Movie: How To Train Your Dragon 2

It was one of my favourite when the first movie came out. And with the second movie, it actually solidified itself on the top of my favourite list.

I am talking about "How to train your dragon 2". It got one of the best mix of humour, action and drama in it and I simply love it.

By now, many of you would have read or heard about the tragic loss of... wait, I won't spoil it for you if you don't know yet.

Hiccup has grown into a very handsome young man and Astrid is very beautiful too. Both of them has become a couple at the end of the first movie.


In this movie, Berk has make peace with the dragons and they move in and live amongst the villagers as working animals and companion. Having come of age, he is being pressured by his father to succeed him as chieftain but Hiccup is not sure if he is ready for the responsibility, and sort of runaway.

After many turns of events, Hiccup cross path with another dragon rider who has a very strong connection with him. On the other end, the villain, Drago Bludvist raise a dragon army with the intention of conquering the world. And the person that could stop him is no other than Hiccup and his fateful dragon, Toothless, who has grown larger and more powerful.



The twisted was totally unexpected but it is a happy ending in the end.

Android App: Plants vs Zombies 2: It's About Time

Plants vs Zombies 2: It's About Time is a tower defense video game and is the sequel to Plants vs Zombie.


This time around, we would be fighting zombies not just in the present (tutorial) but also in our history (Ancient Egypt, Pirate Seas and Wild West) for Crazy Dave has a way of getting what he want, which is to eat a particularly delicious taco but somehow things got out of hand. There has been a hint of a level titled "Far Future".


Plants vs Zombies 2 would continue its original gameplay with the zombies advancing from the screen right along 5 rows and we would place plants of varying abilities to fend them off.


The game has been labeled as Freemium but that does not means that you would have to pay (read cooldown time, etc) to get to the next level. In fact, the freemium is just an extra whereby we could complete the game without any purchase.




Some of the plants in Plant vs Zombies would only be available via purchase but that does not mean that they are needed in this new game. New plants are available to take over the task of defense and they pack quite a punch.


All in all, the game feel refreshing and yet, familiar. It is definitely suitalble for anyone who want to have a good time.

Music: Red - Taylor Swift

For those who knows me would know that I have always been a fan of Taylor Swift. I was sold the first time I heard the song "Teardrops on my Guitar", "Love Song", "Our Song" and "You belong to me", all from her first album.

Since then, I have been following her progress and was happy to hear that her fourth studio album, RED, would be coming out soon. I have been following her on FB and her own countdown got me very excited.

After RED came out, I couldn't wait to get a copy of it. And now, after listening to it for several times, I am ready to tell you what I think about it. IT IS GREAT!!!


RED is very different from her other previous album as this time, she is experimenting with alot of other music style/genre. She is trying pop, alternative and rock to give her fans a different feeling. While some may said that she missed her target, I would still said she managed to nail most of them.

I loves "State of Grace", "Red", "Treacherous", "I knew you were trouble", "Stay Stay Stay", "The Last Time", "Starlight" and "Begin Again", with my personal favourite being "Stay Stay Stay". Said to be her "dairy" for her past two years (mostly about her love life), she is really telling us alot of what has happened in her life and I guess that is what makes her dear to each and every one of us.

RED also proves that she is running her own show and she is in charge of determining her way of music.

Here is a list of the songs in RED:

  1. State of Grace
  2. Red
  3. Treacherous
  4. I Knew You Were Trouble
  5. All Too Well
  6. 22
  7. I Almost Do
  8. We Are Never Ever Getting Together
  9. Stay Stay Stay
  10. The Last Time (Feat. Gary Lightbody)
  11. Holy Ground
  12. Sad Beautiful Tragic
  13. The Lucky One
  14. Everything Has Changed (Feat. Ed Sheeran)
  15. Starlight
  16. Begin Again
  17. The Moment I Knew
  18. Come Back... Be Here
  19. Girl At Home
Personally, I think "22" and "The Lucky One" are the misses in RED but this is just my opinion. If you have listened to the album and you think differently, do drop a comment here... Thanks.
