[What's New] Get Slim & Look Young Like JLo With LPG Endermospa Now In Singapore!

Hi Huneybees,

Wendy Ho, CEO, Mary Chia Holdings Ltd with Valentin Gitto, COO Asia at LPG Systems at the Official Opening of the first LPG Endermospa in Singapore

With having served A-Listers - Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Lopez and Shu Qi at the Cannes Film Festival and being a leader in cell stimulation for nearly 30 years, LPG Endermospa from France have been providing natural, non-invasive slimming and anti-aging treatments at exclusive spa centres in over 10 countries.

This amazing technology is now available in Singapore. All thanks to Mary Chia Holdings, we can now enjoy the infamous  patented Cellu M6® technology that LPG offers. You can have skin-friendly beauty treatments that have no side effects and all this started in 1985 when founder - Louis Paul Guitay got in a car accident.

It left him in the need of physical therapy and after going through numerous massage sessions, he realised the inconsistencies in manual massages that led to unreliable results. He then decided to take matters into his own hands and created a machine that was able to mimic the massage movements performed by professional therapists. 

Valentin Gitto, COO Asia at LPG Systems, explaining to the VIP and media the patented technology behind LPG Endermospa 

This machine made an incredible difference in his healing process. The regular use of this mechanical stimulated massage also strengthened his connective tissues, muscles and skin. His doctors also observed a reduction in cellulite and his skin became tauter, leading to the birth of Endermologie® - the science of cell stimulation by LPG.

At the opening of  the first-ever LPG Endermospa in Singapore, I got to see the new body Endermologie® at work. It is the only technique that boosts the release of natural stubborn fat by 70%*, where the treatment head is equipped with independent motorised rollers (a LPG® patent).

Using the roll and lift technique (a pleasant and non-aggressive technique), the skin is gently pulled using three directions of rotation (depending on the desired objectives). The various folds treat different types of tissue, including cellulite, adipose, edematous, fibrous, adherent, inflammatory, thin, fragile, and relaxed tissue.

Then the new Ergolift treatment head (patented by LPG in 2013) uses two-dimensional stimulation—vertical and horizontal - to send a wave through the tissue and gently stimulate the skin. Depending on the lift pulsation rate and the chosen suction sequentiality, the Ergolift head creates a targeted, multi-dimensional stimulation at varying skin depths to accomplish specific aesthetic and therapeutic goals (e.g. release fat, drain, fill wrinkles, redensify skin, firm, oxygenate or defibrosis).

This mechanical stimulation on the surface of the skin allows the machine tosend a signal deep down to the cells (ex: fat cells and fibroblasts) and provoke a physiological response (ex: activation of collagen and elastin production or activation of lipolysis), thus able to enhance the curves of the figure and firm the skin. This is also able to apply of the face skin, increasing the natural synthesis of hyaluronic acid by 80%*.

'Meet-The-Filmmaker-&-Cast of Sandcastle' Event

Hi Huneybees,

Last weekend I won a competition on InCinemas.sg's Facebook page and got a chance to Meet and Greet the Director and Lead actor of the movie "Sandcastle".

I received a free DVD for winning, full with the Director's (Boo Junfeng and Lead Actor's (Joshua Tan)signatures.

Here's some pictures from the event that day. More can be found on my Facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/media/set/fbx/?set=a.10150157651666254.286047.566861253.

Finally actor, Joshua Tan arrives. He came back from London for this event.

I got Joshua to sign on my DVD for me...

Yipee! Thanks InCinemas.sg, Boo Junfeng and Joshua Tan.

I took so long to write this blog entry because I wanted to watch the movie first before giving you guys my review. The synopsis:

Just prior to 18-year-old En’s mandatory enlistment into the Singaporean army, a series of events and disclosures threatens to alter his world view forever. The taste of his first romance, the death of his grandfather, his grandmother’s worsening Alzheimer’s disease, his schoolteacher mother’s affair with an uptight military commander, and En’s newfound awareness of his late father’s student activist past all contribute to his decision to reevaluate the pieces of his life before they are erased by the tides of time.

Sandcastle was screened during the Critics’ Week in the 2010 edition of the Cannes Film Festival and this was the first thing that got me attracted to this movie. Sandcastle is a family drama in which En’s relationships with his mother and grandparents are explored. The first tragedy happened when En's grandfather passed away abruptly before they are able to make their planned trip to Johor.

Without anyone to care for his Grandma who is suffering from Alzheimer, En and his mum (starring Elena Chia) decides to bring her home to take care of her and the plot thickens as more complications took place such as En getting into a relationship with a girl, Ying next door and started having sex (which disgusted his mum); his mum is having a relationship with a “grand colonel” which En disapproves of and En finding out that his dad was actually a student leader in the Communist protests in the 1950s and more.

I think what kept me glued to the screen was that the Director, Boo Junfeng, kept the movie close to everyone's heart and most of the stories were close to what he experienced. He started making the movie about Alzheimer, which his grandmother was suffering.

I witnessed my grandmother’s memory deteriorating with dementia, how it turned her into a different person during her moments of delirium, and how it affected the dynamics of my family. The original story was aimed at addressing that pain, and the moral dilemmas associated with caring for an aged family member in Singapore. However, my grandmother passed away shortly after I had finished the first draft. While dealing with her demise, it felt impossible to continue with the original thread. I decided then to shift the focus thematically away from the illness and the pain it caused, to the idea of memory, and how transient and mutable both personal memory and social memory can be. --- Boo Junfeng

I guess for local films, people tend to compare to Jack Neo's or Roystan Tan's films where everyone rants about ERP and darker sides of Singapore were made into jokes or even just pure entertainment with song and dance.

I find that Sandcastle has more depth, drama and feeling evoked while conveying the many faces of Singapore through this movie. This movie carries some universal traits that can communicate to an average Singaporean or a French lady amidst the audience in Cannes.

The movie hits a lot of right notes and is definitely one of the better local movies that I have watched so far.  It's definitely worth the trip to get the DVD and watch the movie at least once. And this DVD is the first time I see in a local DVD that they included Director's thoughts and also segments of the behind the scenes.

 You can also see an interview done by a lady called Rui-An with the director here: http://opencontours.wordpress.com/2010/09/06/nationhood-and-history-a-conversation-with-boo-junfeng/. It's very much what was dicussed in the 'Meet-The-Filmmaker-&-Cast of Sandcastle' Event and I was very happy that I was part of the event, which made me understand what's behind the movie more and tear more *SHHH*....

Muahz, 

Christina aka Huney
