[EVENT] Launch of the World's First Museum Interactive AI Ambassador, The Little Prince at MINT Museum of Toys

Meet The Little Prince, the World's first Museum interactive AI Ambassador on your next visit to the MINT Museum of Toys. Designed using a cutting-edge generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology, The Little Prince (AI Ambassador) serves as the museum's information and ticketing platform, by engaging and communicating with visitors through a two-way interaction, providing consistent and accurate information.

I was thrilled to attend the launch event and be among the first few to witness the unveiling and launch. The event kicked off with opening speeches , followed by a live demonstration and in-depth sharing of the innovative generative AI Technology. 

The benefits of using an AI Ambassador include customization to any character, providing two-way live interactions in multiple languages, deployment on any screen, and consistent information provision. 

The unveiling of the AI Ambassador. The Little Prince was chosen as the character for this role because he is an iconic figure who embodies the timeless value of innocence, curiousity and wisdom. With his childlike sense of wonder, he explores the vast universe, cherishing what truly matters in life. Similarly, the museum celebrates the historical, cultural, and social significance of every vintage toy and collectible, making The Little Prince the perfect fit for the AI Ambassador. 

We were served a sumptuous buffet spread for lunch, featuring an assortment of dishes, including traditional nonya kueh. 

Exploring the various sections of the MINT Museum of Toys with Jessie, where we discovered lots of vintage toys and childhood memorabilia. The experience was truly nostalgic.  

We also received a pack of 37 AR cards that we can use to scan and access toys via 2D and 3D animations while exploring the 6 levels of the museum. 

Before we left, we tried interacting with the AI Ambassador, The Little Prince. He was able to share his knowledge about the museum's history and background, introducing us to exhibition themes and toy collections. One potential enhancement I thought would be great is the addition of captions when he speaks. As technology advances, we can expect to see more places utilizing AI and jobs being replaced by AI. Embracing this change is essential. Until next time, stay curious and keep exploring.

Ariston introduces an upgraded range of its AURES electric instant water heaters that are now slimmer and sleeker to fit perfectly into Singaporean homes be it in terms of looks and size.

For those who enjoyed a comforting rain shower experience like me, the AURES Premium+ will fit the bill with its silent pump and rainshower that provides a strong water jet for an optimal shower experience. It is also the quietest with a noise levels of as low as 42.7 dB(A). 

These water heaters are now equipped with Earth-leakage circuit breaker (ELCB) safety mechanism, providing an additional safety point and reduce the risks of electrical shocks. How it works is that, if a dangerous electric leakage is detected, the built-in double pole ELCB in Ariston AURES range will interrupt the electrical circuit. Not only that, there is also the anti-scald technology that reduces the risk of scalding when users turn on the shower. The Ariston AURES range will be available at all authorised dealers from May 2023 retailing from $139.

[Event] Official Launch of Ariston Andris2 Series in Singapore

Ariston is known to be one of the leading water heater brands in Singapore. Pioneering in their state-of-the-art technologies in water heaters, Ariston has launched Singapore's first Constant Temperature technology in its AURES instant water heater range in 2016 and Singapore's first SLIM storage water heater in 2017.

During the official launch event held at the Maison Gallery, Ariston has proudly announced its whole new technology in storage water heaters through the Ariston Andris2 range. This new range of Andris2 storage water heaters are equipped with revolutionary smart technology, a renewed luxury design and a patented titanium heating element. The Andris2 range includes the models Andris2 Top, Andris2 Lux, and Andris2 RS.

The opening speech was given by Mr. Vito Saracino, Managing Director of Ariston Asia Pacific. As the leader of the Ariston Thermo Group in this region, Mr Vito is here to share with us insights about how Ariston Thermo has managed to maintain it's position as the market leader in the entire APAC region, as well as the Group's direction for the year.

"As global leader in water heating Ariston well understands customer's desire for durability, safety, energy saving and design." said Mr. Vito. "The Andris2 range is a unique synthesis of all this. Furthermore, the versions with smart technology and Wi-Fi features bring the shower comfort to a level that no other water heater in the world can reach. We are proud of this small masterpiece, result of years of experience and hard work by Ariston engineers and Italian designers".

