Craving For Gong Cha @ Pop-Up Shilin Market Again

| |
Hi Huneybees,


Yes I'm up and awake, all excited and craving for another cup of Gong Cha from the Shilin Market pop-up at Turf Club. Knowing that Gong Cha has made an exclusive collaboration with my favourite artist - Simone Legno, hubby and I purposely made a beeline over to the special event on the first day last week!


Converted out from an open carpark space at Turf Club, the Shilin Market pop-up really got us all excited as it brought back some fond memories of the Taiwan Street snacks that we missed so much. But sadly, not only was the weather not being that friendly, but it was also overcrowded.




With the food street being packed to the max, it was difficult to maneuver around and with the lack of seatings, we literally wanted to give up and head home instead.


But luckily, the Gong Cha booth saved the day for us. It was well placed right at the entrance of the fairground, with area crowd control well-handled by the friendly Gong Cha staff that kept everyone's morale high despite the rain and overcrowding effect from other stores. 

For Huneybees, Gong Cha booth is made up of 2 different sections, the usual over-the-counter order corner and the Funhouse, with the payment booth smacked in the middle.


You can find Gong Cha x Tokidoki merchandise there as you make payment for your drinks, featuring Boba Bob and Boba Betty on a specially designed tumbler and cup sleeve. There are 3 brand new and exclusive flavours launched at this Shilin Market pop-up, featuring an innovative mix of ingredients beautifully incorporated using the art of ‘茶墨’ (Chá mò), also known as Tea Ink. 




Made popular in Taiwan, ‘茶墨’ refers to the technique of creating a splashed look across the bubble tea cup using strokes of contrasting colours. There's the Rosa Latte, Berry Biscotti ad Bambu Boba waiting for me to try when we return to the Shilin Market pop-up for a second chance this weekend.


Why didn't I try the 3 drinks out? Well, coz we opt for another option that I think was more exclusive to the pop-up event. Hubby and I spent all our time in the 512 sq-metre Funhouse where we got to personalize our very own Boba brews at the DIY stations within the Funhouse’s experiential zones. Kids and those who are looking for insta-worthy shots can also chill out at immersive Boba ball pit. 



Knowing Funhouse at Gong Cha booth was my Tokidoki Wonderland, hubby did not stop me from taking photos at every corner. If only I could wake up to these cutesy designs every morning and make my own cuppa to start the morning, this would definitely be the "blueprint" I would give to my next home decorator!


DIY Gong Cha Brews begin with the payment in the middle booth, then queuing to enter the Funhouse, where you can get a Gong Cha cup to fill up with all your favourite toppings, flavour syrups, and lastly tea brews. The friendly Gong Cha staff will be around to assist. 



For me, I pile up on the Rainbow Jelly, Pearl Boba and gave my Milk Tea a lychee twist before sealing it at the machine for my enjoyment...wee...


The Shilin Night Market will be back for Round 2 at The Grounds @ Kranji, Carpark B at Singapore Turf Club, 1 Turf Club Ave from April 26-28, 3pm-11pm. Admission is free. 

See you there as I will definitely be back for more Gong Cha x Tokidoki goodness and hopefully get to try more of the Taiwan Snacks too!

Dinosaurs Come Alive This September!

| |
Hi Huneybees,



After 65 Million Years! They are back to roam the Earth! Dinosaurs will again roam international soil when the globally-acclaimed production Walking With Dinosaurs - The Live Experience, based on the award-winning BBC Television Series comes to Singapore with a must-see live arena spectacular. Watched by more than 9 million people in more than 250 cities around the world, the production will captivate audiences of all ages as 18-life size dinosaurs take over the Singapore Indoor Stadium from 29 August for a limited season. Tickets are now on sale from www.sportshubtix.sg.
Walking With Dinosaurs opened its World Tour in the UK in July 2018 and has embarked on an international tour, taking over arenas across Europe, and now heading into Asia with a stopover in Singapore. The $20 million production features updated, state of the art technology, underlining its position as the biggest and best dinosaur show in the world.
This updated production will showcase spectacular and colorful changes to the dinosaurs based on the latest scientific research including the likely feathering of some species. The one-hour, 40-minute show depicts the dinosaurs’ evolution with almost cinematic realism. Walking With Dinosaurs – The Live Experience has scenes of the interactions between dinosaurs, how carnivorous dinosaurs evolved to walk on two legs, and how the herbivores fended off their more agile predators.


