It’s the first time we are going to the fair! This is like a state fair – a little of fun fair, games ( Think ‘Uncle Ringo’ type of games – the kind we get super excited because it’s like a HUGE pasar malam), farmers from varies counties/cities displaying their crops and barn animals

BH and I enjoyed ourselves- being away from our friends in US for some time.. it’s lovely to be surrounded by them, cracking silly jokes only asians will understand 🙂

Did i mention? I am NOT a fan of soft toys.. either do I like Hello Kitty ( I may be Hello Kitty’s fan.. who knows!) BUT the toys in this fair is really good… It’s from ‘SANRIO’ !! yes, printed on the tag!!! I just got to bring My Melody and Hello Kitty home..

Admission fee: $9/pax ( bought discounted tickets from Safeway)

Parking: $8/car for the day (parked in residential backyard)

Great clip from Disney 🙂

I am a Princess.

I am brave sometimes. I am scared sometimes. Sometimes, I am brave even when I am scared.

I believe in loyalty and trust. I believe loyalty is built on trust.

I try to be kind. I try to be generous. I am kind even when others are not so generous.

I am a Princess.

I think standing up for myself is important. I think standing up for others is more important. But standing with others is most important.

I am a Princess.

I believe compassion makes me strong. Kindness is power. And family is the tightest bond of all.

I have heard I am beautiful. I know I am strong.

I am a Princess. Long may I reign.

“one day… just one day…”

“give me a minute…”

“don’t waste my time..”

“time is money..”

Does all the above sound familiar? These phrases are things we say/hear quite frequently! well.. BH recommended that I watch the movie “In time” He was like.. ” It’s a great movie! I love it! You will love it too…” haha… it’s interesting that he thinks that I’ll be interested in the same things as him. Nevertheless I watched..

Besides the pretty actress and cute actor.. this movie also have a amazing plot (in my humble opinion) I like how the movie portray a extreme type of lifestyle which reflects the life we are leading now

The plot brings us to a world where the amount of time you have is indicated on your arm. Time stops when one reaches 25 years old – so you practically stop aging at 25! How cool!! This means you will be forever young!!! 😀 However, you need to ‘make time’ by working. Your salary is in terms of ‘time’ ( you could earn ‘years’, days’, ‘minutes’ each day) When you want to make a purchase or pay bills , you pay by time (you can give ’30mins’ as a gift!)

This concept can be confusing  .. but it’s extremely thought provoking!  Can you imagine if you are living by the minute or if you only had 1 day to live? What would you do? If you can live to 100 years , how are you going to manage your time?

[Added on] Just recalled this part of the movie – There’s a scene which shows Justin eating alone in a posh restaurant. The waitress came and asked him ” You are not from here aren’t you? ” Justin was eating really fast as he was from the ghetto – he does not have ‘time’ to waste. This part reminds me of myself. I used to eat really fast because I don’t have the luxury of time to chew, appreciate and taste my food. In recent years, I realized that I eat really slow..  like I will be one of the last few who is still eating when everyone is done. I guess, my life here is much slower.. maybe I am one of those with at least ’10 years’ on my arm… haha

I know.. u probably don’t know what I am talking about… so watch the movie!

July 18

(1/10 of my personal blog challenge)

Together with our friends, BH and I went for movies at Marymoor park The movie that night was Hugo, which we had not watched

It was an interesting experience for us as it was our first time watching movie in such a setting

The admission fee was $5 each which I thought was expensive as it’s an old movie and it is in a outdoor setting :/ we also needed to pay $1 for parking at the park. However, it was nice way to enjoy the warm summer nights outdoors ( it turned chilly quite quickly as it gets darker) I see people bringing sleeping bags, thick blankets and even pillows! hahaha it feels like a slumber party

The movie was shown at dusk ( ard 8-9pm) There were no subtitles on the screening but the audio was quite good.. the audience were mostly considerate – only occasional barks or babies crying

Here’s a pic of us ( u can see Justin and Sofie in the background.. heh)

I thought Hugo was quite a nice show. I like movies with a whimsical feel + how the movie makes dreams comes alive. It’s the kind of show which will mk you feel good! haha.. well.. the guys think it’s just “horse horse tiger tiger” blah…

This is probably my last movie at Marymoor for the year :/

well.. it’s the first time i heard my birthday analysis over the radio! I am so surprised to know that one of my good traits is 多才多艺 ( talented/gifted/versatile)

WOW! Really??? What talent do I have? I can’t seem to find something that I’m really good in :/
