[Contest] Monster University!

Remember Monster Inc? I'm sure most, if not all, of us have watched it and LOVED it! I sure did! Its, by far, one of my favourite cartoon and that says a lot since I'm a big cartoon lover!

I still remember many details about Monster Inc (duh, after watching it over and over again! I even bought the DVD so I can rewatch it at my convenience..)~


Like how Boo keep calling out "Mike Wazowski", and how all the monsters were so scared of being touched by human and human things like a silly little sock!

And how Mike's face got covered by a barcode when they were on the magazine but he was still so happy:

 

LOL!!

Can you believe Monster Inc was first released in 2001?? Gosh, that was 12 years ago!

And 12 years later, they are FINALLY releasing the prequel to Monster Inc! MONSTER UNIVERSITY!

The "Monster University" campus looks nice doesn't it? Almost makes me want to attend university there. Almost. lol

Given the big hit Monster Inc was, I definitely am super excited to catch it! Can't wait to see Mike Wazowski and Sulley on the big screen and enjoy their camaraderie! And of course to find out how life was for them before they joined Monster Inc and started their careers as "scarers"!

and look at the Big group of monsters! Can't wait to meet the new characters whom I'm sure will bring us more laughter~

Also, I love watching movies which revolves around school life (better to watch than to school.. heehee)!

And guess what? Monster University opens in SG theatres on MY BIRTHDAY! heehee~ all the more I have to go catch it, on its opening day hopefully~

LOL at Mike's student pass! Poor mike, always can't get a full shot of himself.. haha

[Contest] Disney. Pixar's BRAVE!

yay! there's a new cartoon by Disney.Pixar that's coming to the cinemas soon - BRAVE!

I'm sucha fan of Disney.Pixar's cartoons! we all know that they are of such good quality. Think Monster Inc., Cars, UP... all were soooo good!

This time round, Disney.Pixar is bringing us BRAVE. For those who have not already heard of it (hard not to la, what with all the advertising that has already been going arnd!), here's a lil sypnosis:

***************************************************************************

MOVIE SYNOPSIS

Brave is a tale of the courageous Merida (voice of Kelly Macdonald) who confronts tradition, destiny and the fiercest of beasts. Merida is a skilled archer and impetuous daughter of King Fergus (voice of Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (voice of Emma Thompson).

Determined to carve her own path in life, Merida defies an age-old custom sacred to the uproarious lords of the land: massive Lord MacGuffin (voice of Kevin McKidd), surly Lord Macintosh (voice of Craig Ferguson) and cantankerous Lord Dingwall (voice of Robbie Coltrane).

Merida’s actions inadvertently unleash chaos and fury in the kingdom, and when she turns to an eccentric old Wise Woman (voice of Julie Walters) for help, she is granted an ill-fated wish. The ensuing peril forces Merida to discover the meaning of true bravery in order to undo a beastly curse before it’s too late.

***************************************************************************

Sounds good rite?

Don't like words? here's the movie trailer for those who prefer visuals:



Merida is sucha heroine! Makes me think of the heroine in my life - my mum!

Don't mean for it to sound cliche, but my mum has gotta be one of the most fearless women I know. She is afraid of almost nothing - being alone in the dark, driving in the rain, possible ghost sightings, cockcroaches, lizards etc etc... all of which her daughter (me sadly) is afraid of.. lol..

One incident that I can remember most vividly where she was SO brave was when there was a lizard that was in my cup! She could actually hold the cup with her bare hands and bring it outdoors to release the lizard.. Me? I didn't even dare go near the cup! Really thankful to have sucha fearless mum and my life would not be the same without her!

Got a heroine in your life too? Thank her by bringing her to catch Brave!

Make It Right, For A Better Ride!

MOVIE TICKETS TO BE WON! details at end of this post! but make sure you read the post first!

if you've been living in Singapore for the past few months, you most probably would have heard about the MRT breakdowns on the North-South (Red) MRT line... (if you haven't, where were you?? haha)

and a known fact (or is it pre-sumption?) is that the trains have broken down due to the weight overload from ferry-ing too many passengers in recent years..

this is probably due to our ever-increasing population due to the influx of foreigners, which we have been advocating! more people = more crowded trains = more weight carried by each train!

its no wonder our trains have given way..

[picture taken from: http://newasiarepublic.com/?p=35239]

anyhow, the overcrowding problem is not something that will disappear overnight or something that can be resolved in the near future..

so since we need to live with this problem, why not try to embrace the problem and help make commuting a much more pleasant journey for all? since we are all "CLOSE-ly knit" (#punny) in this situation. lol

:: My Commuting Experience ::

As a fellow Singaporean, i get around Singapore mainly via buses and trains as they are the cheapest way to commute (and also car la.. if my destination is too far and inaccessible)! and with the ever-increasing taxi fares, nowadays i try not to take cab, if possible.

me and sis in a MRT train!

everytime i take the trains nowadays, i always have a slight sense of dread cuz the trains are soooo crowded and stuffy (cuz of the crowd) and you can hardly ever get a seat! what make matters worse are inconsiderate people who don't move in and crowd the entrance of the train! if we all just spread out and move further inside, i'm sure the trains will be less crowded..

another thing i can't stand is pple rushing to the door when the trains/buses are still moving and expecting people to give way.. i can't even balance properly when the trains/buses are moving and i still need to try and shift away to let them pass! we should all just wait for the train to slow down/stop before making our way to the entrance. this will inconvenience others less!

and my pet peeve is when people rush to enter the train/bus when not all the passengers who wants to alight have done so! why so kancheong? if you just let everyone alight first, you'll find that you have MORE ROOM to enter the train/bus and this will make alighting and boarding more efficient! And this will also minimise accidents from happening~

however, i'm in a dilemma to the "giving up seats to those who needs it more" motion..

I basically agree that pple should always give up seats to the elderly and pregnant.. but how do you gauge who needs it more? what if someone young and not pregnant is not feeling well and thus needs the seat? but cuz he/she is young and not pregnant, pple tend to judge when he/she doesn't give up his/her seat.. so I like to stress on the "...need them more" aspect! so if you're healthy and feeling fine, do give up your seat rather than wait for your neighbour to do so cause maybe he/she is not doing so cuz he/she is not feeling well..

hope the above tips are helpful in making our journey more pleasant!

if you've been commuting recently, u'd have seen these posters going arnd.. here are a few of my fave (in addition to the 2 i've posted above):

"When you travel with others in mind, the journey will be peaceful and enjoyable"

love this quote! =)
