Onboard Singapore Cable Car‏ with DC Comics Super Heroes

What is a perfect weekend to you?

To me, a perfect weekend is about spending quality time with family and friends exploring new place of interest.

I had a great Saturday with activities packed to the brim for me.
Began my day at Faber Peak Singapore for the official launch of the latest Singapore Cable Car Campaign. Singapore Cable Car has unveiled their the new collaboration for its 40th Anniversary Celebrations.

It's been almost 2 years since I last took Singapore Cable Car, I totally missed it. The other time I took was in the night time so I really wanted to try the one in the day to catch the spectacular view of the Singapore's city skyline.

Singapore Cable Car is delighted to bring yet another innovative cable car ‘joyride’ experience to local residents and overseas travellers with the collaboration with Pacific Licensing Studio (PLS) and Warner Bros. Consumer Products.

We can now experience Asia’s First-Ever DC Comics Super Heroes Cable Car in Singapore. What beats flying together with your favourite super heroes.

Let's hear more about it at the launch.

I was here together with  my buddy, Christine.

The mayor was updating us about the latest news happening in town: The Joker has been up to mischief in Singapore and caught lurking around the waters near HarbourFront. The DC Comics Super Heroes are coming together to fight The Joker.

Faber Peak Singapore, located at a high of 100 metres above the sea, will be the mission-base of the renowned Super Heroes. For the next 10 months, Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and Green Lantern will also be taking to the skies in the Singapore Cable Car which has been identified as the perfect vehicle to combat evil and save the day!

They will be here with us from 31 May 2014 to 31 Mar 2015.

A spectacular view of Faber Peak.

In creating an immersive and differentiated experience, there will be lots of activities for the young (and the young at heart!) – all at the Peak of Mount Faber. 

Mark the date in your diary on Saturday, 14 June. It's Super Heroes Day. 
Celebrate Father's Day with the DC Comics Super Heroes. Several Super Hero-themed activities have been planned for the little heroes and the big heroes.

Before you onboard the cable car, remember to download 'Fly with super heroes' mobile app to enjoy one-of-a-kind experience where you can ‘fly’ with your DC Comics Super Heroes in the cable car ride.

We were ready to onboard the 'Batman' themed cable car. 
Excitement came rushing over me.
Beware of the photo spam.

I always thought this part would be scary like the moment we ventured out, we will be going down the slope.
But in actual fact, I don't feel anything like that. The ride is smooth and steady, you won't feel scared at all.

Check out the cable car cabin. Both the cabins’ exterior and interior were decked out in ‘DC Comics Super Hero’ graphic wraps.

There will be a couple of QR codes present in the cabin, look for it and scan using 'Fly with super heroes' mobile app. The super hero will be out to save the day.

Woohoo, Batman came out and protect us throughout our ride.
We alighted at HarbourFront and hopped on to Wonder Woman cabin.

Gotcha, Wonder Woman was spanning across the sea.
I really think the app is super cool.

I could even take selfie with Wonder Woman. I had so much fun playing with the mobile app. Come try it too.

Download the app here:

After having fun with playing the app for almost half of the journey, I shall use the other half of the time to enjoy the scenery and for selfie time.

Leave the hustle and bustle of everyday city life behind and take a scenic joyride with Singapore Cable Car.

Did you see the two speed boats below?
It was actually Singapore Navy FCU (Fast Craft Utility). Navy@Vivo is back.

Enjoying a bird's eye view of the Sentosa-HarbourFront precinct. The view of Sentosa is so serene.

I enjoyed the cable car ride with my lovely companion (:
We all wore our super hero mask, can you identify us?

There was a meet and greet session with the super heroes and I grabbed a photo opportunity with them.

Booth for hero nail art.

Felt a little awkward when I queued for the nail art because of the most of the people queuing were kids. 
Never mind, I am the young at heart. *Thick skin*

Say hello to my "Wonder Woman" nail art.
It's really beautiful isn't it? I love this design very much (:
The manicurist also compliment me for having nice and long finger nail. Thank you! Thank you!
Anyone wanna sponsor me for manicure? Hehe..

After getting my nails done, it's time to bid goodbye to Faber Peak.

Took the Superman cable car cabin back to HarbourFront.

Is Superman your favourite super hero?

Beauty Review - Cure Natural Aqua Gel

Sponsored Review

Exfoliation removed the dead skin cells on our skin surface, leaving our skin brighter and smoother.

It is a basic skincare must-have to prevent skin problems such as enlarged pores, blackheads, pimples, blemishes and dull skin tone.

