Hi Huneybees,

UNIQLO, Japan’s No. 1 Casual Wear Brand, continues to expand its presence in Singapore with the upcoming opening of its’ largest store to date. The UNIQLO store in Bugis+, formerly known as Iluma, will open its doors to the public on June 8, 2012.

Located in connecting units at Level 1 and 2, this latest UNIQLO outlet is a double-storey that spans an area of approximately 20,000 square feet with an in-store escalator that joins the two levels. Following the recent success of the Parkway Parade opening where 450 customers queued up early on before the store opened, UNIQLO Bugis+ will be the brand’s 7th store and its first street-level shop in Singapore.

Currently undergoing asset enhancement work, tenants at Level 1 and 2 consisting of various brands, including UNIQLO, are expected to begin trading in June this year. Iluma is right across Bugis Junction, another go-to shopping locale in the area, and is connected via a link bridge.

UT collections such as UT Grand Prix Coca Cola, Metal Gear 25^th Anniversary tees, Mobile Suit Gundam graphic tee, Barbie and special UT 10^th Anniversary tees will be launched in conjunction with UNIQLO opening in Bugis+. With a larger floor space and an exciting selection of the brand’s casual wear staples, UNIQLO Bugis+ is certainly set to be a go-to destination for the area’s shopping crowd.

Interview with Pixie Lott

Hi Huneybees,

Yesterday, I blogged about Pixie Lott's packed schedule in Singapore last week and I'm very happy I got the chance to do a short interview with Pixie Lott through email, all thanks to Universal Music and the pretty Pixie Lott for taking time and making this happen...

1.    Why name your album Young Foolish Happy?  
I named this album after a song from when I was growing up by the Tams, "Be Young, Be Foolish, Be Happy" - a good message to everyone.

2.    Which is your favourite song in the album?  
"We Just Go On"

3.    How did the collaboration with G.Dragon and T.O.P. come about? What was the most challenging obstacle that you have to overcome while working with them?  
I love K Pop and really wanted to collaborate with K Pop artists.  I liked Big Bang's music and so it was arranged for this to happen, there was no obstacles.

4.    Which artiste would you wish to work with? And why?  
I have collaborated with Stevie Wonder on "Young, Foolish, Happy" where he plays the harmonica on the middle 8 but would love to collaborate with him where he sings. :)

5.    You call your fans Crazy Cats and you wear cat ears, why the feline obsession?  
When I was young my mum called my sister, brother and I crazy cats as we was always running around everywhere.  Crazy cats just stuck and then all my friends started to use it!.

6.    You have an amazing figure! What's your secret - any exercise/diet regime to share - to maintain that body?  
I do try to eat healthy and drink water.

7.    Thank you Pixie Lott for you time, what’s your shout-out to you Crazy Cats out there?  
Hi to all my Singapore Crazy Cats, thank you for all your support and welcoming me into your beautiful country, Love Pixie XOXO

Pixie Lott in Singapore !!!

Hi Huneybees,

Last week, Singapore saw the appearance of Pixie Lott for the first time. I attended the showcase that was only opened to 800 Crazy Cats, media and partners. It was an intimate performance that got the crowd dancing and roused up to a great night.


Pixie Lott was only in town for 3 days (16th-18th May 2012) and she had jam packed events to get as close to her Crazy Cats (in Singapore) as possible. 

On the 16th, after a day of interviews, she even drew time for an intimate night (Radio 913 'Get Styled By Pixie) with 2 lucky fans to shop at TOPSHOP and be styled by Pixie Lott herself!

Day 2 kicks off with an interview and acoustic performance of Pixie Lott’s hit singles ‘All About Tonight’ and ‘Kiss The Stars’ at 987FM studio and then, 3 lucky fans got to spend a cozy afternoon with Pixie Lott, during a karaoke session at K Box Scape, promoted by 987FM.

In the evening, Pixie Lott arrived at Bugis Junction to a sea of crazy cats and curious on-lookers, for her first ever Autograph Session in Singapore! She gracefully signed on her latest ‘Young Foolish Happy’ Asian Deluxe album for all who came.

Yipee! On the 18th, I was super happy to be able to see Pixie Lott perform live within a stone's throw away from me. Her sexy husky voice, her perky attitude, made lots of Crazy Cats singing and dancing along to her songs.

The Crazy Cats fans who donned on cat ears and me dressed to fit the British theme (All thanks to Forever 21). Everyone was patiently waiting and sang along tot he Pixie Lott songs that were playing.

Pixie Lott appeared with sultry black cat eyes makeup, a sexy black dress (leather on top and chiffon below), not forgetting her cat ears and this time, she wore a never seen before wired cat ears. She kickstarted the night by singing her top single - All About Tonight.

She is so pretty! I couldn't stop snapping ~

Adding a touch of local flavour, Pixie Lott was joined on stage by Singapore’s own, Kevin Lester (rap artiste/ songwriter/producer). Also known as "The Lion City Boy", Kevin has taken his music International, playing to audiences in Amsterdam, Cannes, London, and most recently, New York. Check him out here: http://www.bedsty.com/thelioncityboy

Supporting her on guitars, Pixie worked together with Bani Hidir. One of Singapore’s well-known musician, he plays drums for B Quartet, Youthwreck and Tabula, is the front man and guitarist of his own original band Page and is the bassist and singer of one of Timbre's resident bands, 53A.

Last song for the night was 'Kiss The Stars' and we could see more of the audience dancing around and singing along to Pixie. Her songs are simply too catchy and so easy to follow along ~

Perfect way to top off the night, Universal Music Singapore presented her with the Gold Award for Combined Physical and Digital album sales for both ‘Turn It Up’ and ‘Young Foolish Happy’ album!

Congratulations Pixie Lott! I love you~

Special thanks to Universal Music for the wonderful night...

Pixie Lott is coming to Singapore

Hi Huneybees or rather Crazy Cats,

Are you ready for the 'Mama Do' invasion? Yes! The sweet British singer, Pixie Lott will be landing on our shores and there will be an autograph session on 17th May, 7PM at Bugis Junction (Bugis Square @ Level 1). Woo! Let's go!

With over one million albums sold, triple-platinum in the UK, two number one hits including ‘Mama Do’ for the debut album, Pixie Lott releases her new album, 'Young Foolish Happy' late last year that features her UK # 1 hit, ‘All About Tonight’.

All her singles are enjoying good rotation on the radio stations, including ‘Kiss The Stars’, ‘Boys and Girls’, ‘Cry Me Out’, and the latest ‘Dancing On My Own’ (collaboration with Korean sensational G-Dragon and T.O.P. ) and more.

Other than the autograph session, there will also be a Pixie Lott - Young Foolish Happy Showcase on 18 May 2012, 7PM at ZIRCA. I will be there and definitely will share the photos with you guys. I can't wait to catch Pixie Lott! I've been secretly in love with her for super long...
