It is one of the eleven planning areas located within the Central Area, which is often colloquially known as "The City".

My Movie Review: The movie is an exhilarating thrill ride from start to finish really intense. The franchise told a pretty complete story in the original trilogy that continues to blooms. Jason Bourne is very spontaneous each scene worthy to see keeps audience captivated. The car chasing scenes were bad-ass truly live up what an action movie can do satisfying rides and delivers more than expected. It ended well leaving open doors for future stories.
My Favorite Lines: "I know who I am. I remember everything." "Remembering everything doesn't mean you know everything." "We've just been hacked, could be worse than Snow den. Facial recognition got a hit. Jesus Christ, it’s Jason Bourne." "Why would he come back now?" "Thirty-two kills. People are all safer because of what you did." "You’re never going to find any peace, not until you admit to yourself who you really are." "This is Jason Bourne. I need to talk. "It’s time to get some answers." "There's a demonstration in front of the Greek Parliament building. I think she'll use it as cover. They tracked you. We've gotta move." "The world is at war. We need the perfect weapon." "I know what you did. Tell me."

TRAVEL TO PLACES: SINGAPORE LOUIS VUITTON PAVILION

My Personal Experience: I went to Louis Vuitton Pavilion last year September 18, 2015, together with my sister. We went there to stroll around the flagship store and feel the vibe of the luxury brand. As you see this pavilion is floating in water very unique from the usual store and this is what set it apart once you enter its like closets heaven of field lavishness.

My Movie Review: The movie is caught in the middle my expectations were meet halfway. The politics didn't help to thrill me but good subject to tackle I thought people who purge were the one to have election to have their leader during purge night that could be better. It is what is fun night to test human ability to survive the night conquering the crazy peeps. Trying to enjoy it but I'm worried that it will end if I felt comfortable so I didn't let my guard down. I think it's better than the first one The Purge but Anarchy their second still the best.

TRAVEL TO PLACES: SINGAPORE THE SHOPPES AT MBS

My Personal Experience: I went to The Shoppes At MBS last year September 18, 2015, together with my sister. We went there to dine and catch glimpse on Marina Bay Lifestyle. Toast Box is the first stop for breakfast where we got hot milk-tea and special cake breads after that window shopping from store to store and when we got time we sat on the couch.

Source: http://www.insing.com/movies/star-trek-3-2016/id-ffe80000/

My Movie Review: The movie live up to the title it's beyond what usually get on Star Trek. This comes with the most heart with more depth yet something light and very fun to watch. Star Trek Beyond is an experience like traveling to space with the big screen it transports. The team felt much solid this time with everyone's help is mission accomplished with twist. The controversies within the actor's help to mount the anticipation and to have open mind.
My Favorite Lines: "Our captain will come for us. Mercy will be the last thing on his mind." I'm counting on it." "We got no ship, no crew, how're going to get out of this one? We find hope in the impossible." "Fear of death is illogical. Fear of death is what keeps us alive." "This is where it begins, Captain. This is where the frontier pushes back!" "Unity is not your strength it's weakness, I think your underestimating humanity. Let make some noise!" "My dad joined Star-fleet because he believed in it, I joined on a dare." "You joined to see if you could live up to him. You spent all this time trying to be your father, now your wondering just what it means to be you."It's easy to get lost in the vastness of this space."

TRAVEL TO MOVIES: SINGAPORE ART-SCIENCE MUSEUM

My Personal Experience: I went to Art-Science Museum last year September 18, 2015, together with my sister. We were there to catch a glimpse what's in the museum since it was mystery for us.

My Movie Review: The movie is frightening especially the first scenes I thought it was just comedy gave me good scares. It was unexpectedly shocking the equipment created were just a buzz kill almost make me wanna scream. The ghosts were gorgeous yet another visual spectacle to see where New York City sparking with cool lights it's totally awesome! The female takes over in this version but with Chris Hemsworth kinda diminish its purpose.

TRAVEL TO MOVIES: SINGAPORE MARINA PROMENADE

My Personal Experience: I went to Marina Promenade last year September 18, 2015, together with my sister. We were there to seize the day trying to have as many tourist spots to explore in Marina Bay.

Source: http://www.insing.com/movies/alice-in-wonderland-2-2016/id-abe70000/

My Movie Review: The movie is slightly strange much like the first film but the adventure takes to new direction. I didn't expect the story will took off changing the past somehow I get more than what I bargain for and really enjoy it. The visuals were such a treat popping through our eyes with the costume and setting full of color it will take you to another world. Mad Hatter makes us value family and Time teaches us to let go the past and learn from it.
My Favorite Lines: "You've been gone too long, Alice. There are matters which might benefit from your attention. Friends cannot be neglected." "He's stuck us all at one minute to tea time! Tea time, forever!" "When the day becomes the night and the sky becomes the sea, When the clock strikes heavy and there's no time for tea. In our darkest hour, before my final rhyme, she will come back home to Wonderland and turn back the hands of time."

TRAVEL TO PLACES: SINGAPORE HELIX BRIDGE

My Personal Experience: I went to Helix Bridge at Marina Bay last year September 18, 2015, together with my sister. We were there to walk away from our everyday routine and start the day in a new prospective. Helix Bridge is a good place to see for its unique futuristic design forming different shapes making it must- see structure when in Singapore.

TRAVEL TO MOVIES: THE LEGEND OF TARZAN

Director: David Yates

Cast: Alexander Skarsgard , Margot Robbie , Samuel L. Jackson , Djimon Hounsou , Christoph Waltz , Jim Broadbent , Ella Purnell , Casper Cump , Cali Nelle , Rory J. Saper

Plot: For years, Tarzan has been out of the African jungle where he once grew up. Living a civilised existence as John Clayton III, Lord Greystoke with his wife, Jane Porter, he is asked to travel to Congo to serve as a trade emissary of Parliament. Little does he know that he is part of Belgian Captain Rom's plan to exact his greed and revenge.

Source: http://www.insing.com/movies/tarzan-2016/id-82ea0000/

My Movie Review: The movie is bit dark taking us to more serious yet sensible approach retelling the legend. This version is exquisite in giving more explanation to the elements of the story and how it revolves to the characters. Tarzan raised in the jungle must come home to be one of the apes and save the people he grew up. With this comes Jane where we look a side of her that never been seen before she become part of the tribe in the wild.
My Favorite Character: George Washington Williams

George Washington Williams of The Legend of Tarzan was a real person, who did a lot more interesting things in real life than just getting a ride on a vine-swinging Tarzan. In 1890, Williams visited the Congo in Africa, which was then colonized by King Leopold II of Belgium, seen in The Legend of Tarzan. Appalled by the exploitation of the African people by the Belgian colony, Williams is most remembered for his scathing letter, written directly to the King Leopold II, which he detailed Belgium's crime against the people of the Congo.
