NEM at GITEX Future Stars Dubai 2018

ABBEY: We were invited to help in introducing and promoting NEM blockchain technology in Gitex Tech Week in Dubai. A booth of NEM was setup under blockchain category and 10 of its projects were also there. It is a great experience to interact with people from various industries, government and education (students included). We also approached other exhibitors for collaboration.
Keynote speeches, futuristic technologies (humanoid robots, flying cars), and arcade games like basketball shootout and air hockey gave the attendees and exhibitors a break from normal routine. Popcorn, hot drinks and cookies flowed at the event. There are also stores for quick snack and lunch.

The highlight for NEM is the MOU signing with Ministry of Community Development (Government of Dubai). This gave the foundation recognition for being a great blockchain platform.


WILL: "Wilma, I need you in Dubai!" Huwaaat?! Well, a man from HQ gave me a heads-up two weeks before. (Still, nothing beats my Ma’am Weng. Haha. She will tell you on the afternoon, and your flight will be tomorrow morning. Haha). 

As a volunteer, it is a moment that you will feel appreciated. Even though we will be there to help the NEM Middle East Team in day time, Abbey and I can make sometime to catch up with our friends and relatives in Dubai. Thank you to NEM FAMILY! 

So what we have in GITEX? We are surrounded by startup from different countries. Wondering why there is no Singapore presence there. Big booths was occupied by startup hubs. There is a room for investors lounge and there too much fun in the area. There’s free basketball, air hockey, free coffee and popcorn! Yum! 

The other hall consists of big boys! Huge boots of Huawei, Oracle and many more! 

Next booth was all white and you know why! That’s the hall of government agencies for all of the emirates. New projects, robotics and NEM MoU with Ministry of Community Development (MOCD) Government of Dubai was signed here. 

NEM will power MOCD’s notarizarion, voting and registry. Wooohooo! Well done NEM Middle East Team! 

We met people from different projects and government who we are seeing to have future collaboration with NEM. 

Thanks GITEX and NEM team! We learned many things just from observing! 

Till next event guys! :)

🇨🇭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...

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...

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...
