The Lorax Movie Review

Sponsored

From the creators of Despicable Me, The Lorax was born. Adopted from a children book written by Dr Seuss, this movie brings a deeper message behind the fun and laughter.

The story started off with a town with no "real" trees and air that need to be brought for breathing. A boy named Ted in an attempt to impress his dream girl set off in search of a "real" tree.

Ted set off to meet a man named Once-ler who is believed to know what happened to all the trees but Once-ler turn out to be the person responsible for the extinction of all trees.

Blind by greed, Once-ler made the mistake of chopping down each and every trees despite Lorax's warning. After all trees are gone so did Lorax and all the forest friends. Once-ler regrets greatly for the mistake he made and decided to entrust Ted with the mission of reviving the trees with the last seed left.

I especially love the quote that Once-ler said when handing over the last seed - "It’s not about what it is, Its about what it can become." It's so meaningful, it brings tears to my eyes.. Ok I over exaggerated a little on that part but this quote summaries it all, you'll know what I mean after you watch the show.

To be honest, I'm a little disappointed as the storyline are sometime too dry and it's ain't that funny as I figure it may be but and that's a huge BUT the movie holds a very meaningful message behind and it's way above than just being a normal animation. If you have kids, you should really bring them to watch The Lorax, they will be able to walk away with something good.

The Lorax available in 3D and 2D will be in cinemas on 8 March 2012!

Rooms For Rent

Advertorial

Are you thinking of visiting Singapore but are a little low on budget? Singapore's hotels can be quite costly, but fret not, there is a cheaper alternative naming home stay or short term accommodation.

iBilik.sg

Introducing iBilik.sg, a site that collaborates rooms for rent from all over Singapore. The site not only offer rooms for rent it also have a section for short term accommodation which I personally think can be very helpful for people who are planning to visit Singapore on a low budget.

Singapore Short Term Accommodations

It surprised me to see they have so many accommodations listed and most of them actually look "Hotel Standard", not to mention awesomely low prices compare to the hotels. Even I'm tempted to rent some of the accommodations for a short staycation.

Now you don't have to worry about having not enough money for a vacation! Hoola~

Malaysia Short Term Accommodation

For the locals, iBilik also have short term accommodation listings for Malaysia and Philippines! In total, iBilik is the essential tool to affordable vacation. Having fun doesn't need to break the bank!

Philippines Short Term Accommodations

iBilik is so easy to use, their listing is classified clearly according to locations making surfing for the right room very easy and fast.

I'm so going to use iBilik from now on to look for accommodation deals when planning to visit Malaysia or Philippines. I can't believe I didn't find iBilik sooner, I could have save so much money on oversea accommodations.

Singapore Rooms For Rent

Nonetheless, you can also look for Singapore rooms for rent if you are working in Singapore or planning to stay in Singapore long term.

Btw if you are looking for tenants to rent your rooms, you can also put a listing on iBilik.sg. Great for agents *wink wink*

What are you waiting for? Head over to iBilik.sg now and plan your next holiday...

Ciao~

Kuala Lumpur Day 4 - Menara Tower

Hi beautiful people,

Sorry for not updating for so long... Work is getting way out of control. I finally found time to blog about the last part of my KL trip.

If you haven't read my pervious entries, here's the links:
Day 1
Day 2
Day 3

I started day 4 off with some shopping in Sungei Wang which looks like our Far East Plaza or Bugis Street. I expected it to be cheaper but the prices there are actually not that cheap, I actually think most of their clothes are selling cheaper in Singapore. Thus, I really didn't buy much.

After shopping, John brought me to the shopping mall opposite Sungei Wang(forgot the name of the shopping mall) to eat at the food court. The food court actually corporated KL's most delicious and famous roadside stall and hawkers. Because I'm super reluctant to eat at ALL of the roadside stalls or dirty looking coffee shops so John brought me to this food court thinking that I could eat the Malaysian prided food at ease but I end up ordering Japanese food LMFAO! I just can't help it, all the so called "famous" stalls serve meat, meat and meat and still meat... I just am not a meat fan.

The ramen I ate, it was actually very tasty!

This was what John ate, forgot what it is... but as you can see it's meat all over.

After eating, we went to the Menara Tower but unfortunately it drizzling a little.

Hazy due to the rain

After touring the tower, we went to the animal park which is below the tower.

The turtle looks like its gonna bite my fingers.

White monkey and black baby monkey..... uhm..... o.O

Big fat snake

I don't know what this is but it's majorly cute!

Chinchilla sleeping

Riding the pony was my favourite part of the day because the pony that I rode was majorly cute and remind me so much of my Yumi(since I'm already very Yumi-sick at that time). But the pony looks very sad and tired, I'm thinking that the staffs there must have treat the ponies badly(and maybe I'm too heavy for it *guilty face*). It broke my heart, I so much wish I could buy it and fly it back to Singapore.

See how sad the pony look..... *tearing up*

Had dinner at Bar Italia, read the review on my food blog

End the night watching Alvin and the Chipmunks 3 at Pavilion.

CNY Reunion Dinner + River Hong Bao

Our Reunion Dinner

Thou came a little late, still I want to wish all of you a BIG Happy Chineses New Year!!

!!恭喜发财 万事如意 步步高升 幸福美满!!

See how much food we brought...

Chocolates, just 50% of it

CNY goodies

Overcrowded with food..

More food...

We spent $400 on all of the CNY foodie and steamboat ingredients. Actually it don't look so overwhelming if we have visitors or relatives joining us but we basically don't bai nian so the food are only for 5 people!!

We basically eat steamboat 3 meals a day everyday cause there's way TOO MUCH food! HAHA!

Jackie brought 10 packs of meatballs just for himself!!! Crazy!

There's so much food, we needed 3 tables to lay them out

I bet no one else eat more than my family do..... Now it'll be one hard time to shed those weight gained.

Anyway as we don't "bai nian" and rarely visit relatives or friends(don't ask me why), we went to watch movie "The Magician".

Er... Epic fail

After the movie, Mommy, me and Jackie went to the River Hong Bao carnival...

This year's Uncle Ringo was boring!! Boo!! They cut back on lots of fun rides, most of their rides this year are for kids. Worst of all their bumper car cost $10 per car! WTF! Their cars sure are made of gold.
