TEDx NTU 2018: Greater than the Sum of its Parts

ABBEY: This is the second TEDx conducted by NTU that I attended. The theme is “Greater than the sum of its parts”. That is true as the each speaker speech and their passion is really greater than all of them. 

 I really learned from Jingmei Li; the cancer detective. The famous question : Are your curing cancer? was answered with “We’re getting there” is a positive assurance that someone is doing something.
Daniel Teh is having more than 80% of his workforce comprise of people with special needs. Not that he wants sympathy but empathy to his employees.

And who would forget about the fairytale story of Violet (relationship manager)? She stressed that better connectivity is being done offline and not online.

Kudos to TEDxNTU organizers for the successful event. The program, logistics, and food is getting better and better.

 WILL: Why would I love to watch TEDx? It is somewhat giving us a piece of the speaker's brain and their daily lives. Isn't it facinating? They are wrapping up the piece of their lives in few minutes!  

Cancer as all you know gave a devastating news for every family who is affected. Well, Abbey and I are not exempted on that. We felt glad that there people really dedicating their lives to study this cancer disease. Thanks Jingmei Li. 

Food rescuer, Daniel Tay, I do hope that it open up some minds that we are not only throwing away rubbish but we are throwing away tons of good food just to maintain the "quality" looking one in the grocery stores. 

Who will not be touched of Violet's story? Yes it is quite fad but the reality in every love story is that we are not living inside any social media. We must go out and get to know more the people we are dating.  

Oh one more! The former gangster, Daniel Teh, that helps people to come-up on ways in encouraging his staffs and lifting them up! 

Till the next TEDx! Thanks again NTU!

🇨🇭Läderach, Lindt or Cailler? Which is the Best Chocolate Museum in Switzerland?

ABBEY: I am a BIG fan of chocolate. And there’s no way we’ll be missing the chocolate factories when we go to Switzerland. Upon landing in Zurich, we dropped our luggages at the hotel and off we go to our first order of “business”: go to House of Läderach at Bilten. The train staff even told us that it’s far and we should go to Lindt instead. Little did he know that we will go there as well. House of Läderach is not that much crowdy and we liked it. We explore the museum how the chocolate was made. We had a sensory experience where we got a chance to taste their chocolate while watching a video that explains how to spot fresh chocolates. Upon seeing their molds, process, and their story we were led to four fountains. Yes, they are all chocolate; milk, dark, white, and blonde. We also experienced to be a chocolatier even for a while. I made my own bar with pistachios and pine nuts and completed it with a ribbon. And while in queue at the cashier we were given samples of liqueur chocola...

Duo Deluxe Golden Village - Paya Lebar Laser-projected Movie Hall

ABBEY: Golden Village Paya Lebar boasts its laser projection system and its spacious twin leather seats. So we went ahead and watch Justice League on a weekend.  Only the food and drinks bought in the cinema will be allowed.  I thought the seats are able to recline but its not. The space between the other twins are not that apart. I can still feel the feet or maybe the knee of the person behind me.  When it comes to the projection I don’t find any difference with other cinema. Maybe I’m not just keen into that technology. Duo Deluxe Golden Village - SEAT  Duo Deluxe Golden Village - TICKET PRICE Duo Deluxe Golden Village -  WILL:  We are not that bored to the old seat or lazy boys kind of cinemas, we just want to explore new things to serve our readers. So here, we went to the first laser cinema of Golden Village at Singapore Post (Paya Lebar).  This Duo Deluxe is one of the latest offering of GV! It has leather seat...

Shaw Theatres premiere Review: Is This Premium Cinema Worth It?

ABBEY:  Recently, we finally got to experience the newly renovated Shaw Theatres Lido along Orchard Road just in time for The Devil Wears Prada 2 hitting the silver screen. From the moment we stepped in, it was clear that Shaw has elevated the cinema experience into something far more premium and comfortable for moviegoers in Singapore. One of the first things you will notice is the impressive selection of food and beverage options available. Guests are spoiled for choice with concepts like Centro, Espresso and Matcha Bar , and even a Cocktail Bar, making it feel more like an upscale lounge than a traditional cinema. If you are planning a date night or weekend movie experience, the value is surprisingly decent too. A SGD90 package already includes a pair of Lido Premiere tickets along with two SGD15 F&B credits. The service also stood out during our visit. An usher personally welcomed us and guided us to our leather recliner seats while explaining how the in-seat servi...
