Sammi tends to look more on her right when she’s singing, so better get seats on her right for her next concert.

Weta Cave is located at corner of Camperdown Rd and Weka St, Miramar, Wellington. It is a mini museum that house some of the characters, props and displays from movies like LOTR, The Chronicles of Narnia, and King Kong. One of the co-founders is the Academy Award winner director, Peter Jackson. At Weta Cave, you get to purchase limited edition sculptures, hand-crafted by the artists at Weta. There is also a short film screening that gives you a behind-the-scene look at how Weta Studio produces the effects and props for box office movies.

This year’s competition is won by team Spain. It’s not surprising actually but I thought that team Canada did stand a good chance too. Grand finale drew the biggest crowd so far, with my usual tripod spot being fully occupied before 8:00pm. I was hoping that team Australia (last year’s winner) will perform on grand finale, as stated in MIFC official website, but in the end, you get a mixture of fireworks from all participating teams of 2008. Team Malaysia dominated most of the 30 minute show, accompanied by variety of local music.
