#JuliesHersheys

Hi.

Recently I was invited to a media launch by Julie's where they're gonna be sharing about their up and coming new product. In collaboration with Hershey's, Julie's has come up with a new product line called Julie's Hershey's.



The event was held at Spinelli located at Habourfront Tower 1. As it was near the Christmas season, the people from Julie's made the effort to decorate the place itself. They even made a Christmas Tree out of the Julie's Hershey's boxes. Hahah!



As you guys may have seen it in some of the major supermarkets like Fairprice, Cold Storage or even GIANT hypermart. Julie's Hershey's cookies are available in 6 flavors, Chocolate Chip Hazelnut, Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Fudge Vanilla, Chocolate Chip Oat, Chocolate Fudge, and Chocolate Waffles. I've already eaten the Hazelnut, Oat, Chocolate Fudge and Chocolate Waffles flavors already and honestly speaking, I LIKED ALL OF THEM! Hahaha! ♥

I've given some to my friends to try it and all of them say that it's really nice! Some even asked me where can they get these. ^.^

But I'm not too sure about the flavors that are available now (currently) in the market, but I was told that the Chocolate Fudge Vanilla will only be in the market next year.




Mr Martin, the director of Perfect Food Manufacturing was also there at the event despite his busy schedule. he wanted to be at the event to tell us about how Julie's and Hershey's came to an agreement on the partnership.

The people from Julie's are also pretty nice, they gave each of us a bag Julie's Hershey's goodies during the event and some of us even got something extra. Hahah!



There was also a instagram contest held during the event. The person who has the most adorable, cute and happiest smile will walk away with a prize. And to my surprise, I was one of the winner for the contest.

We end of the event with phototaking session. Took a group photo with the decorations that they had and also with Miriam and Benny, the 2 Julie's friends that I've made during my Malacca trip back in August. ♥

A "Beary" Good Reason

[17th Jun 2014, Tuesday]

So on Tuesday, it was a very special day where Domino's, together with The Influencer Network, also known as TIN in short, held their event to commemorate the launch of Domino's limited edition Bola Bear collectibles.



The event was held at 31 A Scotts Road, Colonial @ Scotts. I had quite a difficult time finding the place though, but nevertheless, I manage to made it on time.

Saw quite a few familiar faces over there, and the first person I saw was Michelle.C! FAN BOY MODE!!! Didn't hesitate to ask her for a photo. Hahaha!!!





Above photo is from Vivian (xchubbykitty), I love that photo because I look so naise!!! Hahaha!



The place was filled with bloggers, and also BALLOOONS!!! So without further ado, the emcee began introducing himself and the highlight of the event, and that there's this Instagram #BOLABEAR contest. The person with the most likes will walk away with:

1st Prize: Go-Pro Camera
2nd Prize: Fuji Film Instax Camera
3rd Prize: Samsung Digital Camera with Wifi capabilities

So yeap! Everyone started instagraming away~ Except for me... Cuz I know I won't win. Hahaha!



SO ANYWAYS
After that, the emcee announce that they're gonna have a stage game, 3 teams of 3 will go up the stage and get their photo taken by the photographer once, and only once, then the group with the loudest clap wins the limited edition Bola Bears!!! So the lucky me got called up the stage, together with Darren and Shaun, and guess what? WE WON!!! Hahaha!!!



After the stage activity, the marketing manager of Domino's told us that each and everyone of us will be walking away with a Bola Bear collectibles!!! YAY! I CAN HAZ 2 BOLA BEARS!!!



After that it was group photo, but I didn't manage to get any photos taken because everyone is snapping photos with their camera. SIGHSS! T.T



So after that, the marketing manager began explaining little bit about Domino's pizza and also the Bola Bear launch.

You have to hurry if you want to get your hands on the Bola Bear collectibles cuz I heard that it's selling out FAST!!! For more information you can check out Domino's website at http://www.dominos.com.sg/

#GLUTTONS

So next, the moment that everyone had been waiting for. THE FOOD!!! It's free and easy, so everyone just helped themselves with the food. I really love their Napolitana Meatballs! ITS DAMN AWESOME!!!









I ABSOLUTELY LOVEEEE THEIR DRUMPLETS! It's like a MUST HAVE whenever I eat Domino's!!! And how can I forget about their Chocolate Lava Cake! It's everyone's ultimate favorite from Domino's Pizza!!!



