From the world above “Cars”, descends “Disney’s Planes”!

HELLO! Have you guys watched the comedy-adventure sports film "Cars" before? It was released by Walt Disney Pictures in 2006, and at that point of time, I was only 13. I was really young then and hence didn't have the opportunity to catch the movie at the theatres (though I did manage to watch the movie years later). After a long 7 years, here comes the next comedy-adventure sports film by Disney - "Planes".

From the world above "Cars", descends "Disney's Planes"! This time, come meet several very remarkable planes full of personality and enter their stories of friendship, courage and action as they take you around the world with a few laughs along the flight!

"Disney's Planes" features Dusty, a good-natured, fast-flying crop duster who dreams of competing in the most exciting round-the-world air race in history. However there is just one big obstacle in his way - Dusty is afraid of heights!

Despite this huge problem, Dusty slowly but surely succeed with the help of his good friends. You will enjoy meeting the many characters of different nationalities, talents and temperaments as the air race kickstarts. Of course, success does not come without any hiccups, especially when the defending champion Ripslinger feels threatened by Dusty's presence and will do anything to ensure Dusty fails.

Join Dusty as he pursues his dreams of competing as a high-flyer air racer and begins a journey of his lifetime! Watch how his courage is put to the test as he reaches heights he never dreamed possible, inspiring a spellbound world to soar and reach for their dreams!

Cartoons are not meant just for kids. Some random thoughts striked me while I was glancing through the gist of the story. Dusty faced several obstacles in his life - he was mocked for being a mere crop duster, he was afraid of heights and was discouraged from joining the race. However, he wasn't demotivated and was determined to show his worth. In the end, he made it of course. Life isn't as simple as ABC. We have the ability to choose and lead the way of life that we want. When others look down on you, you can be like how Dusty did. On the other hand, you can give in to criticizms and allow others to continue looking down on you. (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

Oh yeah, good news here! You can also stand to win Planes movie passes and exclusive premiums by joining the "Say it with planes" facebook contest. (what's that? ) It's as simple as sending your facebook friends a personalized message! That's it! 

So are you looking forward to taking flight with Dusty and the other racers? I certainly do! Anyway, if you haven't watched the trailer, here it is:

Celebrating Pat's birthday with a polaroid camera!

Hey all! Wonder how's your short Hari Raya + National Day holidays! I spent one day celebrating Pat's birthday and the next day on a combined birthday celebration for Pat (yes again, very  ♕ right hahaha) and Kennix. But we didn't take much photos on the second day, so I shall just post about the solo birthday celebration instead. ヅ 

Present for the birthday girl~    

I spent weeks pondering over what present to get for Pat. Watch, wallet, etc. Couldn't think of a present that she would like most. Lastly, the idea of a polaroid camera struck me. PS: The colour of the card resembles that of the camera   

It was a really simple celebration though. We started off having a late lunch at HIJUMI Japanese restaurant. I remember seeing long queues outside the restaurant when it first began its business. Is it because they serve good food? Or is it because the price is worth the taste? I believe it's a mixture of both. Since then, I've been wanting to find time to try out the food there. 

We ordered one set of the chicken soup curry set. This is the display set . At first, I was a little bit skeptical, thinking how could it be $13.90 for so much food. "Must be because the food  is served in small portions one lor!"  But NOPE. The serving size was decent ت 

In fact, we are entitled to unlimited  scoops of appetizers! It's worth the price!    

We were quite full from the lunch and decided to roam around town. As expected, town was flooded with many many people. You'll see large crowds almost every where you go, specifically during weekends and public holidays. I bought myself a pair of heels (finally) which I need to wear during my upcoming presentations. Hours later, the tam jiak  us decided to head into a restaurant and grab some food again. Eating eating & more eating, but this time meddling with the new camera too. (◜௰◝)

That's all for the post. ✿ܓ

Sakae Sushi + PlayNation!

Serene and I went out yesterday, intending to eat a simple lunch before shopping around Orchard Road. Yet, we ended up with a totally different plan (the title suggests it all). ت

Initially, we wanted to try out a burger cafe which Serene mentioned. It was supposed to be at Scape, but we couldn't find it. Probably it had closed down or that Serene had gotten the details wrong. Since we couldn't find the cafe and didn't want to waste any more time, we decided to just settle for a meal at Sakae Sushi. Despite the lunch hour, it was not a big crowd at the restaurant. I still remember during our JC days, our clique would always hop down to Sakae Sushi (particularly the Scape outlet because it's not very crowded) after school and indulge in the sushi buffet. I was expecting the price of the sushi buffet to have increased to $20++, but when we checked out the price at the counter, both of us were so surprised that the buffet is still priced at the same price two years back!  ✌.(ʘ‿ʘ).✌

Our favourite! That's two servings instead one. Both of us ordered the same red plate dish and the staff decided to serve them on the same plate

Since it's under green plate, it means that we could have an unlimited amount of them! This is for two servings as well. We ordered 3 plates of such servings  ✌

Also an unlimited amount of side dishes! Photo shows two servings too. Yum yum yum~  ʘ‿ʘ

Remember: some plates serve two servings instead of one. Hence this does ✗ act as an accurate measurement of our appetite. But I have to admit that we could have eaten more like how we did previously 

Oh yeah, each of us is entitled to one bowl of udon and ice cream too. The buffet cost us less than $20 each, a rather reasonable price for a casual Japanese sushi restaurant. 

As we left the place, we saw PlayNation which is just opposite the restaurant and so I suggested this to Serene:  " 要不要进去玩？" Since it's only $8.50 ++ for a 4 hour gaming session and that Serene had never been there before, why not? It's my 3rd time there and all 3 visits left hilarious memories for me. All were filled with laughter and judging of one another. HAHAHAHA no harm intended though. So we tried the wii, kinect and xbox. 

Played the following games:

Marvel Vs Capcom ✓

Raving Rabbids ✓

Just Dance ✓

Super Mario ✓

Marvel Vs Capcom. Serene and I kept laughing during the game, "condemning" each other's characters. Don't judge us, we aren't crazy people  ॓.॔

Ending the post with our photo. PS: my smile looks awkward  (✖╭╮✖)

That's all for the day! ♥
