Behind the Scenes of Singapore’s Property Hustle: What Really Happens Before You Get Your Keys

| |
0 comments
Hi Huneybees,

If you’ve ever wondered what it really takes to thrive in Singapore’s fast-paced property market (beyond the glossy listings and perfectly staged homes), PropertyGuru’s new reality series - Home Run: Singapore, is about to spill the tea. And honestly? After watching what these agents go through… I’m not sure I’d survive past Episode 1.

Coming back this November with a refreshed format, bigger cast and tougher challenges, Home Run: Singapore transforms the everyday work of real estate agents into a high-stakes, reality-TV-style obstacle course. Let’s break down the madness.


Unpredictable Challenges That Would Make Anyone Sweat

Across five episodes, 14 real estate agents are thrown into a whirlwind of surprise client briefs, unexpected curveballs, and real-world property scenarios — all designed to test their instincts, creativity, and nerves of steel. Think you can handle a last-minute change in a client’s wishlist? Or pivot instantly when a viewing goes off-script? Or connect with someone who still isn’t sure what they’re actually looking for?

These agents aren’t just selling homes — they're part therapist, part strategist, part negotiator, and sometimes even magician. Watching them navigate each challenge really makes you appreciate how much unseen effort goes into helping Singaporeans find “the one”. And because every scenario mirrors the chaos of real-life property transactions, the whole thing starts feeling like a personality quiz come to life.

Quick thinking?
People skills?
Market knowledge?
Staying calm when things get weird (like when a seller’s cat refuses to come out of the bedroom)?

Watching the contestants scramble, strategise, and occasionally panic made me wonder… What would MY score be if I were thrown into this? I’m pretty sure my strength would be staging (hello, aesthetic queen ✨), but negotiation? Hmm… I’d probably lose a round to a very determined auntie. Maybe I should create a fun quiz for all of us when the show premieres!


The Hosts Bringing the Fun (and Chaos)

Guiding us through the madness are social personalities SneakySushii and Dewy Choo, who add the perfect blend of humour and relatability. Their commentary feels like watching the show with your funniest friends - the ones who point out the drama before you even catch it.

Returning champ Claire Tan joins as a resident judge, bringing sharp insight and that “I’ve been in your shoes” perspective. Each episode also features rotating industry experts, so contestants are constantly evaluated through fresh lenses.


What’s at Stake? More Than Just Bragging Rights

The winning agent walks away with $11,000 in PropertyGuru Credits which is a huge boost for visibility and business growth. Developer partners like SingHaiyi Group are also stepping in with additional prizes for standout performers who show grit, heart and exceptional spirit throughout the competition. This isn’t just entertainment, it’s a celebration of the passion behind Singapore’s property dreams.

Catch Home Run: Singapore starting 12 November 2025, airing every Wednesday at 9.30 PM on Channel 5, mewatch, and PropertyGuru’s YouTube channel. This marks PropertyGuru’s first official media partnership with Mediacorp, so expect lots of buzz across TV, radio, digital and social.

I’ve already watched the first two episodes — partly curious what a property reality show would turn out to be, and partly to see how many of those challenges I (and you!) would instantly crumble at. 😅 It may be a little dramatised at times, but honestly, it’s a fun and insightful watch for anyone house-hunting, scouting for a property agent, or even thinking of becoming one yourself!

A New Look For Zoe Tay At Madame Tussauds Singapore

| |
0 comments
Hi Huneybees, 


Six years ago, the MediaCorp Ah Jie Zoe Tay unveiled her wax figure at the grand opening of Madame Tussauds Singapore, and today 22 October 2020, she unveiled a new restyle for her wax twin. The figure originally created in 2014, is now wearing her signature look from Star Search Finals 2019, proudly sponsored by Versace.

"When Madame Tussauds reached out to me if I would like to change the look of my twin, I thought why not, and decided to go for this timeless look! I remember the sitting very clearly and how meticulous the wax making process was. It was a great surprise that I actually could get my hands on a small bit of the process of making a wax figure. It was unreal to see how hairs are actually inserted, it was definitely an eye-opening experience!" --- Zoe Tay

Her figure is a permanent figure in Singapore along with other homegrown stars and local personalities include JJ Lin, Stefanie Sun, former Prime Minister Mr. Lee Kuan Yew and his wife, film-maker Jack Neo and actor-host Gurmit Singh (Phua Chu Kang)

Madame Tussauds Singapore is also the home for many world leaders, sports legends, Bollywood & Hollywood celebs, and Marvel Super Heroes! The attraction continues adding new figures and experiences every year.



Besides seeing her restyled figure for the first time, Zoe also got her hands on a newly launched experience at Madame Tussauds called "Behind The Magic" where she tried out wax shaping, oil painting, and hair insertion!


