Recently I caught ‘Avatar’ in 3D and to my surprise it was full house as the show opened early last December. Initially I have no intention to catch the show as the trailer doesn’t interest me. I was away for holiday and when I came back, people around me were selling it to me. Most of them watched it more than once.

As first I was telling them I will catch it when the DVD is out. However they were telling me the effect is best on the screen in 3D. What happens next is that I was sold!

Let me give you the gist of the story…
The film is set in the year 2154 on Pandora, a moon in the Alpha Centauri star system. Humans are engaged in mining Pandora’s reserves of a precious mineral which can fetch them millions, while the Na’vi—a race of indigenous humanoids—resist the colonists’ expansion, which threatens the continued existence of the Na’vi and the Pandoran ecosystem. Ironically, the “spy” who mingled among the Na’vi eventually joined forces with the Na’vi to fight against his own race to defend the Pandora and its residents.

My own verdict of the show… I LOVE IT! It’s a show not to be missed. The idea of the story is fresh and something different. I like the computer graphics, the interesting plants and species being portrayed.

Human beings are often found engaging in activities that are harming the environment and the living things on earth, due to their greed and self-centeredness.

Thinking back, how many people actually bother to slow down their pace and appreciate what Mother Nature has bestowed upon us? On the other hand, many people are always exploring new arenas like outer space and unknown territories.

I was just sharing with my colleagues the other day that I was very happy that I get to touch and feel the grass and trees on my last holiday. As the car was cruising along the road and passing by the mountains… A thought came to my mind “Wow! How beautiful the grasses are on the mountains with varying shades of earth colours. If only I can touch it or lie on it.”

Whenever we stopped over at places, I never miss the chance to mingle among the trees and grass and I even lie and roll on it. Yes, my friends say I am crazy. It feels good to be in and with nature.

We never know when we will wake up not seeing the sun or the moon might just disappear one day.

For our future generations, love the earth and do our part to keep it thriving.

I caught Astro Boy last weekend. All along I know there is this cartoon character yet I never know the origin of it.

Let me give you brief background information about Astro Boy.
His “father” is a scientist. One day the scientist’s son ventured into the laboratory while they are having a dangerous experiment. The experiment went wrong and the boy was sacrificed. Out of grief, the father “cloned” a robot with the memory and appearance of his son, in the hope of replacing his son. Soon he found that Astro Boy is just another robot who can’t replace his son. He is too perfect to be true. Devastated, he chases his ‘son’ away from home. Astro Boy was heartbroken.

Astro Boy is powered by blue energy. This is highly limited and sought after by the government against warfare. Hence, Astro Boy is being hunted down and the father is supposed to remove the blue energy from Astro Boy, which literally means ending his life!

The story ended on a happy note. Astro Boy found his purpose in life (to save the world) and the father finally recognized Astro Boy as his son.

One thing I learnt from this show: Many times we tend to make impulsive decisions that we may regret later. Yet the decision actually creates an impact on others, which we must be responsible for. This really serves as a reminder to think twice and weigh the consequences before we act.

Overall, I think it’s a nice show worth watching. Good computer graphic with storyline. Touching scenes reflecting struggle between father-child relationships. I would give it 4 stars out of 5.

In Advocators, we have a tradition to celebrate each and every student and staff birthday.
It may be an advance or belated celebration.

These are just some of the happy moments to share with you.

Some people may wonder, why do we bother to do so?

Well, Advocators is just like a big family. Of course everyone who is in this family matters.
That is why we say we are MORE THAN just tuition.

As the family members are increasing, the “house” has to expand too.

I would like to take this opportunity to inform everyone that we have established another outlet – AdvoWorld at 175B Goldhill Center.

These are some pictures of the work-in-progress.

Voila! The New AdvoWorld is born!!!