So after much fun chatting and eating, its time to announce the top 3 winners for the #BOLABEAR Instagram contest.

So for 3rd Prize, the winner is: @Hpility, with 262 likes.

2nd Prize, we have Vivian, @Xchubbikitty with 283 likes.

and now, for first prize, the person with the most likes, and Angie was like saying confirm is him confirm is him. Hahahah! That person is non other than...... Ben, with 300 over likes, P/S: This one the photo a bit blur, so I couldn't see the exact figure of his likes, but well, at least his is real numbers. Just saying.





Shy Ben with his new Go-Pro. Now this is the annoying part, I swear to god the emcee is a jackass! Like how I tweeted yesterday, yes he is funny, I like his entertainment value but then again, insulting someone so that you can make others laugh isn't cool yo! Insulting people, making them lose face on stage is just not right, I mean, yea you make others laugh, but do you know how the person that is being made a laughing stock feel?

How inconsiderate!!!

SO ANYWAYS.
The day ended with more selfies and photo taking. I'm glad to see everyone together at one event, and I finally get to take photos with Darren and Ben! :D

Not forgetting Michelle. TSKTSK!!! And I have to apologize to Tselyn cuz I didn't take any photos with her. :/

    
Lastly, this person that I have to thank. Thank you so much for being there with me throughout the event, without you I think I'll have to start singing to ALONE already. So yeap! A big thank you to MyApplePai! So much loveeeeeeeee!



Now ending this post with a group photo (just us actually) Hahahah! Together with William, and thank you Domino's and The Influencer Network for hosting this event, it was an honour.

The Optique of Tomorrow

[19 June 2013, Wednesday]

Was invited by Evelyn to attend to new opening of T.O.T. also known as The Optique of Tomorrow, located at JEM! Thanks Evelyn! ♥




Awhile later when I arrived at T.O.T. The Managing Director of Nanyang Optical Co. Pte Ltd, Mr. Bernard Yang was telling us more about the range of spectacles/sunglasses that T.O.T has to offer.

Mr. Bernard joined Nanyang Optical business since 1996, and he has close to two decades of industry experience, in the year 2000, he co-started the distribution arm, Eye-Biz Pte Ltd, and through the years, brought the business from Singapore and Malaysia onto the global stage, mapping out distribution footprints from Asia to Europe and then finally, United States.

Besides retail and business management, Mr. Bernard utilized his technical know-how and innovative market sensitivities to help launch four proprietary brands, starting up with Urband in 2006, followed by Glossi, Linkskin and Eyelet. In addition, Bernard spearheaded the new business of providing safety eyewear to an untapped consumer segment.

Under his leadership, Nanyang Optical is now introducing The Optique of Tomorrow, T.O.T., a new retail brand dedicated to edgy designer eyewear to cater to a widened consumer base.

We were also allowed to try on all the eyewear that is available in the shop! Here's me and Joyce camwhoring!





T.O.T. sells eyewear from many different brands such as Tart Optical which symbolizes the good old American style frame in black, dark tortoise and smoke grey which was worn by James Dean in the 1950s and popularized by Johnny Depp starring in the movie Secret Window.

Glossi is another favourite brand worn by celebrities, its known for its unique coating on the frame front that creates kaleidoscope of colors. An exclusive brand at T.O.T., which was also the one that I got as a media gift, was worn by Joe Perry, singer of Aerosmith to complete his flamboyant stage presence.

grafik:plastic, which is a Korean brand with a wide selection of striking frame-fronts and temples which can be pieced together in numerous variations. grafik:plastic is also well-loved for is versatility by K-Pop stars such as Big Bang, 2NE1 and Wondegirls.

Carrera, designed to showcase racing as an attitude for people who live to their limit.

For those who seek for casual chic eye pieces that compliment their way of life, there is WOOW which take a fun and quirky spin on design.

February 31st, this brand of eyewear uses wood to result in a profound lightness and comfort level for wearer. To encourage wearers to inject fun and their own personality, these spectacles which are available exclusively at T.O.T. allow for customization of various colors for your frame front and temples.

Urban is another exclusive label which invented the use of a patented S-clip to lock the frame front to the temples in replacement of conventional screws and soldering, thus improving on durability and flexibility of the spectacle frame.

Look at the variety of eyewear to choose from! I'm so spoilt fo choice!!!
