Precious Moments Event 2011

Been ages since I last update, my oh my~ terrible me. Shall try my best to update more frequently! My apologizes! > <

Went to the Precious Moments Event on Oct 8 (opps super long ago I know!) and boy was I excited about it. It was my first time attending a PM Event, I have been staring at the brochure for weeks and finally it's here!! 

Just look at the amount of people in there!

This year is extra special cause it's also the 15th Anniversary of Precious Thots, which is like a branch of Precious Moments in Singapore, therefore Precious Moments specially came up with a few limited editions just for us!! :D  And this year's theme is all about this special figurine named "Many Years Filled With Precious Thots".

The beautiful wallpaper of "Many Years Filled With Precious Thots" at the event. Wished I could bring it home.

And this is the figurine itself. 

Isn't it just endearing? <3

More photos of the event figurines:

Adorable garden set!

And the Disney figurines: 

I find this one in particular super cute! But nope, it's not on my to-buy list.

I was slightly disappointed by the event. Cause I was expecting much more figurines, but there were only 3 sets of the same figurines (all those above) on display. And I saw from previous years photos, lucky draw prizes were pretty much the same, 1st prize is a $2000 travel voucher. 

2nd Prize: 9" Love One Another 

3rd Prize: A Wonderful Dream Come True

4th: He Watches Over Us All

Can't rmb which prize this is but it's so heart warming.
30 Years of Loving, Caring And Sharing.

7th Prize: Mini set of Fall Festival (set of 7 figurines)

The prizes were really cute. Too bad I didn't win any. But at least I got myself something at the lucky spin! Will show you guys my haul in my next post! I promise I'll update soon!!

1st prize for lucky spin: We're Pulling For You
2008 Symbol of Membership Fun Club Figurine
Nahh~ this isn't what I've got.
One lady was totally bouncing up and down when she saw she's got this figurine! 

Even though the figurines on display kinda disappoint me (wished they had more), and the queue for payment and everything was quite long, I still had fun at the event. Also had my figurine signed by the PM sculptor Hiko Maeda! Will consider going for next year's too. But we'll see how *winks*

Master Sculptor Hiko Maeda and me and my signed figurine! ^^

I have my traffic police test next Thur! Hopefully I can get through it!! 

Only a few days left in October 2011, hope everyone makes full use of them! :)

がんばって ね  みんなさん!!

PM Disney "Riding Off To A Fairytale Ending"

Hey all~ sorry for the hiatus. Been busy preparing for some tests/exams. I still have my Basic Driving Theory Test tmr!! *nervous nervous* But just thought I'll quickly post my haul for today (and I'll be updating about other random things I've bought lately after my BTT).

I also just had my ABRSM violin exam today!! (nahh im only grade 2 > <, Old Beginner haha) Dead nervous about it~ but it's over!! Hopefully I can pass it with flyinggg colours xD And so this is my "little" reward for myself: 

Precious Moments Disney "Riding Off To A Fairytale Ending"

Isn't it just sweet? I've been eyeing the PM membership figurine for quite a while now (well since the start of this year > <), but couldn't quite justify myself to get it cause there wasn't many new figurines that I like. I prefer the older collection, which are not available in stores. Plus PM figurines are much cheaper online xD 

But when I saw this~ I knew I had to get it!! It's too cute to pass up!! Most Precious Thots stores don't even have this!! (Think they sold out? Since this figurine was already out at last year's PM event) And there wasn't many online either. So yep~ this and the membership figurine (which I'll be collecting in August along with my membership card), and a hugeeee hole in my pocket > <

Love the rocking horse!! Though it doesn't rock lol.

"The trail to a fairytale ending is long and winding, but along the way you meet the most wonderful characters. This sweet little one, dressed as her favourite Princess Snow White, sits atop her white rocking horse bidding her toy Dopey farewell. Just as Snow White had to say goodbye to all her dwarf friends, this little one knows that without the love and support of friends, it would be impossible to find the happy ending." 

I love this. This is why me, and so many others, adore Precious Moments figurines so much. Cause each and everyone of them carries a significance meaning. Like this one. The importance of friends. Yes, without the love and support of all my friends and family, I wouldn't be standing here today =) 

More photos:

Marking: Tree, 2010

But it says 2009 on the figurine, misleading much?

