Movie Review

DIARY OF A WIMPY KID The Movie

Recently, I went to the cinemas to watch the Diary Of A Wimpy Kid movie. It was a really hilarious movie! Most of the jokes in the movie were about disgusting things like snot and boogers. There were very funny at first but after a while, they became boring. Some parts of the movie was funny and comical, while others were not. The part when Greg tries to be in the wrestling team was my favourite part of the movie. The part where Rowley and Greg go to the woods during Halloween was the most predictable ( and my least favourite ) part of the movie.

RATINGS: 3/5 " Watch it, you may like it! "

Birthday Surprise - Universal Studio Singapore


Before we start of, I just like to tell you that the main places in Universal Studios Singapore™ are Far Far Away™, The Lost World™, Ancient Egypt, Hollywood, New York, Sci- Fi City and Madagascar™!

Just to highlight some of the fun and thrilling ( and maybe scary ) rides in Universal Studios Singapore ™:

ENCHANTED AIRWAYS – Located at Far Far Away™, this roller coaster ride will send you going high up, and going right down at top speed. There are a lot of heart- stopping drops in this ride, but compared to all the other roller coaster rides in Universal Studios Singapore ™, this one is the least scary.

FEAR FACTOR- 3/5

QUICK MESSAGE- After going to that wild roller coaster ride, I would want something to munch on. If you do too, well, you are in for a treat! Drop by at Friar's™ to feast on a unique variety of hot and cold sandwich wraps. Yummy…

RAPIDS ADVENTURE- Enter a time where dinosaurs ruled the world! Yes… This is the Lost World. Hop on one of the Jurassic Rafts™. ( Things will get quite WET AND WILD, so please bring along a raincoat.) At first, tings will be okay. You will get to look at the stegosaurus too. But as things get more quiet, you will see BROKEN WINDOWS, ESCAPED DINOSAURS, and you will also hear strange growling! You will then enter a dark, dark tunnel, where you will be greeted with EXTREME DARKNESS. I got pretty scared when I saw a dinosaur breaking free of the cage it was trapped in. Then, you will arrive at a large elevator… ROAR! Suddenly, you will meet a T Rex trying to eat you. Without any warning… SPLASH! The raft will tumble down and you will land at the Stegosaurus Springs. The ride ends.

FEAR FACTOR- 2/5

ATTENTION: If you want any prehistoric souvenirs, then you MUST come to JURASSIC OUTFITTERS! Here, we sell key artefacts from Jurassic Park™, along with themed hats, Dino Shirts, Dino Picture Frames and more! GROWL!!!


REVENGE OF THE MUMMY ™- Find the Book Of The Living! Ride the HOT and SCARY roller coaster ride! Plunge into a whole lot of DARKNESS as you face warrior mummies on a psychological thrill ride! Feel the burning heat as the whole place gets set on fire too. Finally, scream your lungs out as the roller coaster does a heart- stopping drop. Ha… Ha…

FEAR FACTOR- 4/5

FOODIES: Want more food? Walk down to the Oasis Spice CAFÉ™ and sample Egyptian specialties flavoured with Mediterranean, Turkish, Lebanese and Indian spices.

BATTLESTAR GALACTICA™ HUMAN (Red Track)
A really thrilling, scary and wonderful thrill ride, zooming at speeds of 100 km/h! This seated coaster narrowly avoids collisions as it twists, turns and propels you over 12 storeys into the air. When the ride finished, I could feel blood gushing all the way to my feet. I also felt like as if my legs had turned into wobbly jelly.

Fear Factor: 5/5

PICTURE MOMENT- I also took some snapshots with Po The Panda™ and The Woody Woodpecker™!

FUNNY HATS- The Brown Derby™ has them all! Ranging from a joker’s hat to a king’s, these hats are splendid for the young and old (but young at heart)!

There are many more amazing rides, shows and attractions at Universal Studios Singapore™! Go there now and have fun for the whole day.

Not to mention, you MUST also go to Lights, Camera, Action!™, where you will see how the special effects are made. It’s a mind- blowing setting done by Steven Spielberg.

Field Trip To Kampong Glam

Three days ago, I went on a field trip to Kampong Glam. ( Kampong Glam was the home of the Malay Royalty before the time of Raffles.) When I reached Kampong Glam, I found out that Kampong Glam actually takes its name from the Glam ( melaleuca leucadendron ) trees.

The Bugis and Malays extracted oil from the leaves of the Glam trees for medcine and also to make their ships watertight. The bark was used to caulk ships. The tour guide also told us that tombstone carving and blacksmith were unique traditional trades. I even went to the graveyard.

Other than the origin of the name and the traditional trades, there were also a lot of mosques in Kampong Glam. I stepped into the Masjid Sultan ( Sultan Mosque ) with no shoes and went to learn more.

It was SUPER quiet in the mosque. Even the tour guide had to keep his voice low when talking in the mosque. ( FACT: the Sultan Mosque can accommodate up to 5000 Muslims!

Lastly, I visited a school in Arab Street. The school was called the Alsagoff Arab School. It was built in the early 1912. It was named after a wealthy Arab merchant and a philanthropist.

The tour finally ended and I boarded the school bus. I hope that I can go on such trips again.

Singapore is one hot country

Wow, right now, I'm sweating all over my body as it's 37 degrees Celsius here in Singapore, the famous but TOO TROPICAL country. Why doesn't it snow here? And just when there isn't much sun, it starts to rain heavily. What I would like now is one cup of ICE COLD GREEN TEA, and that the sun sets quickly.

Thank heavens most of the class got a Band 1 for the Math paper. Monday is the day when I get back my exam papers. My doomsday...

Chinese New Year

Hello reader. Finally, we have come to the first day of CNY. I wonder how much MORE money there will be in my bank account... Anyway, there are a lot of legends about Chinese New Year. Some say it was because of the death of a horrible monster, some say it was because of a monk.
I will NEVER, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ( OK, I'll stop ) know the reason for CNY. And with that, I like to wish you a happy Lunar New Year! (To anyone that celebrates it.)
