Project WHEE!




            Hi lovelies! I've got a week long break currently and I've got all the time I need for writing more on my blog here. Recently my mother and I came across a new project called WHEE! project and we tried our best to do more research on this project.

           This project amazed me. It selects the most suitable candidates and fly them over to Bario, Sarawak to teach some villagers there basic English. Having the minimal knowledge of basic English, the villagers are able to improve their lifestyle by getting extra income through guiding some tourists. It is such an amazing opportunity for us young adults to make an impact on the villagers at Bario.

           The WHEE! project was fairly interesting and I signed up for it immediately. The paper work for registration was simple and easy to fill up. After filling up the whole form, my mouse hovered over the 'send' button and I felt nervous. Should I do this? Am I enough to fulfill all the criteria of the project? Will I be able to contribute, even just a little bit? The answer was a little clouded at first, but after looking at it from different perspectives, the answer was a solid yes. The 'send' button was clicked on, all was up to the organisers now.

           I definitely am looking forward to having this experience in my life. I want to be able to take an actual look at the rural areas that are a total contrast to my current life and put myself into their shoes. I bet the people there are absolutely friendly and caring, and that made me want to get to know them more. I'll make sure to update you all if I do get selected!

           That's all for now, friends! Comment down below if you want to get to know about this project even more and I'll try my best to help you out! See you soon.

 Love,

Insurgent Movie Review!

          Hi lovelies! I'm sorry I haven't been writing in a while. I was quite busy with school and I've just finished my exam so huzzah!

          Anyway, on to the movie review. Can I just say, the Divergent series are my absolute favorite, hands down. After reading the whole series, I went and watched the Divergent movie. It.blew.my. mind. I legit sat there and was trying to comprehend how amazing the movie was. Neil Burger did a GREAT job on directing the movie.

          Being THAT amazed by Divergent, I did have quite a high expectation for Insurgent. I was so excited for Insurgent. I went into the theater and was shaking from excitement (I don't know..). Before the movie started my head was just flowing with the plot and my undying love for the casts.

         Okay friends, here comes the spoilers. If you have yet to watch the movie, then please do not continue reading and do come back after you've finished watching the movie. Well, unless you like my writing so much you just want to read what I've got to say (yeah right). Hey, let me have some self-esteem.

         Let's begin, shall we. I liked the movie. I just didn't fall in love with it like I did with Divergent.
I was really confused when I came out from the theaters. I just couldn't wrap my head around the idea of the movie. They've changed so much of the book and left out a few major parts, which was disappointing.

         I've really liked the beginning of Insurgent. The anger Tris had when Peter insulted her and the way they shot the fight between Tris and Peter. Gosh. The start of the movie portrayed Amity very well. But I felt like they didn't carry out the reason of Tris cutting her hair short quite well. Tris also had a major fear of using the guns in this book but she was using the gun throughout the whole movie? Her fear was so important in the book and it brought up so many other issues. The movie did not do well on that.

         The movie was all about Jeanine wanting to get 'The Box' open but I don't seem to recall the presence of 'The Box' in the book.. If it did, then I'm even more confused haha. The movie did a lot of special effect which was nice but it felt a little bit over-done.

         I liked the part when Tris was announced dead and Tobias got furious. The way Peter explained to Four about what happened injected a dose of fun into the movie and lightened the mood a little. That scene showed how much Tobias cared about Tris and gosh I love them. That scene was touching. Theo played the character Tobias really well. I mean, who doesn't gawk over Theo James?!

       I would've liked it better if they stressed on the hatred Christina felt towards Tris after she found out Tris killed Will. It broke their friendship and the movie did not show that at all. That scene was very messily pushed away and correct me if I'm wrong, Christina forgave Tris in Insurgent, right? Or was it in Allegiant? I'm not too sure. If that was in Insurgent, gosh that was such a huge plot they missed out.

       I just realised that if I told you everything I felt about Insurgent, you couldn't even finsih reading this post. Hm. Well comment down below of what you thought of Insurgent. I would LOVE to hear what you all thought about Insurgent. Until next time!

Love,
Hui Wen
