Green-Coded: Frasers Property Turns Singapore Malls into Fun Sustainability Adventures for Families

Hi Huneybees,


What if a trip to the mall could also inspire your family to live a little greener?

From 16 March to 3 May 2026, Frasers Property Singapore is transforming selected malls across the island into interactive sustainability playgrounds with its new campaign Green-Coded – Live the Sustainable Life.” Instead of simply talking about eco-friendly habits, the campaign invites families to experience them through hands-on activities, immersive missions and playful learning moments.

Designed especially with families and young explorers in mind, the initiative brings together partners including Mandai X Ranger Buddies, Tesla Junior Driving School and the National Environment Agency (NEA). Together, they are turning everyday retail spaces into lively environments where children can discover how conservation, sustainable mobility and responsible consumption fit into daily life.


A Mission Through the Mall with Mandai X Ranger Buddies

Young adventurers can begin their journey by joining the Mandai X Ranger Buddies Mission, a gamified conservation experience that turns the mall into a mini adventure trail.

Follow Pedro the sea lion on a rescue journey, solve puzzles and complete interactive challenges along the way. As they move through the stations, kids learn practical tips about protecting wildlife, reducing plastic use and building everyday recycling habits.

One highlight of the mission is the Recycle Right with Bloobin” station, developed together with the National Environment Agency. Here, children tackle a sliding puzzle featuring Bloobin while learning how to sort recyclables correctly from plastics and metal to paper and glass.

To join the mission, shoppers simply need to spend $30 in a single same-day receipt to redeem a gamification code. Children who complete the adventure will receive a mall-exclusive Ranger Buddies Mission badge, a cute keepsake to celebrate their eco-hero moment!


Kids Take the Wheel at Tesla Junior Driving School

Another highlight that is guaranteed to excite little ones is the Tesla Junior Driving School.

Here, kids get the chance to drive mini electric vehicles, offering a playful introduction to clean energy and sustainable transportation. Beyond the thrill of taking the wheel, the experience helps young participants understand how electric vehicles contribute to cleaner air and a healthier planet.

Parents can redeem a 10-minute driving session for their children with a $30 same-day spend, making it an activity that is both educational and memorable.


Shop Sustainably and Unlock Green-Coded Rewards

The campaign also rewards shoppers who make conscious choices.

One of the most charming redemptions is a limited-edition reusable eco tote, created in collaboration with local design studio Tell Your Children (TYC). Inspired by Japanese aesthetics, the bag features a subtle corner motif and blends thoughtful design with everyday practicality. Shoppers who spend $120 across up to three same-day receipts can redeem the tote while stocks last.

For those who love sustainability with a creative twist, the campaign also features a collaboration between Plastify and TWOOAK (Two Of A Kind). Collection points at participating malls will allow shoppers to drop off their used contact lens blisters, which will later be transformed into functional furniture pieces.

Participants who spend $30 in a single receipt will also qualify for a PLASTIFY x TWOOAK lucky draw, where five winners will walk away with a unique stool crafted from the recycled contact lens blisters which makes a stylish reminder that waste can be turned into something meaningful.



Supporting Families Through Community Giving

Beyond environmental awareness, the campaign also extends its impact to the community.

Frasers Property Singapore is partnering with The Food Bank Singapore on a Back-to-School Support Kit initiative aimed at helping children from lower-income families. Each $13 donation provides a kit filled with nutritious breakfast items, snacks and essential stationery.

To amplify the effort, Frasers Property will match every dollar donated, doubling the impact and ensuring more children receive the support they need.


Turning Everyday Spaces into Sustainable Learning Hubs

What makes Green-Coded – Live the Sustainable Life especially meaningful is how it transforms familiar spaces - our neighbourhood malls, into places where sustainability can be experienced rather than simply discussed.

Through conservation missions, mini electric driving experiences, recycling activities and community initiatives, the campaign gently encourages families to adopt environmentally conscious habits in ways that feel approachable and fun.

It’s a reminder that living sustainably doesn’t require drastic lifestyle changes. Sometimes, it simply starts with small actions like learning how to recycle properly, choosing reusable items, or teaching children how their everyday choices affect the planet. And if those lessons happen while driving a tiny Tesla or solving puzzles with a sea lion mascot? Even better!

Green-Coded – Live the Sustainable Life
📅 16 March – 3 May 2026

Nicholas Tse Brings CEO Energy to DETERMINANT’s SS26 “Own Your Pace” Collection

| |
0 comments
Hi Huneybees,

Okay, can we take a moment to appreciate Nicholas Tse in this DETERMINANT campaign? Because wow. The man is serving serious executive energy — sharp suit, calm confidence, and honestly giving off major short drama domineering CEO vibes (短剧霸总). If the goal was to make professional dressing look effortlessly cool, mission accomplished.

