Answer The Call To Fly With The Super Heroes - Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman & Green Lantern This Saturday!

Hi Huneybees,

HELP!

The Joker has been wrecking havoc in Singapore and your help is needed! The call for help is now!

Come report at Faber Peak Singapore, the mission-base for renowned Super Heroes to help save the day!

The Bat Signal has been up, Super Heroes have been fighting off the bad guys, but there's more and your help is needed!

For the next 10 months, come take to the skies with Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman and the Green Lantern in the Singapore Cable Car, which has been identified as the perfect vehicle to combat evil.

Launching on 31 May 2014, 45 cable car cabins will be decked out in ' DC Comics Super Hero' graphic wraps on both the cabins' exterior and interior for a one-of-a-kind experience as you fly with the Super Heroes. The Singapore Cable Car will be the first to use in-cabin Augmented Reality (AR) technology to bring the characters and the mission to life.

At the media preview, I got to fly with my favourite hero or rather heroine - Wonder Woman! She's always been the one to stand for Girl Power with her strength and she is definitely not losing out to the boys.

 But, but, but before you start, don't forget to download the crime-fighting app in your phone - 'Fly With Super Heroes' that is available for both Google Play and AppStore. Don't worry about connection, as you will be able to get FREE Wi-Fi here at the base.

 

Once you have it loaded, simply hop onto your ride and turn on the app. Point your phone towards the AR marker in the cabin (Psst, there are 3 in a cabin) and prepare to fly and fight with your DC Super Heroes by tapping on the screen!

And once you are done fighting, why not come sit with your Super Hero for a victorious shot? Be sure to share it on your social media, tell your friends to join us on the crime fighting adventure!

You can even add 'stamps' to beautify the shots.

Also, don't forget to enjoy the view and come stop by the Cable Car Gift Shops to bring home exclusive DC Super Heroes memorabilia!

So, come over over, starting this Saturday, 31 May 2014, to come meet-and-greet the Super Heroes for some photo opportunities and join forces in fighting off The Joker! 

 

 See you there!

adidas Unveils The Official Match Ball For The Final Of 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™

Hi Huneybees,

The secret is out... adidas today unveiled the brazuca Final Rio Official Match Ball, the official match ball for the Final of the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™! 

The ball will be an integral part of the Final on 13^th July when the top two federations battle it out for a place in history. The design of brazuca Final Rio has been inspired by the green and gold on the FIFA World Cup trophy and is a variation of the previously released adidas brazuca Official Match Ball which was launched back in December last year.

In the build up to the FIFA World Cup™, adidas has used brazuca as part of its "all in or nothing" FIFA World Cup campaign and launched @brazuca on Twitter. After the launch in December 2013, @brazuca has garnered over 131,000 followers and has introduced fans to some of the world’s greatest footballers and celebrities including Zinedine Zidane, Cafu, Samuel L Jackson & Hugh Jackman. It has even travelled to the Vatican City to meet Pope Francis. Fans on twitter have also been able to track the build-up to the FIFA World Cup™ in Brazil through the eyes of the ball as it travels the world and offers an alternative take on the game.

Back in December 2013, adidas delivered brazucas to all federations competing in the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™ in order for all teams to have sufficient time to train with the new balls both in training and competitive matches. Since then, the ball has also played a starring role in competitions such as the FIFA Club World Cup, Copa del Rey, MLS, DFB Pokal as well as numerous international friendlies.

Prior to the official launch, brazuca and brazuca Final Rio went through a thorough testing process over a two and a half year period involving more than 600 of the world’s top players and 30 teams in 10 countries across three continents, making it the most tested ball ever by adidas and ensuring that it is suited to all conditions. Clubs involved in testing included AC Milan, Bayern Munich, Palmeiras and Fluminense. Players involved in the process included global football stars Leo Messi, Iker Casillas, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Zinedine Zidane.

The technology incorporated into the bladder and carcass of brazuca and brazuca Final Rio is identical to the Tango 12 (UEFA Euro 2012™), Cafusa (FIFA Confederations Cup 2013) and the ever-popular UEFA Champions League™ Official Match Ball. However, a new structural innovation with a unique symmetry of six identical panels alongside a different surface structure will provide improved grip, touch, stability and aerodynamics on the pitch. brazuca has been thoroughly tested to meet and exceed all FIFA metrics for an official match ball, ensuring top performance for every condition.

