Homecoming 《笑着回家》Movie Gala + Post Party with the cast!

I will watch this again!

A Chinese New Year Movie you'll want to catch with your family and friends. A Chinese New Year Movie you'll want to buy, keep a copy of its original DVD (then no heads will walk past your TV screen) and you can play it over and over again at home for your guests when they come over for house visits!

I've invited dearest Elynn Jie to watch it with me.

It turned out she knows Director Jack Neo and his wife in person since long long time ago. They were chatting together when I came. Elynn jie can dance and sing very well. You should've seen her!

Dearest treated me to popcorn!

Great minds think alike- Salted and sweet popcorn mixed together are the best!

Not many people around me really liked mixed flavoured popcorn.

I've finally found someone with the same good taste as I do- Elynn Jie!

The cast of Homecoming are very experienced in which most of them are movie directors themselves.

Mark Lee, you are already an oscar award winner in my heart. In the movie, he plays an arrogant celebrity chef with a strong honkie accent. The accent is so natural that one would think that's how he speaks in reality. Then again, who doesn't know Mark Lee? His arrogance almost cause him to lose his daughter. In the end, he finally realised that and made up to his daughter for it.

The ultimate budget auntie, Karen Neo (cross-dressed by Jack Neo), is one bargain auntie. A box of Yu-sheng which cost $488 can be sold for $88 at her call. It'll be great to bring her out to the market to buy new year goodies! She portrays a loving mother, a family woman and a kind-hearted lady- with some scenes that really brought me to tears.

Ah Meng, Karen's son, is so adorable! Frankly speaking, Ah Niu can be more natural in his acting. Perhaps the main reason is because there are too many outstanding casts in this movie.

But the part where his mum poured almost the entire bottle of medicated oil on his face and he woke up shouting "fire, fire!" was really funny!

Look out for Liu Ling Ling, she has shared a handful of valuable traditional values in which us, the younger generations, had long forgotten- the true values of kinship and family joy and the importance of reunion dinners.

In midst of all these laughter, let's not forget the many heart-warming scenes which touched our hearts; like the part where Mindy, Mark Lee's daughter, came back for her dad after she ran away from home, the newly wed couple- Rebecca & Wenhong gave up their free Bali trip for the family's reunion dinner etc.

The most remembered quote in the movie that goes something like, "I am better than a car-racer. I am a taxi-driver..." One word to describe when he said that-handsome.

I love films with happy endings. It leaves us with smiles on our faces after the show, and we go home inspired by all these happy endings.

Watch Homecoming yourself and you'll know what I mean.

Brilliant Post-party!

I was invited to the Homecoming post-party event at Gallery Bar @St.James.

You know what we bloggers do best don't you?

Yes, CAMWHORE!!!

A simple, cosy(but very cold) area for the stars to meet up close to close with us.

The cast were present to give us a short presentation about the movie, played some Q&A games and mingled around with us for photo-taking sessions.

Here are the bloggers with OMY.SG(Left to right)

Janet, Me, (i don't know who she is), Estelle, Alvin, Samantha, William, HP.

(front) Elynn Chan

With their help trying to catch the attention of the Emcees, I finally got a chance to answer one of the Q&A questions posted and won this: The Homecoming Soundtrack & limited edition Angbao packets! The soundtrack comes in 6 different versions of the Homecoming theme song sang by the respective cast in the movie, some of which are the ones with the honkie accent.

I wanted this so badly for you(readers) that our table was creating sort of a nuisance in the bar.

This is theme song sung by Jack Neo himself:

Drinks and food were served.

At first Gallery Bar didn't serve us any food and we are hungry!
When Director Neo heard about it, he quickly asked the kitchen to prepare it for us immediately. Thank you Director Jack Neo! We emptied the plate in no time!

He is one work-oriented person. In order to improve on his movie views, he kept asking for our opinions on this movie and also told us some insights- like how this Movie is doing in Malaysia, and how he still loved his passion in acting after so long. He also told us that due to overwhelming requests of other Chinese New Year movies, there has been certain cinemas where he could not get slots to show up Homecoming....

Nevertheless, we still support Local productions, won't we?

Great Success to this movie and cheers for it!

HOMECOMING 《笑着回家》 movie.

Coming to cinemas on 3rd February 2011

Review: Kinohimitsu J'pan BustUp Drink

This is about having fuller, rounder and sexier bust line- The Kinohimitsu J'pan BustUp Drink- a safe, healthy and effective solution to increase cup size in just 14 days*!

NOTE THIS:
You DO NOT have to resort to surgical methods and medication to boost your bust line!

The Kinohimitsu J'Pan BustUp drink is made in Japan, using only natural active ingredients extracted from plants. It's 100% Natural!

The size of women's bust depends on the overall amount of female hormones especially estrogen and growth hormones produced by the pituitary glands. As women age, their bodies naturally slow down the production of these hormones that may cause shrunken bust. I will review its ingredients so you know how the Kinohimitsu BustUp drink can help you!

The Ingredients

Pueraria Mirifica Root:

It is a root found in northern and north eastern Thailand and Myanmar. From Breast Enhancement Option, this Pueraria mirifica is regarded as a "Fountain of Youth" because it possesses phytoestrogen that helps supplement human estrogen. Some of its health benefits are:

Rejuvenates the body and keeps the body lively.

Anti-menopausal syndrome.

Firms breasts.

Relieves menopausal disorder.

Makes the skin beautifully young.

Possesses anti-aging properties.

Stimulates blood circulation.

Boosts memory. (I need this!)

Increases appetite.

Improves complexion.

Reduces wrinkles and freckles.

Nourishes skin condition, especially around the breasts.

Combats premature graying of hair.

Re-grows hair, strengthening and darkening existing ones.

Information from: http://www.breast-enhancement-options.com/Pueraria_Mirifica.html

Japan's Royal Family serves Pueraria Mirifica as royal food.

Green Papayas(unripe):

Contains very rich enzymes that are rarely available from other food sources. Green Papaya extract is expensive as it ripens very fast, that makes the extraction very difficult.

Collagen.

and Royal Jelly which is rich in health-beneficial active ingredients which are known to promote skin smoothness.

Best of all, it is delicious!

The drink tastes a lot like honey + Nata De Coco, sweet and soothing down the throat! Nevertheless, i do feel a slight heat within my body that will last for about an hour or so. I also got a few pimples after the 4th consecutive bottle. Generally, I have a weaker body and gets heaty very easily, even if its a packet of M&Ms. There is no discomfort and I can still peacefully sleep until the next day.

Directions of use:

Drink 1 bottle a day. For maintainance, 1-3 bottles a week.

The best time to drink:

At night just before your bedtime when the growth hormones is at its peak.

How soon will you see the result:

14 days*!

*Individuals react differently to it, some take a longer time, some a shorter time.
