Happenings in March - THE LORAX Movie + Poly Meetup + PASEO Sharing

Monday 5/3/12

Are you guys having the usual Monday Blues?

Well, not for me today because.............. I have the opportunity to catch "THE LORAX" Movie Screening!

GF and I have a group photo with The Lorax, the guardian of the forest - The orange flurry peanut with orange mustache

Synopsis

From the creators of Despicable Me and the imagination of Dr. Seuss comes the 3D-CG feature The Lorax, an adaptation of the classic tale of a forest creature who shares the enduring power of hope.  The animated adventure follows the journey of a 12-year-old as he searches for the one thing that will enable him to win the affection of the girl of his dreams.  To find it he must discover the story of the Lorax, the grumpy yet charming creature who fights to protect his world. 

Released date: 8 March 2012 in 2D and 3D cinemas

Running time: 86 minutes

Website: www.theloraxmovie.com

I seriously love this movie. The storyline is simple yet meaningful and touching.

The graphic animation alone has captivated our attention, it is filled with brilliant of colour which lighten our heart. Not only that, it inspires us and the younger generation to learn about the importance of trees and care about them. We need trees to produce oxygen and to improve the air quality.

In reality, we too can contribute in preserving our environment by practicing the 3Rs:

Reduce

Reuse

Recycle

Yet another lesson learnt:

Love conquers all obstacles. Love gives a person the power to hope and to presevere on.

A nice movie which you can consider watching with famiy and friends where one can enjoy the movie and bring back home the important message about our environment.

Finally, I arranged another meetup with my poly peers. It's been a few months since I last see the girls. As Grace's birthday is round the corner, I decided to call for a dinner gathering with the girls.

We have our dinner at one of my favourite dining places: Xin Wang HongKong Cafe.

Try on their Fish and Chips this time round. The fish and chips here tastes good and comes in generous portion. It comes with an egg ;)

Christine and Steffi.

The girls still stay the same, as crazy as ever.

With Christine.

It was a great bonding session with the girls.

It reminded me of the good old memories back in school days, how we spend our time together in school, how we struggle with our projects, how we survive through the lecture and tutorials.

Hope to see you girls soon, I will try to arrange more regular meetup.

Sunday 31/3/12

Hello everyone, I'm back from the Paseo Campaign Roadshow which was held at Nex this afternoon. Through this roadshow, I had brought back some interesting happenings and knowledge to share with you guys:

With the bloggers present at the roadshow.

In today's society, hygiene is a major concern to every individual. Often at foodcourt, you will notice that people will use tissue to wipe the seat before sitting down, using tissue to wipe the fork and spoon before eating the food or even using it to wipe off their sweat.

Therefore, PASEO strives to offer a range of natural and soft tissue products that suits the needs of every individual.

PASEO tissues are produced from sustainable Acacia plantations, come down to the roadshow to learn more about the process where they showcase each step involved from its raw material preparation to its final finished product.

The campaign tagline -  “Share your Love, Share PASEO”.

Education time for GF and I.

Everyone is busy participating in the quiz, we went round to the board to look for the answer regarding the process of production of PASEO tissues.

Finally get to catch up with Joey again, I'm so happy to see her. Omg, Joey is so sweet, she got me a gift from her BKK trip ♥

With the lovely girls <3

With Ruiting.

Thanks FLY Entertainment for the lovely afternoon and also the magazine held in our hands.

A group photo of all the bloggers.

Are you interested to find out more?

The Education Continues PASEO will be having another round of games and activities from 6th April – 8th April, between 1pm – 6pm at NEX Shopping Mall, NTUC Fairprice for heartlanders to have a go at the Tissue-making Trail. Attractive prizes are awaiting you.

Tiger Beer Live It Up Party at Wavehouse

Tiger Beer Live it up party is back again.

The party has gathered a crowd of 500 tiger beer lovers at Sentosa Wavehouse on a Saturday afternoon. The party is part of its new campaign titled "Languages".

"The unique "Languages" commercials demonstrate the appreciation of a good beer no matter the location or language spoken by a person. Therefore, through the Live It Up party, Tiger beer aims to provide a new social and beer experience for the Tiger Beer fans in Singapore.

Many fun games are present at the beach party to entertain the crowds.

We are in need of the icy cold Tiger Beer to chill ourselves from the hot and sunny weather. Oops, forget to mention one important thing, Tiger Beer is Free-Flow!!!

Drink them all if you can.

Refreshing myself with a bottle of Tiger Crystal.

Exciting ball passing pool game is going on.

Found a spot and settled myself down while the boys are standing under the blue umbrella taking pictures.

With Jeremy.

Tiger Beer babes.

Haha, everybody is taking their icy cold beer.

Huh, what exactly is catching my attention?

Woo, it's another challenging game. So the 2 players up will have to find their way to make their opponent falls. And the one who stays the longest will win the match.

Opening up another 2 bottles.

I have a hot date with Tiger Beer.

A cheers to Tiger Beer for the awesome beach party.

After that, we carry on with our all time favourite doings - camwhoring!

I like this group shot of us, it's so nicely taken. Thanks Jeremy for the great shot.

Wow, this guy seems to handle pretty well with the flowrider. He looks so cool in it.

That's Terence and Andrew inserting their lucky draw coupons into the box. Shake shake and huat ar!

