MALEFICENT

It was almost like so long ago since I watched this movie.

Produced by Angelina Jolie and starring her and her daughter, it was an interesting adaptation of the sleeping beauty fairy tale until I realized it was just a movie about her magnificence, not maleficence. She changed the notion of how a fairy looks like and eventually, the ending turned out different from what we used to know.

So did I enjoy it? Yes, the part where her wings were cut off by her lover and she woke up in extreme agony and howled in pain was the best, in my most humble opinion.

a black fairy with horns anyone?

her cheekbones were so high it could slice an apple into two

the wings that were so a part of her

SINGAPORE GARDEN FESTIVAL 12 PART 1

These are snapshots of some of the displays at this year's Singapore Garden Festival (SGF) 12. Just look at the paper cutouts of the Supertrees, Singapore Flyer, temple etc.

In a different display, the vendor uses lots of Flame Lily (scientific name: Gloriosa superba) to do up the stall. Then there was an interesting setup with 3 trees, as if they were rubber seeds germinating from a seed. There was also a north pole, complete an igloo and arctic aurora in the form of balloons.
