AIW


went to watch my 1st ever 3D show today with a really blonde blonde. πŸ˜€

Was walking towards the cinema looking for a familiar face, turn here turn there couldnt find, then suddenly noticed this blonde head rushing forward to watch the trailers screen. πŸ˜€ that got to be him! and thats the absolute chance to take a photo of him w/o him noticing. πŸ˜€

He’s not dumb really, just happen to have the tweet handle @DUMBellz πŸ˜€

Watched Alice in Wonderland.
Think this is a movie that really needs to be watched in 3D.

Really like the believed-in-the-impossible mindset of the show.
“Sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”

Impossible 1: There is a drink that can make me shrink.
Impossible 2: There is a cake that can make me grow.
Impossible 3: Animals can talk.
Impossible 4: There is a cat that can disappear.
Impossible 5: There is a place called Wonderland.
Impossible 6: I can slay the jabberwocky.

special thanks goes to @vickilew n @juzferyou for helping me trace these 6 impossibles.

and I absolutely adore the makeup on the Mad-Hatter aka Johnny Depp
There’s so much details to it! *I’ll be very surprise if you hadnt seen the poster around πŸ˜€

Heres some interesting facts of the show

# DRINK ME β€” The potion Alice drinks to shrink is called Pishsolver. The cake she eats to grow is called Upelkuchen.

# SWEET AND SOUR β€” Actress Anne Hathaway, who portrays the White Queen in β€œALICE IN WONDERLAND,” decided that her representation of the character wouldn’t be completely vanilla. The White Queen comes from the same gene pool as the evil Red Queen, after all, so Hathaway envisioned a β€œpunk rock vegan pacifist” and was inspired by Blondie, Greta Garbo, Dan Flavin and Norma Desmond. – Esp for u @vickilew

# ON WITH HIS HEAD β€” Crispin Glover portrays Stayne, the Knave of Hearts, in the film, but only his head appears on screen. The body of the character, who’s seven-and-a-half feet tall, is computer generated. On set, Glover wore a green suit and a pair of stilts to make him taller. His face was fully made up for the role (complete with an eye patch and scar). For the final film, Stayne’s entire costume, body and even his cape are CGI. Only his face is real.

# EYES HAVE IT β€” The Mad Hatter’s eyes were slightly enlarged making them between 10 and 15 percent bigger than Johnny Depp’s own.

# BIG HEAD β€” A special 4K hi-def camera called a Dulsa with 4,000 lines of resolution was used to shoot Helena Bonham Carter’s Red Queen to enable her head to be blown up to twice its size in post-production without losing any image quality.

# THE REAL STUFF β€” Very few real sets were built for Wonderland. In fact, only three versions of the Round Hall (where Alice ends up after falling down the rabbit hole) and the Red Queen’s dungeon were practical sets. The rest were created digitally.

Went out to watch KUMAR: Stripped Bare & Standing Up

It was good. Really like how he cracked up with his “politically correct” jokes.
I wonder hows it like when he sits down with his creative director to plan out his program.

Probably its just a conversation between his left brain and the right brain.

Tell me, who can think of jokes using national songs, national mottos…

Like
STAND UP for Singapore…”
COME Together”
“Together we STAND

and then give our honorable council member nicknames?
like
Sian ar” (think son of that rumored-to-have-heart-attack guy)
Nuts ar

not enough? oki,
Lets talk about IR ... Ever wonder why the two merlion (one near the fullerton n the other at Sentosa) are positioned that way?

Or maybe SG River and Marina Barrage … how the non-routine water use to be able to flow out to greater oceans and now less easily. πŸ˜€

And Just why is it that the blue beam in Sentosa’s Merlion’s eyes are longer than the red or the purple? πŸ˜€
According to the show…

Blue Beams = Blue Color = Color of $50 note
Red Beams = Red Color = Color of $10 note
Purple Beams = Purple Color = Color of $2 note

so which one do they want more?
Blue Beam = CHUUUuuUUUuUUUUUuUUUUUUUUu
Red Beam = CHuuuuUUuUUUuuuu
Purple Beam = Chuu.

πŸ˜€ owned…
totally.

and he shared that him and the merlion are like 2 treasures, diff is, merlion is top lion bottom mermaid, his is top mermaid, bottom lion! πŸ˜€ (meaning very high libido, very good guns)

n he sang about hows it like to be, become a girl using Little Mermaid’s – Part of That World.
*not gonna go into that, u have to watch the show! πŸ˜€

Of course, he poked the race part too…
the whole Thaipusam thing. Carrying of the kavadi…
put down must put parking coupon, then cannot take normal cab. then must beware of the foreign workers, πŸ˜€
how theres no signboard in airport in tamil language
oki oki, it can go on. YOU HAVE GOT TO BE THERE! πŸ˜€

How all races have 2 days of holiday, even govt have National Day and May Day but not the Indians. “Vesak Day is not counted!”

πŸ˜€ oh no! talking abt it cracks me up.

He shared about his family life as well, the coping with, the transition and even now the dependence upon. πŸ™‚

I really admire how he is able to compartmentalize his emotions and just live it out on stage. Its really human psychology at its best.

He closed off with “Always look on the bright side of life”
He shared wise words about his life, and the way he is. πŸ™‚
I cant and I dont know how to re-present it to you. But look at this video from youtube. πŸ™‚ It will bring a spark to you.
Please stay through the opening Indian dance (1min) part. πŸ™‚
