The Influence Of Athletics Spirit Of DC Justice League Superheroes

Hi Huneybees,

Flash! Batman! Superman! These are my childhood American Superheroes that I used to depend on to fight my fear with the dark during bedtime at night!

 

Twenty years on, these DC Justice League heroes may be sitting in my display closet as collectable figures but their importance didn't diminish as their present often brings back fond remembrances of my childhood playtime, helping me to better manage my work-life stress in adulthood.

 On the sunny morning of 30th August 2015, the force of DC Justice League gathered all DC Comics fans to Sentosa for a 5km fun run.  

 

More than 5000 runners turned up for the event donning the colour of their supported superheroes from the core line-up of the race - Superman (Blue), Batman (Grey), Wonder Woman (Yellow), Green Lantern (Green) or Flash (Red) - injecting additional favor to the funfare!

With an average finisher nett time of 31 mins 10 secs, it was heartening to learn that fans of DC Justice League are leading a healthy lifestyle in the athletics spirit of these Superheroes!

Let's look forward to more activities from DC Justice League on top of this successful event!

The Battle Of The Twin Brothers - TOYOTA ALPHARD VS TOYOTA VELLFIRE

Hi Huneybees,

On 12th June 2015, Borneo Motors Singapore has unveiled the 3rd generation Toyota Alphard, together for the first time in Singapore, its twin brother - Toyota Vellfire in a huge hanger located in Seletar Aerospace View.

A choice between 2 brothers, the black or the white, which side are you one? Which side will you be standing on?

Toyota Alphard

Toyota Vellfire

These 2 twin brothers - Alphard and Vellfire are developed by Toyota to incorporate luxurious saloon space with sophisticated interiors, improved handling, stability for the most comfortable ride, whilst getting you from Point A to Point B.

Established as Toyota's flagship Multi-Purpose Vehicle (MPVs), the twins are identical in all aspect underneath the metal chassis, with Toyota Alphard positioned as the elegance of the twins while Toyota Vellfire is designed with a sense of bold and edginess.

Both equipped with the new 2.5L Dual VVT-i engine, you can get them in three variants: Alphard Standard, Alphard Elegance and Vellfire Elegance.

Toyota Vellfire Passenger's Luxurious Power-Operated Leather Seat

Personally, my first impression of this 7-seater MPV twins is comfort. It is not just in terms of the interior space (good for long haul passenger ride to Malaysia, which I really like), but also the quality of the materials used / finishing for the interior cabin, such as the high-end trimmed leather seat that wraps and contours around my body comfortably, as though my very own Baymax. Hehehehe!.

Toyota Alphard Rear Passenger's Luxurious Power-Operated Leather Seat

Of cause, it helps with the fact that all seats are power-operated for ease-of-use (in the Elegance grades) and Tri-Zone Independent Automatic air conditioning system that allows the driver, front and rear passengers to have the privilege to control their preferred temperatures autonomously.

If I would to choose between the twins, I would go for Toyota Alphard as it has that "Transformers" look over the "Bat mobile" that I find in Toyota Vellfire.

Doesn't The Toyota Alphard Looks Like A Transformer In Disguise?

And the Toyota Vellfire Lookings Like A Bat Mobile?

So, which of the twins would you pick?

Are you a Toyota Alphard lover like me too?
