Changi Golf Club

The Changi Golf Club, situated on the eastern point of the island of Singapore, has a stunning, hilly 9-hole course.

The Golf Club was initially formed as the Royal Air Force Changi Golf Club in 1946. Changi is a reminder of Singapore's historic association with the Second World War, because the golf course meanders through an area full of mementos of the British times like the officer's quarters, old barracks, air-raid bunkers and gun- positions.

When the Royal Air Force left Singapore in 1971, the club became privatized and civic members were allowed in. Then onwards the golf course has been upgraded on a regular basis.

The Changi Golf Club in Singapore is a tight course, sprawling over the wavy landscape.

The course was once one of the narrowest in the world, but now has been widened. The Golf Club is one of the few areas left in Singapore that retains a village atmosphere.

Mamma Mia Movie

I’m not a big fan of Musical Movies, but I definitely recommend everyone who have not watched this movie to watch it, especially if you are a fan of a successful pop group Abba.

It is the most hilarious, fantastic Musical Movie of all time. The movie is about a single mother, Donna (Meryl Streep) who has a daughter Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) who’s getting married at the age of 20. Sophie never knew her father and discovered that she got three potential fathers, Sam Carmical (Pierce Brosnan), Harry Bright (Colin Firth) and Bill Anderson (Stellan Skarsgard) that her mother have kept secret. Sophie secretly invited all three of her potential fathers to her wedding to find out which one of these men is her father. The movie got lots of unexpected twists and ending.
The whole story is woven together with the music of ABBA.

To find out more you should watch this great movie, as for me I won’t mind to watch it again in the theatre and can’t wait for the DVD to be realeased.

Rating 9/10

Prom Night Movie Review

Well, the title of the post is called Prom Night Movie Review, but I'm asking myself if this thing is worth calling a movie!

Ok, a quick summary.

A female student was stalked by a crazy teacher and she witnesed how he killed her mother.

Three years later it's Prom Night and that same killer escaped to come back for her.

In his quest for his princess he kills everybody that crosses his path before getting shot himself.

This movie suposed to be in the horror/suspense genre but there is little of all that.

It proves once again that Hollywood movies are not always great. There have been to many of this kind of movies, where mediocre directors and actors try to make some money.

This movie is a waste of money and a waste of time.

Rating: -5/10

I created a minus rating just for this movie, which means they should pay you money to go and watch this movie!

Boat Quay Singapore

Boat Quay was the busiest part of the old Port of Singapore, handling three quarters of all shipping business during the 1860s. It was the hotspot for trading and so it became the starting point of Singapore’s success as a business hub.

In those days Raffles had signed an agreement that made Boat Quay a free port for Singapore which caused a big influx from immigrants of neighbouring countries.

Boat Quay's decline as a Port began in the 1960s.

The shophouses have been carefully conserved and now house various bars, pubs and restaurants.
Boat Quay now offers Chinese, Indian, Indonesian, Thai, Italian and other international cuisine.

It is the probably the best place for the Singapore entertainment scene where most professionals and expatriates go to chill out after work.

Boat Quay is a great place to spend the evening and have a nice dinner at one of the riverside restaurants with great views.

It is all a bit pricy and touristy but still a great spot to plunge into the night life.

To get there just take MRT to Raffles Place and head towards the Singapore River.

The Strangers movie review

When Kristen (Liv Tyler) and James (Scott Speedman) are staying at a secluded vacation home in the woods after attending a friend's wedding scrary events start to occure.
Opening the door after a loud knock they found a dazed young woman in front of the door wish they send away.
When James head back to the city for a short while, Kirsten gets terrorised by three people and when James finnaly gets back he founds Kirsten in shock.

During the long night they try to find a way out of this terrorising nightmare.

The movie was made with a very small budget to Hollywood standards.
Tyler and Speedman put down a great performance in this horror suspence movie where the violence happens off camera.

A great movie that gives you a few jumps in your seat. It seems to be the new trend of movies.

£350,000 to give peace a chance

£350,000, thats what has been paid for John Lennon's handwritten lyrics for 'Give Peace A Chance' at a rock memorabilia auction.

John Lennon wrote the lyrics on a piece of paper in a hotel suite in Montreal during Lennon and Yoko Ono's historic Bed-In for Peace in 1969.

The framed lyrics where sold by Gail Renard who was in John Lennon's company when he wrote the lyrics.

Reading the lyrics makes the whole thing a bit ironic as a piece of paper is sold for that amount of money.

