| |
Hi Huneybees,


Aspiring singers and bands looking to make a breakthrough in Singapore will be happy to know that the Strepsils "The Right Note" Singing Competition is back for another run, along with a host of new prizes (worth over $25,000), partners and opportunities!



“The Right Note” singing competition is held nationwide to celebrate World Voice Day 2015, supporting the goals and dreams of budding singers looking to inspire with their vocals, and growing their confidence in the process.

The singing competition was launched yesterday at the Barber Shop by Timbre and brand ambassador - Olivia Ong performed a single from her repertoire “You and Me” during the event, serenading us with a piece of sunshine whilst it was pouring outside.



Just like the Strepsils Throat Lozenges, they soothes my sore throat everytime it feels dry. My favourite has got to be the Honey & Lemon one, soothing and enhanced with Vitamin C! Hehehe... that's also what Olivia recommends alongside her delicate care for her lovely voice.

Hi Huneybees,


Skechers Sundown Festival 2014 has just wrapped up last night, the 6 hours non-stop mash-up concert went way past over midnight and I'm still on a high from that. But before I share with you the lowdown of it, here's a brief flashback on what went down at the press conference the day before.

Regina Lin from China
WEAVER from Japan
Chang Chen Yue from Taiwan
Each artiste/group also autographed on specially made Skechers t-shirt, which will be up for auction. Each of them were excited to perform at the music festival and Singaporean food seemed to be a top favourite answer for each of them.


My girlfriends were all going gaga knowing that Korean boyband - CROSS GENE will be in town. Indeed, these 6




It was an amazing time, when one of my favourite Hong Kong artiste - Kate Tsui 徐子珊 was within distance from me. I was busy snapping away with pictures and I swear I was melting there as she spoke in fluent English with her piercing eyes.



Our very own singbird - Olivia Ong also made the time to fly back to Singapore to join the other Asian artistes in preparation for the Skechers Sundown Festival. The full list of performing artistes are as follows:

Full Line-Up featuring 16 music acts:

Welcome to Olivia Ong's Wonderland ~

Hi Huneybees,


After my giveaway for the past few days, it was time for me to catch the Wonderland Showcase of Olivia Ong. Last night at The Coliseum™, Hard Rock Hotel®, Resorts World Sentosa, Olivia Ong fans and members of the media were treated to a 2 hour treat by this pretty, homegrown songbird.



Olivia looked so adorable in her lacy white frock and brown boots. Paired with her beautiful voice, she was like a siren. She performed her own songs like "Let It Rain", "A Love Theme " and "海枯石爛", and she also performed songs that she personally like. 


She expressed that she like Eason Chen and Faye Wong, and so, she performed their songs - "好久不見" and "我愿意" Olivia also performed songs by Joni Mitchell, The Beatles and Foo Fighter.



Of course, the most anticipated song would have to be Simple Joys in Life (Wonderland)” the song that was specially created through a collaborative and creative journey with her fans. The song was so whimsical, something that hasn't been heard from Olivia and I love it! There was even an Asian twist to the tune of the song. Wana hear it? Here it is...


Well, you hear it first on Huney'Z World! Do you like the song as much as I do?


Olivia's family and friends were present to support her and amongst the crowd were artistes - Jessica Liu 刘子绚 and Koh Ya Hui 许雅慧. Everyone had a great time, mesmerized by Olivia's songs and everyone asked for an encore!



Thank you Samsung for the invitation!

Taiwan's Biggest Music Festival - 2013 Spring Wave Singapore Music Festival is coming!

0 comments
Hi Huneybees,


Yesterday, I had the honour to attend the 2013 Spring Wave Singapore Music Festival (2013 春浪音乐节) Press Conference. Spring Wave is annual event that has been held at the southern part of Taiwan, Kenting for the past 7 years. Each year the event attracted no less than 20000 concert goers with performances by the biggest names in the Mandopop industry, including Mayday (五月天), Eason Chen (陳奕迅) and our homegrown singer -  JJ Lin (林俊杰)


2013 Spring Wave Singapore Music Festival will be held on 4 May 2013 at The Meadow @ Gardens By The Bay.


Created by Friendly Dog Entertainment in honour of the celebration of peace, love and music during spring time, the spring Wave Music Festival steps out of Taiwan for the first time and have chosen Singapore to be the first overseas stop.



"We are excited to bring one of the most anticipated outdoor music festivals in Taiwan to Singapore for the very first time. This would not have been possible without the support of our presented, Tiger Beer. Besides performances by renowned Taiwan artistes, our audience at Tiger Beer presents Spring Wave Singapore 2013 will also have the chance to party with leading DJs late into the night." --- Mr Shen Guang Yuan, Chairman of Friendly Dog Entertainment Pte Ltd.



Tiger Beer Presents Spring Wave Singapore 2013 – Festival Line-up
The festival will kick-off with the Mandopop segment from 3pm to 10pm. The second segment of the festival will see The Meadow @ Gardens by the Bay transformed into a massive outdoor party venue for an Electronic Dance Music Segment known as Spring Wave Dance. From 11pm to 4am, widely-travelled and legendary German DJs ATB and Markus Schulz as well as established trance musician Jochen Miller from Holland will hit the decks to fuel the party with electronic bliss.

Left to Right: Mr Shen Guang Yuan (Chairman of Friendly Dog Entertainment Pte Ltd), Mr Chim Kang Chua (Editor of Lianhe Wanbao) and Mr Raymond Koh (Marketing Manager at Asia Pacific Breweries) toast to the success of 2013 Spring Wave Singapore

For the Singapore stop, we will have Indie queen Cheer Chen (陈绮贞) , rocker Wu Bai (伍佰), popster Jam Hsiao (萧敬腾), smoky-voiced Joanna Wang (王若琳), pop-rocker Zhang Zhen Yue/A-Yue (张震岳) and homegrown songbird Olivia Ong (王俪婷). 


And for the press conference, Zhang Zhen Yue/A-Yue (张震岳) and Joanna Wang (王若琳) made an appearance to share some fun facts and get "bombed" by the media. Watch the videos for the whole interview.



The unique element that differentiates Spring Wave from other outdoor concert is... Every artist gets to perform one full hour with their own band flown in from Taiwan. In another words, you only need to pay for one ticket to get access to 7 hours of LIVE mini concerts! That’s definitely a steal!




So come on down to Gardens by the Bay on 4th May for more screams!!!
