TRAVEL TO PLACES: SINGAPORE CAPITOL BUILDING

My Personal Experience: I went to Capitol Building last year July 25, 2015, together with my sister. We went there to round up the day and end the night in an luxury festive place. Capitol Building is known for its historical landmark in Singapore becoming lifestyle mall for locals and tourists. This is my first time going in at the Capitol that's why I made the most!!

Capitol Building

Located at the junction of North Bridge Road and Stamford Road, the distinctive Capitol Building has long been one of City Hall’s landmarks. After four years of renovation work, the historic structure from the 1930s has been restored to its former glory and is now part of Capitol Singapore, a integrated development. The Capitol Building and Stamford House have been conserved and are now part of lifestyle mall Capitol Piazza, which consists of three sections: Neue, Galleria and Arcade. This give easy access to City Hall MRT Station.

My Movie Review: The movie is half the magic slow develop in the start but redeems it the second half. The space battles were awesome takes you to the old Star Wars and the beach was beautiful so pleasing to the eyes. Darth Vader brings back the fan boy on the audiences whose been an ultimate geek since Star Wars came. While I'm just a casual fan I find the movie good enough but not that great at least it was explain before A New Hope.
My Favorite Character: Cassian Jeron Andor

TRAVEL TO PLACES: SINGAPORE PRIVE AT CHIJMES

Cast: Kate Beckinsale , Theo James , Lara Pulver , Trent Garrett , Tobias Menzies

Plot: After regaining his memories, Michael searches for Selene and their daughter. Meanwhile, Vampires and Lycans have regained original forces to create a new species of half breeds created by Alexander Corvinus.

Source: http://www.insing.com/movies/underworld-next-generation-2016/id-a8ea0000/

My Movie Review: The movie is cold hearted bitch such doesn't care about anything else. Underworld: Blood Wars probably the worst film in the franchise action with no substance. It wasn't release yet in the U.S don't bother seeing it on the cinemas watch for wait on TV. No beginning it started off end up with a real disappointment for a supposed grand finale. Underworld used to be good this one doesn't live up me & friend just cheat chat watching.
My Favorite Lines: "The Vampire and Lycan Clans have been at war for centuries turning our world into a battlefield. For me the fight is personal. Everyone I've ever love has been hunted down. Now a new war is being waged." "As the Lycans grow stronger, I fear more blood will be spilled than ever before."If you want to win this war you will need to go futher than even warrior of your renown has ever ventured before. "This day is bound to come. Tell your Marius I’m not finished with this war." "She is the key to the future of Lycans and vampires. And when we have the blood of Selene and her daughter we will be invincible."

TRAVEL TO PLACES: SINGAPORE CALDWELL HOUSE

My Personal Experience: I went to Caldwell House at Chijmes last year July 25, 2015, together with my sister. We went there to experience Chijmes during weekend night times. It was my first Saturday in Singapore on my fifth visit and my first time to see the church with different light. The mood of the place is calming yet vibrant I've found my inner peace.

Caldwell House

Chijmes began with one building- Caldwell House- which was designed by prominent colonial architect George Coleman who also designed Old Parliament House as a home for a Senior Magistrate’s clerk. Caldwell House is the most notably a grand Anglo-French Gothic chapel in 1904. One of the most elaborate place of worship in Singapore, intricate plaster-work, wall frescoes and Belgian stained glass windows, still inspire wonders today.

TRAVEL TO MOVIES: ALLIED

Director: Robert Zemeckis

Cast: Brad Pitt , Marion Cotillard , Jared Harris , Matthew Goode , Lizzy Caplan

Plot: Set in 1942 during World War II in Casablanca, French-Canadian spy Max Vatan falls in love and marries French agent Marianne Beausejour, but he is then notified that his wife might be a Nazi spy.

Source: http://www.insing.com/movies/allied-2016/id-f1eb0000/

My Movie Review: The movie is tasteful brings back the old Hollywood feels and glamour. Allied is a slow-paced romance thriller that captures the beauty of 1942 French Morrocco with top notch production values and gorgeous cinematography. Brad Pitt never gets old his still the handsome charismatic character you'll like to see that gives solid performance. Marion Cotillard intensify each scenes with her facial expression and she control the story. Too bad it was cut short never gets out long enough but should have been great for more.
My Favorite Character: Marianne Beauséjour

Marianne Beausejour, a Resistance fighter played by Marion Cotillard. The story is rich in details but simple enough: Max and Marianne have been paired up, sight unseen, to pose as a couple in Casablanca and assassinate the German ambassador. Marianne sits at a table with a silk jacket and an hummingbird draped over her chair. Max's long look and Marianne's dazzling smile tell us they're already in love. We are rooting for them every step of the way in "Allied," Robert Zemeckis' grand salute to the classic films of the 1940's.

TRAVEL TO PLACES: SINGAPORE GLASS SKY BRIDGE- THE TUBE

My Personal Experience: I went to Glass Sky Bridge- The Tube at Orchard Gateway last year October 8, 2015, together with my sister. We went there to capture the connect link to Orchard Central and 313 Somerset. The hotel that consists of 500 rooms and linked to the office tower by the glass tubular overhead bridge. Makes it easy shopping experience!

Glass Sky Bridge- The Tube

No overheard bridge for the entire stretch of Orchard Road until 26 April 2014 when Orchard Gateway was officially open, together with the glass sky-bridge you see in the above picture! 3D artwork always injects an element of fun to a place and this particular art piece was aptly designed for the bridge! Curvature glass panes that gave the bridge its eye catching body really hats off to those designers the bridge must have cost a bomb!

