How Are You, My Huneybees? ❤️

Hi Huneybees,

How are you? I've missed you lot so so SOOOO much! I didn't mean to go MIA, I just wanted to take a short little break to revamp some things and rebrand Huney'Z World. However, so many things have been happening, distracting me and bringing me on emotional rollercoaster rides, it's so hard to find a proper time to really sit down and get my thoughts out.

Ever since hearing about the news of Covid-19, I've been isolating myself at home, only to go out once in a while for meals or to get necessities. Call me Kiasi, but I'm not prepared to wave goodbye to the world yet and since I'm asthmatic, I rather play the safe card, avoid crowds and stay as sanitized as possible to keep COVID-19 at bay.

So, what have you all been doing during this CCB (nope, not scolding profanity here) period? I feel so accomplished looking back at how much I have done during this period. First, I started with sanitizing the house and since I'm already cleaning up, I also did some Marie Kondo style, ridding the junk out of the house. I've been such a hoarder, that things were lying everywhere, eating up all the free space.

That was tiring and took a bit of toil on my weak back, but it was amazing like a game level unlocked when I started to have more space to walk around. With my high spirits, I then went on drawing, doodling, and filling in my adult colouring books.

In the midst, some personal stuff happened and I spiraled down the rabbit hole. All I wanted to do was just lie in bed and watch movies and k-dramas all day in the room. Then TikTok came along as I was searching for apps and games.  I've been flicking through those videos all day, they were entertaining and slowly, I found myself back again, replicating some of the popular trends like Dalgona Coffee, Milo Steam Cake and Souffle Pancakes.

Another skill unlocked and now I'm all ready to bounce back to "reclaim" my Queen Bee throne. I have some new visions and will be making some changes to Huney'Z World. I hope to continue having my Huneybees' support!  

Let's Fight COVID-19!

I'm looking forward to the reopening of the Circuit Breaker and in the meantime, let's all stay safe from the virus, stay positive and together, we can overcome! #SGUnited 😷😷😷

Sold Out Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip Announces Collaboration With Thom Browne & LINGWU

Hi Huneybees,

The highly-anticipated, category-bending Galaxy Z Flip was sold out on the Samsung Online Store within one hour of its release back on 14th February 2020 and again on the Samsung Online Store within a day of its restock on 16 February 2020.

I'm already in dilemma whether to get the phone and now with the announcement of the Mirror Gold version and their new collaboration with Thom Browne and LINGWU, I'm even more determined to get my hands on the Galaxy Z Flip. The only question now is Gold version or Thom Browne edition?

The Mirror Gold speaks to individuals who are seeking a statement piece to express their unique selves as the colour stands out among conventional colour options available in market. On the other hand, the Thom Browne Edition is created for those who wish to be transported to a world of luxury and high style.

Users familiar with the distinguished designer’s aesthetics will find similarity between the smartphone and its trademark grey suit. The device features the brand’s signature red, white, and navy brand colours, draped on a pebble grey exterior pulled straight from the runway. To complete the look, the special edition version also comes with custom designed Galaxy Buds+ and Galaxy Watch Active2.

 

The limited-edition smartphone is the first of its kind to be encased in glass while still having a matte look that is soft to the touch and effortless to hold. When unfolded, the Galaxy Z Flip Thom Browne Edition reveals even more design details inside, including:

• Iconic blinds, a reference to the mid-century office aesthetic at the centre of the Thom Browne world, which appear onscreen every time the phone is turned on and off;
• Pre-set app icons, labelled in classic text, as well as custom wallpaper which create an elemental Thom Browne uniformity;
• Distinctive sound cues including a typewriter for the keyboard, an analogue ringtone, and a shoe tap on a marble floor, that tie the entire experience together.

 

In addition, Samsung has unveiled an exclusive collaboration with LINGWU, a Singapore-based accessories atelier, for the launch of the LINGWU capsule bag. Available in limited quantities, the bespoke creation is a one-of-a-kind fashion accessory for those seeking a unique statement piece to house their stylish foldable -  the belt bag.

