Pirates of Carribean - Stranger Tides

ABBEY: 
This is the fourth installment of Capt. Sparrows' quest. When we saw the movie trailer, we decided to watch it in silver screen. I booked the ticket at Shaw Theaters - Nex. The show started 10 minutes past 9pm. Jack Sparrow never failed to show his wit and humor and even managed to escape when he was captured twice. A good leader for his co-pirates. With the guide of his ever-reliable compass they located the requirements to be mixed with the water from the Fountain of Youth. The same compass also lead them to the fountain. What funny to the movie are his punchlines. You'll never know when he will deliver it; be it in a serious scene, a combat one, just plain one. Music and sceneries are great. They jived well with the story line. Another kudos for men behind the Pirates. Ai,ai, Captain!!!



WILL: Oh i personally love each movie of Johnny Depp. But here in pirates of Caribbean i love him most. He is so cool. A happy-go-lucky pirate. So here we go again, jack sparrow... I mean capt jack sparrow have its fourth movie. In strangers tides. I do not want spoil who wants to watch this, but its a great movie, action, drama, and comedy in one movie. Story evolved in a fountain of youth, Greediness of some, and loving the life they have. 
      Here in fourth movie, it just gave me some spirit of emptiness without Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann, the love birds.
      I can watch this sequel over and over again.

PC SHOW June 2011




ABBEY: 
A week before the event, we were scouting the estimated prices for the products that we'll buy. We're expecting that those prices will be lower once the IT show comes. We're right; aside for the prices became low, there were lots of freebies. One thing we noticed is that there are fewer people who came even though its a weekend. Maybe more people will come before the show ends on Sunday. Lesson for us is to exert effort to visit a number of shops to compare and have the best buy for your product. Patience is the key and pays a lot in the end.
WILL: Feet? Check! IC? Check! Wallet? Ahmmmm. Haha. This is not my first time to go here at Singapore's quarterly IT show. Last year we just bought for an acer netbook - a piece of cake to carry. Now we bought our very own desktop, another laptop, an iPad, 1TB HDD, so total of 4 paper bags, a trolley and one big carton. 
      Tips when you go to Suntec? Drop the idea of using the car for car park shortage, do not hail a cab traffic jam is so bad! Use MRT, alight at esplanade station. Go there as early as you can. 
      Before the IT show, scout! So you will know the price if its lower and the freebies will be greater. You can also save your time in roaming around the 2nd, 4th and 6th floor of suntec convention.
      Here you cannot haggle for the price but you can ask for more freebies. Just unlock your charm to the sales executives.

Twinings of London Tea





ABBEY: Wilma likes this tea, but won't buy it always as it was a bit expensive compared to Lipton. But the leaves taste great. They also have teas infused with berries, ginger, etc. When we were at the grocery, she asked me if we can buy a box of those teas, I said yes and she was ecstatic. The box has four teabags in each of the four flavors. Also the drink will not have a bitter after taste even the bag is soaked in water for a long time.

WILL: Literally, Its my cup of tea. The first twinings i tasted was the four red fruit flavored a pasalubong from Italy. 
      From there, i keep on sipping their teas. Unlike others, u must take off the teabag after 3 minutes or the taste will be bitter, this twinings, even whole day mo ibabad, damn!, it will just give you the full flavor of it.
      In philippines it costs 190Php per box of 25, here it costs 6.95SGD.