Nine species are represented from the entire 200-million-year reign of the dinosaurs. The show includes the Tyrannosaurus Rex, the terror of the ancient terrain, as well as the Plateosaurus and Liliensternus from the Triassic period, the Stegosaurus and Allosaurus from the Jurassic period and Torosaurus and Utahraptor from the Cretaceous period. The largest of them, the Brachiosaurus, is 11 meters tall and 17 meters from nose to tail. It took a team of 50 – including engineers, fabricators, skin makers, artists, painters, and animatronic experts - a year to build the production.
The history of the world is played out with the splitting of the earth’s continents, and the transition from the arid desert of the Triassic period is given over to the lush green prairies and forces of the later Jurassic. Oceans form, volcanoes erupt, a forest catches fire – all leading to the impact of the massive comet, which struck the earth, and forced the extinction of the dinosaurs.

“Sliding Doors Entertainment in partnership with UnUsUal Entertainment are thrilled to bring to families in Singapore a superb entertainment experience they can’t find anywhere else. Dinosaurs have captured the imagination of children for generations and this show takes this passion to a whole new level of unrivaled learning and excitement which will thrill and captivate audiences of all ages. Don’t miss this extraordinary live theatrical arena production.” --- Milan Rokic, CEO of Sliding Doors Entertainment
Walking With Dinosaurs - The Live Experience is produced by Global Creatures and promoted in Singapore by UnUsUal Entertainment and Sliding Doors Entertainment. The show originated from Australia, where after years of planning and work, Walking With Dinosaurs – The Live Experience came to life on January 2007. Soon after this, the show went on to conquer the whole world with record-breaking audiences.

Facts on The Phantom of the Opera

| |
Hi Huneybees,



Masquerade! Paper faces on parade

Masquerade! Hide your face so the world will never find you
Masquerade! Every face a different shade
Masquerade! Look around, there's another mask behind you



A song that's of so familiar to me when I was in the school band back in those secondary school days. "Masquerade" a song by Andrew Lloyd Webber for the musical - The Phantom of the Opera made such a great song to open any performance and this piece was challenging one for one who plays the flute and piccolo. Play it well, and you can shine brightly amidst the huge band, if not, just one note wrong, everyone will know you made a mistake. It was a stressful time for me, practicing day and night just so I do not let my band down, but also because of that experience, I fell in love with the piece and always wanted to catch the musical in person and feel how the live band would sound with the actors on stage.


I've already made a date with hubby this April when The Phantom of the Opera returns to Singapore once again, have you gotten your tickets yet?  Here are a few fun facts for you, on the musical to share with your friends. Do get your tickets early before the show leaves Singapore again...

Get Truly Wireless With Crazybaby Air 1S

| |
Hi Huneybees,


I've always wanted to get a pair of wireless earbuds so that I could share the music I'm listening to with my hubby. When we go on trips, trekking, jogging or even a session down at the gym, it's always so weird when we are both on our individual music and interacting coz we can't hear each other.


I always wondered wouldn't it be nice if we each had a side of the earbud, wire-free, listening to the same music and having the other "open" ear available as we speak to each other? Well, I gave the Crazybaby Air 1S True Wireless Headphones a whirl and I'm loving it. After all, it has won the iF DESIGN AWARD by iF International Forum Design GmbH this year as a symbol of design excellence around the world!


The Crazybaby Air 1S True Wireless Headphones feels almost weightless, very easy to bring around and fit into any pockets. They fit snuggly into my ears, without causing any pain even after long hours of wearing, not falling off no matter how vigorously I shake my head, and being IPX6 Water & Sweat Proof, it makes a perfect pair to have when I'm working out with my hubby.


Connecting to the earphones is an easy-peasy job and can be done within seconds, together with the Enhanced Bluetooth Connection of using the same PIFA antenna like that of high-end smartphones, with a wide bandwidth and a high signal reception efficiency, I can get a stable, robust connection within a 15-meter distance. Which also means, hubby and I can work on different machines in the gym, whilst enjoying the same piece of workout music. (Yup, another reason to "convince hubby" 😏to get the Crazybaby Air 1S).


Other specialities about the Crazybaby Air 1S also includes its fast charging power, battery life up to 12 hours, wind-resistant and noise-isolation streamline design paired with the built-in algorithm of Crazybaby Air 1S simulates 3D virtual surround sound, not only cuts out the noisy surroundings allowing a more immersive music experience but also creates layered listening experience from symphony to rain sounds. 




All in all, I think the Crazybaby Air 1S makes a great companion to have, no matter if you are a fitness buff, a travel bug or simply just a music admirer. It is available at Audio House, Best Denki, Challenger, Courts, Mustafa, Polaris, Popular, Singtel, SprintCass, Takashimaya, Tangs and Treoo.com, at $279.



For the fashionistas, there is also the Crazybaby Nano 1S coming up in May, which comes in several colours. Do keep a lookout for more updates....
