I'm lovin' it!


McDonalds
. Who hasn’t heard for it? It’s a place to eat for kids, youth, younger or elder. Especially for kids, the meals not only delicious but bring happiness and joy for them also. Happy Meals, more choices … more fun! A free toy can be collected through any purchased of Happy Meal. The kids will be happy when grab the toys in hand while parents are satisfy also when seeing their children happily. Every month, the toys presented will be different. It is not merely a toy already but become a valuable collection for adult also.

In May 2006, the ideas for the toys are characters of Disneyland. There are a total of 8 toys as a set which include Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Pluto, and Buzz Light- year, Snow White, Simba- the lion king and the cute Dumbo. Some simple introductions for these characters have been grabbing from the websites of Disneyland.

Mickey Mouse was debut on 18 Nov, 1928 at Steamboat Willie. His first color film is The Band Concert. Ever play as the roles for firefighter, sorcerer's apprentice, explorer, football player, and more. With an optimistic outlook on life and a boyishly enthusiastic nature, make Mickey a real winner. He’s a friendly kid-at-heart whose wholesome values and can-do spirit endear Mickey to everyone he meets. Unassuming and modest, he’s an all-around "regular" guy who remains humble despite all his reputation and success. With positive values and integrity, Mickey's the friend we'd all like to have and the person we'd like to be. Sports, spending time with Minnie and Pluto are his favorite hobbies whereas Pluto is his favorite pet.

Minnie Mouse is a typical girl with personifies the very spirit of femininity with her kind and caring manner. She elegantly moves, speaks, and acts with a wholesome girlish charm. Honest and childlike, Minnie always retains the undemanding, down-to-earth spirit of a cute country girl. She is always polite and proper, and despite her shy nature, maintains an air of independence and self-worth.
Fun-loving Minnie enjoys life to the fullest. As a performer with great ability, Minnie loves music, frequently singing or humming to herself. The role she play before are homemaker, cheerleader, damsel in distress, all-around sweetheart and singer. Her hobbies are gardening, shopping, fashion, music, dancing. Sweet and demure but not entirely naïve, she is bright, with a mind of her own. Secure and strong enough to allow her partner to shine, Minnie graciously shares the spotlight with Mickey.

Donald Duck was debut in The Wise Little Hen in 1934. He plays as sailor, boxer, prankster, hockey player, and more. He likes to joke with his friends, partaking of other cultures, spending time with Daisy and his nephews. He eagerly begins each day with the best of intentions -- expecting everything to go his way. It’s just that the rest of the world won’t cooperate. In general, Donald is a friendly and cheerful guy, but when things don’t go as planned, he often loses his temper. He has boundless determination and a pervasive persistence that borders on stubbornness. Donald cares about his family and friends and can be counted on to do the right thing. Donald’s weaknesses are our own. He’s the lovable little guy on the bottom who faces defeat but keeps right on trying.

Pluto is 100% canine -- a natural dog. He is debut in The Chain Gang in 1930. He is friendly and loyal, with a simple nature and healthy curiosity. He always plays with chipmunks and other animals, chasing balls. Fun-loving and playful, the full-grown Pluto has the spirit of a puppy. He is first and foremost a loyal companion, always there for Mickey, and eager to please. Pluto likes to be rewarded for a job well done. Though he craves approval and affection, Pluto is quite affectionate himself. Kindhearted Pluto is a “good boy” ­– a faithful and true friend with real heart.

Snow White is a beautiful young princess who, in her efforts to escape the Evil Queen, befriends with seven dwarfs. Her gentle ways and trust allow the Evil Queen to harm her. Yet her pure, lovable nature also wins her the friendship and protection of the forest animals, the seven dwarfs and of course the handsome prince.

"I'm Buzz Light year, Space Ranger, Universe Protection Unit," "To infinity ... and beyond!”, laser beam, karate-chop action, and pop-out wings, Buzz is a boy's dream come true as a toy. Buzz suffers from the delusion that he is not a toy, but the actual intrepid defender of the galaxies, sent to save the universe from the evil Emperor Zurg. Buzz makes it his sole purpose after crash-landing in Andy's room to get his spaceship repaired and continue his mission with the universe protection unit. As a result, he views his daily routine as an outer-space adventure -- until he finally learns what Andy's other toys have known all along. He is only a toy.

Dumbo is a baby circus elephant which born with huge ears. He and his mother suffer humiliation from the other elephants and from children visiting the circus. But humiliation turns to triumph as Dumbo is surprised to discover through the help of his faithful mouse friend, Timothy, which he can use his over-sized ears to fly.

Simba, a young lion cub, struggles to find his place in nature's "circle of life" and follow in the regal paw prints of his father, the great King Mufasa, after his father is killed by his treacherous uncle, Scar. Scar convinces Simba that he is responsible for his father's death and urges him to run far away from the Pride Lands and never return. A frightened and guilt-stricken Simba flees into exile, where he is befriended by a wacky but warm-hearted warthog, Pumbaa, and his freewheeling meerkat companion, Timon. Simba adopts their no worries attitude toward life, living on a diet of bugs and taking things one day at a time as Simba matures into a young adult. When his childhood friend, Nala, arrives on the scene, he is persuaded to return to the Pride Lands, which have fallen into hard times under Scar's reign, and take his rightful place as king. The wise shaman baboon, Rafiki, convinces Simba that his father's spirit lives on in him and that he must accept his responsibility, and when he returns, he manages to defeat Scar and an army of hyenas to become the Lion King.

Twinkle twinkle little stars ...

Once, I read a quote about friendship that “Good friends are like stars.... You don't always see them, but you know they are always there”.

Somehow I feel this is quite correct. I hardly can forget this quote as it is really meaningful. We have many friends in our life time from primary, secondary, university until work places. Maybe we have a large circle of friends for more than hundred or two hundred or three hundred or even more people that we know, but for actually how many of them are our true friends that we can trust for.

A real friend is someone who walks in your life when the rest of the world walks out. He or she will always be there and may give you support whenever you need. Listen to your problem and help you to solve it. In good times and bad times, they will be on your side for ever more. They will share happiness, sadness, embarrassment, secrets and everything together with you. You can talk comfortably with them.

A real friend also likes a hand that is always holding yours, no matter how close or far apart you may be. You will know that they will be always there to care for you. It is a feeling of forever in the heart. However, it is hard to find true friends in life. We may have friends that just say hello- bye when meet; friends who wish to take advantage of you, friends who have fun together and many others type of friends but of course true friends also.

If you have one or two true friends in your life time to keep you growing then you are considering lucky enough. When you get to find such friend, it is impossible for you to forget. Such friends are worth to cherish and treasure.

Friendship Forever!!!

What is the meaning of cloudland? It can be refer as dreamland, dream world, faerie, fairyland, wonderland and cloud world as well. These are its entire synonym. The real meaning of this word is a realm of imagination or fantasy. However, it can be split become 2 words which are cloud and land also.

Cloud is a visible and moving body in the air. It dun has particular shapes and sizes. Sometimes you can use your imagination to think that it is an apple, butterfly, car, donkey and everything that u can relate. It is relaxing to lie on the ground viewing the movement of cloud. You can letting your mind to run wildly and have a good rest. Land is just a simple word. It can be a nation, country or just a small area. When this 2 word combine it become the title of the blog.
