Great thanks to Cineleisure and Cathay for the complimentary tickets!

So this is basically a story of the well known myth, Hercules.

It was actually pretty interesting for me cause I always knew of the name Hercules.

And I know he's a super strong guy and such.

But I never knew that he was actually a demi-god too!

He's actually the son of Hera (the queen) and Zeus.

ZEUS!!!

That makes him the biggest demi-god of all the others!!

And why was he named Hercules?

It actually means Glory of Hera in Greek.

The movie was pretty much actioned packed and exciting.

Though it was a little draggy in the start and the visual effects kind of sucked.

But nonetheless, it was still a great movie of my childhood legendary myth character!

AND I REALLY LOVE THE FEMALE LEAD, SO PRETTY!!

This is HEBE (not the one from S.H.E, lol), lover of Hercules!

Just a brief intro about Hercules movie.

The King (Hercules' step father) was a really possessive and unreasonable dude that used violence to get what he wants and such, so her wife (Hera), the Queen, sought help from the Gods. 

And *coughs* made love with Zeus *coughs* and had Hercules which had the strength to literally own the King and his whole army. However he didn't know/believe of his identity in the start, so he went through quite a bit of hardship and etc set up by the King to sabotage his death (due to jealousy).

Ok, no more spoilers.

GO WATCH IT NOW.

Cathay's Platinum Movie Suite

Hi guys!!

As usual, if you've been following my twitter (@noellemikazuki),

you'd have known I'VE BEEN TO THE CATHAY'S PLATINUM MOVIE SUITE for a movie this morning (:

Today's the official launch of the Cathay's platinum movie suite!!

And as a "fan" of Cathay, how could I miss out, right!!

PICTURES

Hungry Grumpy Me!!

At the lounge!!

Free iPad usage, for net surfing only though.

No apps to play with! They should totally download Jubeats!!

Our ticket holder!

THOR!!

Super nice movie, might blog about it in the next post!!

or not. HAHA.

Toilet!!

Damn nice! Esp the lighting!!

Very good for camwhoring, hohoho!!

Hehe, love this light!!

And here comes my platinum card (:

Headed down to Ben & Jerrys' after.

Phish Food!!

and guess why is it called Phish Food??

B'cause there's FISHES!! (Phish-es)

Free Starbucks Frappé.

Tired babylove <3

Okay, so here's the review of Cathay's Platinum Movie Suite.

Compared to GV's Gold Class,

1. Cathay DO NOT have complimentary drinks out at the lounge.

Which was really sad. Everything's chargeable!!

GV had free snacks and drinks while in the lounge!!

2. Cathay's service wasn't as pro efficient as GV's.

Bf pressed the service button thrice in the movie theater but NO ONE came to our service even though we waited super long. Ended up going out to ask them for what we needed.

GV on the other hand was really efficient. I randomly pressed that button without knowing it was the service button and before I knew it, I was attended to.

However,

1. There's entertainment in the Cathay's Platinum lounge (like iPad!!)

2. The food choice in Cathay were much more than GV's.

and it tasted 80% better than GV's!!

3. Lamps beside the seat!!

It was really convenient having the lamp by there. When the food came, at least we were not left in the dark to figure where to open and etc (like in GV). It was really useful.

4. The seats were more comfy and clean!!

Partly because it was made of leather. If it was dirtied, it could be wiped etc.

GV's was velvet and the seats were horribly dirty!! :<

So yeah, loved Cathay's Platinum more than GV's gold class! (:

However, the movie choice for the platinum suite are limited as compared to GV.

I wasn't allowed to take pictures of the movie theater itself, so
