Sister Act The Musical Comedy Is Coming To Marina Bay Sands

| |
Hi Huneybees,

The hilarious, five-time Tony-nominated musical smash hit, SISTER ACT, will be coming to Singapore for the first time, straight from the US!  Described “In a word, DIVINE!” by the Associated Press, SISTER ACT opens at the MasterCard Theatres, Marina Bay Sands on 9 May 2017 for a limited engagement! Tickets are now on sale.



Fans of the movie will find the musical as hilarious and if you have not watched it before,  SISTER ACT tells the story of a wannabe disco diva Deloris Van Cartier whose life takes a surprising turn when she witnesses a murder, and is put into protective custody in the one place the police are sure she won’t be found - a convent! Disguised as a nun, she finds herself at odds with both the rigid lifestyle and an uptight Mother Superior. Using her fabulous disco vibe and killer voice to inspire the choir, Deloris breathes new life into the church, but in doing so, blows her cover.  Soon it’s nun-on-the-run time but Deloris helps her fellow sisters find their voices as she unexpectedly rediscovers her own. A sparkling tribute to the universal power of friendship, SISTER ACT is reason to rejoice!
Based on the mega-hit film from the 1990s, SISTER ACT features original music by 8-time Oscar® winner ALAN MENKEN (Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, Little Shop of Horrors), with a vast inspiration of musical styles from Motown, soul and funk to great big disco anthems and Barry White inspired musical comedy.

The Original Production is produced by Whoopi Goldberg and Stage Entertainment.  This production is produced by BEG and TROIKA Entertainment. SISTER ACT received five 2011 Tony® Award nominations including BEST MUSICAL, BEST ORIGINAL SCORE (Alan Menken (music)/Glenn Slater (lyrics), and BEST BOOK OF A MUSICAL (Cheri & Bill Steinkellner and Douglas Carter Beane).



“To hear people laugh and cheer the way they do at SISTER ACT—a show people think they know but are pleasantly surprised to discover is not what they are expecting—is a magical experience for a producer. Happily, audiences across the country are able to get in on the fun as Deloris and her fabulous sisters spread the love nationwide.”  --- Producer of the Original production - Whoopi Goldbergwho also played the lead role of Deloris in the 1992 Hollywood blockbuster and sequel.  


SISTER ACT features lyrics by Tony and Academy Award-nominee Glenn Slater (The Little Mermaid), and a book by multi-Emmy Award winners Cheri and Bill Steinkellner (“Cheers”) with additional book material by Tony and Olivier Award nominee Douglas Carter Beane (Xanadu, The Little Dog Laughed). Directed on Broadway by four-time Tony Award winner Jerry Zaks (Guys and Dolls, A Funny Thing…Forum, Smokey Joe’s Café), the production features choreography by Tony and Olivier Award nominee Anthony Van Laast (Mamma Mia, Bombay Dreams) and is based on the Touchstone Pictures motion picture Sister Act written by Joseph Howard.
SISTER ACT features scenic design by Klara Zieglerova (Jersey Boys), costume design by Lez Brotherson (Swan Lake), lighting design by Natasha Katz (Once), sound design by Peter McBoyle (Come Fly Away) and hair design by David Brian Brown (Death of a Salesman).

Make Your Eyes Sparkle With 1 • DAY ACUVUE® DEFINE™ Radiant Contact Lenses

| |
Hi Huneybees,


I started wearing contact lenses 5 years ago, when I wanted to look pretty for my wedding and cast my nerdy glasses aside for the special day. I've always relied on the ACUVUE OASYS lens due to my astigmatism, but from time to time, when I want to change my eye colour to match with my makeup, I'll try out other colored lens too. 

I've always played safe and stuck to the brands that optometrists carries, but some gets too drying even for a day's wear and they just keep reminding you of their existence as the day passes. What's the point of wearing contact lenses if I want to feel something right?! I might as well stick to wearing my glasses!

Acuvue has been a brand that I stick to for my contact lens and I'm infatuated with their DEFINE range of beauty lenses. Recently, they’ve launched two new designs that have gotten the whole concept of eye contouring down. They draw attention to your eyes even though you have minimal makeup and have not much concept on the eyeshadow contouring.


Meet the Radiant Bright™ and Radiant Charm™ ~


Both new styles are very nuanced, featuring three layers of translucent pigments to add depth to your eyes, very much like the steps of priming, contouring and highlighting. I love how comfortable they are throughout the day, my eyes pop, seeming even brighter and more radiant, especially in photo taking. And what's best is that it is not super obvious and if not purposely staring, you won't notice that I'm wearing beauty contact lenses!

