All of sudden in later 2009, when I browse some websites, I see the strange blue animals banners. It is human-like creature in another planet (looks awful similar to my cat). Ever since this movie is in theatre, it becomes literately the iPhone in Hollywood movie industry. It has been said this Avatar is an epic for movie industry. Somehow, I get the impression that this is a movie that you don't need 3D glasses to get the 3D effects. How cool is that! The director who directed the Titanic waited several years for the technologies readiness. It is all fantasy, no politic, so very quickly the movie is played now in China.

It starts at midnight of Jan 4. I took half day off, booked the ticket online, and watched this 160 minutes long movie. The movie has three release format - IMAX, 3D and regular. I guess IMAX is the best option, but only in a IMAX theatre. I watched 3D version. The theatre staff hands out the glasses very carefully, saying that each glasses worthy 700CNY, break it and you pay for it. The glasses is heavy and darken the screen brightness, after 160 minutes it is not that comfortable. I kind of feel dizzy after it concludes.

The movie itself, I don't see how revolutionary it is for the sake of what I have expected. It is a story of Dancing with Wolf and Saving the Forest. It is true that you need watch it in theatre, because the plot is too simple to watch at home, just don't set your expectations too high. How good is the Titanic movie? It is the best selling movie in record anyway.

Crocs sandals

Suddenly one special looking sandals get popular. The brand is Crocs. It even opens a brand store at Marina Square. The design idea is from Dutch wooden shoes, I guess. A pair of Crocs sandals is sold at around SGD 50. The price is justified for what it is made of - Croslite. Based on Crocs website, "Croslite™, a proprietary Closed Cell Resin (PCCR) which is NOT plastic NOR rubber. Croslite™ is closed-cell in nature and anti-microbial, which virtually eliminates odor. it is an extraordinary impact absorbing resin material developed for maximum cushioning. its closed cell properties resist odor, inhibits bacterial and fungal growth and are non toxic. this versatile material can be worn next to skin and be cleaned with just soap and water." However, it really looks like made of plastic or rubber, and the design is unique. Replica comes. they are sold at SGD 20, SGD 10, SGD 5 depending on quality.

Singapore Girl Sex Clip Posted Online

A couple days ago, a sex video clip about a female Chinese graduate student Wang Ting Ting (王婷婷) was posted on the internet. Just as it is about to cool down, another sex video clip pops. It is a sex clip of a Singapore Nanyang Polytechnic student . The video clip was stored on her cell phone. Someone stole it and posted the video clip on the Internet. This is a breaking news. It is even reported on major Singapore and Malaysia newspapers. Now we have so many cool gadgets. It is a breeze to shoot photos/videos, and share them on the internet. Everyone, even dog, is on the internet waiting for breaking news. Be careful when you do something secret or stupid. It may appear all over the world, live!

No smoking sign

Watch out this sign before you light the cigarette up. SGD 1000 fine! However, I wonder if someone had really paid so much for violation.

Prostitutes in Singapore

Singapore is very realistic about this issue. Prostitution is legal. The famous red light zone is Geylang area. I heard Hong Kong officials are considering to legalize this business in HK also. Singaporeans are not allow to work as prostitute. Maybe also SPR. The prostitutes are mainly foreign workers from poor countries in SEA area, such as Indonesia, Thailand, India, Malaysia, not from China. They come under special 2-year working pass, and must pass the health exam, yes, to prevent STD such as HIV, AIDS and so on. The brothels are mixed with normal resident houses. The brothel's house number is red lighted. The price is ranged from SGD 50 to SGD 200. Illegal sex workers are also around, and in some massage clinics. A very recent fatal case and newly effective government policy make a special social group - Chinese accompanying mom for studying kids a hot media buzz again.