At the same auction another Beatles memorabilia was sold at a record price. A drumskin used by the Fab Four on the front cover of their 1967 album Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, fetched £450,000.

I geuss The Beatles still stand for big money!

Hancock Movie Review

Hancock is Super Hero Movie directed by Peter Berg and staring Will Smith and Charlize Theron.
Will Smith plays an alcoholic Super Hero whon saved many peoples lives in Los Angeles but gets no respect because of his unusual way of saving people.
One day he saves a public-relations spokesperson his live and in return this man will try to change Hancock's public image for the better.
Hancock will have to spend some time in prison as part of this public image improvement.
After some time the Chief of Police asks Hancock to rescue people in a chaotic bank robbery and Hancock becomes popular again.
Soon after he finds out that the wife of the public-relations spokesperson, Mary, is actualy his wife who also has Super Powers.
Mary reveals that they are the last two Super Hero's and have been a couple off and on for 3,000 years. When they meet their other half they become mortal and Hancock starts loosing his Super Powers.
During a revenge plot by some criminals that Hancock put away he and MAry gets serious injured.
To save Mary, Hancock leaves the city, restoring both of their power.

Altough the movie has received mainly poor to average reviews it is still a great action Super Hero Movie.
The movie has got some great special effects and Will Smith puts down a convincing role.

If you are looking for pure entertainment and not to much thinking then Hancock is what you are looking for.

Rating: 7/10

The Incredible Hulk Movie Review

Going into the movie theater with a big dose of skepticism but coming out quite pleased.
The Incredible Hulk is not the best movie I have ever seen but it provided the dose of pure entertainment I was hoping for.

Edward Norton plays Bruce Banner, a fugitive living in Brazil, who is looking for a cure for the disease called “Hulk”. Whenever he gets angry ( not hungry!) he will turn green and gets superpowers that allows him too even throw cars in the air. Being a man who is not happy with what he became he wants to find answers.


Tim Roth plays Emil Blonsky, a soldiers who wants the power that the Hulk caries in him. He will be injected with a dose of some radioactive stuff so he can become as powerful as the hulk.
While the actors perform very good in their roles it comes all down to the animated characters to fight it out in a great climax.

Marvel produced a comic movie that is far above standard and by far an improvement over Ang Lee’s Hulk.

Rating: 7/10

Kung Fu Panda Movie Review

All Po(Jack Black), the Panda, wants is to be a Kung Fu Master but being a Panda doesn't help him much to realize his dreams.
But during a formal ceremony Po is chosen by tortoise Master Oogway to become the next Dragon Warrior.
And so Po's training starts to become the ultimate Kung Fu Fighter.
He is trained by Shifu(Dustin Hofman) in an attempt to get him ready to fight the evil snow leopard warrior Tai Lung.
Po, will also get help in his training of the Furious Five, Tigress(Angelina Jolie), Monkey(Jacky Chan), Viper(Lucy Liu), Mantis(Seth Rogen) and Crane(David Cross).
After intensive training Po will face the evil snow leopard warrior Tai Lung to reveal who is the one and only Dragon Warrior.

Hilarious from beginning all the way till the end!
Maybe the best animated film of the last few years, together with Shrek.
Although there are a lot of great actors in the cast,it's all about the Panda or should I say Jack Black.
And it is what he does best: being super funny.

Rating: 8/10

Homer is getting a paycheck raise

After months of negotiating the voices of the Simpsons are getting a raise.
Every member of the Simpsons family will get around 380.000 US$ per episode.
It puts Homer Simpson in a whole new perspective.
No, Homer is not a born loser, he only acts like that and he got a great hair style(well, I have to say that because mine starts to look like that).
I guess every man recognizes something of himself in good old Homer Simpson.
And it must make Lisa and Bart the richest cartoon teenagers in the world!
Maybe Marge can finally get a hear cut or a new hair color.
I wonder if Moe is getting a raise as well?

My Favorite Top 10 Movies Of All Time

When I look around on the internet for a list of best movies of all times I find lists that look strange to me. Movies that I didn’t expected in the list where in the top 20 and movies that I expected where not in there.
Offcourse, when it comes to choosing the best movie of all times is very subjective and the outcome will be different for every person.
One of my rules is, how many times can you watch the same movie before you really get tired of it?
Anyway this is my top ten. I have to say that it might look different in a few years.

