Of kuih raya, buffets and everything in between
Yes, Hari Raya is just round the corner and this is when the frenzy of doing Raya shopping overtakes Raya itself. I was in the heart of K.L. just to catch a glimpse of all the craziness that was a ritual with every major celebration in this country.
The roads leading to K.L. were crammed because

The Last Airbender - Visual Treat!
If I mention the word ‘Avatar’ in passing, I am sure you would imagine blue creatures jumping from one tree branch to another.
I love THAT Avatar, but I’m not here to talk about the inhabitants of Planet Pandora.
It is sad that not many people recognise that Avatar was originally the name used for a cartoon

How to Train Your Dragon
I don’t really fancy 3D animated cartoons but made an exception for this 3D movie called How to Train your Dragon as it had received good reviews.
Hiccup trying to tame Toothless
Hiccup, a little Viking boy, is physically different from the other Vikings. His body resembles a fish bone and often becomes the laughing stock of the other Viking boys.
His Vikings’ village is always attacked by dragons for food. One night while the whole village was fighting with dragons, Hiccup sneaked out and he managed to shoot down a dragon called Night Fury. Night Fury is considered one of the most dangerous dragons and cannot be defeated. Night Fury became his pet, and was named Toothless.
Toothless is indeed very cute with big green eyes that show its emotions - it stares when Hiccup approaches, smiles when Hiccup feeds it and grows curious eyes when Hiccup draws in the sand. It makes me want to have a dragon for a pet.
Hiccup with his pet, Toothless
This 3D animated movie has a comedic effect, and the presence of a well-designed dragon makes the movie not so boring. The most touching part is the scene where Toothless disregards its safety to save Hiccup from crashing to the ground during a battle with a giant dragon with no chance of winning.
I rank this movie four stars. Even though it is just an animated cartoon, Hiccup’s character earnestly portrays the value that nothing is impossible!