Radiant Bright™ is a lighter shade, with brown and amber tones and a mocha limbal ring to help brighten up your irises. Whereas Radiant Charm™, would be closer to natural pupil colour with a darker limbal ring of grey encircling honey tones; allowing you to create a darker and more enchating look.
I find that both shades are not overpowering and no matter what colour eyeshadow I put on, how colourful or how nude my makeup is, my eyes still pop against the light. In fact, they make my eyes pop even more and seem bigger than usual. You can see the difference from the picture below.
Left: Radiant Bright
Right: Radiant Charm
Left: Original
Middle: Radiant Bright
Right: Radiant Charm
I love that 3D feel of lenses that give my eyes the depth, my eyes look so "awake" when I'm wearing these lenses. Comparing with when I wear those red, green or blue contact lens, it's less "scary", less cosplayer feel, and enlarging my eyes with natural colours. 
Left: Radiant Bright
Right: Radiant Charm
My favourite has got to be the Radiant Charm lenses coz there is more contrast and my skin tone seems fairer as compared to Radiant Bright.  I love that feathering light grey effect along the ridges, making the whites of my eyes whiter as compared to the pupil. Do you agree?
You can feel at ease wearing these lenses as the 1-Day ACUVUE® DEFINE® lenses are the only beauty lenses that have LACREON® Technology that promises 20 hours of moisture with embedded wetting agent for your eyes; and with it’s revolutionary Beauty-Wrapped-In-Comfort™ Technology, the lens pigments are enclosed within lens material and definitely will not come in contact with your eyes for safety. Totally my first choice for beauty lenses!
You have got to give these lenses a try. The 1 • DAY ACUVUE® DEFINE™ with LACREON® contact lenses are retailing  from $64 for 1 box. Available at authorised optical practitioners. See acuvue.com.sg for more details.

My Visit To Toyota Booth At Singapore Motorshow 2017

| |
Hi Huneybees,


Singapore Motorshow has returned in 2017 at Suntec City Convention & Exhibition Center Level 4 and I was privileged to be invited to attend the Media Preview on 12th January 2016!

One of the biggest exhibitors at Singapore Motorshow 2017 is none other than Toyota, which synonymous with quality , durability and reliability to most drivers and mechanics I know.

Two cars that stole my attention at the "Drive Happy" with Toyota booth by Borneo Motors were the All-New Toyota C-HR and the Toyota Harrier.


Introducing the All-New Toyota Coupe-High Rider (C-HR) for the first time in Singapore at Singapore Motorshow 2017, this is the preview of Toyota's answer to the crossover market, now dominated by competition led by Honda.
Shaped like a facetted gemstone with fluid surfaces and elegantly integrated detailing, C-HR is a product of the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) platform that promises to build cars with a lower centre of gravity than before, which, in turn, will give better suspension, stability and handling.

The All-New C-HR received a lot of visitors during the Public Preview on 12th January @ Singapore MotorShow

While the official launch date in Singapore will be announced at a later timing, the all-new Toyota C-HR will be powered by a new 1.2 litre turbo engine with CVT system that could only means affordability - Category A COE and lower road tax obligation- for prospective car buyers!


Toyota Harrier has always been one of Singapore's favourite SUV but interestingly none are actually sold by Borneo Motors, the authorised distributor of Toyota in Singapore; And to see one at the booth, dressed in all shiny and reflective mirror-like paint is certainly a sight to behold!


Titled as the "Mirror Harrier Concept", I could not help but wondered if this is the most obvious hint to date by Borneo Motors to bring in one of the most popular parallel imported SUV here.

Over at the Lexus, Toyota's premium brand in the luxury segment, which focuses on delivering exhilarating performance, innovation and craftsmanship, two new models been debuted at the Singapore Motorshow 2017 - the new Lexus IS and all-new Lexus RC Turbo.


The new Lexus IS, the compact executive car within the luxury range of Lexus, has been boldly restyled with a daring new design, new levels of thoughtful driver-centric features and impressive driving capabilities.

This revamped third generation model will be available to Singapore buyers in IS Turbo and IS Hybrid model variants. IS Turbo will be equipped with the brand’s proprietary 2.0-litre twin-scroll turbocharged engine that works with an air-to-water intercooler, resulting in quicker cool-down rate and faster engine response. Meanwhile IS Hybrid has the Lexus Hybrid Drive system, which offers significant reduction in fuel consumption and carbon emissions, without comprising performance for city driving.

All-New Lexus RC Turbo is a true luxury coupe that can reach 0-100km in 7.2 seconds

All-New Lexus RC Turbo offers the pure adrenaline for executive who wants a true luxury coupe with an avant-garde exterior design that expresses individuality. The twin brother of IS Turbo in the engine compartment that delivers 241 horsepower and 350Nm of torque, the Lexus RC Turbo comes with strikingly assertive exterior styling that gives every onlooker the jolt while the dynamic driver-focused cockpit
allows the driver the exceptional agility at his command.


Come down to view your favorite Toyota and Lexus models on display at Singapore Motorshow 2017 at booth 111 and 112 respectively from 12th to 15th January at Suntec City Convention & Exhibition Center Level 4.

You may also wish to take the opportunity to catch Russ Swift amazing car stunt show and your favourite Mediacorp artists at the event at the scheduled timing. For more information on the admission fee and schedule for each day, do visit Singapore Motorshow website today.


Have a fast and furious weekend!
