SHINE Youth Festival 2012 Closing Conference

Hi Huneybees,

It's August already and last week marks the end of the SHINE Youth Festival. It has been a great month and there was plenty of events during the whole of July. At the festival closing, Mr Chan Chun Sing (Acting Minister for Community Development, Youth and Sports / Chairman of National Youth Council) drew time out to address the event before rushing to the airport for London Olympics 2012.

Do you like the all new NYC logo?

The arrival of Mr Chan Chun Sing and was flooded by the media to do interviews...

The conference began with a prize giving to those who participated in the Panasonic & OMY's SHINE Photo & Video Competition as well as presentation in appreciation for all participating partners and media.

Daniel Ong was the host for the night.

Smile! This is a candid shot! Everyone so "cereal".

Excited students seeing their teacher and classmate on stage.

Juz-B performed their infamous acapella number.

And there was a talk show interview with the representative of Glee Studios.

The SHINE Advocates spoke about the Pledge to SHINE and below Justine Lee, the Stars of SHINE 2011 awardee shared his experience since being awarded last year. He was the guy behind Sole Apparels and living by his motto  lives by the personal motto – “Find a need and meet it. Find a hurt and heal it”, he established the company with a vision to provide a “sole for every soul”. Their concept of “Buy One, Give One” donates a pair of shoes to a needy child in China, for every pair of footwear sold.

Justine awarded the Favourite Stars of SHINE, Choo Pei Ling.

Then, it was time for the Stars of SHINE 2012 Awardees and SHINE Favourite Nominees to take the stage. Not only did they dared to dream, they also pursued their aspirations that led to action for the community. 

As everyday heroes who stepped forward to touch the lives of others and make a difference, Colin Wan pursued his passion for yo-yo by forming Spinworkx to reach out to other youthes; Jonathan Ng battled kidney failure and numerous adversities to become a health advocate and community leader; and Sarethkumar Kunasilan overcame the loss of his father at the age of 15 to bag various academic awards and inspire other youths as a volunteer mentor.

The closing festival ended with a group photo with Mr Chan Chun Sing

Mr Will Stein chatting with his guests.

Launched by entrepreneur couple Will and Rina Stein in 2002, PHILIP STEIN, the established brand can now be purchased exclusively in Singapore at Millenia Walk (Unit Number #01-30) and Tangs VivoCity.

This very day, guests witnessed the grand opening of the flagship store, PHILIP STEIN at Millenia Walk with distinguished guests and definitely with the Founder and President of PHILIP STEIN - Mr. Will Stein. But before we get to that, let's take a look at the beautiful watches...

Bringing an innovative perspective to the world of luxury products, PHILIP STEIN has successfully conglomerated lifestyle, health and design into its watches. Unrivalled in appearance for its distinctive features such as a dual time zone and interchangeable straps, PHILIP STEIN is the first in history to incorporate frequency-based technology into a luxury watch brand to improve one’s well-being.



Not just known for their sleep inducing qualities, PHILIP STEIN watches have shown in clinical studies to help the wearer be more resistant to stress and an improved overall wellbeing. PHILIP STEIN is the “Feel Good Watch” because it makes you look and feel good.

Natural Frequency Technology
Through a proprietary process, natural frequencies are embedded in a thin metal disk, which, when placed inside the PHILIP STEIN watch, impart their unique “tuning” resonances to the wearer’s human biofield. Natural Frequency Technology in PHILIP STEIN watches is based on key frequencies beneficial to life and health. The prominent frequency is the frequency of the earth that is harmonious and grounding to life. It is the same frequency that a person is in during a relaxed and unstressed stage. When wearing the watch, the human energy field begins to interact with the frequencies of the PHILIP STEIN watch. The energy field of the person becomes bigger and stronger and as a result the person is more resistant to stress. Philip Stein customers have reported reduction in stress and jet lag, better overall well-being, increased powers of concentration and improved sleep quality.

“When you sit quietly or meditate, close your eyes and relax, your brainwaves are in a very calming state with frequencies between 8-12hz, also called the Alpha state. Embedding this and other beneficial frequencies inside the watch therefore acts directly on the human biofield, promoting relaxation and making the wearer more resilient and adaptable to stress.” --- Will Stein.

Wine Wands? What an interesting find for wine lovers like hubby and I. Will be bringing hubby down again to check it out...