Behind The Magic is a new 90-minute insider experience where you go behind the scenes with wax artists and try your hand at the magic required to make the world's greatest wax figures. Learn wax painting, hair insertion, and even take home your own wax souvenir! You can be a wax artist too!


You can book the experience online at Madame Tussauds' website, plan your trip in advance and use the SingaporeRediscover vouchers from December onwards. The attraction is certified SG Clean, so it is a safe place to visit. Madame Tussauds Singapore is based on Imbiah Lookout, Sentosa.

Romeo Tan & Andrea Chong Launched The SK-II Facial Treatment Essence New Phoenix Limited Edition Today

| |
Hi Huneybees,



I've MIA for awhile coz the virus, the hideous cough and flu bug have gotten to me. Don't you just hate those drowsy meds that knocks you way out, that even the world's most annoying alarm clock could never wake you up?

Everyday, I wake up telling myself I have to write a post after lunch but I just can't bring myself to even turn on the computer after downing the meds. Well, thankful for the ample rest though, I was up and about today just in time for SK-II's very first Chinese New Year Limited Edition - the SK-II Facial Treatment Essence New Phoenix Limited Edition.


The bottle is embellished with the traditional paper cutting "剪纸" design of a beautiful resurrection of a phoenix, which symbolizes auspicious harmony. Tying along with the SK-II #changedestiny campaign, the New Phoenix Limited Edition was designed to "call out" our inner phoenixes, to inspire women and their loved ones to bring in the new spring with hope and confidence, and encourage them to believe in themselves, take hold of their destinies, and join hands with SK-II to embark in a new journey to crystal clear skin and welcome a beautiful new year.


At the launch today, attention was stolen by Duke of Caldecott, Romeo Tan as he joined Andrea Chong on stage for a quick interview on their views of CNY, how they prepare for CNY as well as writing their very own CNY couplets (春联) to decorate their homes.



Romeo stealing some tips whilst Andrea tries her hand at calligraphy.
Romeo as his charming self mentioned that not only using SK-II products helps prep his skin for CNY, he also recommended the 7-glasses-of-water-a-day regime, so that you can "shine" during CNY period with glowing, natural, beautiful skin!




I bet his Juliet-s will be asking for that couplet for their homes.
So, give the gift of everlasting crystal clear skin this Chinese New Year with the SK-II Facial Treatment Essence New Phoenix Limited Edition. It will make great gifts alongside the angbao-s for mummy dearest, so pop on down to the SK-II counters to purchase! 
Here's the deal available at when you purchase SK-II products at TANGS Orchard...

Gong Xi Fa Cai and have an great Monkey Year!

[What's New] Sexy Constance Song 宋怡霏 And Forever Dashing Li Nanxing 李南星 Unveiled Their Age-Reversal Secrets

| |
Hi Huneybees,



They may be veteran celebrities on TV but Li Nanxing 李南星 and Constance Song 宋怡霏 have defied the passage of time and continue to look dashing and sexy respectively when they made appearance recently at Wisma Atria Singapore to share their secrets to maintaining their youth.


Constance Song shared how MU V.TIVATE mist spray helps lifts and hydrates her skin

Li Nanxing shared the benefits of consuming MU MIEUX Collagen
Unveiled as the new ambassadors of the MU V.TIVATE and MU MIEUX Collagen products, by Mary Chia, Li Nanxing and Constance Song linked their secret of taking years off their actual age for the very first time these two beauty solutions.



The revolutionary MU V.TIVATE is the first-ever mist spray that lifts and hydrates skin within 10 minutes. The mist spray does four key functions: 

  • Lift
  • Hydrate
  • Regeneration
  • UV Defense

The spray is made with a secret formulation using ingredients from France, which boosts its anti-ageing properties. According to a recent survey, participants who used MU V.TIVATE experience instant lifting and increased hydration level of up to 30% within minutes.

I've put the mist spray to the test with half of my face and within minutes, my face is already lifted on the side with the mist. Hydration level was increased by 10% and it was instant Photoshop right on the spot, withut having to use any special mobile apps to give your face the V-lift!


MU MIEUX Collagen is a nutritional dietary supplement that is formulated with BHN (Marine) low molecular peptide collagen, enriched with ceramide and apple extract to help nourish skin from within. It also combats photo-ageing by retaining moisture as well as preventing DNA damage and the deepening of wrinkles. It contains Co-Q10 as well as vitamins C and E to bring about enhanced skin hydration, elasticity and luminosity. Boost your immunity system and get beautiful skin by drinking up — it’s that easy!    

Lucky fans got the celebrities' autographs during the event


I would like to take this opportunity to wish all my Singaporean Huneybees a Happy National Day and the rest, CHEERS to a healthier living!
