It's National Day and you can join in the fun even though you didn't get the tickets to the National Day Parade (NDP) 2023. Here's a list of fringe activities where you can also celebrate Singapore's 58th year of independence...

If you are looking forward to catching the spectacular aerial displays by the Red Lions and amazing fireworks at Padang, you can head over early to popular locations like The Esplanade Bridge, Helix Bridge, Fullerton Hotel, or even the lawn outside Asian Civilisation Museum and Victoria Concert Hall.

Immerse In The Beauty of 4K With SONY BRAVIA

Hi Huneybees,

Last week, SONY unveiled its latest BRAVIA television - the SONY BRAVIA KD-84X9000.  At 84" (3840 x 2160) LCD, it's the largest & highest-resolution TV yet. With entertainment this grand, you're not just watching, you're experiencing it. The 4K Resolution generates 4 times more detail than Full HD TVs, for super life-like picture quality.  

At a showroom, I was given the full SONY BRAVIA KD84X9000 experience.

Me and the media sat on this special platform and everyone was in awe when the platform turned 180° to reveal the magnificent TV.

This new 4K TV comes equipped with a 4K LCD panel comprising app. 8.29 megapixels, 4x the resolution of Full HD standard and incorporates "4K X-reality PRO", SONY's super-resolution high picture quality engine optimised for the 4K TV.

A short explanation of 4K.

This engine is capable of reproducing a variety of content with different resolutions, such as HD digital broadcasts or Blu-ray discs content, into stunningly crisp, high-quality images with 4K resolution.

Bigger doesn't mean distortion...

Viewers will not be bothered by the pixels and notice instead that images are breathtakingly realistic and beautifully clear with the wide 60-degree viewing angle, even if they sit as much as half the distance to the screen, as compared to when viewing Full HD (for which a distance equal to 3x the screen height is recommended).

Now it's time to try the TV and immerse in the 4K world.

On both sides of the TV, stand "10 Unit Live Speaker" side speaker system, which is optimised for this large-size screen and SONY's unique high-quality sound signal-processing technology achieves powerful 3D sound, enveloping the viewer in position-orienting tones, from deep bass to high notes.

You have to be there to see it LIVE! The colours are just beautiful and the detailing is amazing!

See this newspaper article? The black is super black and white is glaringly white.

Check out the details! Super small print is still viewable on the SONY BRAVIA  KD-84X9000! 

In addition to the high quality sound, is the 3D experience with 4K. Amazing sharp images and colours made everything look like they are just right before your eyes, reach out and you can grab them. (Hehehehe...).

Passive 3D also means the accompanying 3D glasses are lighter and more comfortable, requiring no batteries.

This is like one of the Mission Impossible glasses!

Compared to the conventional glasses, the newly improved pair of lighter and more comfortable.

The next feature is one of my favourite - Simulview. When 2 players are competing in a car racing game, isn't it distracting having to always see the other players' car, distracting you? 

With the special labelled glasses, you can race in peace and just see your own car when racing. It's like your very own F1 experience!

Furthermore, PlayMemories Studio, a special PlayStation software, enables users to organise and playback high resolution photographs with ease and comfort on the KD-84X9000. Going forward, SONY aims to offer new television viewing styles by continuing to provide these kinds of new consumer experiences.

Lunch was prepared by the chef consultant of Fullerton Hotel - Mr Ryan Hong. he has many LIVE cook show experiences and have published books. He was such a sunny and fun-loving guy!

I made new friends as well - Spencer and Rosalind. Welcome to Huney'Z World!

The KD-84X9000 will retail for S$35,999 at selected SONY stores such as SONY Store Isetan Orchard and authorised outlets from early January 2012 onwards...
