Fist of Dragon is sure an anticipating movie to watch. It is also Fiona Xie's Last movie! One of the other "Must Watch" reason is because this movie is produced from the Producer of Ip Man 2!







Plot Outline:
"Fist of Dragon" tells the story of Li, who comes to South East Asia by the request of his father to help out his uncle who has been facing financial difficulties. Li, upon arriving in the town, feels out of place due to the differences in cultures of the people here. When he discovers that his uncle has been facing many hardships posed by the local mobsters, Li decided to stay and to help his uncle and get rid of them. However, Li encounter numerous resistances from the locals as Li's action brings the wrath of the triad and drags the whole town into turmoil. Moreover, his uncle's daughter, Lily is on the triad side, and their relationship is badly affected when the confrontation between the two groups reach its peak.

《龙拳》是一部以传统华人文化与现代华人文化的冲突为题材,其中不乏精彩的打斗场面。

影片剧情讲述来自中国的李被父亲派去帮忙居住在一个偏僻小镇的叔叔解决他财务上的问题。 当李发现原来叔叔的问题是来自黑帮, 决定留下来帮他铲除这些流氓。

Hi everyone,
I got one good news to share with you all! My "Have a break, Have fun at the Zoo" blog entry got selected into the finals of Kit Kat's Yer Big Break! Blog Challenge! I'm really happy to be blogging for my favourite chocolate- Kit Kat and I will do my best for the challenge as well as sharing good stuffs with you all.

Do you all know?
Created in 1935 in UK, KIT KAT® was first known as Rowntree Chocolate Crisp. Two years later, the name was changed to the iconic moniker of KIT KAT® as we know it today. And in 1988, KIT KAT® became a key part of Nestlé’s range of confectionery products. And today it has become an all-time favourite chocolate!

And you sure cannot forget this catchy phrase “Have a break, have a Kit Kat®”, it was used to describe the enjoyment of the chocolate-coated wafers whenever one needs to have a break whether at work, school or at play! It is a great party snack too!

And that is why in this blog post, I'm going to share with you some activity you can do when you want to "Have a Break".

We are going to the My Art Space for Art Jamming!!!



21 Tanjong Pagar Road, #04-01 Singapore 088444 (Situated in row of shop-houses next to Fairfield Building and Maxwell Market).


Have a Break, Have a Art Jamming!


Guess what is inside this box??? Kit Kat Breakfast??

Thanks to Kit Kat for this wonderful gift! They are actually some art and craft material for us to play at home. I find it really CUTE!




While waiting for the rest of the blogger to come, I got the chance to explore around the workshop.


Nice painting around the classroom by some of the students.


I noticed this very cute picture of a clown and quite like it! Very cute right!


The bloggers paying attention to our Art "Shifu".


These are actually acrylic paint. Acrylic paint is a faster drying paint and it can be diluted with water, but become water-resistant when dry. The finished acrylic painting can resemble a watercolor or an oil painting.




The different sizes of paintbrush to use for painting.




Ok student, please put on your apron before you start painting!
I felt like going back to primary school having my art and craft lesson. Haha...


Alright I'm all ready prepared to do paint my picture!


I was given a theme "Have a Break" to paint...
What do I think of when thinking of "Have a Break"?


After about 1 hour...


I'm done with my artwork!
Are you guys excited of what I painted?


Ok here I present to you my artwork...

.....1

..........3


Here is my artwork! How was it nice?
It is green grass, tree with a nice blue sky background.
I'm a nature lover and when I thought of Have a Break, I thought of this in my mind!


Imagine lying down on the grass under this shady tree, looking at the beautiful cloudy sky... Letting the wind blow in your face as you enjoying the scenery... Heaven right...

How do u find my painting? I hope it does made u feel RELAX!!!


Haha... what happened to my hands?


No la I was a bit playful! I went to play with the paint with my hands! I find it so interesting that these colour paint can create a lot of nice artwork when you try painting with them.


Start exploring it yourself. Creativity comes when you dare to try! Who know you can paint better than me a lot.



Hmm... let me show you what others had done!

The panda painting is Cute!

The lady smoking Kit Kat... Interesting too!!!


More artworks by other bloggers. Let your mind flows with ideas and creativity!!!


Yongwei's painting was funny! He said it is a boy dressing in Chinese New Year clothes! Haha...

And the one on the right is Angie's artwork.



Other interesting artworks also include this "Alien also love Kit Kat..." done by Nabil. Quite COOL right!

Hongpeng's idea (Center) was quite cool too with the different angle viewing to his picture- Sea and Grass. Not forgetting the hidden words in this painting, did u noticed it? The one at the right end was Kaiyi's artwork. He drew a pink cloud with people dancing with music on top. Seem like a heaven place to me.

