My Virgin Trip To Singapore Turf Club For The Dester Singapore Gold Cup 2016

| |
Hi Huneybees,


Last week I experienced another "FIRST" in my life, spending a fun day amongst friends and horses at the Singapore Turf Club for the Dester Singapore Gold Cup 2016. It was the first time I stepped foot into the premises and also placed a bet on horses, and it was definitely an eye opener!


I dressed up for the event (coz we were invited to the VIP ballrooms), wearing my Irregular Choice pony hair heels to match my red dress, thinking that was formal enough for the event, but imagine my shock when I arrived at the VIP room. Ladies wore floor sweeping gowns, stacked on the jewels and hair pieces, I was just entry level!



The VIP ballroom had buffet arranged for us, but what's fun is that whilst you dine, you can also watch the race in comfort from the screens hanging above or walk over to the side of the room and watch the race from bird's eye view.



After a couple of Dester beers, we were also brought downstairs to check out the horses and their jockeys before the race. 




The horses take on 1 round of parading around, before the jockeys hop on, parade another round before heading over to the racecourse. Apparently this is like a must-do before every race, before you place your bets. This is the best time to assess the horses (if you know how to), see if the horses are in good health, best condition that day and also whether the jockeys look fit for the race too.




So, it's SGD5 to place a bet and you can choose to place as WIN or PLACE. Win means the horse you bet on has to come in first for you to get winnings, whereas Place is as long as the horse you bet on comes within the first to third place, you will get the winnings. But of course, that's subjected to the odds on the horse and when coming to calculating how much is the winning, I'm clueless. I just let the lady at the counter and the computer system do the calculations...


The race started and it was just a round around the course, just a 5 minutes affair. When the race is over, every jockey has to weigh themselves, this has to tally with their weight measurements before the race, to ensure that no one is playing cheat.



All in all, I think it's pretty fun for my "virgin" experience at the Singapore Turf Club. Even though I went home with a $0.10 winning, I think it's exciting when seeing the horse you bet on coming in close to winning.

I think a healthy dose of "betting adrenaline" can be a nice weekend activity and the wide space seems to wash the workday stress away. Check out this pic I took with LG's CAM 360, isn't it beautiful?

Top 8 Showcases You Must Visit At AFA Singapore 2016

| |
Hi Huneybees,


Anime Festival Asia (AFA) has returned to Singapore again at Suntec Singapore Convention and Exhibition Centre, Hall 406, from 25th November (Friday) to 27th November (Sunday).

From my experience today at the festival, there seems to be greater focus on showcases than last year.
To avoid mental stress trying to navigate between booths and stages through thousands of anime fans at the festival, here are my Top 8 recommended showcases that you must visit.

1. Kodansha VR Idol "Hop Step Sing!" booth at A188


If you are looking for an upgrade experience to your typical idol anime, Idol anime VR, a system that takes you for an immersive idol anime experience may be what you need. Similar to THE iDOLM@STER: Cinderella Girls Viewing Revolution for Playstation VR, this system works using Steam VR instead, with an original cast of characters.

2. BANDAI Model Kit at booth A21 & A24


There is a life size Gundam model for photo opportunity but the real star is the 1/60 scale Premium Bandai featuring Unicorn Gundam 03 Phenex in Perfect Grade on display. You can get this limited edition, shiny gold coating model kit at SGD550 with free shipping if you pre-order at the booth during the festival.

3. KOTOBUKIYA at booth A09


Frame Arms Girl reminds me of KanColle. Assembled in a similar fashion to Gundam models but with more customization in terms of weaponry, these kawaii plastic model kits have been well received so far since its launch in 2015.  Do note that the new models HRESVELGR (SGD64.99) and INNOCENTIA (SGD44.99) are coming out in January and March 2017 respectively. There will also be a anime release scheduled in 2017.

4. Sword Art Online at booths A29 & A35 



Sword Art Online has two booths (A29 & A35) this year. One of them features life size cut-outs of Kirito and Asuna dressed in costumes related to different countries such as Singapore, Germany and South Korea. Other products related to the new movie, Sword Art Online The Movie - Ordinal Scale -, were on sale at the booths. There was also a special anime showcase for the movie featuring Kanae Ito and Yoshitsugu Matsuoka, the VAs of Yui and Kirito respectively.

5. Ghost Parade at Booth A89


Ghost Parade, a new game by Indonesian company Lentera, is currently in the beta stage. The game is about a young girl who gets lost in a forest on her way to school and meets many different ghosts. The ghosts are friendly and this young girl helps them by solving their problems. Players also get to "collect" the ghosts and learn more about their underlying legends, and in the end, they shall see that perhaps these mysterious legends aren't as scary as what we often make them out to be.


The game currently focuses on Indonesian ghosts and spirits, but is intending to expand to include other Asian legends as well. The game is expected to launch early 2017.


To show support for Ghost Parade, you can check out their Facebook, Instagram, Official Line account or their ask.fm page. You can also find out more at their webpage.

6. Cool Japan at Booth A105



Robi, a easy-to-assemble part-work robot from Japan standing at 34cm in height and weighing 1kg, was on showcase during the festival under Cool Japan (Booth A105) together with RoBoHon, a robot smartphone by SHARP.


Also at the booth are 5 recommended Apps and 88 Japanese animation spots (seichi) selected for anime fans.

7. WAKUWAKU Japan at Booth A97


Want to have a chance to meet & greet Pikotaro also known as Mr. PPAP in person? 


If so, you need to join the PPAP challenge by uploading to Instagram of you dressing up as Pikotaro himself and perform PPAP!

8. SONY at Booth A101


Experience Artificial Intelligence at work by interacting in real time with adorable character "Megumi Kato" from "SAEKANO ~How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend~. "MAIN HEROINE KATO MEGUMI"is available for Android App download on Google Play.


Have a Kawaii Sunday!