Available in two colour options, Orange and Orange/Purple, the capsule bag is crafted from Epsom leather that is commonly used for luxury handbags. Elevated by Asian local craftsmanship, the bright colours and clean lines of the capsule bag appeals to both male and females. The scratch-resistant leather ages well with time to become a truly one-of-a-kind piece. It also sports a magnetic closure, inspired by the Galaxy Z Flip.

 

Style the capsule bag any way you like. Sling it over your shoulder for a laid-back look or go completely hands-free and wear it on your waist like a fanny pack – a homage to vintage 80’s fashion.

 

Starting from 2 May, the Galaxy Z Flip in Mirror Gold will be available for online purchase at a recommended retail price of $1,998 on the Samsung Online Store, Singtel Online Shop, M1 Online Shop, major consumer electronics and IT retailers’ online shops, and Krisshop Online. The Galaxy Z Flip in Mirror Gold will also be available in stores after circuit breaker measures are lifted.
 
Customers will also receive a pair of Galaxy Buds+ worth $268 for every Galaxy Z Flip purchased on the Samsung Online Store or major consumer electronics and IT retailers’ online shops, while stocks last.
 

The LINGWU capsule bag for Galaxy Z Flip  is available at $188 (U.P. $368) with every new Galaxy Z Flip purchase, and is only available on the Samsung Online Store. Only 88 pieces are available for purchase, while stocks last.
 
Galaxy Z Flip Thom Browne Edition is slated to launch in Singapore in June. More details will be shared closer to launch date.
 

All Galaxy Z Flip devices come with Galaxy Z Premier Service. This specialised care offering provides customers with the most premium product experience possible.

Celebrating Valentines' Day Whilst Staying Safe From COVID-19

Hi Huneybees,

It's Valentines' Weekend, but because of the COVID-19Virus, maybe you are cutting down on human interaction or you simply just want some couples' time together. Hubby and I have come up with a few ideas and thought it will be nice to share with you, my Huneybees...

Game On!
'Hiding Out' at home could mean so many activities. You can start with sanitizing and cleaning up the home together, to spending quality time together. Cooking for each other can be so cliché, what about playing games and getting fit together then?

Ever since we got our hands on Just Dance 2020, we have been trying to match our time to play together, this weekend will be a nice time to get our dancing shoes on and see who is the better dancer!

Netflix and Chill
And when you are all tired out from all the activities, why not take a break, pop some popcorn or order in some snacks and snuggle up together to catch up on those films that you have been too busy for? There's so much to choose from, who knows, it might just lead to an amazing 'chill' session in bed eh? *wink*

Satisfying the Tummy

Whipping up a dish or 2 for your loved ones can be such an amazing gesture but if you want to take a break from the kitchen, give the other half a break from the kitchen or simply just to impress them and give them a restaurant-quality dinner date; why not try a private chef service and have him/her whip up dishes to end your night on a sweet note? There is Take a Chef for you to consider, if you have more o suggest, comment below...

Pamper Yourselves
Amidst all the work stress and news during the virus period, a time to relax and chill is all we need. Prepare a spa time, light some fragrant candles, do facials together, enjoy a comfortable bath together. 

Well, these are just some ideas we came up with and hope you all have a lovely Valentines' Day with your partners. Be sure to stay safe (*wink* I mean, rubber-wise or mask-wise), be sanitary and keep the virus at bay.

Samsung's Latest Phone Will Flip Your Mind!

Hi Huneybees,

Something exciting is launching this February and it will definitely give us an excuse to be out and about to breathe some fresh air and capture these fun moments with tons of photos keepsakes.

Remember the revolutionary Samsung Fold that launched last year? This year, we have the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip! The Galaxy Z Flip is bold and stylish, designed for those who see cutting-edge technology as a way to express themselves and engineered with first-of-its-kind foldable glass. The Galaxy Z Flip bends the laws of physics and features a 6.7-inch display that folds into a stylish and compact form factor that fits in the palm of your hand. You can use it clasped, open up in 90 degrees or fully open into a smartphone size.


