Just read Clara's post and it gave me shivers. It really is amazing how the internet can make us humans interact with one another just like that. Everything is made easier, closer and reachable. And sharing & helping is made even more possible. Thank you for the beautiful post, Clara...:')

I myself have been receiving so many emails and applications for my "Level UP! Scholarship Program", and it really does break my heart to hear their stories on how they fight and struggle to have education. Right now I'm in the process of screening some candidates that Up will be funding. For those of you who don't have any financial worries on your education, please study hard. Education is really important for your future. And don't say that grades are not important. They are important. Grades motivate you to study harder and achieve higher...:)

Dinosaurs Live!

Soooooo finally got the time to share with you guys about some other thing I got to see in Singapore during my recent trip...I went to see the DINOSAURS LIVE! EXHIBITION in Science Centre...yayyyy! :)

It's a highly interactive and educational dinosaur exhibition with soooo many awesome features. Here you get to see life-sized dinosaurs which actually move and make sounds hehehe. Luckily they don't bite. Or tickle. But seriously, the animatronic dinosaurs actually show intricate movements of their bodies, tails, eyes, stomachs, fingers and errr...even tongues. Creepy yet again awesome.

The biggest dinosaurs on display were Diplodocus, Omeisaurus, T-rex and Deinosuchus. From this exhibition, I was, for the first time, introduced to a female dinosaur, Maiasaura, a.k.a. the "good mother" dinosaur. So if us good girls were dinosaurs, we'd be Maiasauras! :D

Other activities available were the Dino Drawing, Dig Pit and Dino Ride. I seriously wish I was allowed to ride the Dino Ride. Too bad it was only for kids...;p And oooh, they also had this baby dinosaur robot that actually moves very smoothly like a real creature. Like a pet! The best of all...the Dinosaurs Live! iPad app!! Check out my video below to see what it's like..:)

If you guys go to Singapore, you should definitely visit this exhibition...:)

PS: Adding on my previous post about the Singaporean online shop, Love, Bonito...turns out that for this November, shipping to Indonesia is FREE! Seriously, girls...as in ZERO DOLLARS...hahah! Definitely gonna shop while this promo lasts...yayyyy! :)

During my recent Singapore trip, I was invited to visit the warehouse of Love, Bonito, a Singaporean fashion line owned by three gooooooorgeous girls; Velda Tan, Rachel Lim and Viola Tan. Feel so honored! :)

I've actually never heard of this brand nor the online shop before so I was really excited to see the warehouse and all the stuff they have myself. Joining me were bloggers Clara & Cheesie...:)

The three ladies were so kind to let us play around and try on their clothes and shoes, and they also allowed us to pick and bring home some pieces for free...very kind, yes? :D

These were the items I chose...

Love, Bonito is only available online, and they happily ship worldwide including to Indonesia! They have many lines such as their premium line 'COVET', 'Basics by Love, Bonito', 'Swimwear by Love, Bonito' as well as their most recently launched, 'Bridesmaids by Love, Bonito'. From what I saw, their pieces are very universal, in the sense that it can appeal to many types of people because the designs are nothing edgy nor loud. Nothing over the top, just wearable for day and night.

If you like their stuff, for the month of November (1st - 30th), Love, Bonito is extending a flat shipping rate of SGD$7.00 to their international orders inclusive of registered mails. This is a very very very good deal for us Indonesians, you know? :)

SHOP AWAY NOW! :)

And do join Love, Bonito on Twitter and Facebook...:)

PS: Happy faces after getting freebies...;p
