Stop Cutting Trees and Save the Earth

I had the privilege the other day to watch The Lorax, which is an animation picture adapted from a children's book by Dr Suess. This was because I managed to get the tickets from omy blog club, which is a pretty cool organisation that periodically provides benefits to bloggers. If you still do not know, Dr Suess is a very famous author who came up with bestselling hits such as Green Eggs and Ham, Horton Hears a Who!, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas!. You might also have realised that Horton Hears a Who!, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas! were similarly made into movies. Horton Hears a Who! was an animation flick while How the Grinch Stole Christmas! starred Jim Carrey as the Grinch.

To give away the plot in gist, to those who have not read this Dr Suess book, the movie is about how an inventor by the name of Once-Ler, discovered this interesting place which not only had nice inhabitants like cute furry little bears and fish that can walk on land, there were also these cute coconut like trees known as the Truffula that looked a bit like fluffy candy. He managed to use the "leaves" of the Truffula to make a clothing similar to the coat and called it Tweed. Subsequently, he succumbed to greed and chopped down all the trees to cater to the masses who demanded Tweed. This was against the advice of the Lorax, a mythical spirit who descended from the heavens to speak for the trees, as the trees do not have a tongue. Some time later, the story focusses on a boy called Ted, who falls in love with a girl by the name of Audrey, and they seek to find Once Ler and bring back the trees by planting the last seed.

Sorry if the plot I gave is very concise as there are really too many things to talk about.You might ask what I thought about this movie? Well it was fantastic. I guess the most important thing is that it is a movie with a message that is we should think about our environment and not be overly consumeristic. Kids will simply love this animation with it bright colours and useful message, though the part where the inhabitants start to leave the city because of the devastation done to the environment is pretty sad.

To take a quote from the movie: Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing's going to get better. It's not. So start caring for the environment!

Get your hands on MILO Easy Cool now!

Hey there folks! My blog has been inactive for a while but I am happy to say that something has started me blogging. I received this email from omy asking for volunteers to sign up for a product review. This product is none other than the latest coolest MILO Easy Cool. What is so cool about this new MILO product is that you need not add in hot water to mix as what you usually have to do to make your own beverages. You can just add in cold water so it is really so convenient because you can forget about boiling water when you realise you have ran out when you need a sip of energy drink. Dont believe me? Well check out my product review below!

The delivery came a few days ago in a big MILO bag. Inside the bag was a shaker bottle and a packet of MILO easy cool.

So well they also included this cool shaker bottle. But really I prefer my MILO in a cup so what I did was to mix my MILO in a cup and I used cold water. Of course with the shaker bottle, you can "Pour, Shake, and Be Cool" but what I think is that as long as you are drinking MILO, you are cool!

So just how convenient is it to enjoy cold MILO now that there is 3 in 1 easy cool MILO? Well first of all I opened up the milo bag and took out one of those MILO sachets. See this?

That the cool MILO in a packet. What I did next is to add the milo into the cup....

I know it kind of looks pretty weird, like a moon or even a science experiment. But I can only say that the milo powder still looks like what it used to look like. So why is this powder so special and dissolves in cold water? I will never find out and MILO will probably will never tell me their secret.

Anyways I proceeded to add cold water. And then I used a spoon to mix the drink. Well I didnt shake it because obviously it would create a big mess.

So you can see how easy that was. I think it took less than a minute. Definitely faster than it took for me to write this blog. And check out the condensation on the glass cup. That is pure cold MILO over there. So now you know how convenient it is to enjoy cold Milo, you probably should grab some at your nearest supermarket. The MILO in that cup you see above, tasted super delicious and refreshing, and I cant wait to get my next cup.
