Sample Store X UrbanSki

Recently, I attended the Urbanski Summer Ski Culture event at Dhoby Ghaut Green. This is a great opportunity for me trying a new sports in Singapore! I will share my experience as you follow me through the post. 

Urbanski provides a whole new experience for us to enjoy skiing in tropical countries with rollerskis (skis-on-wheels) in golf resorts. The beautiful landscapes and undulating terrain in golf courses are the most pleasurable and safest spaces to enjoy rollerski. 

Need a core and cardio full-body workout? Then, choose rollerski because it engages at least 90 percent of the body's muscles and can burn up to 1000 calories. Basically, kids and adults can rollerski with Urbanski!

It used to be seen as an extreme sport but rollerskis are redesigned for everyman:

Level 1 - Trainer skis, safe, slow, stable with minimum danger and maximum fun
Level 2 - Intermediate skis
Level 3 - Pro-skis

Participants can experience Summerski by land or sea transfer from Singapore to Batam or Malaysia in 30 minutes. [Urbanski Palm Resort], [Urbanski Palm Springs], [Urbanski Starhill] and [Urbanski
Tamarin].

Purchase a pass which includes resort access and Summerski rentals:

1. Annual unlimited entry worldwide

2. Term entry (3 months, specific resort)

3. On-month Unlimited (specific resort)
4. Day-trip (Specific resort)

I start to learn this interesting sport by walking sideways. While trying out, I tell myself to stay focus, confident and keep it going. After more practice, I get better with the knowledge of when to accelerate and brake. I also challenge myself to ski down a slope. It is fun, enriching and a guaranteed fat-burner. A safe activity for the young and old!

[Movie Review] 《花椒之味》FAGARA Gala Premiere

After her father died, a Hong Kong girl discovers she has two hitherto unknown sisters, one in Taiwan and one in China. To settle her father's debt, she must reunite with them to run the family's hot pot restaurant. While the androgynous Taiwan sister is plagued by her toxic relationship with her mother, the fashionista sister from China is trying to fend off her grandmother's pressure to get married. Meanwhile, she is striving to unshackle herself from her ex-boyfriend in order to start a new relationship. 

Recently, I have attended the gala premiere of《花椒之味》FAGARA at Filmgarde Bugis+.

The movie is engaging, heart-warming with a focused story-line. It has a brief introductory which turn out rather slow and draggy. However, it gradually get better with a conducive plot. 

Though it only revolve a few characters, the show is still promising with veteran artiste such as Sammi Cheng and Andy Lau. 

Also, it educate me to let go of previous grudges, move on and forgive. In whatever circumstances, family will always be supportive to shower care, love and concern. Hence, cherish them dearly before it is too late. 

Prepare yourself a packet of tissue because tears may naturally roll down from your eyes.

The movie will be officially out on 12 September 2019.

[Movie Review] Angel Has Fallen

Secret Service Agent Mike Banning is framed for the attempted assassination of the President and must evade his own agency and the FBI as he tries to uncover the real threat. 

I've just watched Angel Has Fallen with Trois at GV Plaza.

The show was compact, engaging but somewhat predictable. Initally, the introductory was rather draggy. However, the progression gradually got better with a condicive plot. 

The many intense moment such as the bombing, action-pack and fighting definitely kept me at the edge of the seat. It also reminded me about the importance of kinship and to cherish the people around me. Honestly, this is probably the best instalment among the 3. 

A thriller-action movie that is compact and exciting!

[Toggle Originals] KIKI Drama Review

An autistic animation artist, Jay, falls in love with his own animated character, Kiki, who actually comes to life one day. His obsession with perfecting and keeping her for himself ultimately leads to severe consequences.

Just finished watching KIKI , which was currently aired on Toggle. Personally, I thought the drama was engaging and had a refreshing plot. It had a great progression in each episode, which allow me to ponder and follow closely. If you watched the Korean Drama W - Two Worlds, I believe you will see similarity in its story.

The finale had it's own surprising element which let viewers have their own interpretation. Kudos to Brian Ng for his amazing acting capability. Also, not to miss out Kimberly Chia as she has great improvement protraying her role.

If a tiny little thing can escape something so massive and scary, then there's always a way out. Even when it seems impossible
