Challenge Accepted ! Difficulty Level #23
First of all, a BIG THANK YOU for all my friends aka readers who supported my (rather) last minute blog post to join the hunt for World’s Coolest Intern ! You should have seen the look on my face when I sat down at McDonald’s with my salt-less fries and turned on my laptop, welcomed by this flood of ‘CONGRATS!’ msgs without knowing what’s going on. Took me awhile to figure out what’s going on and *BAM* – it felt like someone just announced my name ‘Ingrid Mak‘ as Miss World 2010 *sniffles -waves- sniffs* moment. Haha!
Kinda surprised to be on the Top 23 list along with other brilliant candidates whom I’d never imagine to categorize myself with…like I said in my application entry, competition is tough and I wasn’t very confident to begin with – definitely lose out on the technical skills and not having a fanbase (But hey ! I have an awesome FRIENDbase) It is a pleasant surprise to see my name on Breeze’s blog (and damn,I should have changed my twitter DP if I knew it would be on the blog..haha) Quite an honor to be part of this Top 23 finalists as World’s Coolest Intern – quite a personal achievement already (If my parents are reading this – now you can stop nagging about me wasting time infront of the computer and bringing home only the electricity bills ! hehs) and definitely an early birthday gift to start the month right !
So what happens after being on the Top 23 ? Nothing ! (Ok, maybe I’m just still quite clueless what’s expected of me at this stage….lol)
[Update : Oh, a video post is required ! Hmm...I will....sleep on it. (Don't you know sleeping on a problem is the best method? hur.)]
But you can expect my regular Artist Of The Week (AOTW) posts, an awesome HP party post coming up and more…not forgetting a casual reminder to support my birthday wish ! *coughs*
Pretty much still the same old me who will blog what I want to say…not going to pay extra attention on the way I blog or the language..and I will not hesitate to say this to my readers….”I CONE TESTICLES *which refers to <3s aka hearts* YOU(s)!” =P Like I said, same old @iammyy !
P.S : If you’re on twitter,
if 140 characters is too difficult to understand – basically tweet to “@stanchartbreeze (inserts reason why I should win) #wci” ! Thanks =)
Once again, whether I make it to the final 2 or not – I want to thank everyone for the well wishes and support ! Not forgetting the new friends I’ve made through this…was nice to see other candidates congratulating each other and those who unfortunately didn’t meet the cut to wish the final 23s best of luck. It’s not just about a competition…There’s still love all around =) *awww*
[In addition : Sorry to those who are following me - I know my #WCI posts and tweets are probably getting annoying and flooding your timeline...but please don't love me any less ? ^^]
Movie Buzz : Monsters vs Aliens in 3D
I *finally* caught this movie with the boyfriend last week after talking about it for the longest time, I guess one thing we have in common is our liking for anything that’s related to monsters/aliens/zombies. We decided to catch the movie in 3D as recommended by our friends on plurk and oh boy, it sure was a visual treat !
When I first came across the title, I imagined a movie that’s similar to AVP with scary looking creatures having this “end-of-the-world” smackdown. Rather thankful for something that’s totally different with adorable characters crafted with different personalities, my personal favourite gotta be Bob and Insectosaurus !
Quite a tickling comedy that’s suitable for all ages, crude humor between those clever dialogues. Bob provides all the comical blunders that you’ll probably need in a movie. Loves how he tried to hook up with the Jello !
The 3D effects were awesome ! The depth of field and random stuff flying towards you was a great experience, but more importantly, the clarity of animation was astounding. Even though it was not the kind of 3D effects that will keep you on the edge of your seats, I had a good time and really enjoyed having those ugly 3D glasses on.
Great voice talents as well, I think one important criteria for a good animation film is having engaging voice talents who can really portray your characters in a more “lively” manner. Although this time round, the talents used are unusally high-caliber for such an animation film ? Guess they are really trying to make it a big success.
If you’re going to the theatres to check this out, do remember to watch it in 3D !
P.S : I’m collecting the MvA Happy Meal Toys in my office ! I WANT BOB ! (any kind souls want to donate the other 5 4 i’m missing? lol) [update : the boyfriend got me bob today...hur hur]
