Say 'I Love You' To Mummy With Waze

Hi Huneybees,

This May, we celebrate Mothers' Day, honoring the lady who brought us to this world, the real MVPs and bona fide warriors who will stop at nothing to keep us out of harm’s way. If mummy dearest is always on the road, driving to work, rushing home or fetching her kids around, why not say 'I Love You' to her by empowering her with these nifty driving hacks from Waze.

Waze is the world’s largest community-based traffic and navigation app, which will sure to take the stress out of her daily routine on the road, whilst driving with your love in her heart.

Tip #1: My Voice Is Your Command, Mum

What better way to tell mum ‘I love you!’ then to record your own Waze navigation voice to guide her on the road. To enable voice customization on Waze, head on over to Advanced Settings > Sound & Voice > Voice Directions. 

The app will guide you through the recording process to ensure that the directions mum receives will remain clear and accurate. Once recorded, your custom Waze voice pack can also be easily shared with the rest of your family. Won't it be fun to be able to 'accompany' mum on her trips?

Tip #2: New Waze to Drive

Planning an upcoming road trip, or just looking to stay ahead of the rush hour? Never miss an important family appointment with the Waze ‘Planned Drives’. This feature will help mum plan her upcoming trips: She’ll know exactly when to leave, and if she’s a lady who lives by her calendar, then she can sync with business meetings and Facebook events.

Tip #3: Mum’s Trusted Co-pilot

Waze is more than just for navigating traffic, it’s also a trusted co-pilot for every essential pit stop while driving. Take the ‘Gas Stations & Prices’ feature for instance: choose mum’s preferred petrol type, and Waze will show price updates and station locations along her driving route. 

Our mums are master multitaskers, juggling work with many other household responsibilities. Whether it’s stocking up on groceries or finding the nearest clinics during emergencies, Waze has got mum’s back by recommending those nearest at any given location, including available parking lots.

Tip #4: Family-friendly Driving

‘Are you there yet, Mum?’ Instead of calling your mum endlessly to check up on her and distract her from safe driving, why not encourage mum to use Waze’s ‘Send ETA’ feature. 

Running late or unsure of the arrival time? Tap ‘Send ETA’ at the bottom of the Waze map to let family members follow mum’s drive in real-time via text or WhatsApp, so you’ll never have to worry. You can also send the same to your mum, so she’ll know when to expect you.

💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓

So, why not send your love to Mummy by empowering her with safety and 'being' with her?

Have fun with the app, I'm off to download Waze for my mum. 😊

The LG Pocket Photo 2.0 Brings Friends & Families Closer

Hi Huneybees,

Photos are a must whenever I hang out with my friends. It is our way of keeping memories so that we can take them out to reminisce, years after that. But as the digital age catch up, I tend to just keep the photos in my hard disk and chances of looking at the photos again are slim.

That's also why some of my friends have gotten the polaroid cameras, so we can have the pictures printed out, kept it scrap books of framed up. But that's still a little boring as the frames are already fixed and most of the time the photos can turn out to be a little too dark...

So here comes the solution! The LG Pocket Photo 2.0 (PD239) is an upgrade version from its first model and this smart mobile printer is so small and light, I have it in my bag everywhere I go (Size (W x H x D): 76 x 126 x 20mm / Weight: 221g). When I go to events, catch up with friends and family, this adds as an additional activity, additional topic to talk about!

The Pocket Photo printer shares the same charger as my Android phone and using wireless connectivity - NFC and Bluetooth, I can easily print the photos out within seconds. Not only am I not restricted by the frames that comes with polaroids, I can even add the date, different filters and different stickers to my photo before printing out.

Something special would be the QR code printing. You can set to have your information included like for me, I can go to events and print a photo of me with someone I just met, then include my blog link or even telephone number in the QR code. So, he/she can easily remember me and get the relevant information from a scan of the picture!

In fact, anyone with NFC or Bluetooth can do the printing as long as they download the LG Pocket Photo App. The printer is compatible with Android, iOS and Windows Phone 8, and when ever I'm with my friends, we have tons of fun "creating" the photos and printing out our "art works".

The photo paper comes in 2 types - he normal ones as well as the sticker backing ones. Each box has 30 paper for you to print on and each paper is already loaded with the ink to print, so you can even save on the catridge ink! All thanks to ZINK® paper! The ZINK printing technology utilizes heat to activate the necessary color-forming chemistry. Compared to conventional printing processes, ZINK’s inkless paper system preserves images longer, and produces less smearing.

But please don't be a blur like me. The first time when I used, I opened the paper package and threw this blue barcode paper away. (*Oops! Too excited to use the paper, no read instructions.) DO KEEP THE BLUE BARCODE PAPER and load it facing down with all the white paper facing up.

This would then calibrate the paper and ink to get the right colour printout, if not, it will turn all greenish and waste the photo. So once, you have loaded the paper, go ahead and send your photo to print. The blue barcode paper would come out first, don't fret as your printout will come out next....

TA-DA!

Ain't it amazing?! I always have tons of fun printing the photos, especially my little nephew, who would always pull up a chair and start choosing the frames with me and have the photos up on his very own "Wall of Fame".

The Pocket Photo 2.0 is available in White and Pink at S$229 at LG authorized retailers. The Zink Media Photo Paper comes in the following options: 30 paper sheets and 90 paper sheets at S$15 and S$40 respectively, while a pouch of 30 sticker sheets retails for $18.

All Time Low, Chua En Lai & Hossan Leong at LOL Toggle Recording

Hi Huneybees,

LOL is a new interesting and awesome ladies talk show is currently in town. Yes,  it's short for  "Laugh Out Loud" and that's what the show promises. One awesome hilarious talk show that  is guaranteed to make you laugh throughout the show.

I was recently at the LOL Talk Show recording. This program is by Mediacorp and it will be shown on Toggle, an entertainment service that allows you to get entertainment  information and news across multiple platforms like iPad, iPhone and Android Devices.

Toggle is an interactive service that goes beyond the television set, bringing entertainment, lifestyle tips, news and information to viewers across multiple devices. The service will be available online, on smart phones, tablets and connected TVs, allowing viewers to stay engaged wherever they are.

The highlight for that night's show would have to be the heart throb boys of All Time Low #AllTimeLow. Fans were crowding outside screaming as well as the lucky few who got in for the show. The boys performed a couple of their popular songs and sat down with the host Judee Tan as well as her BFF, Marcus AC for a quick chat.

The boys were so cheeky and started playing while chatting on the show and they even proposed to Judee, making her melt right on the spot...

The other highlight of the show were the local guests - Chua En Lai and Hossan Leong! (I was there for them. Come on! They are hilarious!).

The 3 of them started with a toast and it was like a friends gathering rather than a talk show. We as the audience had super lots of fun hearing them joke and seriously, my cheek muscles were super sore after the show...

Why was Hossan so intrigued by a $2 note? Watch LOL!

Hehehe... Sneaked a picture with Chua En Lai in between their breaks.

And last but not least, is the section by Marcus himself, sharing beauty, fashion tips for all ladies out there. For this episode, they were introducing face masks from My Beauty Dairy and their ambassador Grace Tan was there to share her beauty tips too!
