The Karate Kid: Kung Fu Lives in How We Treat People!

By , August 21, 2010 2:50 am

This is one superb movie for all young and old. China is an amazing country. Just as everything in life, there are real kung fu and fake kung fu. Real teachers teach real kung fu and bad teachers teach bad kung fu. If you want the real kung fu, the real stuff, you have to look hard for it!

Kung fu is not about being arrogant, being strong, and being unbeatable.

Most memorable line: “Kung fu lives in how we treat people..everything is kung fu!”

Ratatouille: only the FEARLESS can be great!

I love this movie! It will be one that I will re-watch again!

In the hilarious new animated-adventure called RATATOUILLE, a cute rat named Remy dreams of becoming a great chef despite his family’s wishes and the obvious problem of being a rat in a decidedly rodent-phobic profession.

Most memorable line… “Anyone can cook, but only the fearless can be great!”

Ever wish you can cook mouth watering recipes like a WORLD CLASS chef? Well…now you can! Check out this awesome resource here!

92 year old woman serves free cooling tea for 34 years!

By , August 18, 2010 7:03 am

I love her spirit of generosity, kindness and perseverance! A 92 year old woman from China Hang Zhou has been providing free cooling tea to all passer-by on the street at her tea stall for a full 34 years! She started doing this when she noticed that many workers around that area are always perspiring with sweat and looking very tired from their work. And she wanted to do something to help ease their pain and suffering.

92 year old woman gives the gift of tea for 34 years!

Everyday, there would be about 100-200 strangers, friends and passer-bys coming to her tea stall to drink her free cooling tea! Some would bring their own water bottles. We believe she really does live a fulfilling and happy life!

Embroidery is the art or handicraft of decorating fabric or other materials with needle and thread or yarn. Embroidery may also incorporate other materials such as metal strips, pearls, beads, quills, and sequins. A farmer lady create this beautiful piece of art and embroidery using one and half year, and using a special technique that she herself created. We really like her piece of artwork and especially her spirit of determination and creativity!

Amazing Art!

This piece of art is taken from an ancient chinese scroll and painting from the Song dynasty, which depicts the energy of china streets. In the original painting, you can see details of the ancient buildings, the various activities the ancient chinese people are engaging in, the stalls, the businesses taking place during ancient china and so much more! Click here to take a look at this long scroll of beautiful and amazing painting! Just look at the details within! :)

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Movie!

By , August 15, 2010 12:49 pm

I love this Prince of Persia movie! Persia seems like a mysterious country with mysterious culture! Watching the film from beginning to end, and especially during the ending part, something just shifts in you. The concept of time is very deep in this story.

It also shows you why always choosing to do the right thing is so important! Every decision you make, every reaction you choose, has its own consequences!

Marvel Comics character Iron Man 2!

By , August 15, 2010 12:40 pm

Iron Man 2 is the second film about the Marvel Comics character Iron Man, who is also known as Tony Stark. Stark, a billionaire and arms manufacturer, constructed a powerful exoskeleton suit for himself and created his alter ego, Iron Man. The blu ray DVDs set provides three different versions of the movie as well as an abundance of extras.

In the first film, Stark designed and constructed his armored suit and used it to defeat first a group of terrorists and then his partner in the Stark Industries arms manufacturing company. At the end of the movie, Stark’s identity as the mysterious  Iron Man was revealed to the world.

During the sequel, Stark must deal with the consequences of his public revelation. Although he has used his invention to maintain peace, he must fight against his own government as they attempt to claim the technology for themselves. He must also cope with the gradual poisoning that he is suffering from the palladium arc reactor in his chest. This reactor powers his suit and keeps him alive, but he must find a substitute if he is to survive.

The second Iron Man movie has a very different feel to the first. There are still some amazing action sequences, but the idea of a comic book superhero dealing with the aftermath of his outing adds another dimension to this film. Robert Downey Jr plays his part again as the title character, and is joined again by many of the actors from the first movie, including Gwyneth Paltrow, who plays Stark’s assistant, Pepper Potts. There are new faces in the cast too, including Scarlett Johansson who plays a woman with a dual identity, as Natalie and Natasha.

Iron Man 2 is available on both Blu-ray discs and DVDs. A set combining both Blu-ray DVDs and a digital copy of the movie is available, enabling the film to be viewed in any format. The Blu-ray DVDs include a high definition Blu-ray version and a standard definition DVD of the movie.

The digital copy of the film can be viewed on any computer or portable device. The set comes on three discs that also include a huge selection of bonus features. Extra features on the disc include a film commentary by Jon Favreau, the S.H.I.E.L.D. Data Vault which includes extra information and interactive features and a selection of behind the scenes videos.