We have been under the sun for hours. Lets squeeze together and stand under the umbrellas for some shades.

When the sun shines, we will shine together. Live it up, Tiger Beer.

With Andrew.

What beats going to a party with a group of friends.

With Edison.

Edison's idea of taking the shadow shot.

We lost count of the number of bottles that we drank.

Shaun and his friend went to take up the challenge too. After a round of struggle, Shaun has won the match.

Thanks Tiger Beer, we enjoyed ourselves at the party, it was a great afternoon gathering with old friends and also making new friends at the same time.

Guinness Live Finale Concert Featuring Power Station and Liu Li Yang

Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone, hope you guys are having a great time.

Did you guys read my previous post on The Friendliest Day of The Year Concert‏?

Today at St. James Dragonfly, Guinness is holding the finale concert of Guinness Live together with special guests - Power Station and Liu Li Yang.

Lets come together for a night of great music.

Together with a group of friends, we made our way down to Dragonfly for the grand finale of Guinness Live concert. It marked the end of the 4 months long PK competition. Come to think of it, I really missed those times where we will head down to Guinness Live to support our friends and cheer for them.

Let us all reunite in this special day and reminisce all the good time.

Here are the photos that I took:

With GF. See what she is wearing?

All of them are given the pint hat.

Happy St. Patrick's Day.

A group shot of us.

A photographer who took a picture of the 4 of us asked if we are the contestants. She made us so happy, thanks for praising that we have got the contestant look. We will consider joining next year. ♥

With Linda who is first time attending Guinness Live.

With Valentine whom I have not met for quite some times.

Finally a picture with Jason. Mentor for team Dragonfly and the host for the concert. He is very humourous, never failed to make the audience laughed. This is why I loved going to Dragonfly.

Do you think that our attire today is matching?

Celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with the perfect combination of oysters quartet and Guinness Stout.

With Steven. Thanks for all the stout and daught (:

With our little brother, Terence.

With HP. Wooh, seriously everyone is in black today.

Still not full just having oysters, we ordered some finger foods to share.

The power-packed concert kickstart with the individual performance by the 12 Guinness Live artistes.

Team Dragonfly:

Our friend, Yong Wei, is the first to go.

Next up, is

Team Shanghai Dolly:

Last but not least, the winning team

Team Firefly:

Heard so many familiar songs that night. Actually I have seen before all the performance of the 12 contestants, each and everyone of them is awesome!

Not forgetting Queen Band, who is also playing a part in Guinness Live during this 4 months.

Next up is Eric Ng, Music Director of Guinness Live and Producer & Founder, Funkie Monkies Productions, who gives us a speech:

All the Guinness Live participants have come a long way.

Liu Li Yang got her big break after a very similar experience of winning a competition and Power Station has risen to fame as a top notch live act since their beginnings in Taiwan's tough pub scene.

He hopes that with the participation of Power Station and Liu Li Yang in Guinness Live's finale concert, it will boost participants' morale, proving to all the 12 aspiring artistes that with their continued hard work and dedication, one day they can be international superstars themselves.

And the winning team, team Firefly, perform their brand new, yet-to-be-released single with Eric Ng. A great start to enter the competitive Chinese live performing industry.

All right, now is the time where everybody is waiting for:

The international superstar's performance

Liu Li Yang

She brought us 2 of her latest songs - 天后and 旅途.

I love the song , it's so nice!! Go listen when you are free okay?

我嫉妒你的爱　气势如虹

像个人气高居不下的天后

Her singing is great, 很有味道 and her dressing is cool - very 帅气.

A group of Liu Li Yang's fans came down just to support her.

Her charismatic character and soulful vocal had won the heart of many audience out there.

At last, is 动力火车 performance.

This part was funny. Jason was about to introduce the next performance, he said:

我不是动力火车, 我是动力buay tiao.

Lol. Omg, Jason is really humourous.

Power Station 动力火车

Finally, we have them back in Singapore. The Taiwanese rock band is here to rock Dragonfly with their electrifying rock songs.

The duo pair was already popular backs in the 1990's. They were well-known for their very long hair. Surpisingly, Zhi Lin still maintain it well.

I have a deep impression of them. They have won Best Theme Song Award (Chu Lu) from Singapore’s Mediacorp Star Awards. That's my favourite song of them. But sadly, they didn't sing it tonight.

Team Firefly also get the opportunity to perform on stage with 动力火车.

Alfred and Si Ling, together with Power Station presenting: 忠孝东路走九遍

 哦~ 忠孝东路走九遍

脚底下踏著曾经你我的点点

我从日走到夜 心从灰跳到黑

我多想跳上车子离开伤心的台北

I like this particular song by them, the song is very pleasant. If one day I visit Taipei, I must go down to visit 忠孝东路.

Catch up with Meiting, nice seeing her again ♥

Went in to the crowds to find my friends.

A photo with Alfred, Willis and Yong Wei. Can we form the next team for Guinness Live? Lol.

With pretty Regine. Have not catch up with her during the last round of Guinness Live.

It's really so nice seeing everyone again.

Once again, congratulations to all the 12 contestants. You guys have made it through, each and everyone is already a winner. Keep up the good work, you are just one step towards your dream.

Happy St. Patrick's Day.

I have a awesome night watching the great music performance and also the opportunity to catch the well known superstar.

Cheers!
