This is related to the sound of music... I think...

If you have seen the movie 'The Sound of Music' before, you probably have heard of the song 'Do-Re-Mi' before. In the lyrics, there is this liner, 'Ray, a drop of golden sun...' and this got to do with my post today. Introducing...

	Though this isn't really a a drop of golden sun, but it's known as the 'Kinetic Rain' and it's pretty nice too. :D

Here's a video that I have taken myself.


And here's the official video of the 'Kinetic Rain'.


So where can you have a closer look of the 'Kinetic Rain'?
The 'Kinetic Rain' is located in 'Changi Airport' Terminal 1 Departure Check-in Hall. :D

Notes:

• If you are taking the MRT to 'Changi Airport', you can alight at the 'Changi Airport' station and take the exit to Terminal 2 or 3 and transfer to the Skytrain to Terminal 1.

Movie: The Silent War

From the same group of directors of 'Infernal Affairs' comes 'The Silent War'. The plot of the movie is pretty straight forward. During the 1950s in China, in order to spy on all the revolutionists in China, Headquarter 701 have been founded to spy on all the revolutionists through telegraph. Everything is going as planned until the day, where all the military channels have been replaced by useless daily news reports and weather forecast. That's where our main protagonist steps in. Being blind allows him to attain a better sense of hearing than average people and with his help, Headquarter 701 manage to recover all the military channels, but things aren't that easy after all. And through the help of Headquarter 701, he manage to recover his eyesight with a price to pay...

I think that the story is pretty interesting, but for some reason,
this movie was released in Singapore less than 2 weeks ago and by
the end of this week, there are less than 5 cinemas that continues
to show this movie. Which is kinda... ==""" Seriously, the role that
Tony Leung is taking up and the ploy of the movie are pretty nice
and it's far more better than some of the Hollywood movies out there.
If time permits, please give this movie a try, the results might be
better than what you are expecting.

Movie: The Expendables 2

Once in a while, I don't mind watching all these action movies. To some extent I kinda miss all the action movies back then with all the memorable lines and scenes. Ex: Arnold Schwarzenegger's line in Terminator, Armageddon, Rambo, Rocky, etc... Anyway back to the movie, rather than having merely gun fighting and explosives going off everywhere, this time round I think that the story is much better than the previous round. In this film rather than showing a group of cold blooded killers,, it also portraits a completely the different side of the expendables. On top of that, the producers have also added a few touches of humour into the film too. :D

Here's a poster of the movie 'The Expendables 2'.
Seriously, as compared to the previous one, the looks of
'Sylvester Stallone' looks much more better in this sequal. ==

Manabu Makime - The Great Shu Ra Ra Bon

A few days ago, I finally finished reading the chinese translated version of the Novel 'The Great Shu Ra Ra Bon'. In the Novel, it has stated that the lakes in Japan have been giving selected family members of a family great powers and it can be powers like mind control and time control. Though the first few chapters can be kinda boring but as the story progress, the story will get more and more interesting. In fact, it was so good that I finished the book in 2 nights. :P Therefore, if you have the time, I would highly recommend you to give this novel a try. :D

Movie: A Simple Life (桃姐)

Inspired by a true story, this is a story between the young master of a big family and his servant that has been taking care of the family for more than 4 generations. In the earlier stage of the movie, the relationship between the both of them are pretty much similar to a normal family. But things started to change when the servant gets a stroke and decides to move into an old folk's home. Taking care and visiting the servant tends to play a very big role in the young master's life...

I think that this movie is pretty touching especially when the part where the young master tend to go all out taking care of the servant, when it should be the other way round. On top of the heart-warming relationship between the both of them, you also get a taste of why some people move into a old folk's home and the life that they are leading inside. Eventually, this still shows that kindness pays. :D

My interesting neighbourhood?

How long have you been living in your neighbourhood and do you think that you know every single thing about your neighbourhood? Okay, maybe not everything but how bout most of the stuff that is happening in your neighbourhood? I thought that I'm pretty familiar with my neighbourhood until...

'Wonder Wash 24 Hours Coin Laundry'
I saw this... I was like Whao~~~~
I never knew that they have 'Coin Laundry' shops in Singapore...
Reminds me of the days, I was travelling overseas...
and I thought that I would never ever bump into 1 in Singapore...
Or perhaps I'm becoming a mountain tortoise(山龟, Suan Gu)... :P
(Now we know that we don't need to worry about the laundry on
rainy days anymore. :D)
