[Mint.Music.Lifestyle] Win A Brand New Pair Of ELLE SUNGLASSES This Mother's Day!

I AM REFERRING TO THIS:

*Squeals*

It's one of the pairs from ELLE's 2014 collection: Inspiration.

Worth S$170 (Retail price: S$173), this smart and chic sunshades from ELLE blends contemporary fashion with timeless elegance. The rounded, oversized frame (Paparazzi-style we called it now) appears in sumptuous new demi interpretations of blue, red and purple, while the pure black style is a must-have accessory classic. 

You're looking at their BLUE collection in the picture above.

I've always like shades with oversized frames.

They give you more coverage when u haven't any make up on and they make great hairbands! 

Sometimes I just like to tuck my hair up with the shades so they won't fall off as I read.

*for illustration purpose*

I have a pair of oversize-framed shades of my own and I love it!

I was camwhoring halfway when Bubble seemed really interested in whatever I'm doing so I thought he should join in the fun too!Made him wore MinuteManSG's shades and I think he likes it!

MinutemanSG is gonna kill me for this but I don't care oOPS.

#LikeABoss

Bubble Leong you're too cute!

We should do another photoshoot at the beach with shades, together~

So there, the brand new pair of ELLE shades is for YOU.

(although I very much would like to have it for myself, cries~)

Mother's day is just around the corner so you can enter this Giveaway contest for:

• your dearest mummy and tell her you love her.
• yourself this Mother's Day.
• your grandmama who's equally hip.
• your wife to appreciate her for being the best mummy in the world!

======================================================

It's been awhile since I've read.

Feel free to share a story about your mummy or wife/grandmother as a mummy and how much you appreciate them.

I'll go read them up, I promise!

I want to.

To my dearest Mummy Chua:

Thank you for always believing in me.

Thank you for supporting what I do even though it's not the usual mainstream job any ordinary kid in the neighborhood holds. I've made you worry for the longesst time.

每次讲到这里都会一把鼻涕一把眼泪。

T.T

We've been through so many ups and downs together.

I wouldn't have become who I am, the happy & lively Mint Leong, without your love and support during my most defiant and depressing period. 

The times when I was led astray, rushed to the hospital with an almost failing liver, ran away from home and school, after I suffered from the most heartbroken relationship, when I had no friends, when I got into trouble with authorities and so many more...

OMG Y I SO NAUGHTY & DRAMATIC WHEN I WAS YOUNGER!

妈妈,你最伟大了！

虽然重复了很多次，我还是要再大声说：

“我会更疼, 更珍惜你的！母亲节快乐！“

[Mint.Music.Journey] Listen To A Newly Written Song With The KaseSG UNIK Sound Sphere Speakers

Signing up for the WDA Song Writing Music Career Programme was one of the most important decisions in my life. 

= Meeting Like-minded Friends =

Within a short span of 3 months, I befriended a group of like-minded friends.

Our friendship continue to blossom even though the course has come to an end. 

We continue to meet up often and do funny videos, covers and write songs together.

Some of us even started forming bands of our own!

Watch this parody about Terrible Auditions a group of us did together in Dec last year:

Local band Mu Tou Ren with their original song about a geeky stalker.

This song came in as the 1st runner up in Impressario 2013.

Read about it HERE.

A jingle Stephen, Fif and I wrote and produced for the WDA Music Career Programme titled Will You Live Your Dream:

The list goes on...

There are endless videos and links to share, all done by my other classmates.

Covers, MVs, Originals, Soundtracks, Winning Song Contests…

I AM PROUD OF EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.

*Law of attraction*

2 years ago,

I wish that my life would be surrounded by friends who is passionate about music, is involved in music projects, like to explore music-related projects together and voila, it is happening!

= Brand New Original Song Is In Progress =

It all started with a random conversation with Zhihao after our Christmas Carol gig last year. 

He shared that he had written a song about a relationship between an angel and a devil.

He felt that the lyrics could be improved.

I thought that the concept of this song was interesting, so I asked if I could help him with the lyrics and if there's a need, tweak the melody a bit.

We started drafting and recording raw demos (handphone recordings) for each other,

fine-tuning the song until we are at this stage where we were both agreeable with this version.

This is the first completed draft of our new song: Yao Wo Zen Me Shuo (要我怎么说).

The title of the song literally means 'How Do You Want Me To Say'.

2 weeks ago, 

Zhihao and I finally met up to record the vocal track of our song after he's done the guitar and piano soundtrack.

The sound coming out from the speakers of the Macbook is always so soft even at its maximum volume! Thank goodness for my new sphere speakers from The Kase, 

Zhihao and I could listen to and practise our song with ease.

The Kase UNIK Sound's Stereo Bluetooth Speakers On-The-Go 

The Kase Enters The Music Market With Latest Line, UNIK Sound.

This pair of bluetooth speakers is:

 Portable.

Stereo.

Has a built-in lithium battery.

Duo bluetooth connection.

Up to 5 hours of continuous playtime (for bluetooth connection)

= Gelish Nail Art By Lavishing Me =

Side track a bit here because I caught my rainbow-painted nail in the above shot: 

These #roomiesTV inspired nail art was painted by Lavishing Me.

They are having a promotion now at www.facebook.com/LavishingMe .

First 50 gets SUPER special promotion for your Gelish package.

*Good things must share*

OKAY.

Back to my hot pink speakers!

Easy-to-understand buttons: volume, pause and play.

The KASE bluetooth sphere speakers also come with an audio cable which allows plug in BOTH speakers to ONE audio jack directly. 

Convenient enough :D

Zhihao helping me to attach the micro USB cable to charge the speakers while I try to connect the speakers on bluetooth. 

Again, ONE micro USB cable can charges TWO speakers at the same time!

Pair up done.

WE ARE GOOD TO GO!

The soundtrack is also set up and ready for recording on Logic Pro:

We deliberately set up stereo setting for our soundtrack to test out the stereo function of the speakers.

(bottom left +63 button means the sound will be heard from the right speaker)

It works!

So cool to see hot pink sphere speakers on both sides of the laptop.

Makes me happy~

The Lyrics are downloaded onto my iPad Air for reference during the recording. 

Did I tell you how much I adore my customised iPad Air silicon casing?

I DID!

My iPad Air casing was customised at The Kase at ION Orchard (#B2-27).

They have another branch at Parkway Parade (#B1-150/151).

Go down and have fun customising your casings!

To my friends who've headed down to get them, 有眼光.

Read HERE about my visit to The Kase ION Orchard to get my mobile and tablet accessories customised.

The Bluetooth sphere speakers on-the-go are also available for sale at the outlets.

Available in Pink, Black, Green and Purple.

Retail price: S$159.90/ SET

shhhh…..

Check out behind-the-scenes of Zhihao and I practising our song with the Sphere Speakers and Bubble Leong disturbing us at the same time (or maybe it's me disturbing him). 

Too adorable!
