I went to Jurong bird park to watch sing to the dawn! It was the first singapore animation adapted from the literature book wriiten by Ho Minfong. It was also the literature book which I read about in my secondary school days.

We took some pictures first before we watched the movies and even took pictures with an eagle! The birds there are all so "professional" that we almost thought they are fake!lol...=P

The screening is at the amphitheatre. The screen is not very big and the system is quite bad. There were alot of technical faults in between. We bought chicken rice from Jurong point to eat while watching. It was very cheap...only $2. The movie only lasted for 1 hour plus but is quite nice...about the same storyline as what I had read before.

The movie was about a teenage girl named Dawan who fought for her rights to basic education.
One day, the entire village turned upside down when they need to pay taxes. Dawan's father, Somchai, wanted Dawan to tutor her brother, Kai, so that he could get a scholarship and Dawan to be married to Benz, son of landlord, Pairote. However, Dawan objected the idea and decided to get the scholarship herself so that she could go to the city to study.

Old Wichien, the village old and crazy puppeteer, told Dawan that the ownership of the land does not belong to Pairote and belongs to the villagers. So, Dawan went on a journey to find the decree with Kai and saved the village. She also realised her dreams to study in the city.
