Sentosa Sandsation: MARVEL Edition 2018

ABBEY: Video Blog

WILL: Abbey prefer to stay at home or just jog around Punggol, so if he asked me to go out for us to see or experience something..oh well! I better say Yes!  

Abbey wants to see the sand sculptures at Sentosa. On this year's theme is Marvel Super Heroes. 

We want there after his office hour. Hey! The Sentosa Express is free and there is a intelligent idea for people to walk... what is it? Trams are not available from Beach Station to Siloso Beach. Haha! Anyways, you will enjoy the sights of well-crafted trees and the breeze of the sea. 

The sculptures are humongous! It is like they are presenting the powers of each characters. Thanos is absolutely magnificent. Thor's display not only his face but also the Asgard! Iron Man showed the power of Arc Reactor in his chest! 

After the Marvelous Marvel Characters. There are sculptures that displays the real life heroes. Love to see how beautifully represent the mothers. 

Till next Sandsation!

TEDx NTU 2018: Greater than the Sum of its Parts

ABBEY: This is the second TEDx conducted by NTU that I attended. The theme is “Greater than the sum of its parts”. That is true as the each speaker speech and their passion is really greater than all of them. 

I really learned from Jingmei Li; the cancer detective. The famous question : Are your curing cancer? was answered with “We’re getting there” is a positive assurance that someone is doing something.

Daniel Teh is having more than 80% of his workforce comprise of people with special needs. Not that he wants sympathy but empathy to his employees.

And who would forget about the fairytale story of Violet (relationship manager)? She stressed that better connectivity is being done offline and not online.

Kudos to TEDxNTU organizers for the successful event. The program, logistics, and food is getting better and better.

TEDx NTU 2018: Greater than the Sum of its Parts

WILL: Why would I love to watch TEDx? It is somewhat giving us a piece of the speaker's brain and their daily lives. Isn't it facinating? They are wrapping up the piece of their lives in few minutes!  

Cancer as all you know gave a devastating news for every family who is affected. Well, Abbey and I are not exempted on that. We felt glad that there people really dedicating their lives to study this cancer disease. Thanks Jingmei Li. 

Food rescuer, Daniel Tay, I do hope that it open up some minds that we are not only throwing away rubbish but we are throwing away tons of good food just to maintain the "quality" looking one in the grocery stores. 

Who will not be touched of Violet's story? Yes it is quite fad but the reality in every love story is that we are not living inside any social media. We must go out and get to know more the people we are dating.  

Oh one more! The former gangster, Daniel Teh, that helps people to come-up on ways in encouraging his staffs and lifting them up! 

Till the next TEDx! Thanks again NTU!

The Lion King at Marina Bay Sands

ABBEY: We bought our Lion King tickets as a birthday gift to Wilma last April. But we only saw the production on August. I was surprised how they portray the animals. It was creative; the giraffe, cheetah, birds, hyenas, and the lions. 

What I liked the most are the Circle of Life and I Just Can’t Wait to be King. Timon, Pumbaa and Zazu gave more life to it.

The crowd laughed when the pride was mourning for Mufasa. You watch the you’ll know.

Marina Bay Sands - Booking Confirmation - The Lion King at Marina Bay Sands 2018

WILL: Warning!!! 

I do not want to defame Lion King and even I am not an expert in reviewing musicals/plays. I want to say that Lion King do not deserve my time. I am sorry to say that I felt that I wasted money. Argghh! 

Ok. One by one! Props seems lacking. There's no wow factor on the lead actors. The used to be climax of the story seems not emphasised and what more? Some jokes are not connecting with the audiences. Oh! Even the sad times! I can't feel the love that night! I am yawning at times and wishing to end the play immediately. 

Of all the plays I have watched, this is boring.
