'Lo Hei' With Children Of All Races at Singapore Flyer

Hi Huneybees,

On a warm sunny Saturday, I was at Singapore Flyer celebrating Chinese New Year with over 40 underprivileged children from Kreta Ayer - Kim Seng Children and Teens Community Hub (CATCH) Programme.

The children were all dressed in traditional Chinese clothings and they also learnt about the Spring Festival traditions and practices at the Singapore Flyer alongside special guest - Dr Lily Neo - MP of Tanjong Pagar GRC .

Dr Lily Neo, MP of Tanjong Pagar GRC together with Mr Vincent Koh, founder of the Singapore Feng Shui Centre, sounding the Lucky Gong for good luck.

All of them enjoyed the Singapore Flyer ‘Lo Hei’ flight hosted by the iconic attraction’s CEO Patsy Ong and her Finnish World Cup Champion bowler husband, Tom Hahl.

"Involving the children from the CATCH Programme in the Chinese New Year celebrations by Singapore Flyer allows them to learn more about the traditions and practices of Chinese New Year and provides them the opportunity to experience the Singapore Flyer. Promoting social cohesion and racial harmony require collaborative efforts from our educators, students, parents and corporates. Singapore Flyer is commendable in its efforts in organising this event as part of their corporate social responsibility programme." --- Dr Lily Neo

While on board the World’s Largest Giant Observation Wheel, the lucky children had the
opportunity to ‘Lo Hei’ in the sky. Singapore Feng Shui centre founder, Mr Vincent Koh, shared stories with them about various Chinese New Year traditions and customs such as the significance of the reunion dinner.

The already ecstatic children squealed with excitement when Ms Patsy Ong and Mr Tom Hahl handed them personal ang pows with mandarin oranges.

After disembarking the Singapore Flyer, the children sang and skipped all the way to the
Singapore Flyer VIP lounge. They shared spirited stories with their parents who also took a
flight onboard the Singapore Flyer.

Fullhouse Cafe Singapore Grand Opening

Hi Huneybees,

I first visited the Singapore branch of the Fullhouse Theme Cafe during my Wedding's 1st Anniversary. And recently, I was invited to their Grand Opening and I was surprised to find some new changes to the cafe, more decorations and the cafe felt so much more like home ~

 

A vintage Aston Martin Mini Cooper Classic pulls up at the front porch, a warm Victorian-inspired house, evergreen furniture in shades of cream and white, a collection of fine wine, photography and art pieces...

 As you stroll in the front porch, you are greeted warmly at the Tony's Party Room, with cozy lighting, tastefully done-up photographic pieces and a bar top facing a lush courtyard.

Yes, this is not fantasy - Fullhouse Theme Cafe has them all packed in at the Rendezvous Hotel Gallery, with the Fullhouse family, Daddy Thomas, Mummy Tracy, Children - Tiffani and Tony, as well as pet dog Toy as hosts.

How can me and my friends miss taking photos together at such a beautiful place right?

With CEO, Ace Chng, such a joyful man.

Official opening with the gracing of Lion Dance performance.

Huat Ah!

Up the flight of stairs, be pampered with Tracy's plush and romantically-decorated living/dining area with ministure plants, quirky clocks and plush sofas, and a bevy of "maids" waiting hand and foot while you dine on the host's delectable creations using the family's secret recipes.

And this day, Jen Su, our very own local designer got to have her clothes displayed in Tiffani's bedroom...

You are more tham welcome at Tiffani's delightful bedroom. Walk into an "all-girls" paradise for high tea. She would gladly shw her Spring/Summer purchase and her bed strewn with an eclectic collection of accessories. apparels and handbags!

Entertainment and parties are what keep the 5-Ts together. They do home movie screenings and host mini-concerts and events up to 70 in an entertainment room specially set up by Thomas.

Speech by Mr. Ace.

More of the Fullhouse family...

And on the Grand Opening, we got to hear the wonderful voices of Ms. Cheryl Wee, Singapore Idol finalist Mr. Gordrick Wong, and Ms. Elaine Lam.

A pic with the pretty Cheryl Wee. She reminds me so much of the TWINS.

Now Daddy would be busy every now and then with his business. Thomas has a study room where he meets up in private with his business associates and close aides. This is where he also keeps a myriad of fine wines and champagnes. He welcomes guests to sit in to enjoy quiet space for some deep thinking.

Fullhouse Theme Cafe brings new dimensions to the shopping and dining experience, with an edge in creating a dream home for all. It caters to Family Gatherings, High Tea Sessions, Shopping Thrills, Relaxing Meet-ups, Formal Meetings, Showcase of Artistic Talents - anything you desire can be done in The Dream House.

Psst, the iconic and adorable mascots of the 5-Ts - Thomas, Tracy, Tiffani and Tony will be touring  around Singapore, visitng the Singapore Flyer, Zoological Gardens, Bird Park, Merlion, and other major tourist sights, providing memorable photo opportunities for tourists.

Collaboration with Funnvee Hopper Bus will allow visitors to hop-off at the doorsteps of Fullhouse and enjoy the sumptuous food and delight in the plush cafe, view the wonderful photographic works and art creations of young, talented Singaporeans...
