Save My Bag, 100% From Italy - Read Until The End For A Tiny Christmas Surprise!

Merry Christmas!

By the way, here's what I'm listening to right now while blogging this post:

I'm going to share my jaw-dropping moments about their bag with you as well as ending this post with a Christmas-New Year Giveaway to a lucky individual who's reading this.

GOOD LUCK!

The First SAVE MY BAG Flagship Store in Singapore

Sings: SAVE MY BAG is coming to town!

Distributed in 30 countries and more than 700 selected boutiques worldwide, SAVE MY BAG (SMB) is now available in Singapore at Wheelock Place.

This new Italian brand is developed in Bergamo in 2013 by Stefano and Valentina Agazzi.

Valentina even flew in specially for the launch of its first flagship store in Singapore. She possesses such a sweet and gentle personality and is so likeable at first sight. I promised to bring her around Singapore the next time she visits :)

I was also delighted to meet two beautiful ladies, Christine and Melody, who brought in this brand to Singapore. 

100% Made In Italy, SAVE MY BAG has more than 30 different colours and a total of 11 different models of which, 6 are currently available in Singapore. In 2016, SMB is looking at bringing in a total of 100 colours, which were recently launched in Milan.

As the name indicates,  SMB was originally an idea to protect our own bags, like a cover. It soon grew so full of personality that it became a cult bag of its own.

Look at the beautiful colours!

I can't wait to carry them all.

Now available in 30+ colours, 100 in Year 2016!

*Finds a Mirror*

Jaw-dropping Moment 01

 I took one of the designs and was astonished to realise how light it felt the moment I carried it. Bags of SMB are made of Poly-Fabric with Lycra, a material use for sports and swimming apparels. Weighing barely 400grams, SMB is one of the lightest bag I've ever carried.  

Not to mention that it can hold up to about 15KG of load.

 

Is it me or did I just notice that the material is glittered?

Jaw-dropping Moment 02

With the use of this material, SMB is not only light but also rain proof and washable by hand or in the washing machine. Just remember to set it to cold water and the delicate cycle function.

And you'll never have to bring out a dirty bag again!

Go for white, yellow, turquoise and even neon colours without fretting over having to clean it yourself, hohoho.

Jaw-dropping Moment 03

Call me a 'mountain-tortoise' but this is the first time I'm seeing a 'made in Italy' tag.

The base of the bag has a layer of hard-board support so you don't have to worry about your SMB bag losing its shape.

Very soon, the rest of us followed suit.

You'll be surprised that these bags cost less than S$200 each.

CPOP Song Introduction 02 


热气球 by Aki 黃淑惠


热气球  is pronounced as 'Re Qi Qiu', which means 'Hot Air Balloon'.

Sis introduced it to me 2 weeks ago and I've been listening to it ever since. 

I'll be sharing with you a CPOP Song at the beginning of all my blog posts.
Read here to find out why.

I think the reason behind why I choose to share this CPOP segment at the beginning of the post instead of at the end is just so that you can listen to the song while reading the rest of my entry like how I'm listening to this same song(on repetition) while blogging. :)

The Singer


Aki Huang Shu Hui(黃淑惠) is Malaysian who was born in China. She has written songs for singers like Angela Zhang Shao Han, Hebe Tian, Rainie Yang Cheng Lin etc. Read more. Re Qi Qiu is a song from her 2nd song album (Year 2006).

The Song


I'll do my best to explain what the song lyrics meant in summary:

The song is about a girl sharing her memories of promises which were promised by her other half in her previous relationship: the promise of traveling with her on a hot air balloon, the promise of giving her happiness.

Crying alone in a rainy season, she asked herself for reasons why this relationship had to come to an end: her bad tantrums, stubbornness to compromise in the relationship, her over-reliance on her boyfriend and his fear for all the above.

What's left of this relationship is nothing except a deflated hot air balloon & empty promises.

Lyrics:

消失了 爱的影子 

Xiao Shi Le  Ai De Ying Zi
随风飘走 不再回头 
Sui Feng Piao Zou  Bu Zai Hui Tou

留下了 你给我的承诺 

Liu Xia Le  Ni Gei Wo De Cheng Nuo

再见了 亲爱的你 
Zai Jian Le Qing Ai De Ni
孤独的 热气球泄了气 
Gu Du De Re Qi Qiu  Xie Le Qi
下不停 的雨季 
Xia Bu Ting De Yu Ji
雨滴 落在 我眼里 
Yu Di Luo Zai Wo Yan Li

