Rhythm of The Rain

Sponsored Post

I was really lucky to have been sponsored an all expenses paid trip to Taiwan by Paktor (www.gopaktor.com) for a movie premiere earlier this month.
What made it happier was knowing that my babygirl Mel was going on this trip together with me!

Although it was a relatively short stay of 2 days 1 night in Taiwan,
it was a magical experience for me.
If you asked me,
I would never have imagined that I would one day be travelling thanks to this humble blog of mine (which regretfully I sometimes neglect due to work).



演唱:魏如昀  
作词:方文山
作曲:周杰伦

The soundtrack has got to be one of the reasons why I love the movie so much.
It's just so hauntingly beautiful,
the voice of the singer brings out the poetic lyrics amazingly.
I have been putting this on loop ever since I went for the movie premiere!
In fact,
still listening to it right now as I'm writing this blog post.

Go click on the play button above and you'll love this song as much as I do!

If you've been watching as many Taiwanese shows as I do,
you'll see a lot of familiar faces in the show!

The director and screenwriter of this movie might sound familiar to some of you...
He's none other than the famous lyricist who writes many of Jay Chou's songs (and many other famous songs as well).
He was present during the movie premiere and we got to take photos with him!
Hahaha.
Starstruck much.

Was telling Mel that it felt like dressing up for prom night!
Hehehe.

We were checked in at San Want Hotel Taipei and the location is really good!
It's located right smack in the middle of 忠孝东路 and the train station is just within a minute of walking.
Wouldn't mind staying there again for my future trips!
:)

I want to go Taiwan again next year for my holiday!
It was a pity we couldn't extend our trip this time round...
But I'll be back soon!

And one with the director 方文山 himself!
There were actually many other Taiwanese celebrities walking around but we didn't want to look like stalkers.
Hahaha.

One day don't know starstruck how many times.

Group photos with the Nuffnang bloggers at the event!
:)


Before the movie started,
they got the cast to give an interview to the Taiwanese media.
Tried to get as close as I could but as you can see in my photos,
super huge video cameras blocking my way.

Nevertheless,
close enough at least for me!
Hehe.

Hehehe my very own #celeb moment there!

Feeling extremely privileged that I'm one of the first few in the world to have watched this movie!
Plus, we got to watch it in the very same cinema as the cast of the movie!

Still very happy that I got to attend such an awesome once in a lifetime event thanks to Paktor and Nuffnang!
