Podcast review of Star Wars: The Force Awakens with special guests Nur Iskandar and Pranika Lama

The Force Awakens: (This is not a movie review). My oh my.. I never thought the hype will be this huge. Forget The Avengers: Age of Ultron or Jurassic World. No movie brand can come close to Star Wars in terms of marketing and presence. It’s just everywhere and definitely the word of mouth on the hype just snowballed.

Now the question is will it eclipsed the box office record of Jurassic World in its opening weekend? This is the only movie that stands a chance to reach that milestone and it also remains to be seen if it has the legs to reach the $600 million mark for US box office earnings. Movie analyst has predicted that The Force Awakens will reach in the region of USD 230 million in its first weekend. Let’s hope that it will reach that milestone. I can’t wait to see the results.

Will Brunei also enjoy great success in the box office? From the looks of it, it might just have the legs to do so since it’s the holiday season. However, it could be affected by the fact that some are traveling abroad and there are most likely to catch it overseas.

I’m hoping to catch it on IMAX theatres by next week or so. After 30 plus years, you can really feel that Force has really awakened.

We had the privilege to catch Star Wars: The Force Awakens at The Mall Cineplex last Wednesday midnight

Ticket prices at The Mall Cineplex. Thu-Fri – Before 6:30pm $5/$3.50 After 6:30pm – $7, Sat – Before 6:30pm $6/$4 After 6:30pm – $8, Sun – $7/$4, Mon-Wed – Before 6:30pm $4/$3 After 6:30pm – $6

The Darth Vader from New Era I bought from The Cap City and the 3D glasses of Stormtroopers

They had a real scale version of the X-Wing fighter at the Mall of Asia, Manila. The Star Wars fever was all over Manila. I ended up buying a few t-shirts along the way.

A great read from TIME magazine on Star Wars

My favourite notepad so far.

Adib Noor testing out the Tomato KidZ bed

Do you want something that’s durable, lasting when it comes to children’s furniture? Now you can impressed your kids/children with Tomato KidZ concept furniture. The biggest winner here will be the parents and their children if they own a bed from Tomato KidZ.

For your info, Tomato KidZ is a revolutionary concept in children’s furniture and best thing is you can combine the designs to cater the demands of the children nowadays. Tomato KidZ is a growing brand from Malaysia and the idea came about where the brand originally started to provide quality furniture for the European market then slowly in Australia and in the US. Their biggest milestone was when Tomato KidZ were being commissioned by Walt Disney, Marvel and Hello Kitty. Awesome!!

It’s a good thing now that Tomato KidZ is expanding its business regionally and now we have one in Brunei, located at Regent Square 2, Kiulap.

When you pay a visit to their showroom, you can check out the craftsmanship on Tomato KidZ furniture. You will know where your money is spent/invested in. It’s safe, it’s sturdy and it’s quite versatile as well.

Safety is not compromised even when it comes to their ergonomic designs. Tomato KidZ ranked safety as one of their highest core values for the benefit of parents and their children. For example, with the bunk bed, they set the space between the upper and lower bunk which is carefully measured to prevent kids from knocking their heads.

Tomato KidZ also provides a study working station for kids and as they grow older, they are still able to make use of the study station. You can adjust the surface level of the desk especially when kids grow taller in the next few years. Hence the so called Intelligent Desk is very, very practical for children.

As for the warranty, the bedding parts comes with a 1 year warranty where as the Intelligent range such as the ergonomics study desk and chair and spare parts come up to a 10 year warranty. Awesome!!

You can visit their Facebook Page here for updates or pay a visit to their showroom at Unit D1, Ground Floor Block D, Regent Square 2. You can also contact them through +673 8187128.

Now a doll house can be part of your bed
