Woohoo! Pleasure lovers, Ice Cream Fanatics! You are in for a treat! MAGNUM SINGAPORE Pleasure Store opened at Clarke Quay’s Central Fountain Square this weekend. It also coincided with the launch of the new Magnum Pink (Marc de Champagne) and Magnum Black (Espresso) – two decadent ice creams each reflecting the different, contrasting sides to our personalities; flirty and frivolous or sophisticated and elegant.
The party begin with drinks, canapes and a little mingling with photo taking opportunities. Some celebrities were also spotted amongst the crowd - Jack and Rai, The Muttons, Keagan Kang, Jade Seah, etc.
I was treated to a media preview inside the Pleasure Store before it was officially opened to public. Come on in and check it out...
Busy chefs at work...
So, what is the MAGNUM SINGAPORE Pleasure Store about?
A key and central element to all Magnum Pleasure Stores, including Singapore’s, is the experience of designing one’s very own Magnum. Starting with an uncoated vanilla Magnum, pleasure makers will take pleasure seekers on a unique six steps journey, where they can indulge the senses in the sights, sounds and smells of Magnum chocolate and ice cream in designing their very own Magnum.
Simply tick your choices and the friendly staffs will prepare your creations.
Choose from an array toppings for your very own MAGNUM ice cream.
Pleasure seekers can also have their very own Magnum creation seen through the Magnum Lookbook that has been specially created to allow digital capture and sharing of their unique designs online and at the store. My mum and I made our own creations and nothing beats eating something that was done by you. Agree??
On top of that, MAGNUM SINGAPORE Pleasure Store also serves up exquisite and sumptuous Magnum desserts and cocktails long into the night. The menu of remarkable pleasures includes beautiful Magnum dessert creations such as “A Midsummer’s Night Dream”, created from edible flower, assorted fizzy berries, white chocolate sheet and a Magnum.
We were also wow-ed by the couture dress - The Magnum Pink & Black Twitter Vote Dress, designed by fashion label, Cute Circuit. It was worn by Jaymee Ong.
Pleasure seekers also had the opportunity to play fashion designer for the night by influencing the colour and pattern of the Magnum Pink and Black Twitter Vote Dress in real-time. This beautiful couture dress was fitted with a layer of ‘intelligent fabric’ containing high-density LEDs which was simply controlled via an app which communicated Twitter votes #MakeitPink or # MakeitBlack to the dress. Their live tweets were collected via a Moodometer on stage which decided on the color and pattern of the dress.
“Designing and creating the Magnum Pink and Black Twitter Vote Dress has been a pleasure. The newly launched Magnum Pink and Magnum Black are designed to indulge the different sides of your personality at different moments; a key theme which we wanted to reflect in the dress itself. Now, for the first time ever, we have beautiful French chiffon gown which is the perfect, adaptable outfit; whether you’re in a flirty and expressive mood or are feeling sophisticated and elegant.” --- Francesca Rosella, Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer, Cute Circuit

Yipee! Time to try the new flavours~
Babe and Hunk with indulgent ice cream. Yummy!
For those feeling fun and frivolous, the Magnum Pink, a pink Marc de Champagne ice cream coated with a premium pearlescent pink layer of crackling Magnum chocolate sauce, is the prefect indulgent treat to bring out the exuberant bubbly side. To match a more refined and elegant personality, the Magnum Black, containing intense black espresso coffee swirled in a smooth, creamy vanilla ice cream that is covered in the signature thick layer of crackling dark Magnum chocolate, is simply delectably decadent.
Thank you MAGNUM for the pleasurable journey!

I wonder how it feels to be driving a Red Bull Mini around town?
"Welcome onboard Red Bull Air. Please take your seat, fasten your seat belt securely and we are ready for take off!"
Yipee! Finally Singapore got to see the amazing Flugtag action! (See here to understand more about Flugtag) Well, it's always something I see on the news and never caught the first ever Red Bull Flugtag 2012 Singapore LIVE. It's so amazing to see people build these huge machines and at the end of the day fly it off to see who goes the furthest! It's like the super grown up version of throwing paper planes...
Since the first Red Bull Flugtag took place in Vienna, Austria, in 1992, more than 100 Flugtag events have been held around the globe, attracting up to 300,000 spectators for a single event.
It was a mighty hot day, but the weather didn't keep us away. We were excited and strolled along the whole Siloso Beach to the end, along the way were the super duper cute Red Bull MINI Coopers. We just kept taking photos. Hehehehe...
The Red Bull Flugtag teams spent weeks toiling over their man-made aircrafts in an attempt to put Singapore on the world map for creativity and on 28th October, Siloso Beach Sentosa saw some of the island’s wackiest human-powered flying crafts take off a 6 meter ramp into the lagoon.
Towards the end of the beach, we saw huge hangers housing the 38 Flugtags. There were a total of 38 teams (of 4 members per team), amidst cheers from a 35,000 strong crowd. Eager spectators filled Siloso Beach to its capacity as early as 11 am and were treated to views of the crafts on the pit lane preparing for the first take-off at 12 noon.
Nearly a quarter of the teams were inspired by local flair including Team Flurry Express and their MRT cabin, Team ERP with their flying ERP gantry. Local delights such as Chilli Crabs, Durians, Kueh Lapis and Char Siew Pows also took the skies, albeit briefly, before making a huge splash in the water below.
When I saw The Chickmobile. I really wonder how is the "pilot" gona see?
The Stealth Budget Airline Team
Java Express Team
Coco Loco Team
The Adventures of Flouride Man & the Cavity Creeps Team
Serial Flyers Team
Mega Aero Zord Team
Go! Go! Power Rangers!!!
The team that really caught my attention would have to be the "Mega Aero Zord". Power Rangers was a kids program I had to watch everyday and it left a huge impression on me. However, I must say the plenty display of male crossing dressing as females, was super eye-catching and adds on to the fun event.

At 12 noon, the 1st Red Bull Flugtag Singapore 2012 began! The judging panel consisted of 7 notable public figures - Paul Foster, Georgina Chang, Aide Iskandar, Rosalyn Lee, Felix Huang, Bobby Tonelli and Dee Kosh. They judged each teams based on creativity, showmanship and of course flight distance.

Also, The Muttons - Justin Ang and Vernon A from 987FM were the hosts.
Are you ready for the action? I must say most of the aircrafts didn't fly too far, but it was fun when amongst the crowd, we were all guessing how far they can go...
The Chick Mobile was the first to go and every team had to do a little performance number, leaving an impression, before the team pushes their aircrafts over the edge of the platform.
Splash!
The Stealth Budget Airline Team kicked in a twist before flying off. Not only did they have sey "air stewardesses", the plane flew backwards too!
All the teams gave their best efforts and it was Super Sevens, a team consisting of commercial pilots and an ex-air stewardess as the actual pilot, who walked away as champions.
SUMMARY OF PRIZE WINNERS:
1st Place: Team Super Sevens
2nd Place, Team Riff Raff Rubber Ruckus
3rd Place, Team Flurry Express
Prize for the Wackiest Team Performance: The Serial Flyers
The MINI Prize for the longest flight distance at Red Bull Flugtag Singapore was awarded to Team Amphibious Dragonfly Drone (Distance: 18.2m), and the winning pilot also walked away with an additional skydiving experience in Europe.
Yes! I was part of the Crazy 1st Red Bull Flugtag 2012 Singapore!