1. The Lord of the Rings trilogy: Based on the book of Tolkien and directed by Peter Jackson, following the hobbits in their quest against evil. And saying that Jackson never made a big hit movie before, very impressive.
2. Forrest Gump: Tom Hanks at his best. The life of Forrest Gump and a glimpse at American history. Super Funny!!I think my wife watched this one more than 15 times!
3. City of God(Cidade de Deus): A non Hollywood movie. The life in the Brazilian Slumps(Favelas). Most of the actors in the movie are actually not real actors but people from the Slumps. If you don’t like the Big Hollywood productions, this is a movie you have to see.
4. Casablanca: Back to the black and white movies. Released in 1942, starring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman. Considered best Romantic movie of all times. Play it Sam!
5. E.T.: Can there be a list of good movies without a Steven Spielberg movie. You have got to love Aliens after this one. E.T. phone home!!
6. The Godfather: Directed by Francis Ford Coppola and starring Al Pacino, Robert Duval and Marlon Brando in his best role. Maybe the best Gangster movie together with Once Upon A Time In America, starring Robert De Niro.
7. Titanic(1997): Because James Cameron did such a great job recreating one of the most spectacular naval disasters in history. It’s my wife’s favorite movie.
8. The Exorcist: The most scariest movie I have ever seen in my life. I remember looking under my bed before I went to sleep after watching this movie, when I was a kid.
9. Lawrence of Arabia: Haven’t seen this one in a long time. Released in 1962, considered as one of the greatest movies of all times.
10. The Goonies: I know, this one is probably not even in the top 500 of all times. Call it nostalgia. By far my favorite movie when I was a kid. Another great Spielberg movie.

Well, I think there wont be too many people agreeing with me on this one, but that’s what I mean with Subjective!!!!

Out of Africa

Out of Africa is one of those movies I wanted to see again for a long time.
I even told my wife about it last night.
And then today in the news: Director Sydney Pollack died of cancer last night.
With Out of Africa the man made probably his best movie and he deservedly got an Oscar for it as best director in 1985.
In total the movie got 7 Oscars that year.
Out of Africa tells the story of a white Coffee plantation owner, played by Meryl Streep, who lives in Kenia.
Robert Redford also stars in the movie.
Definitely the next movie to buy on my list!

Champions League Final 2008

Today the Champions League Final will be played in the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow.
Manchester United will face Chelsea in an all England Final, well, thats how it's been promoted in the media.
OK, lets look at the teams.
Manchester United team: Van der Sar, Kuszczak, Heaton; Brown, Evra, Ferdinand, Vidic, Neville, O'Shea, Pique, Silvestre, Anderson, Fletcher, Hargreaves, Carrick, Scholes, Giggs, Nani, Park, Ronaldo, Rooney, Tevez, Saha, Welbeck.

Chelsea team: Cech, Hilario, Cudicini, Belletti, Ferreira, Alex, Ben-Haim, Terry, Carvalho, A Cole, Bridge, Makelele, Essien, Lampard, Ballack, Kalou, Wright-Phillips, J Cole, Malouda, Drogba, Shevchenko, Anelka, Mikel.

If I count correctly, there are 15 non English players in the Man. U squad and 17 non English players in the Chelsea squad.
Stating that it will be an all English final can't be more wrong. In fact, it is probably the most international game of the season, with players from a dozen different countries.
Blatter was criticized for trying to put a limit on foreigners in teams.
Some people in the Premier League said it was out of jealousy because the Premier league is the strongest league in the world.
Maybe so, but tell me, how come England didn't qualify for Euro 2008?
Because most off the top players in England are not English!
Besides all that, the two teams deserve to be in the Final.
So it will be a very International game tonight.
And lets hope it will be of great quality and let the best team win.

Sentosa

If you are looking for a day out of the city, Sentosa is a good alternative.
It is an island just off the southern coast of Singapore.
Sentosa offers a reasonably wide range of attractions and activities.
Although some Singaporeans make a little joke about Sentosa, stating that “Sentosa” actually stands for "So Expensive and Nothing TO See Actually".
The island is popular among Singaporeans for its beaches, but don’t expect it to be like the beaches in Thailand. Siloso, Palawan and Tangong are the three artifical beaches on the Island.
All the beaches are accessible by trams, shuttling people around the island.

Carlsberg Sky Tower : With its 131 m above sea level it is Asia's tallest observation tower.
Underwater World: Asia's largest tropical oceanarium
Dolphin Lagoon: Offering daily shows of dolphins doing the usual acrobatic tricks.
For Golf fans: try out the Sentosa Golf Club. It hosts the yearly Barclays Open and it is the only Golf Club in Singapore hat is open to the public.
On the weekend, the beaches can offer some great parties like the yearly outdoor party, Zoukout.
