What a fantastic story!

Hi pals! Nice to meet you again ^_^ ! Well, during this Chinese New Year, I feel so peaceful and delightful as well! I visited my relatives’ houses and there we gave our warm greetings to each other, saying, “Kiong Hi!”. We enjoyed every snacks served by the host. My sister, younger brother, and I also received several Ang Paos from our elderly relatives. What a warm atmosphere! Afterwards, we just stay at home and enjoy our free time by watching movies!! Yihaa!

There is a movie I watched a few days ago (perhaps you’d watched it before). The title is Dr. Seuss’ HORTON Hears a Who!

It is not the latest movie but I truly recommend you to watch this, friends! It’s a great movie with hilarious animated characters and a simple but meaningful story. The main character is a lively witty elephant named Horton. He lives happily in the forest of Mount Nool together with other smaller (and eccentric-looking) animals. Albeit his huge size, he appears to be a kind-hearted and sensitive one compared to other friends in the neighborhood. Why? Because he’s the only one who can hear a tiny voice coming out from a speck of dust! Yup, the speck is blown to the forest and found by Horton. In fact, there is a community of super-duper microscopic creatures that live in the speck! They are called the Whos, who live in Whoville, with a Mayor as their chief. Besides having a big family (96 daughters and a son!), he has to bear the responsibility of being as great and honorable Mayor as his predecessors. Thus, his only son, Jojo, becomes his center of attention. However, Jojo is an introvert. He does not think his father can understand his way of thinking.

On the other hand, Horton the elephant is facing the threatening attitude from his neighbors toward him. A self-proclaimed Kangaroo, the main antagonist who always thinks Horton would give a bad example to the children, tries everything to make Horton deny about the existence of the Whos in the speck. In the struggle to protect the entire living beings in Whoville, Horton must find the safest place for the speck. The Whos, at the same time, have to work together to help Horton prove their existence to the “outer world”….

This movie is actually derived from a story written by Dr.Seuss (Theodor Seuss Geisel), a famous American author who also wrote How The Grinch Stole Christmas.

Jim Carrey and Steve Carell, two famous comedian star as Horton and The Mayor. There is an inspiring quote as well as the moral from this movie : “A person’s a person, no matter how small.” Well, I hope this will be one of your favorite movies, don’t miss it!

Mothers Day

Huaaaa....I miss my blog so much!!! Hoho... Udah lama bgt g nge-blog, since the last posting in February!

Sekarang aku pengen membahas sedikit tentang Mothers day...bukan mengenai sejarahnya sih...tapi lebih kepada how-I-feel tentang hari Ibu ini...

Well...seperti biasanya, kondisi keuangan "selalu" dalam kondisi cukup memprihatinkan...hehe...jadi agak susah kalo mau ngeluarin duit. Tapi demi hari spesial besok...9th of May will be Mom's Day...aku benar-benar pengen memberikan sesuatu buat my beloved Mom! Do you have any idea what should I give to her?

Ibu kita udah susah payah melahirkan dan membesarkan kita, selalu mengkhawatirkan kita, dan selalu mendukung kita di mana pun kita berada...tak seharusnyakah kita berbuat sesuatu demi beliau? (Ehem..) Menurutku sih, hanya dengan membantunya mengerjakan pekerjaan rumah dan mungkin memasak sebisa kita untuknya pasti sudah membuat beliau bahagia!

Betul ga?! Setuju?

Kbetulan besok ada acara amal sekaligus perayaan Mothers Day dari Perkumpulan Buddha Tzu Chi, trus mama aku dapat undangan, beliau ngajak nih! Hoho...tentu saja aku akan menemaninya. Hmm...Semoga saja di acara itu ada sesuatu yang menarik lah! :D

RE(f)USE

Hai readers, it's wonderful to meet you again!

In this post, I would like to share something I watched from the TV. It's not about movie, but somethin' 'bout fashion...

A few days ago, I watched an international news from CCTV Xin Wen, a China News Channel. There was a news about a brand named RE(f)USE which the products, like bags and accessories, are made of recycled stuffs! And actually it is found by one of the Fendi sisters, Ilaria Venturini Fendi! It's so cool right?! I think they have given a perfect name for the brand because they use materials which are thrown away or have been rejected by their owners, and then those unwanted things are recycled into valuable products until they are sold and reused again! These 'green' products are not only stylish but also have contributed something good for the environment! The store/boutique is in Rome, Italy...so if you are interested with the products, better go there and buy some, haha....

this is the picture of the RE(f)USE display window! :)

N.B you can visit this site to view the products : http://www.carminacampus.org/ENG/home.html

Avatar VS Titanic

Hi readers...

I don't know why but these days I feel kinda bored...no enthusiasm to do something...the mood is in a very low tide...haha...Well, then I try to overcome this by making myself as happy as can be. So I went shopping with my family, looking for new clothes because Chinese New Year is getting closer! I've also finished reading a novel, DRACULA-by Bram Stoker, and indeed, it is a nice story for my favorite character, Van Helsing, is in action! Haha... XD

TITANIC VS AVATAR

By the way, I think most of you have already watched AVATAR, haven't ya? Unfortunately, I haven't, haha...but I will someday... Just now I read an interesting article from a local Chinese newspaper about this 3D sci-fi movie. It is written that AVATAR has become the world best-selling movie, with income higher than Titanic (which had remained in the first position for about 13 years and also directed by the same person, James Cameron)! TITANIC at last has to go down automatically to the second position, huhu....AVATAR and Mr. Cameron also win the Golden Globe Award and this movie will be nominated in Academy Award soon!

Even though AVATAR has gained this huge achievement, but Titanic is still leading in the total amount of the audience! Hoho...I have watched AVATAR trailer and I think the CGI effect is amazing! But I still do not know whether the plot is as good as Titanic or not...Yeah, certainly I must prove it myself! :)

Wooohooo...

Wew...
I have not made any progress since the last posting!
Wah, I've neglected my blog for a very long time...more than 2 months I think...
Finally now I've got a chance to write something! Well...this is the first month of 2010, so I think later on I will post something better than I did last year....!
N.B: And I hope I'll have more time for this! Oh ya, now I also change my blog layout!
