Timberland Celebrates Its 40 Years With The Workshop At Vivocity

Hi Huneybees,

Timberland® recently held The Workshop to commemorate its 40th anniversary at VivoCity. Depicted as the modern day version of the original Timberland® Factory, the event pays tribute to Timberland’s heritage of quality craftsmanship while also exploring interpretations of craftsmanship by the millennial generation of today as well as celebrating the “Best Then, Better Now” of the brand.

The event was attended by over 100 guests, including members of the media, fashion stylists and guests of Timberland® Singapore. Well-known personalities including stage thespian - Adrian Pang, television host - Oli Pettigrew, award winning local filmmaker - Royston Tan, Y.E.S 933 DJ - Xie Jia Fa, fashion director - Daniel Boey as well as up and coming actor - Xu Bin were amongst the invited guests.

At the event, not only were we treated to a fashion show, the guests were also given a chance to step into the world of 3 local artisans and craftsmen - Mark Ong from the international cult creative label SBTG (Sabotage), Tyrwhitt General Company and accomplished artist Khor Tuck Kuan. 

Symbolizing peace and love, the Project Soar was a partnership of Timberland and Christian Outreach to the Handicapped (COH), with Khor Tuck Kuan conceptualizing the cutting out of plastic doves from recycled milk bottles. It is an art installation made with love and guests could also write their well wishes to "soar" with the doves...

Other than that, guests were able to partake in activities involving traditional craft-making such as silk-screening and leather stamping, bringing home their very own recycle bag and leather tags...

Mark Ong also gave a live demonstration by drawing the finishing touches of his design on a pair of specially commission Yellow Boots, I also got my very own Yellow Boot drawn by the artists, which you might have already seen it on my Instagram....

The artists have came up with 4 designs, it took me awhile to decide, but I chose the trees. Nothing beats hiking in nature everyday yeah?

That's the miniature thumbdrive. Cute right?!

Hosted by Travel/TV host Henry Golding, the upbeat crowd was introduced to Timberland’s storied past and future plans by Ms. Olga Wu, Timberland’s General Manager of Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia. Sharing the history of the iconic Yellow Boot and on the brand’s evolution from a New England boot maker to global leader in stylish and sustainable fashion, she also introduced Timberland’s current Best Then Better Now Campaign which incorporates the Style, Performance and Green (SPG) principle which the brand uses in all aspects of its products and environmental values.

Valuable fashion tips were then given by appointed “Style Foreman”, style icon Lionnel Lim, on how to complement and customise Timberland® boots to develop one’s own unique style. The highly anticipated fashion show was next where models walked down on a “grass” runway in Timberland® latest Fall/Winter 2013 Collection. Clad in stylish leather and outdoor jackets, sweaters and parkas, the outfits were complemented with classic Timberland® footwear, showcasing a blend of urban sophistication and rugged outdoor appeal.

Sony Uphoria - Train

Hi Huneybees,

Here's part 2 of Sony Uphoria, it was Train's turn to conquer the stage and take the fans on a choo choo train ride ~

Oli Pettigrew was amongst the fans on the other stage having a little game time with fans while the stage gets prepared for Train to board...

I also looked around snapping photos while waiting...

I didn't manage to take much photos as cam batt was running low. But I did try to take as much video as possible. Check out my Youtube Channel here for the videos.

Patrick Monahan signed on the guitar he was playing on and everyone went crazy, thinking he might give to one of the fans. But it seems otherwise.

Train's performance was amazing. They even did a number with "Don't Stop Believing" with Mike Posner (See my youtube) and performed "Marry Me" with Patrick coming down to the fans to shake hands and take photos with. Michelle was one of the lucky fan, but turns out, the photo was a blur image of the fans...

Some lucky fans were asked to go on stage for a little performance and they got signed t-shirts in return!

3 hours passed super quickly and Train bowed and did their thank-you-s and we all left singing "Marry Me", reminiscing the moments Train and Mike Posner had on stage.

The  guitar was given out eventually, but it got the fans fighting for it, until the security guard had to come in and work it out...

Had a little drink and supper with the babes. We did too much screaming already.... :)

 Thank you SONY, Train and Mike Posner. You guys rock!

Sony Uphoria - Mike Posner

Hi Huneybees,

It was pouring on Saturday, but no one can stop Mike Posner and Train fans from turning up at the Sony Uphoria event. A huge tent at the back of *Scape was erected and sweet people of Sony had umbrellas ready for us to pick us up from Curious Teepee and the whole place inside was air-conditioned, so that we don't get too "heat up" in there....

We got to play with the Sony Tablet. Really neat gadget, love the elevated feature.

Was there with the babes, Peiyun and Michelle. Valentine got delayed by rain.

I'm a proud Sony Ericsson, Android owner, how can I miss out a pic with the Android Bot.

Spot any stars? I even got the chance to take a pic with the host, Oli Pettigrew. Cute right? Peiyun said he reminded her of Stephen Gately.

Check out the crowd! Everyone got there early to 'chope' their seats....

Just in case you are asking me who is Mike Posner? Read this: Michael Robert "Mike" Posner (born February 12, 1988) is an American singer, songwriter, and producer. Posner released his debut album, 31 Minutes to Takeoff, on August 10, 2010. The album includes the Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 single "Cooler Than Me," his second single, "Please Don't Go," as well as his third single, "Bow Chicka Wow Wow" featuring Lil Wayne.

 Ok, enough blabbling, let's welcome MIKE POSNER!

The opening number was a "Baby Please Don't Go" followed by "Cheated". He's energy was amazing! The moment he stepped onto the stage, he had fans screaming at the top of their voices and it didn't stop at all! I literally went temporary deaf there. All his songs were so catchy, everyone was singing to them, bouncing and screaming, it was madness!

I love hearing Mike Posner's voice, maybe coz it reminds me alot of Justin Timberlake? Both are talented at making songs, have their very own unique voices and play musical instruments. Hmmm, upcoming big star?

And at this moment, he took off his jacket and grabbed a teddy to give to one of his fan. Wonder was she robbed later? 

On the piano, he did a cover of Oasis's "Wonderwall" and he ever drummed to Adele's "Rolling in the Deep"!

Let's do the brain....

The big grand finale was Mike-y jumped onto the piano and start jumping, dancing, while performing "Cooler Than Me". It was super chaotic when he came down from stage to shake hands with the fans. I was almost 'stomped' to deaf. The video I was recording got interrupted, but well, I had fun!
