too, we had quite a fair amount of feasting from the potluck that consisted of:

- Auntie Yap's Fried Delight

- Ah Yen's Can Soup

- Ah Hoon's Spaghetti

- JJ's Fried Chicken Wings

- Ah Ra's Drinks

- Ah Yun Sandwiches

- Biyi and GR's Log Cakes... and...

- lovely Gingerbread man by.... Melvin!

We were pretty stuffed by then and thought we were way too full for dinner. :P Fortunately, we eventually went ahead with the last dish for the night,

- Ah Na's Fries Delight

and... some drinks (Carol's white wine and Ah Hoon's Choya) to "blush" through the nights. :p

And guess what? By 12 midnight, I was munching away on potato chips! Hahaha...

The Festive Season: BBQ and BBQ and more...... BBQ

Eversince the BBQ from the mid-autuum festival, it seemed like BBQ has been never ending.

While eating and gatherings can be so fun, the after effects, especially how you look on the weighing scale can be pretty... "scary". Gulp >_<"

Nonetheless, we were grateful (or rather, I'm more grateful), when we found that walking up the stairs is a pretty effective and less time consuming slimming method! That helped to contain the weight a little, and even, kept our weight down! Pretty amazing results and now, I am looking forward to staying on a higher floor, so that we can have more exercise! :P
