The weather was SO hot today!! After finished my house work, meet dear at MRT station.... our plan today is NATAS Fair! By 12.30pm we reached Suntec City and have our lunch 1st at Republic Food Court. Eh, weird........ how come Suntec so quiet? Calm & peaceful, doesn't make sense to us that NATAS Fair so quiet? Let's see ...
After lunch, we went up to the Convention Hall to look for NATAS booth. How come we couldn't find any of the sign board? Hmm... fishy...... now we sense something is wrong! Coincidence we met 1 mother + son looking for NATAS hall as well and we heard the son's talked on the phone loudly, 'huh! NATAS Fair at EXPO??'! We were liked 'Oh my god, 'SHIT'!' We came to the wrong venue!!! Dumb dumb........ what to do, took a cab to Expo -_- So, remember... must 100% confirmed 1st before go somewhere ~~~
We reached Expo about 1.30pm. We were searching for which hall and we saw 2 ladies were sitting near the main hall entrance reading their travel brochure, obviously just finished their NATAS show. We went over and asked for the direction to NATAS fair and it was at Hall 4. On the way to hall 4, when I turn backed, eh, where's dear dear? He's MIA!! I U-turn back and looked for him, wondering where he slipped to! Aha, I saw dear dear was talking to the 2 ladies that we asked for direction earlier...... I walked over and realized, they gave us the entry 'wrist' ticket to us! Oh, they are so nice ^-^! Dear dear asked them why not we purchase from them directly but they rejected and said, since they not going to re-enter the fair they shall just give it to us thus we do not need to queue and buy for the entry ticket. Thanks god! We met nice people ~~~ Thanks to the 2 leng luis (pretty gals)! ^-*
* Per entry is $3 per person - and the queue was Super long!
We enter straight to the fair without queueing :p We saw not much people yet but Chan Brothers was full with people sitting at the staff counter asking for packages! We spend about 2 hours plus at the fair and got our brochures. We are only asking for Free & Easy package which is much easier and faster queue : ) Got all the brochures, left the fair and rush down to Orchard for our movie, The MUMMY~~
The show start at 5pm, we reached Cineleisure about 3.30pm and we still have time to shop around :) Bought 1 top and I like it so much! :p
The Mummy Synosis:
The film begins with a narration about the rise to power of Emperor Jin, the Dragon Emperor. He conquered all his enemies, many of whom were buried under the Great Wall of China, and mastered the five elements, but could not conquer death. To that end, he sought the help of Zi Yuan, who knew where to find the secret of immortality. Jin declares to his first in command, General Ming, that no man is to touch her; however, the two fell in love during their search. After Zi Yuan supposedly casts the immortality spell on Jin, he ushers Zi Yuan to the balcony to watch as General Ming is pulled apart by horses. He then stabs Zi Yuan. She reveals that she has in fact cursed the Emperor and his army, turning them into terra cotta statues, and manages to escape.
The film jumps ahead to 1946. Explorer Rick O' Connell, his wife Evelyn, and brother-in-law Jonathan are now retired. Their son Alex has dropped out of school and become an adventurer like his parents. With the financial backing of Roger Wilson, Alex locates the Dragon Emperor's tomb. Though he is attacked by a mysterious woman, he avoids harm and successfully brings the Emperor back to Shanghai. In the meantime, the British government entrusts the elder O'Connells to take the Eye of Shangri-La back to China as a good faith gesture from the British to the Chinese. All the O'Connells arrive at Imhotep, a night club in Shanghai owned by Jonathan. Alex gives his parents a tour of the exhibit, where it is revealed that Roger Wilson is in league with a paramilitary group led by General Yang and his second in command Choi. Using the Eye of Shangri-La, which contains water from Shangri-La, they are able to resurrect the Emperor. The mysterious woman from the excavation site tries to kill the Emperor with a dagger cursed by Zi Yuan, but he manages to escape.
The mysterious woman reveals herself to be Lin, a protector of the Dragon Emperor's tomb. She explains that the path to Shangri-La can be revealed using the Eye. The O'Connells, Jonathan, and Lin trek through the Himalayas with the help of Rick's pilot friend Mad Dog Maguire and reach the tower that will reveal the path to Shangri-La when the Eye is placed on top of it. General Yang, his soldiers, and the Emperor arrive shortly after. Lin summons a trio of yeti to assist in the battle, but the Emperor ultimately succeeds in placing the Eye atop the golden tower. Rick is stabbed by the Dragon Emperor's sword while protecting Alex. Alex triggers an avalanche, which buys them time to reach Shangri-La first.
They reach Shangri-La first and Rick is healed by Zi Yuan, who was rescued by the yeti after cursing the Emperor. She is revealed to be Lin's mother, General Ming having fathered her shortly before his death. Using the water, they have become immortal and have guarded the secrets of the Emperor for over 2,000 years. The Emperor arrives and is able to bathe in the pool, restoring his physical form and giving him shape-shifting abilities. He takes the form of a three-headed dragon, kidnaps Lin, and flies to his Terracotta army at the excavation site.
The Emperor summons his army, which will become invincible should it cross the Great Wall. To buy time, Zi Yuan sacrifices her immortality and that of her daughter to revive those buried beneath the Great Wall. Led by General Ming, the undead army and the Terra Cotta army fight. A massive battle ensues, during which Zi Yuan and the Emperor fight one-on-one. Zi Yuan sacrifices herself to steal back the cursed dagger. Alex saves Lin and they find Zi Yuan dying soon after. She gives Lin the dagger and tells her to stab the Emperor through the heart. While Rick and Alex head off to fight the Emperor, Evelyn and Lin fight and kill General Yang and Choi. Rick and Alex find themselves outmatched against the shape-shifting Emperor, and the dagger is broken during the confrontation. Rick goads the Emperor into fighting fair, and manages to plunge the dagger hilt his heart. Alex in turn stabs him in the back, fusing the dagger within the Emperor's heart. The Emperor dies a dramatic death in flame.
Back at Imhoteps, Mad Dog is the new owner and the now-mortal Lin is dancing with Alex. Rick and Evelyn are dancing as well. Jonathan decides to move to Peru with the Eye of Shangri-La, a place he claims has no mummies. After he leaves, a caption appears on the screen stating that a few weeks later there were mummies discovered in Peru.

Honestly, the show really disappointed me. It doesn't as fancy as I imagine, when I saw the trailer... I was like 'wow'! But after the show, I was like 'huh'....... The show was bored and senseless to me. Jet Li can be transformed to '3 heads dragon' and 'wild bear' type monster??!! Not forget the UNIQUE 'Snow Man - YETI'??!! LOL~ When I saw the 'gorilla' jumped out after Lin shouted for help....... I was like 'WHAT? Am I watching the wrong show?', hahaha!!! It was so ridiculous and full of humor! So funny~~~ I think this was the worst show I even seen in Jet Li movie, what to say? Disappointed and not up to mark -_- I will only rate this show as 3 star. Such a waste .....
After showed, we went for our dinner and head down to Borders look for our travel books - for our honeymoon information :p where will we go? Let's see........ -_*
Head back home about 10.30pm, tired............. super tired.........
