Hi Huneybees

Singapore, get ready for PandaMania invasion!!!

YES! We will be receiving our share of PandaMania when Jia Jia and Kai Kai expected to touch down at Changi Airport at 8.20am on 6th September 2012.

The two pandas are on a 10 year loan basis for scientific research purposes from the China and will be housed in a new home at the River Safari located in Mandai. Their new home is rumoured to be 1,225 sq m, air-conditioned, enclosure that costed  S$8.5 million to construct.

However the public could only see Jia Jia and Kai Kai in action in December 2012 after the panda pair has completed a month-long quarantine in Singapore and have been well-familiarized with their new home.

Celebrating Singapore's Birthday, Huney'Z Style

Hi Huneybees,

Last week, the whole nation celebrated birthday for Singapore. On the eve, I hung out with friends and we had a hearty meal and chat. We didn't have to work or study the next day, so we very much stayed till late (Private photos... here are some...).

We played Taiko at the arcade.

And moi, bought the Fifty Shades Trilogy to read.... *winks*

The next day, first thing did was to wake up early and draw a flag on my hand. I've been drawing on my face for a couple of years already, so for this year, I drew the flag on  my hand.

Then you ask what's next? Being up so early, of course it's breakfast and a hearty shopping time after that. This very day, Etude House @ Wisma Atria opens and there was goodies to pick up. Check out my beauty blog for the shopping experience...

Afterwhich, it's the usual, going back to my parents' place to catch the flying-by helicopters bearing the Singapore Flag and of course fireworks!

There's always 2 sets, just in case something happens to the main one...

Every year, I was one of the few to see the helicopters fly by with the Singapore Flag, even before it reaches the Floating Platform. Cool right?

 

Ok, this is airplane display but I forget to bring my extra set of long lens, I could only "see the smoke trails".

 After the display, we quickly had our sumptuous dinner that Mummy Deareast prepared for my Cousin's Birthday. Private photos for that part, so I'm gona show ya the fireworks photos after dinner.

It's nice to see Singapore prosper and growing but sometimes it gets frustrating when the skyline is getting more and more piled up, my vision of the fireworks are getting more and more limited. Even comparing the photos from last year and this year, so much is hidden already. >.<|||

I love you Singapore! Happy Birthday to You! But please don't block my vision anymore can?

Team Singapore for London 2012 Olympic Games

Hi Huneybees,

London 2012 Olympic Games Official Opening Ceremony is just SIX days away and I am very excited and hence decided to write about Singapore's very own team for this summer game - Team Singapore!

Team Singapore is sending 23 Olympians and 8 Paralympians to complete in the world’s foremost sports competition where more than 200 nations participate. Singapore realistic medal hope rests mainly on the Table Tennis woman players Feng Tianwei, Wang Yuegu and Li Jiawei. The Table Tennis man players of  Gao Ning, Yang Zi, Zhan Jian are considered as dark horses although I am hoping for surprises from them!


The rest of Team Singapore are there to complete as part of the necessary investment for their respective sports toward gold medal breakthrough in the regional sport competitions, such as the South East Asia Games and Asian Games.

Do you know that this 2012 London Olympics is special for two special reasons? One of which has an association with Singapore...

Firstly, London was selected as the host city, against cities like Paris, Moscow, Madrid and New York City, during the 117th IOC Session in Singapore on 6th July 2005.

Secondly, London is the first city to officially host the modern Olympic Games three times, having previously done so in 1908 and in 1948.

The London 2012 Olympic Games starts on 27 July with the opening ceremony and ends on 12 August 2012, although the first event begins on 25 July.

Do join me to support Team Singapore - Go Team Singapore!
