Hollywood Dinos 2009-2010

Hollywood Dinos Coming To Jurong Bird Park This December

 

The Live Experience

Tickets to the Hollywood Dinos Event happening at Jurong Bird Park from 12 December 2009 right up to 21st February 2010 sets to be the hottest tickets in town.

October 1, 2009, Singapore – More than just a visual spectacle, the Hollywood Dinos Event is entertaining, story-driven and educational. Using state-of-the art technology in animatronics and engineering, thelife-size dinosaurs exhibits are able to move, growl blink their eyes and yes, even walking and dancing. The event will bring Hollywood movie sets to visitors that allow visitors to interact to be part of the life in the long lost world of dinosaurs.

The exhibition will discover and create awareness of prehistoric life for both the young and old by making learning both fun and entertaining. Most of the dinosaur species are new exhibits never before been displayed in previous dinosaur events done in Singapore.

Unlike all other dinosaur exhibition events previously shown in Singapore, the “Hollywood Dinos” (as the name suggests) has a touch of Hollywood. The event is styled after “Hollywood” movie sets with play actors. There is the feature attraction of the event, created for the adventurous and those who dare! Please be warned that the event organizers have requested for St. John Ambulance Brigade on standby.

Imagine visitors walking onto movie-sets to play their part of the story. Visitors are lead into the event by tour guides. Faced with imminent danger and intense fear, visitors have to find their way out to survive the biggest adventure of their lives.

Heart-pounding music scores, lighting and special effects made possible by high-tech audio, visual and special effects equipment found only in movies will bring true excitement “live”. In reality backdrops, play actors and walking dinosaurs will provide the suspense and action when you least expect.

The Hollywood Dinos brand will be endorsed by a local celebrity, none other than Edmund, Chen Zhicai. Having made his acting debut 20 years ago, Edmund has consistently won Mediacorp’s Most Popular Artiste Award for many years running and voted Best Male artiste by Singapore viewers. Finishing his prior role in Street Fighter Hollywood Movie as Xiang, Chun Li’s father, the latter will now undertake the role of (T) Rex Lee – a paleontologist who loves working with dinosaurs.

“Dinosaur” veteran Mr. Jared Chew, Creative Director of Hollywood Dinos Event, is set to rumble all Asia in the upcoming years to come. The man reveals that his next event location in 2010 would be in Shanghai, China.

Tickets for the upcoming Hollywood Dinos Event will be made available to the public at road-shows marketed at selected locations and over the counter during the event.

Tickets are available now: Adults at $13, Senior citizens at $11, Students at $11 and Children at $9. For more information on ticketing please call the Hollywood Dinos Ticket Sales Hotline 6253 3959.

Personal Development

leave a comment »

I came across this wonderful Personal Development Website and would love to share it in my blog, check out :- http://www.janusgyan.weebly.com.index.html
Here is one of the blogs written by its owner, Janus :-
Failure is at worst a mixed blessing.

It hurts, but can pay off in the form of learning and growth and wisdom. Some psychologists, argue that adversity, setbacks, and even trauma may actually be necessary for people to be happy, successful, and fulfilled. It’s actually been coined “Post-traumatic –growth”.

I love life because it is indeed a special game where understanding it is crucial. I’ve been at points in my life where I’ve started businesses that didn’t go as well as I would of liked; but thanks to those experiences I’ve been led in a direction in terms of personal growth and business success that is well worth it.  Keep on keeping on my good friends.

Warmly
Janus Gyan

Nurturing Creative Children

with one comment

GREATEST INVENTION IN THE WORLD IS THE MIND OF A CHILD” ~ Thomas Edison
Every child is a creative being. The challenge we have as parents, teachers and caregivers is to tap that creativity and maximize a child’s potential.

This is no small responsibility. The closer we come to nurturing that creativity in our children the greater the potential for raising a global network of happy adults.

Once children reach the age where they are launched into the world via public education they are suddenly burdened with the pressure to succeed.

Parents and teachers alike turn their focus on getting good grades rather than succeeding as a human being. This focus on academic excellence is extremely damaging to children.

Of course, academics are important. But not important enough to bring tremendous pressure to bear on our children. Especially when the cost affects the goal of happy, well-rounded kids.

Parents would never intentionally apply harmful behaviors upon their children. Usually the parent is following the mold begun by his or her own parents, thereby creating a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Is academic success the most important element to a child’s development? Or, is it better to expose children to an environment where children are allowed to play and explore the world around them?

How can you introduce the element of creativity to your child-rearing process? Glad you asked. “Nurturing Creative Children” is the perfect guide to helping you identify and develop creativity in your child.

If you have a child with learning challenges the information on high achievers with learning problems is a must read.

Unless you are willing to turn your children over to the “community” to raise, having a copy of “Nurturing Creative Children” is an absolute must for your home library.
