Well, I am a big fan of Sandra Bullock ever since I don’t know when and Ryan Reynolds after seeing him in “Definitely, Maybe“. But I will say “The Proposal” is gonna be such a watcher! Let me tell you why?

• The movie is star-studded – yeah, cos both of my favourite stars are on it plus Betty White.
• The movie is cruel - a career-minded woman (probably abit like me), Sandra Bullock, can’t get to stay at her work because of her expiring visa. cruel!
• The move is cute – a cute pairing, its like a sister-brother pairing between the 2 and you will Sandra Bullock being the man while Ryan Renolds, the woman.
• The movie is sweet – how all fairy tale should ends…happily ever after.
• The movie is romantic – how a “contractual love” eventually blossoms
• The movie is teary – ah…when family comes in, the whole lot of warmth
• The move is… – oh wait! I shall say no more! Watch it and you tell me!

The Proposal opens in cinemas 20 August 2009

The articles on the above 2 pages can really garner a laugh from me. This week, the last page from Colin Goh is really cool! I laughed it right out on the MRT – Pick-Up Lines for Use on MRT and Buses…

I have a good friend who at times, will sms me in the morning when he’s stuck in that ever-so-crowded MRT. I bet there’s something for the single him to do now, like what Colin says: “…start buaya-ing on buses and MRTs and make your more expensive ride more productive?”

click on the novel titles for more details

1. Sense and Sensibility (1811)
2. Pride and Prejudice (1813)
3. Mansfield Park (1814)
4. Emma (1815)
5. Northanger Abbey (1817) (posthumous)
6. Persuasion (1817) (posthumous)

Of the above 6, I would have only read the 1st 2. After having watched the movies, I have decided that Jane Austen shall be a companion in my bag till I have finished the next 4. She wrote about love. I would say its rather controversial for a writer of her times. Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice were great novels. The movie really intrigues you to go and read the novels if you haven’t already done so and it’s not just a girly thing.

Here’s the movie trailer to whet your Jane Austen’s novels appetite:

Somehow this title sounds familiar. Can someone tell me if its the name of a Broadway play? Mmm…Anyway, in conjunction with Singapore’s 41st Birthday this 09 August 2006, the Fireworks Festival has been nothing but “Spectacular! Spectacular!” this year.

4 days of fireworks display by 4 different teams – Italy, Singapore, New Caledonia and France. Lucky me, I managed to catch the beautiful display by New Caledonia. It was jam packed that day but it was all worth it. 15mins (edited to 5mins) of spectacular choreographed fireworks display by Team New Caledonia!!!! It’s really wow…colours, movements, mystic…

P.S.: Paul, if you are reading this blog…Happy anniversary! This kinda marks your presence in Singapore 1 year ago, aye?!

Anyway, this post is not about me or the theatre. It’s about FREE MOVIES!!!! Like what the very-difficult-to-read (pardon me, I am a creative person) emailer had indicated, there will be free movies for the month of May and many more to come at the Biopolis Auditorium.

2. Where is Biopolis?

I can’t believe that in this era of growing Science and Technology, there’s still quite a majority who doesn’t know where is Biopolis or what is it? Mmmm, come to think about it, or could these people be the minority? O well, Biopolis is situated near Science Park or Buona Vista. It’s a pretty cool place. Not only its all work and R&D and science and technology stuff there, they have now FREE movies, not to mention a park-ful of goody foody – Rochester Park! You must definitely visit there if you are around the area. That park is totally awesome. I will be covering that in my blog soon.

3. How to get to Biopolis?

4. Free Seating?

Yes, it’s free seating. The theatre can hold up to 480pax. So it’s pretty cool.

5. Is It In A Theatre?

Yes. It is. See above.

6. True Anot?

I seriously have no idea! hahahha…but apparently, they have held these FREE Movie Screenings for a long while already and I managed to find some other people’s blog posts on it. I am going to try it out for sure! Just need a little tweaking of time here and there.

SO ARE YOU BE GAME FOR FREE MOVIES????!!!!
