Preparing for my US trip

Will be attending a course in San Bernardino next month. With only 3 weeks to go, I am kinda freaking out. The course material is tough stuff. I hope I can come back with a pass. My fourth trip to the United States, this time I will be travelling alone again. After my course, I will be flying from the west coast to the east coast to revisit New York City. I missed New York. I will be spending a little time there and then I will travel to Washington, Niagara's Falls and Boston. Will update again once I am back with photos!

Toy Story 3

Pixar did it again. Toy Story 3 is a funny, warm and thrilling addition to the Toy Story franchise. I guess it completes the Toy Story Trilogy story arc and the ending was really touching. I love Mr. Potato and the new character Ken, in case you do not know, he is the ultra metrosexual partner of Barbie. Both of them are hilarious.

I remember watching Toy Story 1 at the age of 15 back in 1995...gosh that was almost 15 years ago. Back then, they were the pioneer of computer animation in contrast to the hand-drawn animation by Disney. 15 years later, they still stand tall among all the other computer animated movies that followed.


In celebration of Pixar's 20 years of animation, they are having an exhibition at the Singapore Science Centre from now till 27th June. Yes, the exhibition closes next weekend! I will be heading down to catch it before it ends. For details check out. http://www.pixar.com.sg/
