'The Artist' review

On Wednesday, thanks to Nuffnang and Roadshow Entertainment, I went for my first Nuffnang event!

And I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised!

It was a silent film that I really enjoyed and didn't fall asleep! 

It was held at the Gold Class cinema at Jam Factory. A good excuse to leave work on time, we got to South Yarra train station at 6.20pm. We had Spudbar for dinner before we got to the cinema and it was one hell of a satisfying serve of carbs!

Upon arrival, I instantly knew I was among Nuffnangers. Smartphones came out, flashes all around the place to get the best photo of the entrance.

I too couldn't help myself. 

We got a drink each and made our way inside the cinema. 

I've only been to the Director's Suite in Hoyts once and because the reclining seats were so comfortable, I fell asleep during Iron Man! I know. I've never done that before but with a blanket to cover my cold feet, even the sound effects couldn't stop me from getting a shut-eye. We also found a DVD of the movie once we got to our comfy seats. 

If you're into (or even if you're not into) silent films, you should watch it when it comes out on DVD on June 28th. I won't spoil it for you.

Till the next one, here's a shot of my favourite bit of the film.

Gotta love a drama queen! Have a good cold weekend and keep your feet warm with your favourite pair of W(Uggs)! 

Just because I have to...

I have come to realise (only just yesterday when I checked out my own blog) that I haven't updated or even contributed to the number of visits since last year. It is rather embarrassing and the thought of having to post another entry after over a year, is just a waste of time. 

I have the usual excuse of being too busy. Over the course of a little over a year, I have managed to achieve quite a lot (while I wasn't spending time on my blog). I  (as far as I can remember):

• had my 24th and 25th birthday and have (somewhat) experienced a quarter life crisis
• have enjoyed (although people will think I'm mad) my job as an assistant brand manager at Vitality Brands. look out for my brands the next time you're grocery shopping: Well Naturally and AntiOx
• bought a brand new couch after we've survived on the single futon couch/bed for over 3 years
• have gone snowboarding (came back with a terrible back ache) and about to go for another trip in 4 weeks
• had my mom and grandma visit me during winter, where they absolutely despised winter 
• watched 'love never dies' at the regent theatre 
• went to derby day, drank and won cash
• went for a press approval for the first time for the cartons of my brands. printing is a challenging job and marketers are very fussy with colours
• went to work in flip-flops, a Hawaiian skirt and a straw hat as part of our 'big Hawaiian shirt day'
• realized bunnings warehouse is overwhelming
• planted basil, mint and coriander for self consumption, kept them alive until fatboy dehydrated them
• went home to malaysia for chinese new year, spent the holidays with the family eating, shopping and getting more shoes
• watched big bang theory with my sister almost every night before bed during my 4 week holiday at home
• bought more shoes to add to my collection and officially have 34 pairs (I worked out if I wore a pair each for a day, I would only wear each pair 12 times at most).
• got addicted to tetris battle on Facebook (thanks to my sister), made it to level 21 and have been stuck there since February
• ran for the kids in April and successfully (without fainting) ran 5.2k under 33 minutes
• went fishing two days in a row and caught nothing
• have been extremely excited about my friend's baby boy who is extremely cute and have been getting all the attention since
• went to sydney (second year now) for work for the Sydney triathlon, told myself (again) that if they can do it, i should be able to since i'm only 25. but maybe next year
• won a pair of wuggs from wittner
• and the list goes on...

anyways...

this is obviously an obligatory post. reason? I won a gold class double pass from nuffnang (haven't had an ad on my blog in years) to watch the silent, Academy award winning film 'The Artist'. To tell you the truth, I haven't seen a silent film since i was young, when I used to watch with my late grandfather. I'm excited. The giveaway includes a double pass, small popcorn and a drink (beer, wine or soft drink) and I can't wait. 

Apart from that, I get 2 copies of 'The Artist' DVD, one to keep for myself, and another to giveaway to readers in a post or competition thanks to Roadshow Films. Considering I haven't had readers in a long, longgggg time, anyone who reads this and comments (you only need to ask for it in a comment, considering you're in Melbourne) gets a copy of the DVD. That's also another reason why this link was up on facebook. You and I both know what social media can do. 

I will (promise) to write about the film next week. 

until then... keep your feet warm with a pair of Wittner Wuggs