A film that appeals to Kids: Diary of a Wimpy Kid!

By , August 15, 2010 12:33 pm

Wimpy Kid Diary Movie

Diary of a Wimpy Kid is a movie based on the books and web series of the same name. The wimpy kid diary was created by Jeff Kinney.

The Diary of a Wimpy Kid movie is the first live action adaptation of the series. It follows the main character, Greg Heffley, through the first volume of the online series.

Greg determines to change his life and his reputation as he begins middle school. His goal is to become the class favorite, but he is hampered at every move by his best friend, the redheaded Rowley.

Refusing to take the advice of his teenage older brother Rodrick, who tells him to keep his head down and try to stay off the radar, Greg struggles to find some talent or gift that will make him popular.

The film follows Greg through his numerous trials as he fights to win his popularity and ends up losing his friends. It is not until he has a run in with the school bullies that Greg begins to realize what is truly important and to understand that it is self-respect and not the opinions of others that matters most.

The wimpy kid diary has become hugely popular among kids of about the same age as the main character, Greg and so are also struggling through middle school. There are now five books in the series, but as yet only one movie.

The DVD will be a must have for many fans of the series, who are eager to get their hands on everything related to the Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid will please fans of Kinney’s web series and readers of his books, but it is not necessary to have read these in order to enjoy this movie. Some dedicated fans will probably be put off by the deviations from the original, such as the introduction of the new character Angie, but the film does keep to the spirit of the original wimpy kid diaries.

Stick drawings from Greg’s notebook are interspersed with the live footage, providing a glimpse of the original wimpy kid diary artwork.

The film will appeal mostly to kids, particularly in the parts that are full of bathroom humor and boogers, but there is some entertainment for a more adult audience here too. The performances of Steve Zahn and Rachael Harris as Greg’s embarrassing parents is particularly good. The younger actors, including Zachary Gordon as Greg and Chloe Moretz as schoolgirl reporter Angie, are also great.

A road less traveled: First man to walk the entire length of the more or less 4,200-mile long Amazon River!

By , August 14, 2010 11:57 am

Ed Stafford completed the 859 day walk and trek when he reached the Atlantic Ocean in Northern Brazil, which he started on 2nd April 2008. He ended the long and dangerous adventure that tested his perseverance on Monday.

A road less travelled!

I love what he said! “It proves you can do anything, even if people say you cannot. I’ve proved that if you want something enough, you can do anything!”

Stafford started this crazy and amazing journey with a friend, but his friend backed out along the way after the first 3 months. So he continued alone, and on his journey, he met Peruvian Gadiel “Cho” Sanchez Rivera, who decided to finish the trek with him.

I find this an inspiring accomplishment! Would you do what he did? :)

A Magical Journey: Eat, Pray Love!

By , August 14, 2010 11:34 am

The film EAT, PRAY, LOVE catches my attention quickly. It is based on Elizabeth Gilbert‘s best-selling 2006 Book and  memoir about a divorcee who spends four months in Italy eating, followed by four months in India praying before finally visiting Bali where she falls in love. Even though I’ve never read the book or heard its story before, I’ve had good vibes about the movie and story!

Julia Roberts will star in this EAT, PRAY, LOVE movie, which is based on a true story, about a woman who indulges her taste buds during a year-long journey of self-discovery, from Italy -> India -> Bali! Recently, the Hollywood actress has disclosed that she is a practising Hindu who goes to temple to chant and pray and celebrate. Read more about it here! India is really a magical country. If you like to learn more about praying and meditation as your way of life, get more info here too!

Controlling the elements – Air, Water, Earth, Fire

By , August 11, 2010 7:56 am

Watched the Last Airbender! It’s so fascinating to watch people able to manipulate the elements! My friend said she wished she could too! This is a cool film for family and children. The theatre I was in was full of children laughing! And the (Tai Chi) movements of the airbender is so beautiful! :)

STORY: Air, Water, Earth, Fire. Four nations tied by destiny when the Fire Nation launches a brutal war against the others. A century has passed with no hope in sight to change the path of this destruction. Caught between combat and courage, Aang (Noah Ringer) discovers he is the lone Avatar with the power to manipulate all four elements. Aang teams with Katara (Nicola Peltz), a Waterbender, and her brother, Sokka (Jackson Rathbone), to restore balance to their war-torn world.

Recently just watched “INCEPTION”, which is about dreams. After watching INCEPTION, that night, I experienced the longest lucid dreaming in my dreams!

Usually if i wake up in my dreams and starting exploring the inner realms, i would usually wake up just by thinking of my fingers or toes, but this time round, I manage to stay lucid in my dreams for like about an hour! Pretty cool eh! :)
