Preview Screening of The Host

Image
I was invited to ‘The Host’ Preview Screening by Sweetie, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from this movie, but to my surprise, I was pretty impressed by the film though I am not a Twilight fan and have not read the novels before… I always feel that Twilight novels are meant for teenagers as they focus a lot on teenagers, but I really like the movie, The Host , and I will definitely recommend this movie to all ages.   --- Posters of The Host---     'The Host' is a story about the survival of love and the human spirit in times of war.

Au Chocolat is a playground for chocolates, confections and savoury treats for all-age levels of people, and it is located at the Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands .     The setting is very whimsical and has a French-like vintage style.     Au Chocolat is the first made Singapore French-inspired concept store with a bistro dining area and a huge retail area with a wide selection of chocolate and candy or simply shop for souvenirs.   While buffering out time for Le Noir, Baby and I went over to get our sweet desire fix, and we ordered a single scoop of Pistachio Gelato , Though it is just only a scoop, but it is enough for both of us… The serving was pretty generous and that makes it a good thing for us. The damage was SGD5.50 for a scoop of gelato, oh well, and I do understand where they are coming from for such a hefty price to pay for a single scoop due to the prestigious location and high rental. Though the service was generally ...