But beyond the swoon-worthy visuals, the campaign also introduces DETERMINANT’s Spring Summer 2026 collection, “Own Your Pace”, a range designed for the realities of modern work life — especially here in Singapore where humid weather, long commutes and packed schedules are just part of the daily grind.

The collection is built around a simple philosophy: quiet confidence and purposeful dressing.



Nicholas Tse: The Face of “Own Your Pace”

Few personalities capture discipline and versatility quite like Nicholas Tse. Known across Asia for his work in music, film and entrepreneurship, Tse represents the idea of someone constantly evolving while maintaining a strong sense of focus - a mindset that aligns perfectly with DETERMINANT’s approach to modern workwear.

“In a city that never slows down, what you wear has to keep up. DETERMINANT does exactly that — it gives you one less thing to think about, so you can focus on what matters.” --- Nicholas Tse

Well, that line sums up the brand perfectly. Because in Singapore’s fast-paced lifestyle, the last thing most professionals want to worry about is wrinkled shirts or sweat marks halfway through the day.


Built for Singapore’s Climate and Work Culture

The SS26 “Own Your Pace” collection is designed specifically with urban professionals in mind - people who move between MRT commutes, meetings, work lunches and evening events without missing a beat.

Instead of purely focusing on aesthetics, the collection prioritises comfort, performance and adaptability while maintaining a clean, polished look.

The range is organised into three themes reflecting different stages of professional growth:

  • Own Your Momentum – for those constantly moving forward

  • Own Your Ambition – representing career drive and progression

  • Own Your Mastery – confidence built through experience

It’s a thoughtful way of framing workwear; not just as clothing, but as part of the journey professionals take as they build their careers.


Wrinkle-Free Sharp Shirt - SGD100
(Royal Navy, White, Grey)

From the SS26 Collection

Wrinkle-Free Sharp Shirt

A crisp shirt is a work wardrobe essential, but ironing every morning? Not exactly the dream.

The Wrinkle-Free Sharp Shirt solves that problem with DP4.0 wrinkle-free technology, helping it maintain a clean and structured look throughout the day.

Made from 100% extra-long staple cotton, it features bonded seams and a concealed placket for a streamlined silhouette. It’s designed to work equally well tucked into tailored pants for meetings or styled more casually with jeans. In other words... polished without feeling overly stiff.

VISDRY™ Polo - SGD95
(Black, Grey, Mystic Blue)

VISDRY™ Polo

If you’ve ever stepped out into Singapore’s midday heat, you’ll understand why this piece is such a game-changer.

The VISDRY™ Polo is engineered with moisture-repelling technology that keeps sweat from appearing on the outer surface of the fabric while absorbing perspiration internally. A shirt that helps you stay dry, comfortable and presentation-ready, even during outdoor transitions or packed workdays!

Its clean construction and concealed placket also elevate the polo beyond casualwear, making it easy to wear on its own or layered under a blazer.

 Multi-Stretch Commuter Blazer - SGD200
(Navy, Mid Grey, Grey)

Multi-Stretch Commuter Blazer and Pants

Designed for professionals who are constantly on the move, the Multi-Stretch Commuter set focuses on flexibility and durability. The fabric features four-way stretch, allowing full freedom of movement whether you're commuting, travelling between meetings or simply navigating a busy day.

Multi-Stretch Commuter Pants - SGD120
(Navy. Mid Grey, Grey)

It also includes a water-repellent finish to resist light rain and accidental spills, something that feels particularly practical in Singapore’s unpredictable weather. Despite its performance features, the set still maintains a clean, tailored silhouette, striking a balance between comfort and professional polish.


Where to Find the Collection in Singapore

The DETERMINANT SS26 “Own Your Pace” collection is now available in Singapore both in-store and online.

You can explore the collection at:

Plaza Singapura
68 Orchard Road, #01-05, Singapore 238839

Takashimaya Shopping Centre
391 Orchard Road, Singapore 238872

Or browse online via the brand’s official website.

*** For a limited time, shoppers who make a qualifying purchase will also receive a complimentary notebook, available while stocks last. A small bonus, but honestly quite fitting — because if you're dressing like Nicholas Tse’s cool executive persona, you might as well have a stylish notebook to match.

What makes the “Own Your Pace” collection interesting isn’t just the sleek designs or the Nicholas Tse factor (although that definitely helps). It’s the focus on real-world functionality - clothing that works with Singapore’s climate, supports busy schedules, and still looks sharp throughout the day.

And if dressing well can give you even a tiny boost of confidence during a long workday, that’s already a win. Plus… if it helps channel a little Nicholas Tse CEO energy, I’m definitely not complaining.