Source:http://www.insing.com/movies/fantastic-beasts-and-where-to-find-them-2016/id-09e90000/

My Movie Review: The movie is worthy spin-off, pleasure to return to the wizarding world. Fantastic Beasts delivers exactly the title promises; all of the monsters have personality that's fun to watch truly fantastic. The film is at most dazzling when it's exploring magical creatures with wizardry and witchcraft that cast spells. The setting happens in 1920's New York but some characters gave more European Flair with their steam-punk clothing's style.
My Favorite Lines: "We're going to recapture my creatures before they get hurt. They're currently in alien terrain surrounded by millions of the most vicious creatures on the planet; humans." "Mr. Scamander, do you know anything about the wizarding community in America? We don’t let things loose." "You’re not just a man, Mr. Scamander, just like your suitcase. I think there’s much to you than meets the eye. Kicked out of Hogwarts for dangering human life with a beast, yet one of your teachers argued strongly against your expulsion. I wonder, what makes your Albus Dumbledore so fond of you, Mr. Scamander?'

TRAVEL TO PLACES: SINGAPORE ORCHARD GATEWAY

My Personal Experience: I went to Orchard Gateway Roof-top last year October 8, 2015, together with my sister. We went there to view the hidden garden on the top of the city in the shopping district of Orchard. This is my first time seeing the roof-top despite of some visits I made to the mall. Refreshing to see places you knew turned out be something else.

Orchard Gateway

The gateway to Orchard shopping belt, Orchard Gateway is the one-and-only shopping mall that straddles both sides of Orchard Road and is linked by a glass tubular bridge and an underpass - forming a "gateway" to the bustling shopping belt. The mall forms part of an iconic architecture made up of a pair of diagonally-opposite curved towers housing a hotel and an office complex respectively.

Source: http://www.insing.com/movies/fallen-2016/id-5eec0000/

My Movie Review: The movie is falling into pieces half-baked leaving unsatisfying feeling. Fallen is such a bad imitation of Twilight Saga it tries too much to the point it doesn't work. The success of a romantic film depends on perfect timing but this one come in wrong time. Seeing the trailer it's good while the whole movie was over the place didn't find it's footing. Hoping the next movies from the series will give justice and be true to the book adaptions.
My Favorite Character: Lucinda "Luce" Prince

Lucinda "Luce" Price is the main protagonist of the Fallen series. In Fallen Luce was sent to the Sword & Cross when she was suspected of being  involved in an incident with a mysterious fire, killing her boy crush, Trevor. There she met Daniel Grigori, Arriane Alter, Gabrielle Givens, Cameron Briel, Todd Hammond, Randy and a lot of another characters. At the end of the book, she discovered that most of the boys and girls in that school are fallen angels and demons, and that "Luce" has been reincarnated every seventeen years.

TRAVEL TO PLACES: SINGAPORE DEAN & DELUCA

My Personal Experience: I went to Dean & Deluca in Orchard Gateway last year October 8, 2015, together with my sister. We went there to spend time to eat some rainbow cake on my second last day in Singapore. Dean & Deluca is a good place to hangout it's cozy and each product delicious!

Source: http://www.insing.com/movies/a-monster-calls-2016/id-a1ea0000/

My Movie Review: The movie is heart-wrenching the struggle got real in losing someone. It's hard to tackle this subject cause painful to think how someone get through with that no one can't really tell you what to do. Lewis MacDougall is such a powerful young actor his emotions make the movie more compelling and moving. The visual of the giant reminds me fantasy world of The BFG which was a dream while this A Monster Calls was a nightmare!!
My Favorite Lines: "There was once an invisible man who had grown tired of being unseen. It was not that he was actually invisible, it was just that people had become used to not seeing him. One day the invisible man couldn’t stand it anymore. He kept wondering if no one sees you are you really there at all. He called for a monster." "I know everything about you, Connor O’Malley. The truth you dream, the truth that you hide." "That tree is amazing. It’s been here for thousands of years." With a boy, too old to be a kid, too young to be a man." "Connor I wish I had a hundred years, a hundred years I could give to you."

TRAVEL TO PLACES: SINGAPORE KOVAN LOLA'S CAFE

My Personal Experience: I went to Lola's Cafe in Simon Road last year October 3, 2015, together with my sister. We went there to join the craze on the Kovan's most popular cafe. Lola's Cafe features array of choice from breakfast to brunch and good selection of beers and ciders. We got some honey paprika wings, butter croissant, flat white and truffle fries!!

Kovan Lola's Cafe

When Lola's Cafe was first concept, there was one binding thought that was not to be compromised; Lola’s was going to be a playful and casual environment where you could get honest, unpretentious comfort fare in the company of great friends. We insist to serve the foods & drinks made with great love because food from the heart is the most delicious.

Source: http://www.insing.com/movies/the-accountant-2016/id-fbea0000/

My Movie Review: The movie is oddly present combination of boring and interesting stuff. Ben Affleck become one of the most celebrated actors in Hollywood having new movies in recent years over again with compelling roles to portray that I surely follow in the cinemas. The Accountant is very powerful in sending message about autism and how parents raise us affects what will be like when we grown up. The mystery unfolds when the accountant became the hitman start shooting people leading up to his brother while some investigate.
My Favorite Character: Christian Wolff

Christian Wolff (Ben Affleck) is a math savant with more affinity for numbers than people. Behind the cover of a small-town CPA office, he works as a freelance accountant for some of the world’s most dangerous criminal organizations to hide dirty money. Wolff agrees to help an accounting clerk at a robotics firm (Anna Kendrick) look into fraud at her company, but the assignment will prove slit far more dangerous than he could have ever anticipated.