Style that Fits in Your Pocket - Designed for ultimate portability, Galaxy Z Flip folds into the size of a wallet, so you can easily fit it in your pocket or bag. When closed, it is a stylish, compact palm-sized device. When opened, its screen size nearly doubles to reveal a stunning 6.7-inch display. With its stylish color palette, sleek rounded corners and forward fold that closes with a satisfying snap, Galaxy Z Flip is sure to turn heads,, be a fashion statement and also a conversation starter.

Samsung’s First Foldable Glass Display - Galaxy Z Flip features an Infinity Flex Display with Samsung’s proprietary bendable Ultra Thin Glass (UTG), making it slimmer with a sleek, premium look and feel that has never been seen with a foldable device before. The centered in-display camera cutout at the top also means there’s no notch and no distractions, with Samsung’s first-ever 21.9:9 ratio, so you can enjoy even more of your favorite content such as cinema-ratio 21:9 shows and movies.

New Hideaway Hinge - Galaxy Z Flip’s Hideaway Hinge is a work of engineering art. It’s backed by a dual CAM mechanism – small but sophisticatedly designed to ensure every flip and fold is smooth and stable. Galaxy Z Flip can stay open at a range of angles, like a laptop screen. The Hideaway Hinge system also integrates Samsung’s new sweeper technology, which uses nylon fibers crafted by micro-height-cutting technology to repel dirt and dust.

Do more, Hands-free - Galaxy Z Flip is built for the modern, on-the-go lifestyle. Now you can do more, from multiple angles – hands-free. When Galaxy Z Flip unfolds, it can stay open at multiple angles, unlocking opportunities for selfies that show more of the world around you and expressive video chats with Google Duo – all hands-free.

Flex mode - Samsung worked closely with Google to design Flex mode – custom-built user experience for Galaxy Z Flip’s unique forward folding form factor. When the device is free-standing, the display automatically splits into two 4-inch screens so you can easily view images, contents or videos on the top half of the display, and control them on the bottom half. Easily watch and navigate YouTube – stream on the top while searching for other videos, reading descriptions and writing comments on the bottom.

Multi-Active Window - Seamlessly multi-task with Multi-Active Window – simply open the Multi-Window Tray to drag and drop the apps you want to use. Scroll through an article on the latest fashion looks on the top half while shopping for your favorite pieces on the bottom.

Game Changing Camera - Galaxy Z Flip literally stands on its own so that you can capture more, on-the-go – from timed group shots to vivid nighttime content. You can create content for your social media feeds from the best angle and enjoy video recording with a 16:9 ratio that’s perfect for uploads to social media platforms, hands-free – no tripod needed. Capture stunning Night Hyperlapse videos or vivid low light shots with Night mode – no flash needed. Just open your device and place it on a table. When closed, quickly capture one-handed high-quality selfies using the rear camera without unfolding.

Notifications on Your Terms - Whether Galaxy Z Flip is closed, standing upright or open, never miss a text, call or reminder. When closed, check the date, time and battery status at a glance on the cover display. Get real time notifications so you can easily answer a call without unfolding or respond to a text by simply tapping the notification and unfolding your Galaxy Z Flip.

Galaxy Foundation and Ecosystem
As a Galaxy device, Galaxy Z Flip brings the Galaxy ecosystem into its brand new foldable experience. It boasts flagship-level performance and features across camera, display, battery, security as well as services like Samsung Health, Samsung Pay, Samsung Knox and more. Enjoy a versatile camera experience with 4K video capture, Live Focus and Super Steady recording. 

Galaxy Z Flip features an optimized dual battery system that holds more power without taking up more space – wired or wirelessly quick charge, plus with Wireless PowerShare, you can wirelessly charge up your Galaxy Buds, Galaxy Watch or even a friend’s device. Samsung Knox protects users and their device from the chip to the software level and receives monthly and quarterly security updates. Users also get services that enable secure payment options with Samsung Pay, health and wellness tracking and monitoring with Samsung Health, and access to more than 5,000 Samsung and partner smart products through SmartThings.

I'm already infatuated with the phone for its size and sleek design, if you are still looking for a Valentines' gift, why not consider this new folding phone? *Crossing fingers hubby is reading this article!*
