Snap and Print Your Fond Memories With LG PC389 Pocket Photo Snap

| |
Hi Huneybees,


Retro vibes are back in trend with the new LG PC389 Pocket Photo Snap hybrid instant camera and portable printer. Built like a traditional analog camera with a regular optical viewfinder and a sturdy outer case, combined with printing functions allows you to create memories on the go.



Available in pink and blue, the device is endorsed by the hottest K-pop group in the market now - BTS. It fits snuggly for a firm grip and effortlessly connects to a smartphone and PC tablet via Bluetooth to print photos taken by other devices within 45 seconds (Android and iOS) to produce good quality photos prints out thanks to its five million pixel resolution and 30 image printing capacity on a charged device. 


Finished photos can go in a wallet or in a neat frame on an office desk or bedside. You can even use it for your scrapbooking!



With the Pocket Photo app, you can easily and conveniently edit and enhance the pictures in the device prior to printing, there's even a black and white mode to suit the retro vibe of the camera! and with a simple press of a button, you can print multiple of the same photo instantly.


Fond memories can be preserved as the device prints moments exactly as you took them through the same printing process favored by most professional photo printers. Most other instant cameras use “zero ink” technology that prints all colors at once, a process that often blurs images. 


But for the Pocket Photo Snap, it uses Dye-sublimation to deliver superior quality with rich colors and great clarity for an enriching and unforgettable photographic experience. You can keep your memories exactly the way you see it. 


A major flaw with print photos is their deterioration over time, but for the first time for an instant camera, photos printed with Pocket Photo Snap receive a transparent coating to protect against humidity and age. The coating prevents smudging of colors or degradation even if the photos get wet, thus preserving these cherished moments in a pristine and crisp state for a long time.


Precious memories are better if they’re bigger and more visible, and the Pocket Photo Snap delivers on this end. Previous models of instant cameras delivered small prints but the Pocket Photo Snap produces photos that are 50 percent bigger than that of a traditional 1.8 x 2.4 inch Polaroid. 


Still, the attractive pastel-toned device is compact enough to fit almost anywhere and is also the only instant camera on the market that can produce black-and-white photos without the need for a separate ink cartridge. It even comes with a flash, so that you can get great photos even in low lighting! 


The LG Pocket Photo Snap retails at S$259 and is available in two colours – Blue or Pink at authorised LG retailers. The photo paper cost S$29 per set and each print is 2.5” x 3.7” in size. For more information visit the official website.

Hi Huneybees,


Yipee! More brands coming in to Singapore = Happy Huney!

kapok TOOLS (Ranking Top 5 "fashion insiders" shopping destination in Hong Kong by CNN) has landed in Singapore and is now available at PlayLab, Tangs Orchard level 4. With exquisite eye for exploring newness, sensitivity for l'air du temps and above all, acquired taste for the unpretentious, the shops are widely recognized as the alternative wunderkind in Hong Kong retail scene.


kapok founder Arnault Castel attented the launch party, and after a casual opening speech, he elucidated the philosophy behind kapok TOOLS and the brand's entrance into Singapore market. Arnault also gave some insights on the brand selection at kapok TOOLS, as every single brand at the store was personally picked from all over the world, because of their exclusivity and also unique and care about the quality and design.



Arnault was borned and raised in France, and he first developed kapok in 2006 to add some "colours' to the bland Hong Kong scene. He is now the also the head of Southeast Asian operations for Lomography based in Hong Kong as well as the co-owner and director of Working Unit Limited, the exclusive distributor for Moleskine in Southeast Asia.



Known for it focus on designer and brands that reflects an attitude towards quality craftsmanship and creativity in design, kapok TOOLS corner at the PlayLab presents a well-curated selection, that will be updated monthly, so that you can get new updated products...



I was tickled to know the brand of these bags is called "Harrison Fold".


kapok TOOLS brand selection includes emerging brands such as Uniform Wares, Sandqvist, Teddyfish, Mismo, Andrea Garland, IZOLA, Red brick and Mischa among many others and guests could experience the unique materials and craftsmanship.



Ladies, you would definitely fall in love with these lip balm necklaces and brooches...


kapok derives from the majestic emergent trees of the same name. The trees grow tall in their ecosystem, branching out to provide a home for plants and animals dependent on nourishment and exposure. kapok also provides a unique roof under which people in the community can meet and find inspiring quality goods concept further extending to Southeast Asia.



Some of the brands available in Singapore includes Commune de Paris 1871 (Men's Label), Mismo (Bags) and Astier De Villatte (Home). However, it was this mesh bracelets and rings from 19-10-88 that caught my eyes. they're so colourful and so easy to match with our daily clothings...

SingPost's Post-A-Card App

| |
Hi Huneybees,


Don't you get so irritated when the only thing you receive in your mailboxes are just letters and letters of bills, asking you to say "Sayonara" to your money by the end of the month? Well, SingPost has cleverly launched a new app - Post-A-Card, that turns that photos you take with your mobile phones into postcards from anywhere in the world!


The Post-a-Card mobile application can be downloaded free of charge from iTunes App Store or Google Play. After the initial download, customers can access the postcard application anytime. It will cost S$1.90 per card if sent within Singapore, and S$2.50 if sent to anywhere else in the world. Customers can pay using credit cards, Pay Pal or prepaid credits.

At the media launch, the postcards were hung in very pretty hanging mobiles. Not only it is a joy to receive postcards, it's also a nice deco idea. The 4 inch x 6 inch high quality glossy postcard is printed and delivered by SingPost to the addressee either in Singapore or anywhere in the world.

Postcards, as distinct from letters, were first used in Austria from around 1869, to provide a cheap means for brief communications. The first postcards were just plain cards, with the address to be written on one side and the message on the other, and could only be issued by the Post Office with a pre-printed 'stamp'. In 1894, the British postal authorities amended their regulations to allow private postcards to be despatched at the same inexpensive rate. This paved the way to the widespread introduction of illustrated postcards, and subsequently, photo postcards.


With mobile devices gaining popularity in today’s fast changing world, SingPost’s latest mobile initiative, Post-a-Card, merges the old and new means of communication via the new mobile technology to create the personalised and warm touch. Post-a-Card, a new free mobile application on iPhone and Android, allows consumers to send picture-perfect postcards from and to anywhere in the world from their smartphones, while SingPost prints and delivers the cards right to your doorstep.

Dr Wolfgang Baier, CEO of SingPost introducing Post-A-Card to us.
I did an introduction video to explain how the app works...



How Post-a-Card Works
Using the Post-a-Card app is easy:
- First, download and install the free Post-a-Card app from the Apple iTunes App Store or Google Play
- Then, take a photo using your mobile phone’s camera or select one from your photo gallery or Facebook album.
- Next, choose your postcard template, customise your message and add the delivery address.
- Finally, pay with your credit card, Pay Pal or prepaid credits.
- SingPost will then print your card and deliver it to your intended recipient in Singapore or overseas.

To encourage the public to reconnect with personal mail, SingPost is giving the first Post-A-
Card free (For a limited time only).

A couple of weeks ago, we attended the launch party by SingPost to thank their customers for their support.

Hehehe... hubby sneakily snapped a pic of me...