And this piece actually doesn't come with the tag. I asked the salesgirl about this, and she said she checked all of the "Riding Off To A Fairytale Ending" pieces and they all don't come with a tag. Anyone else have this problem with their PM pieces too? But she was nice enough to call the head office up about this and they agreed to make one for me. Naww now I feel special =D

Haha anyways, I gotta get back to my studying now. Will definitely be posting more after my BTT!! Shall end with a photo of my BTT book.

Have a nice week everyone =)

Tangled *Super long post + spoilers*

"Flower, gleam and glow

Let your power shine

Make the clock reverse

Bring back what once was mine

Heal what has been hurt

Change the fates' design

Save what has been lost

Bring back what once was mine

What once was mine"

Here I am again, wondering for the umpteen time, why is this movie so beautiful? This is already my third time re-watching Tangled, yet I am still enchanted by it, well what can I say? I love this movie <33 I know this movie has already been out for quite some time now, and yes I did watch it in the cinemas, but I didn't get my hands on a copy of it until now, so here's my little summary:

First up, meet the leads!!

The charming but vain Eugene Fitzherbert a.k.a. Flynn Rider - Zachary Levi

"They just can't get my nose right!"

Shocked by his own hand? xD

HEHEHE ^^

Our innocent yet feisty heroine Rapunzel - voiced by Mandy Moore

*thumbs up for this great movie*

Told ya she's one feisty blondie.

Aww how sweet. Baby Rapunzel had a toy chameleon. Is that why the grown-up Rapunzel has a pet chameleon too?

Rapunzel's only friend a.k.a. pet chameleon - the one and only lovable Pascal

LOL!!!

HAHAHAHA ohh Pascal I love you so muchhh XOXO

Pascal's such a sweetie :)

And no one forgot about dear fighter horse Maximus did they?

Cause if you did he'll probably bite your head off.

Or maybe try to cut ya.

But deep down we all know that Maximus' a big sweetheart~ ^^

And this is one of my favourite scene of the movie:
Rapunzel's conflict with herself when she first left the tower

"I can't believe I did this!" x3

"Mother would be so furious!"

"But that's ok, I mean what she doesn't know won't kill her, right?"

"Oh my gosh, this would kill her."

"This is soooo fun~~~ "

"I, am a horrible daughter. I'm going back."

"I am never going back~~ xD"

"I am a despicable human being."

"Wow oh~~ Best. Day. Ever!!"

*sobs*

And Eugene go and sorta comfort her.

Hahaha I gotta say I love this scene!! Rapunzel's conflict with herself is totally hilarious~ not to mention Eugene in the background looking all bored and wondering what's wrong with this girl. <33333

And finally, my favourite favourite favourite scene of all: The Lights

I See the Light Lyrics
From Tangled (Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi)

All those days
Watching from the windows
All those years
Outside looking in
All that time
Never even knowing
Just how blind I’ve been

Now I’m here
Blinking in the starlight
Now I’m here
Suddenly I see
Standing here
It’s oh, so clear
I’m where I’m meant to be

And at last, I see the light
And it’s like the fog has lifted
And at last, I see the light
And it’s like the sky is new
And it’s warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once
Everything looks different
Now that I see you

All those days
Chasing down a daydream
All those years
Living in a blur
All that time
Never truly seeing
Things the way they were

Now she’s here
Shining in the starlight
Now she’s here
Suddenly I know
If she’s here
It’s crystal clear
I’m where I’m meant to go

And at last, I see the light
And it’s like the fog has lifted
And at last, I see the light
And it’s like the sky is new
And it’s warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once
Everything is different
Now that I see you
Now that I see you

Disney has done it again~ watching Disney movies indeed makes one feel special like a little child. This is definitely a movie worth collecting. I shall not give any more spoilers out, so those of you who have not watch Tangled yet~ Go watch it!!

**All screen caps and lyrics above belong to the Disney movie Tangled.**

I shall reminisce in the after-effects of this beautiful movie now.

Bye guys. Have fun watching.
