Today I have watched two movies, sort of a movie marathon but I am not gonna do a review about the other movie.
The movies I watched today were Annabelle and Dracula untold.
Here's Dracula untold, a new series of 2014. There have been so many movies out there about Dracula with their own rendition of Dracula. This movie shows a very devoted family man who is known as the impaler as he impales his enemies on spears like they are some kebabs.
In order to save his family, he makes the ultimate sacrifice. Drink dracula's blood and resist the temptation of drinking human blood for three days or drink human blood and become Dracula for all of eternity.
It was quite predictable for me as to why he didn't manage to resist the temptation for three days which seems like quite an easy task. His wife was the main driving factor of course.
This movie is extremely short and I wished it was a little longer. I guess it was kind of rushed. Become Dracula, war, win and the end. But come on, how can resist such a good looking Dracula. Luke Evans took my breathe away. Such a good looking individual and he did not fail to deliver. Great actor!
Romance, a little gore and lots of action. Not quite a bad movie. I'll rate this movie a 4/5.

Universal studios: horror nights 4
Hi blog buddies, I just got home from a awesome night at universal studios. That's right, I went for Halloween horror nights ~
I already went last year on the 2th of November. It was probably the second last day and the crowd was definitely more than the crowd of today's.
Since now is already past midnight, by today I meant 4th November. My horror buddies for the day are Elisca, Cassandra, Wei Tian and Clement.
We decided to meet up for a quick dinner and head over to queue. Surprisingly when we got there, the queue was not as bad as last year's. In fact, we thought the entrance was located elsewhere since there wasn't much people to begin with. Last year, we ran to the haunted houses but this year running was not even necessary.
This year's theme is demoncracy. Do correct me if I got it wrong. The opening act was exactly like what was on the trailer, the minister of evil greeting us live on stage.
As usual, we all were let in a little earlier (it starts at 7.30pm). There is a holding area with a huge stage in the center where all patrons will gather and wait to for the Halloween horror nights to commence. With loud music and lights, it gets your heart pumping and all excited for what's coming.
The haunted houses and scare zones are at the same locations as last year's. Maybe 1-2 slightly different but it wasn't much of a difference.
Last year, there were 3 haunted houses and scare zones. This year, there are 4 haunted house and scare zones.
Another surprising thing was that there were a lot of kids this time. Some with their friends and some with their parents. Wow!
Quoted from RWS website, "From city centres to schools and army barracks, demons will
be awakened, clowns and fairy tales will turn loony, and urban legends will come alive. Guests will
have nowhere to hide as the Minister of Evil unleashes ‘Demoncracy’..."
The haunted houses of the fourth season are jack's 3-dementia, mati camp, jing's revenge and the L.A.B.
My overall thoughts are that these haunted houses aren't that scary. But the best of all would be jack's 3 dementia which is based on killer clowns etc.. We were given 3D glasses and the whole experience with the colours and the lighting were out of this world. The killer clowns were in bright neon colours (masks, costumes) and the glasses made it like as though we were in some sort of creepy carnival. There was one part where we had to cross a bridge that was spinning and the background was spinning along with it. This part really got to me; I was so dizzy that I had to hold onto the railings. It is probably due to the glasses man, whole new experience. I'll rate this particular haunted house a 4/5.
The scare zones weren't that scary this year. It was more like a selfie zone where everyone was stopping these "demons" to take pictures. But maybe that is the purpose of these scare zones right? Haha oh well.
We finished everything including the day rides about 12? We managed to catch the performance as well.
if you just want to have a fun time to scream and laugh with your buddies, this is the place to visit. Students get it at 50 bucks per pax. You can get all these information on their website.
Tips for first timers: do get a map before entering. This will give you a upper hand as you can plan your route and know which are the must see attractions and highlights. Also, be there by 6-6.30 because you'll be able to enter soon after.

NOM - Bistro & Bakery
NOM which stands for no other meaning has a Facebook page which enables you to check if they will be open or reserved for a private booking. They are very popular for parties and private events. The last time I was there, it was booked for a kid's birthday party.
You can check out their customised cakes on their Facebook page. They also have an Instagram page and Twitter page; @noothermeaning
After taking the trouble to head down to the café and being disappointed, I gave a direct message to NOM through Facebook asking if they were open to public today. And I received an almost immediate response.
I've been dying to try out this café just around my house. It isn't that near but still near enough. I heard that their rainbow cakes are too die for. The cakes comes in 3 flavours; chocolate, salted caramel and Oreo. However, the cakes available today are Oreo and salted caramel.
Their menu is quite extensive. From soups, salads, thin crust pizzas, mains and to all-day breakfasts. There is even a weekend brunch set. Do take note of the timing though.
The pizza was really yummy. Even the ice blended drinks were really good. The names were so interesting. Vanilla pops, coffee pops and so on.

I tried the ultimate nom burger which was totally delicious. It was a pity that the shepherd's pie and churros weren't available. The burger was tasty, the patty was grilled nicely with a little tint of redness.
We also ordered the Ham & Cheese pizza. All their pizzas are thin crust. You must make sure to eat this hot. The mozzarella cheese will make your eyes go gaga. It was like a pizza hut commercial playing live.
I would really love to go back and try more of their food. The atmosphere was quiet even though there were heaps of people. One issue though, I believe that they have a lack of staff. There weren't enough waiters and waitresses to go around. There was just one waitress who had to serve the food, take orders. One cashier who also sends food over time to time.
From the moment we stepped into NOM, I did not know if it was self serviced or not. Because we weren't given the menu and there were lots of people at the cashier. After about 5-7 minutes, we were then given the menu.
Now for the awaited rainbow cake. I tried the oero flavoured one. The colours were vibrant. Probably one of the prettiest and most photogenic one around. However, it didn't taste as good as it looks. It really is an attractive piece of cake, but it just wasn't to my liking. I guess it was the Oreo cream? The cake wasn't dense but it was a little dry. After finishing this lovely cake, I was so thirsty. But I have to agree that it is much more tastier than the other rainbow cakes around.
My overall rating for this café is a 4/5.
