Delve into a world of luxury at GODIVA Chocolatier Café
Author: Alex Chua The ever-graceful Sheila Sim, the GODIVA ambassador, at the ribbon cutting ceremony As a GODIVA fan, I look forward to the opening of its café similar to the ones in Shanghai, Beijing and Taiwan. And on 29 June, 2017 is the day when the 140 square-meter lifestyle concept dessert cafe debuts at ION Orchard, marking the brand’s first foray into Southeast Asia. Now not only there’s a new hangout spot to chill with friends, I got to enjoy luxurious dessert at the same time. That said, sitting down to some posh nosh chocolates on this special occasion is a real treat. How wonderful if everyday life is…

TRAVEL: Where to go in BKK – Cafe Hopping in Bangkok
Author: Maybeline Sim Camera: Casio ZR5000 I noticed that I get quite a fair bit of hits for my travel articles! So this time round, I am going to share more about Bangkok. Although you may already know where to visit in Bangkok, I assure you that there are still some hidden cafes you may not know! Thank you Casio Singapore and Ultravan for bringing us around. I have two extremely nice cafes to share. Do drop by when you are there! However, I am unable to provide you on the information on “how to get there” as Ultravan drove us around. First up – Featherstone Bangkok Service: 4 Stars…

What to do in Resorts World Genting Highlands
I must say that we are pretty lucky because this is our third media trip this year 🙂 Of course, we are thankful for every opportunity given and we look forward to the next! The last time we visited Genting (separately) was more than 10 years ago so we were glad that this chance came by. Anything to get out of the humid Singapore right now! We left Golden Mile at 10.30pm and arrive in Genting the next day at 5am with some stops in-between. After we checked in to the hotel, we had a short nap before making our way to the first activity: “Ice Age Collision Course”. I can dare…

Hugo Boss UNLIMITED taking Centrestage @ #SUCCESSISMADE Stadium in Changi Airport Terminal 1
Leaving Singapore with a Heavy Heart? You will be spared of this agony from the 29th April 2016 till 9th June 2016. This is very much owing to the first ever collaboration between Changi Airport Group, Shilla Duty Free & most importantly, HUGO BOSS! This is part of the fourth iteration of BOSS Parfums’ ubiquitous Soccer Campaign: ‘SUCCESS ISN’T BORN, IT IS MADE’. Simply love this humble yet impactful tagline! Personally, I think it should seat in as the epitome of every Mens’ success! With this campaign, came the birth of the ‘BOSS #SUCCESSISMADE STADIUM’ situated at the departure transit area at Changi Airport Terminal 1! In fact, you will spot it easily once you crossed the passport check…

JamesnMaybel’s Bali Adventure Trip with Casio FR100
If 2016 is a 365 page book, I would think JamesnMaybel has already penned down an exciting first chapter by being part of Casio’s Project: To review their latest FR100 camera in Bali! But before I begin, let us set three important disclaimers. One to fully credit the pictures & another to prove our objectivity in reviewing this camera. 1)All photos are NOT edited (aka #nofilter in IG term) & FULLY taken with the Casio FR100. 2)No payment nor sponsorship of FR100 was exchanged for this project. 3)All opinions are made solely based on our own experience – JamesnMaybel. With that said, now you are all set to click your way through this post as though you…

My Taiwan Trip for 2015 – Kaohsiung
The decision to go back to Taiwan again when I just there last year was made just a month before I flew over. Last November was my first visit to Taiwan – Taipei and Taichung but it was unforgettable because of the friendly people and environment there. The pace there is much slower than Singapore. When I was there last year, the weather was cooling and nice, but it was freaking hot and warm this year. I totally regretted bringing the coats over. Luckily Taipei turned cool during my last 2 days. I went to an addition city, Kaohsiung, this year. Recommendations: If you are planning to visit Kaohsiung, just…

SHILLA 1st anniversary the opening of Shilla Beauty Loft
Did you hear about Maddy’s coverage of The Shilla Duty Free first anniversary and the unveiling of The Shilla Beauty Loft at Singapore Changi Airport last week? I was present at The Shilla Duty Free. I went there empty handed but went home with bags and bags of shoppings because everything was at lease 30-40% cheaper than the retail prices outside!! I was there when The Shilla Duty Free first open its door last year and I am more than happy to be back. The Shilla Duty Free also launched its iconic beauty loft concept at Singapore Changi Airport, Terminal 3. The Shilla Beauty Loft is the first luxury spa…

[Bali] A trip to the “ZOO”
It’s back to my Bali posts again. So sorry for the delay cause I have been really really busy. It seems like all the events are coming together in May. — Bali Day 2. We started the day early as early as 8am after the first day (http://maybelinesim.sg/2015/04/26/bali-holiday-inn-express-holiday-resort/) because we booked a day trip for a day filled with water activities. The breakfast hours in Holiday Inn Express Kuta Square was 6am to 10am and with it being an express hotel, I expected lesser variety of food but I was quite surprised to see the food there. Since I was there for 4D3N, I had 3 chances of trying…

Malacca with Casio EX-ZR3500
Last year November, James bought me a camera for my birthday – Casio EX-ZR1500 all because I was in love with the make up mode and being a blogger, I needed more than just a selfie camera, this was why I opted for a ZR. I have never regretted picking this as my birthday gift because it accompanied and serve me well for all my events, product reviews and holidays. Truth to be told, I was sad when EX-ZR3500 was released because I could have just waited for a few more months for this awesome baby to be released!! Since ZR1500 was that good, I was expecting ZR3500 to be…
