I Am Getting A New ASUS ZenPad 3 8.0 For My Mum This Mother Day!

Hi Huneybees,

My mum has very few recreation activities as she devoted almost 40 years of her life as a full time home maker for the family. With more affordable and faster broadband services coupled with the prevalence of smartphone, she has recently started - as the children grown up - following TVB and Korean drama on her 4.7-inch LCD screen on her handphone.

So for this Mother's Day, I have decided to honour my mum for her contribution and sacrifice by getting her a tablet - ASUS Zenpad 3 8.0 - to improve her video streaming experience while avoiding the eye fatigue and strain.

One of the key consideration in choosing the right tablet is the weight to Display-Aspect-Ratio and ASUS Zenpad 3 8.0 (model Z581KL) is on par with major models such as Apple Mini and Samsung Galaxy Tab.

Weighing at just 320g, owe to its forged aluminum body, the 8-inch tablet by ASUS also comes with a premium leather-patterned rear cover that I really like the feel and I'm sure my mum would love the touch too while she is using it or bringing it effortlessly anywhere she goes; this is especially important after a whole day of house chores or out shopping!

What really impressed me is the cinematic audio that the ASUS Zenpad 3 8.0 delivers, thanks to the dual stereo speakers, one on either side, which produces the loudest quality DTS high definition (HD) sounds that I have ever heard on any single mobile devices.  

It also provides seamless and crystal sharp experience playing videos online or browsing through high quality megapixels photographs on the 7.9" LED Backlight QXGA (1536 x 2048) screen of the 

ASUS Zenpad 3 8.0, that gives vivid 2K (2048 x 1536 resolution) visual using ASUS Tru2Life+ technologies, powered by Qualcomm® MSM8956 Hexa Core, 1.8 GHz with 4GB onboard memory. Even apps open in seconds!

All in all, ASUS has created a stylish tablet that delivers powerful performance and is equipped with the latest USB Type C port as well as a Micro SD Card Reader that can read up to 128GB SDXC, making it a truly immersive entertainment for my mum in any possible scenarios!

Since Mother's Day is just round the corner, have you decided what to give to your mum yet?

Why not consider the ASUS ZenPad 3 8.0 like me too?

Sister Act The Musical Comedy Is Coming To Marina Bay Sands

Hi Huneybees,

The hilarious, five-time Tony-nominated musical smash hit, SISTER ACT, will be coming to Singapore for the first time, straight from the US!  Described “In a word, DIVINE!” by the Associated Press, SISTER ACT opens at the MasterCard Theatres, Marina Bay Sands on 9 May 2017 for a limited engagement! Tickets are now on sale.

Fans of the movie will find the musical as hilarious and if you have not watched it before,  SISTER ACT tells the story of a wannabe disco diva Deloris Van Cartier whose life takes a surprising turn when she witnesses a murder, and is put into protective custody in the one place the police are sure she won’t be found - a convent! Disguised as a nun, she finds herself at odds with both the rigid lifestyle and an uptight Mother Superior. Using her fabulous disco vibe and killer voice to inspire the choir, Deloris breathes new life into the church, but in doing so, blows her cover.  Soon it’s nun-on-the-run time but Deloris helps her fellow sisters find their voices as she unexpectedly rediscovers her own. A sparkling tribute to the universal power of friendship, SISTER ACT is reason to rejoice!

Based on the mega-hit film from the 1990s, SISTER ACT features original music by 8-time Oscar® winner ALAN MENKEN (Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, Little Shop of Horrors), with a vast inspiration of musical styles from Motown, soul and funk to great big disco anthems and Barry White inspired musical comedy.

The Original Production is produced by Whoopi Goldberg and Stage Entertainment.  This production is produced by BEG and TROIKA Entertainment. SISTER ACT received five 2011 Tony® Award nominations including BEST MUSICAL, BEST ORIGINAL SCORE (Alan Menken (music)/Glenn Slater (lyrics), and BEST BOOK OF A MUSICAL (Cheri & Bill Steinkellner and Douglas Carter Beane).