你说过 带我去飞行 在热气球里 
Ni Shuo Guo Dai Wo Qu Fei Xing Zai Re Qi Qiu Li
划过的流星都是爱我的证明 
Hua Guo De Liu Xing Dou Shi Ai Wo De Zheng Ming
你说过 不会离开我不会留下我 
Ni Shou Guo Bu Hui Li Kai Wo Bu Hui Liu Xia Wo
每一次都会给我很多的快乐 
Mei Yi Ci Dou Hui Gei Wo Hen Duo De Kuai Le

是不是我的坏脾气永远的任性 
Shi Bu Shi Wo De Huai Pi Qi  Yong Yuan De Ren Xing
会给你太多太多太多的恐惧 
Hui Gei Ni Tai Duo Tai Duo Tai Duo De Kong Ju
我想我也许太依赖让你受伤害 
Wo Xiang Wo Ye Xu Tai Yi Lai Rang Ni Shou Shang Hai
其实你早就想要离开 
Qi Shi Ni Zao Jiu Xiang Yao Li Kai

你说过带我去飞~

Ni Shou Guo Dai Wo Qu Fei~

划过的流星都是爱我的证明 
Hua Guo De Liu Xing Dou Shi Ai Wo De Zheng Ming
你说过 不会离开我不会留下我 
Ni Shou Guo Bu Hui Li Kai Wo Bu Hui Liu Xia Wo
每一次都会给我很多的快乐 
Mei Yi Ci Dou Hui Gei Wo Hen Duo De Kuai Le

是不是我的坏脾气永远的任性 
Shi Bu Shi Wo De Huai Pi Qi  Yong Yuan De Ren Xing
会给你太多太多太多的恐惧 
Hui Gei Ni Tai Duo Tai Duo Tai Duo De Kong Ju
我想我也许太依赖让你受伤害 
Wo Xiang Wo Ye Xu Tai Yi Lai Rang Ni Shou Shang Hai
其实你早就想要离开 
Qi Shi Ni Zao Jiu Xiang Yao Li Kai

CROCS Spring/Summer Collection Fashion Showcase 2012

I was sharing with you  that I was super scared but had so much fun at my first hosting event, Crocs Fashion Show 2012.

It was nerve-wrecking and I made a few mistakes. But Kovit Ang, a professional stylist and our VIP guest of Crocs Fashion Show 2012, had been really patient with me. All the clarifications to confirmed, me turning up 1 hour late for our meet up, stammering on stage when asking him questions...

Kovit Ang

He gave me full cooperation, full encouragement & told me plenty of jokes to keep me relax.
Thank you, Kovit!

Kovit first made his foray into the fashion industry more than a decade ago.

Both locally and in the region, he has accumulated vast experience, directing and producing shows and shoots for numerous brands involving many international labels including Agnes B, Burberry, Chanel, G-Star, Gucci and more.  These shows include Vietnam Next Top Model Season Final show & Supermodel Me Season 2, just to name a few amongst others.

I know Kovit previously while we did a movie production together in Year 2009. He was the fashion & imaging stylist for the movie. Jovial, easy-going, fun-loving; always humble, always willing to share his ideas, jokes & smiles! These are some of the traits he possessed which made him remembered so vividly!

I love this guy. <3

Kovit is the appointed professional stylist by Crocs for the New Crocs New You Makeover Contest. The winner will be able to work with him and be all prepared for the Regional Crocs Makeover Contest representing Singapore!

Also, Kovit will provide some great fashion tips via the New Crocs New You Website!
Stay up to date with Crocs fashion!


About Crocs Shoes

Over the years, Crocs shoes have changed so much!

They are no longer just shoes with holes, made of rubber, stones-look alike. Their shoes are so versatile, from work to play, you name it, they have it! In additional, the shoes ain't just for ladies, the men are in for a treat too!

With over 300 styles of designs to choose from, every pair of Crocs shoes is made with Crocslite material which is the proprietary, closed cell resin material. This material is soft, non marking, odor-resistant, light and best of all, each pair of shoes conforms to your feet.

What I'm trying to say is, Crocs shoes are very comfortable to wear! Not only that, they are so stylish and easy to match: sandals, flats, covered shoes, heels, wedges, work shoes.

Watch this video of the Crocs fashion show:

I feel that my friends who were seated at the front rows in front of the stage made me feel more at ease. Thank you Fenny, Yingzi, Bro Leong, Jac Jac, Bro Ang, Kaye and the rest of the bloggers. 

Here's a shot taken with Bro Leong & Bro Ang that day.

I was very surprised to receive my favourite sunflower & a bottle of honey candies from Silver zir personally! She was supposed to be in China for her DeniZen campaign! She told me later that her flight was delayed so she could come down to show her support.  

Sis was present too. She was seated with Zir.

I FEEL SO LOVED!