Angie sharing with us her picture!




Alvin's Panda painting was CUTE!

Just in time for the upcoming "KUNGFU PANDA 2" movie too hor!!!
But he elaborated as like his new borned baby and himself. Taking care of his baby!


I truely agreed that looking at baby is a form of having a break as they are so CUTE, helps de-stress yourself from work!
Janet's "Have a Break" idea was to do with music and beer! I like it! =)


Okay here you have the 6 Finalist Bloggers with their artwork for Yer Big Break! Blogging Challenge!



A group photo with the Kit Kat's staffs, Omy's Alvin and our teacher before leaving the place.

GET SINGAPORE launches one-stop online mall for Singapore brands
Enjoy FREE shipping at the virtual mall and MasterCard Discounts in stores this GSS


SINGAPORE, 26 May 2011 – Shoppers will have more reason to shop Singapore brands this Great Singapore Sale (GSS) as GET SINGAPORE gives them an even wider range of shopping options. In addition to great in-store MasterCard discounts, GET SINGAPORE has expanded its presence in the digital space with an online mall carrying well-designed and high-quality merchandise from Singapore brands. The brand collective, which is fast gaining traction in Singapore and internationally, is also expanding its existing product categories to include food items.



GET Shopping now!
GET Shopping (http://www.getshopping.sg) is Singapore’s first online mall that carries a wide variety of products from various Singapore brands. Slated to launch on 3 June, the shopping site currently features over 70 products from various Singapore brands, ranging from accessories, apparel, gift ideas and food. To kick start the GSS shopping fever, GET SINGAPORE will be offering free local shipping from 3 June to 24 July 2011[1]. Online shoppers from Singapore will also receive a free TravelPAC laptop bag, whilst stocks last, for purchases above S$200.

Meena Mylvaganam, CEO of GET SINGAPORE, says, “The internet has proven to be a powerful platform for us to brand Singapore. Through statistics from our GET SINGAPORE web portal, we saw interest for Singapore brands and their merchandise grow to over 100 countries in the past year. People are impressed by the variety, creativity and quality of these brands and merchandise, which are conceived and developed in Singapore. As such, we are earmarking our third year with a foray into e-commerce, leveraging the online platform to bring Singapore brands straight into the hands of both local and international shoppers.”



In 2010, GET SINGAPORE ran a social media campaign during Christmas, with GET GIVING, a Facebook gifting application that saw almost 30,000 gifts exchanged virtually. It also re-launched its official website, to provide a better browsing experience and more information about Singapore brands. The revamped site saw monthly visitors and traffic more than triple.

Shoppers can enjoy discounts up to 50% as well as freebies such as free gifts and shopping vouchers when they use their MasterCard at stores of participating GET SINGAPORE brands. To sweeten the deal further for tourists, they will be able to redeem a free I♥SG laptop protective sleeve from TravelPAC[2] with a minimum $100 charge in a single receipt to MasterCard at participating brands.



With the variety of shopping and gift ideas offered by GET SINGAPORE brands during the GSS, shoppers have all the more reason to let their retail therapy take on a Singaporean flavour as they embark on their shopping sprees this year.

Still remember I attended a Pre-celebration Chill Party for SIA Cup at Clark Quay recently. Yes Last Sunday, I was very honored to be invited to the main event- Singapore Airlines International (SIA) Cup which was held at Singapore Turf Club.
This is to Singapore what the Melbourne Cup is to Australia! Organised by the Singapore Turf Club, it celebrates international horseracing in Singapore where racing and non-racing fans alike can look forward to world-class racing at the Singapore Racecourse @ Kranji with the running of the two richest races in the region – the S$3million SIA Cup and S$1million KF Sprint.




It was my 1st time being there and was really an eye opening experience for me.




Singapore Airlines International Cup

I was really honored to have the $150 'Party @ the Lawn' package ticket!


Everyone was excited about the SIA Cup as you can see from the crowd here!



That's my table!

Fine food & wine were served at the ballroom. I loves the Laksa!

After eating- Hmm... Let me see which horse to bet on now!

That's me with my betting tickets.

Some local celebrities which shared the same table as me.

Hong Peng (Left) and myself

What were they looking at? They seem so obsessed by it.
Oh they are looking at the race result!

This is so beautiful! The sky had brought colour to the event!

Performers danced before the race.

Woohoo... Sexy girls with feathered costumes!



The Turf Belle was also one of the attraction that evening!

Rocket Man finally claims KrisFlyer Sprint! An interview session with the jockey Felix Coetzee for the winning. He said" Rocket man had a lovely jump and took me into the race. I took my time with him, when they pushed up inside him, I was never worried. he was very sensational. It's a privilege to ride him... It;s a privilege to win this finally, and in front of a local crowd."
