TRAVEL TO PLACES: SINGAPORE CLARKE QUAY

My Personal Experience: I went to Clarke Quay this year July 22, 2013, together with my sister. We went there to claim our Group-on Ice Cream at Haato & Company. I chose butterscotch and vanilla in my banana split. We saw Locks of Love, where couples in countries like China, Korea, France, Italy and Singapore puts locks to represent their love.

My Movie Review: The movie is bold and straight forward makes me want to vomit cause I don't watch movies like this, others may like it but I don't, too much exposure. I will not watch a movie without watching the trailer first, this is way out of my comfort zone. Don Jon and I are very different, Don Jon is edgy, sad and confident while I'm simple, happy, little bit shy and like lots of movies- sweet flicks, action-adventure and so suspense thriller.
My Favorite Line: "You're the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life"

My Movie Review: The movie is insanely good, little bit scary and lots of crazy stuff going on. Based on my experience being bullied in high school is hard cause this is the time were you most discover things and know yourself much better, so be strong, don't let others get into your head and focus more on your studies. If I had a power like her, I will not use it to hurt others, I will use it in something good and make my life easier and better.
My Favorite Lines: "You know the devil never dies, keeps coming back. But you gotta keep killing him." "If I concentrate hard enough I can make things move."

My Movie Review: The movie is intelligent to watch, you have to be a keen observer to see some details or you must give your full attention to understand the story. I like the architectural design of the maximum security prison felt modern, sound effects adds value to the scenes and good execution of fight scenes with mind games. Both Stallone and Schwarzenegger prove that they can still deliver quality action movie despite of their age!!
My Favorite Lines: "You tell whoever put me here, I'm going to burn this place to the ground." "Heh heh. You hit like a vegetarian!"

My Movie Review: The movie took my breath away, unique story in a world beyond the horizons. At first I'm hesitant to watch this movie cause I taught it was boring but thanks to the critics who rate this movie with 5 stars over 5, make me watch the movie and see things in different way. The experience is nice cause I see myself as Ryan Stone cause I will never give up and do everything to survive any catastrophe and live at the end of it all.