The FIFA World Cup™ is the world’s largest football event and the ultimate platform for the
adidas state-of-the-art apparel, hardware and footwear. adidas has made every FIFA World Cup™ ball since 1970, and recently extended the partnership with FIFA until 2030, including the
supply of the official match ball.

Brazuca Final Rio is available to purchase globally from Sunday June 1^st in all adidas Sports Performance outlets, Weston Corporation, 12^th Men at Bedok Mall, as well as the adidas online store (shop.adidas.com.sg) at SGD189. For further information please visit adidasSG Facebook page.

Audi Fashion Festival 2014 - Harper’s Bazaar Asia New Generation Fashion Designer Award

Hi Huneybees,

Back in 2013, editors from Harper’s Bazaar Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand were at Bangkok International Fashion Week 2013 to choose the winner of the inaugural Harper’s Bazaar Asia New Generation Fashion Designer Award for finalists hailing from the four Southeast Asian countries.

Malaysia’s Harvee Kok took home the grand prize of a sponsored Master’s degree at Instituto Marangoni in London and also had his collections published in the four countries’ magazines. So, at the Audi Fashion Festival 2014, we got to see the 8 finalists send down their works (Spring Summer 2014 collection) on the runway of Harper’s Bazaar Asia New Generation Fashion Designer Award show . Everyone was as talented and it must have been a hard time judging for the winner!

Harvee Kok (Malaysia)

Naming his collection "Bipolarity", Harvee took inspiration from the game of weiqi, reflecting the black and white playing pieces, he used metallic beads on checkered texture fabrics. He presented new shapes and forms, giving the womenswear a touch of androgynous feel.

Peggy Hartanto (Indonesia) 

Peggy Hartanto’s “Unseen” was inspired by a series of X-ray floral photographs that revealed complex flower and leaf structures unseen by the naked eye. The dusky pink floral anatomy prints against the strong contrast of black and white, gave it all a romantic feel and the sheer panels peeking through the outfits, simply exude sexiness, covering just enough for "skin" to show off.

Teresa Lim (Singapore) 

This quirky styled illustrator left a deep impression on me, when I first met her at an event. Known as @Teeteeheehee , her illustrations are transformed into one of a kind fashion prints for her collection - “Lenina Gone Wild”.

She created a fictional character - Lenina and she appears in various versions - as a print or in interesting embroidered pieces. I love how the ends of threads give an undone feel to show off her handy work and the particular pink lips against the sky blue suit is simply must-have!

Wiruwan Nhuyung (Thailand) 

Wiruwan Nhuyung’s “En Garden” collection is simply every girl's dreams to be dressed in pretty flowers everyday. It's so dreamy and princessy as the 23-year-old designer presented her masterful handcut floral geometric patterns that easily surpasses machine laser cut. The sugary sweet outfits are paired with acrylic necklaces and sharp shoulder details, giving the collection a slight edge.

Sean Loh (Malaysia)  

Sean Loh's “A Thousand Kisses Deep” is inspired by Madame Butterfly. The Japanese fashion style and the tragic love of the opera sets the tone of his all-black collection. Hints of kimono, hakama pants with embroidered lace and textured polyester, gives the mysterious and sexy black collection a modern touch. The models were standing strong like Black Beauty...

 

Yahn Adam (Singapore)

Bring out thos gas mask and have a walk inside Singapore designer - Yahn Adam's head. “My Asylum” is a collection inspired by the instability state of mind during the designer's  admission in the hospital - PARANOIA, FEAR and ANXIETY.

This punk fashion line won my heart the moment the first model walked out. Clever use of combining dyed X-ray film material together with chain mail and distressed jeans, with splatters of blood is definitely for the strong, powerful women!

Jatupong Metula (Thailand)

Jatupong Metula brought his love for shiny things into his collection - "The Whispering". Taking inspiration from Phumin Temple in Nan province, Thailand and a legend from the province, he created a shiny  new collection together with local weaving pattern that his grandmother used to wear. The boxy silhouette against the sequins and traditional prints will definitely make every lady stand out.

Sheila Wijaya (Indonesia)

“Moonshine” was created through art plant photography and the mysterious, elegant figure of the High Priestess in the tarot card are what set that basis of the sihouettes in the collection. There was quite a bit of drama as the sweeping long pieces were presented. Every model looked so statuesque ...

So, what do you think of the collections?

Which one/s are your favourite?