This is why exfoliating is an important step that we should not miss in our skincare regime.
So today I will be introducing you a star product for exfoliating:

Cure Natural Aqua Gel.

This is Japan’s No.1 Best Selling Exfoliator for 7 years. 1 bottle of the aqua gel is sold every 12 seconds in Japan! After using it, I find that this product is really amazing. No wonder it is loved by everyone.

Why is this the best selling Exfoliator in Japan?

Cure Natural Aqua Gel is a gentle, non-abrasive water-based exfoliating gel that contains no fragrance, no alcohol, no artificial preservatives or colouring. It helps to remove dead skin cells gently and effectively to help in skin renewal for softer, smoother and brighter skin.

It is suitable for all skin types, even sensitive skin. 

How to use Cure?

After washing your face, towel dry your skin.
Remove the stopper of Cure Natural Aqua Gel.

Pump a dab of gel on your finger. 
Apply on your face and massage in a circular motion for 30 to 60 seconds to remove dead skin.

The gel is made from 91% hydrogen water. It does not contain any micro-bead, hence it does not cause any discomfort when rubbed again our skin.

Tadaa, after 30 seconds of rubbing.
My dead skin cells and impurities were being lifted up. 

Rinse face with water and follow your daily skin care regime.

My review:

This is really my favourite exfoliator so far. The gel is smooth on skin and does not contain the harsh micro-bead. Immediately after the wash, my skin become brighter and cleaner. It helps to unclog my pores and allows blackheads to be removed easily.

My skin has cleared up quite a fair bit and my big red pimples have started to diminish.

I am using it for other parts of my body too.

Cure Natural Aqua Gel is retailing at $49/250g, it can be found at Watson stores.

Kakis Bistro & Bar - Where Good Friends Hangout

Today I will be recommending you a nice place with beautiful ambience, refreshing drink and decent food to chill out on a weekend or after work:

Kakis Bistro & Bar

Kakis is a bistro & bar tucked away in the corner of Changi Village.

As the name "Kakis" has suggested, this is the place where good friends will hangout together.

At Kakis, you get to relax with the greenery around you, breathe in some fresh air, see the sunset, watch the golfer putting in right beside, dinner with friends, drinks with your mates, groove to the band or simply a romantic getaway with your partner....

Kakis is an al fresco concept bistro & bar. If you are seeking for outdoor dining with greenery surrounding, this is the right place for you. It's a perfect place for networking and catching up session.

Escape ourselves from the hustle and bustle of town into a hidden sanctuary tranquil and natural surrounding.

My OOTD of the day.
Indulging myself in the lush tropical greenery and enjoying the nature in the eco-friendly environment.

Having fun with Linda with all the photo taking, Kakis is the place where great memories await you.

Kakis Bistro & Bar offers a laid-back feel with wooden furniture and greenery view. It's like we are back to nature and this makes me feel calm and at ease.

Very windy over here, pls pardon my messy hair.

My dinner kakis - Linda and GF.
Love the girls so much, we have endless topic to chat about.

There is a wishing tree located at Kakis. 
Everyone is going round and round the tree and make their wishes.

While we were there, we were serenaded with the live band, "The Passerby", entertaining us with top 40s from classic to current. We could also dedicate our song requests too.

Live band performance will only be available on every Friday and Saturday from 7.30pm onwards.

Finally food was served:

First up, Prawn Alioli with Homegrown Lemongrass and Coriander.

My favourite dish of all. They used lemongrass and coriander that they had grown and harvested right at the bistro bar. The refreshing lemongrass added fragrance to the prawns, making it so addictive and irresistible. 

Stir Fry Button Mushroom with Homegrown Kaffir Leaf, Shallots and White Wine.

Yet another appetizing dish that stir up my appetite.

Chicken Quesadilla with Homemade Salsa.

Chicken breast seasoned with salt and pepper. Low in calories and definitely yummy for the tummy.
The dish was pretty decent and makes a perfect dish to serve for appetizer or snack. 

Fries Addiction.

It’s called Fries Addiction for a reason. Linda and I were hooked up with the fries and we can't stop ourselves from eating.
The fries were coated with what taste like curry seasoning, so tempting.

Aglio Olio with a fusion-taste of home grown kaffir leaf.

This is yet another dish that you should try. The herbs and spices enhanced the flavour of the plain pasta. Accompanied with juicy fresh prawns, this dish is now perfect for our main course.

Fish & Chips.

Well, I must say we had lots of fries that night.
This was the traditional fish & chips served with tartar sauce. The dish tasted decent.

Ended my dinner with the lurking Red Velvet Cake.

Having a good meal is great, having a good meal with great friends is even better.