Hi Huneybees,


If you love food, culture, music, and a little bit of mystery, Armenian Street is about to become one of the most exciting places to be this March.

The beloved Armenian Street Party is returning for its 10th edition from 13 to 15 March 2026, and this year’s celebration promises to be bigger, livelier, and more immersive than ever. Organised by the Peranakan Museum, the annual festival transforms the historic street into a vibrant cultural playground filled with performances, art, workshops, games, and of course... delicious Peranakan food!

It will be a giant Peranakan gathering where stories, flavours, and traditions come together for three festive nights!

A Festival Where Culture Comes Alive

Walking along Armenian Street during the festival will feel like stepping into a colourful living tapestry of Peranakan heritage. You can expect lively performances, interactive experiences, and community collaborations that celebrate the many influences that shape Peranakan culture today.

According to Clement Onn, Director of the Asian Civilisations Museum and Peranakan Museum, the Armenian Street Party is designed to bring people together through shared experiences - from food and fashion to storytelling and craft workshops.

One of the most eye-catching highlights this year is “Threads of Gathering,” a striking 3.5-metre art installation by Singapore mixed-media artist Dawn Koh. Set right in front of the museum façade, the installation features colourful motifs of butterflies, birds and peacocks that are symbols of transformation and connection. You can even contribute to the artwork, turning it into a collaborative piece that evolves throughout the festival!

A Delicious Mystery Inspired by Aunty Lee

One of the most playful highlights this year takes inspiration from Mediacorp’s English drama “Aunty Lee’s Deadly Delights.”

Fans of the show will get the chance to step into the world of Rosie “Aunty” Lee - the Peranakan restaurant owner and amateur sleuth who solves neighbourhood mysteries. Step inside the museum’s Ixora Room, where you can test your detective instincts through a mystery-solving pop-up experience. Crack the clues and you might even walk away with an exclusive blind box!

Adding to the excitement, the show’s cast - Vernetta Lopez, Pierre Png, Norman Ishak, Alawdin Ali, Sheryl Ang and Erika Maguicay, will be making appearances throughout the festival.

And because this is a Peranakan celebration after all, there will also be live cooking demonstrations, including a special session where the cast teams up with Peranakan chef Nyonya Shirley Tay of Dapor Diva to cook the iconic dish ayam buah keluak.

Now that’s a cooking show worth watching ~~~

Food, Kueh, and More Food

No Peranakan celebration would be complete without incredible food.

Throughout the festival, Armenian Street will be filled with tempting aromas from culinary pop-ups and live demonstrations.  Youcan catch renowned chefs and community cooks sharing recipes and stories behind traditional dishes passed down through generations.

One of the most charming food experiences this year is “Kueh & Kopi: A Kueh Picnic.” Guests can gather with friends to enjoy a specially curated box of colourful kueh created by chefs from the Allspice Institute, paired with drinks from suns Living Room. The picnic set even comes with exclusive Peranakan Museum merchandise which makes a sweet little souvenir from the celebration.

Elsewhere along the street, food trucks and dessert stalls will keep hungry visitors happy. Old Chang Kee’s “O’ My Darling” food truck will be serving up local favourites, while the Sweet Spot dessert pop-up offers traditional Peranakan sweets that bring back nostalgic flavours of home.

If you’re feeling adventurous, you can also join cooking demonstrations featuring dishes from different cultural communities - from Arab okra stew to banana-tree inspired culinary creations.

Dress Up, Play Games and Learn Baba Malay

Beyond food and performances, the Armenian Street Party also offers plenty of interactive experiences that make the festival feel like a giant cultural playground.

You can slip into colourful kebayas and batik outfits at the Baba Nyonya Dress-Up booth, strike a pose, and print out the photo as a keepsake.

If you’re curious about language and poetry, members of Baba Gabra will be creating personalised pantuns — traditional Baba Malay poems — on the spot, complete with English translations.

As evening falls, Armenian Street transforms into an open-air stage for storytelling and performances.

Across three evenings, the performances explore themes of love, rivalry, tradition, and identity, reminding us that heritage is not just history, but something that continues to evolve with every generation.

A Celebration of Community

What makes the Armenian Street Party truly special is how many different communities come together to make it happen.

This year’s festival is presented in partnership with organisations such as the Peranakan Association Singapore, Gunong Sayang Association, the Peranakan Indian (Chitty Melaka) Association of Singapore, and Arab Network @ SingaporeThe result is a celebration that reflects the beautifully diverse cultural influences that shape Peranakan heritage.

Whether you come for the food, the performances, the crafts, or simply the festive atmosphere, this annual celebration offers a rare chance to experience Peranakan culture in a lively and interactive way. And if you happen to leave with a box of kueh in one hand and a personalised pantun in the other… well, that’s just part of the Armenian Street Party magic!