“To hear people laugh and cheer the way they do at SISTER ACT—a show people think they know but are pleasantly surprised to discover is not what they are expecting—is a magical experience for a producer. Happily, audiences across the country are able to get in on the fun as Deloris and her fabulous sisters spread the love nationwide.”  --- Producer of the Original production - Whoopi Goldberg, who also played the lead role of Deloris in the 1992 Hollywood blockbuster and sequel.  

SISTER ACT features lyrics by Tony and Academy Award-nominee Glenn Slater (The Little Mermaid), and a book by multi-Emmy Award winners Cheri and Bill Steinkellner (“Cheers”) with additional book material by Tony and Olivier Award nominee Douglas Carter Beane (Xanadu, The Little Dog Laughed). Directed on Broadway by four-time Tony Award winner Jerry Zaks (Guys and Dolls, A Funny Thing…Forum, Smokey Joe’s Café), the production features choreography by Tony and Olivier Award nominee Anthony Van Laast (Mamma Mia, Bombay Dreams) and is based on the Touchstone Pictures motion picture Sister Act written by Joseph Howard.

SISTER ACT features scenic design by Klara Zieglerova (Jersey Boys), costume design by Lez Brotherson (Swan Lake), lighting design by Natasha Katz (Once), sound design by Peter McBoyle (Come Fly Away) and hair design by David Brian Brown (Death of a Salesman).

Real Life Filtering Made Possible With PERIPERA Blur Pang Milk Blur Creams!

Hi Huneybees,

I've been waiting for these PERIPERA Blur Pang Milk Blur creams to be brought into the Singapore market, but sadly, it's still not here but luckily, I found them in Johor Bahru's Watsons store. Why am I so eager to get them?

With the age of in-built filters on our cameras, I can't help to fiddle a little with those sliders, but it's never the same when you can "filter" your face in real life. Who doesn't want smooth, clear skin without the need of camera tricks, right?! I just want to blur my imperfections and blotchy skin.

Of course, the cute packaging is the first thing that caught my attention. Coming in mini "milk carton boxes", these squeeze tube primers are available in Peach (Pink), Milk (Blue) and Banana (Yellow) "flavours". 

Each "flavour" has their own functions to help with your skin "filtering" and just nice, it's that time of the month, my skin is giving me problems with blemishes. I'll show you a comparison with and without the creams. Every day I have different skin situations, so I use them differently. So when to use them? Read on...

Peach Milk Blur

• SPF Protection 30 PA++ 
• Tone Up Boosting Benefits
• CC Cream Effect

Pink helps correct skin darkness, dullness, eliminates the appearance of blue veins and if you have that need, use the PERIPERA Blur Pang Peach Milk Blur.

It smells heavenly with 14.000pm of 98%  natural peach extract; a whiff of it, makes a great start to the morning. I find that with the cream underneath my foundation, my pores seem to blur off, blemishes seem less obvious and also its more radiant with the pink glow underneath.

Moreover, there's additional sunblock protection and Peach Vita-Whitening Complex, you can be protected and have your skin nourished throughout the day!

Pure Milk Blur

• Tone Up Boosting Benefits
• Filtering effects for face and body parts that look dull and sallow

Just like milk, the PERIPERA Blur Pang Pure Milk Blur allows your skin to appear clean and clear. No matter what situation your skin is in, you can instantly brighten it with a layer of this cream. 

This cream is also not just restricted for use on the face. If you want to hide those patchy tan from under the sun, dark elbows or knees, you can also use it all over your body. Snow White skin is not impossible with this cream!

Banana Milk Blur 

• Natural Coverage
• Tone-Up Boosting Benefits

If you are looking to have glowing skin but not wanting to look too ghostly fair, the PERIPERA Blur Pang Banana Milk Blur is the one to get. 

With 10.00ppm 99% natural banana extract, the cream smells great and its banana nutrients help lighten the skin inside out. Its very light weight, and I always have it a step before applying my foundation.

I find that it hides all my blemishes and my skin appears smoother. Moreover with the Goat Milk Extract and Vita Complex 10, my skin feels hydrated throughout the day.
