The Heroine of My Life - Teaser to Disney • Pixar’s BRAVE

Hi Huneybees,

I am so excited for the upcoming movie by Disney • Pixar -  BRAVE! It's such a first in animation to talk about the Scottish and their traditions and cultures. The female lead character, Merida (voice of Kelly Macdonald), with her long curly orange hair, reminds a ton of the heroine in my life. 

This was taken 2 years back. I hardly see her....

She's non-other than my elder sister! We had our differences, but we had tons of fun times too! My sister is my very own heroine and I look up to her. Since young, she's been independent and when she went overseas to further her studies, I totally admired her bravery. Without anyone, she spread her wings in Australia doing her Bachelor and Masters degrees. Over a span of 5 years, with my parents visiting her just twice, she passed with flying colours and I could never imagine myself overseas with no family!


Her curly hair is super similar to Merida and that's why she's always spotting short hair styles to tame to the curls. Everyone says we look alike but in character wise, she's much stronger than me. That's why everytime I had problems I always consult her and look to her for solutions. From the trouble I had from my job, even till my wedding day, she's been there helping me and making y life easy, so that I can be the "pampered princess" at home. Hehehee....

Now, she owns her own production company in Beijing, China, living there all alone and there again her bravery for being in a foreign country and making a living out there. She's very successful there and I'm really happy for her. Jia you Sis!

Let's watch the trailer to BRAVE and hang on for its launch on the 8th August 2012!

[Giveaway Closed] Trying Escaping from the Werewolf Village!

Hi Huneybees,

The Real Escape Game (played by young working adults from all walks of life in Japan, China, Taiwan and San Francisco) is an interactive live game event that requires players to cooperate with team mates and use their combined detective skills to solve multiple mysteries in order to escape from a locked room within a limited time. And this time they are back with the second edition with a new theme: Escape from the Werewolf Village!



The venue will be reimagined as a mysterious village where werewolves have been known to attack people by night. As villagers disappear one by one, players must work together, use their deductive skills and gather clues to escape before the werewolves strike again!

History of the Real Escape Game

The Real Escape Game was first played in Tokyo in 2007, and since then, more than 100,000 participants have played in multiple cities across Japan, China, Taiwan, United States and Singapore. Over 2,300 sessions have been staged to-date with as many as 1,000 participants taking part simultaneously. The Game was recently played by several hundred participants at massive arena venues including the Tokyo Dome and the city's Jingu Baseball Stadium. This upcoming Singapore session at *SCAPE Warehouse will be the second time “The Real Escape Game,” has been played in Singapore.

The first Real Escape Game in Singapore was held earlier this year from 27-29th January, at Chijmes Hall, titled “Escape from the Mysterious Cathedral”. Around 800 players, mainly young working adults, from all walks of life came to experience the thrill of solving the puzzles in teams and breaking free. A total of 30 teams managed to escape, with the fastest team breaking out in around 40 minutes. The game has drawn enthusiastic response from various players.

The Real Escape Game is the brainchild of Mr. Takao Kato, founder of the Kyoto-based publishing company, SCRAP. The concept was born out of a conversation with a girl who was hooked on online “Escape the Room” games. Kato added on a strong narrative element to the challenges, explaining that “as a kid, I always wanted to ‘live in the story’, survive the adventure, solve the mystery, and be a hero like the characters in books I loved as a child. The Real Escape Game is an opportunity to make these dreams come true”.

 
The Real Escape Game is often staged in eclectic settings ranging from small theatres to large sporting arenas to cathedrals. Come meet new friends and try out the latest live game phenomenon from Japan with this fun event happening at the *SCAPE Warehouse this May!
