Jackie Chan in MR NICE GUY - Cathay Pacific AIR TICKETS to HONG KONG

Back in 1997, I won a first prize from this e-zine ( Entertainment news on cd-rom )

which was rather popular at that time. Instead of printed materials, the folder came with a Cd-Rom which contains the latest news, gossip, trailers and contests. One of the contest on that issue was from the movie Mr Nice Guy, starred by our famous Jackie Chan. The 1st prize in that contest was a pair of air tickets sponsored by the airliner cathay pacific from Singapore to Hong Kong. 

I remember  the cost  for One air ticket at the time was roughly about Four hundred sing dollars

After waiting in vain for weeks for the prize sponsor to contact me, I approached the publisher (which was SPH)  to assist me in contacting them.  I received a call from cathay pacific after a few days and the lady who was on the other line called me had a very bad attitude and told me that the person in charge of the promotion had already resigned and she did not know anything about this. 

How could this be possible ?!  I insisted on her to find out what happened and to contact me if there is any news and updates but in the end, no call came and despite me making calls after calls to her she was always not around.  Obviously she was avoiding me.  I cannot imagine that Cathay pacific , being one of the largest airliner in the world would somehow forfeited me . Such disappointment. 

In the end, I gave up contacting her and to my surprise ,  a lady who was from the publisher Wiz

(she was very apologetic) knew about this and offered me movie posters, movie stuffs and premiums as a compensation.  I really appreciate her kind gestures. Thanks alot :)

As for cathay pacific......baaaaahhhh 

I would prefer Singapore Airlines anytime .

Mission Impossible iii Gala Premiere

This a Gala Premiere Invitation ticket to the movie Mission Impossible 3.  It was only given to

certain specific customers who bought the then popular handphone Nokia set. Enjoyed the party very much as there were free flow of snacks and drinks. Why can't we have more of this nowadays.  Maybe because more and more people are watching movies online rather than going to the cinemas and the distributor therefore did not want to incur additional promotional costs.  For me, I'm old school. No doubt I watched a lot of movies online but those are shows which I already watched in cinemas. The experience is just different.  

This time, Ethan Hunt ( Tom Cuise ) most deadly enemy, arms dealer Owen Davian kidnapped his wife to Shanghai and blackmailed Ethan to steal a powerul weapon. I remembered before this movie was shown, it created quite an uproar in China as  parts of the pics portrayed  some sort of  "backward country".  Hence the movie was ordered to " put on hold " and as a result  delayed for months.

Mission Impossible Limited Edition Metal Pin

Do you still remember the opening music score from the movie

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE ????   One of the classics of all time and so is the movie.

Released in 1996, this movie starred Tom Cruise as an agent who was framed after his colleagues were killed in a mission and tried all means to get the real culprit and clear his name. Nothing much needs to be said as I think most of you have watched the show.

What I got here is a MI pin which came with the CD soundtract I bought at that time. Cant really find the CD now thou ( guess it's lying somewhere with other CDs ) but the most important thing is the pin right.

Wallace & Gromit in the Curse of the were-rabbit (2005) magnetic holder

I have no idea where in the world I got this from. Probably it comes free with the tickets bought when I went for the movie. Anyway, it's magnetic and I think the purpose of it is to "clip something". lol   Btw, I cannot really remember what the movie is about although I do remember I like it alot.  

Constantine ( 2005 ) Candles and Shirt

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

Keanu Reeves 
stars as a supernatural detective John Constantine, who has literally been to Hell and back teams up with Angela Dodson (a detective ) to solve the mysterious suicide of her twin sister. ... In the world of Demons and Angels.  What you see on the right is a Black colour L/S Tee from the movie. Hmmm, I wonder if anyone would dare to wear this outside their house.  Beside the shirt, on the left is this elegant pair of candles, a red and a black colour scent candles which I won from a magazine contest. Oh ya,, the prize comes with the little gold plated beetle tie clip as well. 

KING KONG (2005) Multi colours Watch

Directed by Academy Award winning director Peter Jackson (LOTR), this spectacular movie with solid special effects and heartpounding actions is really a joy to watch and at the same time it brings back memories of the 1976 version.

Back then of course the effects cannot be compared but still it's a classic of it's own.

I got these cute little digi watches from a joint promotion between Kellog's and Universal Studio's back then when the movie hit shores.

Surprisingly the batteries are still working and "clock's ticking" after almost 4 years :)

Charlie Angels 2 (FULL THROTTLE) Motor Bike

Got this bike when the dvd's hit the stores promoting
the movie.

What more can I say, Hot Bods and Nice bike.

This summer, the Angels are back.......
with me riding this beautiful bike and exploring
the coast. Whooooooo.......the 4 of us : )

Hmmmm, now let me think how to cramp the FOUR
of us onto the bike.

ENJOY