Next, Mr. Eddie Lee, Country Manager for Singapore came up to share on the different partnership that Ariston had and also the events like the Annual water day.

Lastly, we had Mr. Francesco Bugliosi, Marketing Manager for Asia Pacific who shared with us a video on The Ariston Comfort Challenge.

it's really incredible to learn that the team went all the way to Greenland to bring the comfort of a hot shower where it seems impossible in that kind of extreme cold weather.

What makes the new Andris2 range stand out from the other models in the market is that they comes with the following patents:

1. Long-lasting Titanium Heating element with lifetime warranty (only for Andris2 Top and Andris2 Lux)

2. Energy-Saving with smart ECO-EVO technology (only for Andris2 Top)

3. AG+ Silver Ions with antibacterial properties for greater hygiene

Let's see a photo of that is made of different heating element after 1 year, after 5 years and after 10 years. Clearly, Titanium is the only one material that can last through time and Arison has always pride itself to develop durable products thus they were the first water heater manufacturer to use titanium against water corrosion. In fact, all of Andris2 models are made with super-ecologic insulation materials and patented full-titanium heating element which assures top heating performance during the whole product life. To prove product durability, this unique component in Andris2 Top & Lux range comes complete with a lifetime warranty.

Now, we take a look at the cutting edge Italian design by renowned art designer Umberto Palermo. This sleek and minimalistic design with beautiful, clean and modern lines is possibly the best-looking water heaters out there. Furthermore, it is so slim that it does not take up too much space in the bathroom and thus means a less cluttered and a more spacious bathroom.

 As everything is moving towards the smart technology, even the water heater now comes with a new Smart Control Technology. The premium Andris2 Top model is the first WiFi-enabled storage water heater in Singapore with dedicated app controls. Using the Aqua Ariston Net App, you have total control of connecting with your Andris2 Top smart water heater. Get shower-ready notifications sent to your mobile for hot water so you do not have to wait and turn on the water for a few minutes before it gets hot. You can also find information on the next available shower timing, receive information about water temperature and energy consumption reports. With the app, you can also turn the product on and off or set a weekly schedule to have hot water only when necessary.

There is also an integrated auto-learning software ECO EVO that was being installed in the Andris2 Top that will learns your shower habit day after day and is able to recall your daily habits to deliver hot water right when you need it. ECO EVO is the most innovative energy saving algorithm used worldwide by Ariston to reach the top energy ratings. In fact, based on the Estimated savings on daily basis after a comparison to Ariston standard mechanical product, this can save up to 25%.

Beside the water heater that were on display, the place was also decorated with Artiston theme. Look at this backdrop that was specially created in their logo. Thanks Michelle for helping me with this photo!

I was even more amazed when I found out that this this piece of painting created by Chef Janice Wong is made from Chocolate, Gummy and Water. It is painted in gummy and different shades of blue to represent the textures of water. 200 chocolate circles were cut out to form a rainfall of chocolates. 300 chocolate lollipops were sticked on to hold 300 chocolate Bon Bons that are specially crafted with 3 special flavours - Chocolate and water, Sea Salt Dark Chocolate and Coconut White Coconut. I simple love it and really admires her piece of culinary art work. Makes a super cool backdrop for selfie after eating too.

The Andris2 Top with storage of 30L will only be available around October 2019 while the Andris2 Lux and Andris2 RS is already available in both 15L and 30L. For further information, please visit their website:

[EVENT] Official Launch of Crazybaby Air 1S True Wireless Headphone

I have been using wireless earpod ever since my hubby got one for me as I always complain about the tangled wires of the wired earpieces. With wireless earpod, it's much more convenient when I listen to my spotify on the journey to work. The ability to remain "hands free" and "tangled free" makes my journey more enjoyable. I am so glad to receive an invitation to attend the Crazybaby event to check out their latest wireless headphone.

The official launch of the Crazybaby Air 1S True Wireless Headphone event was held at The Rose Room, Takashimaya. Founded in 2015 by Allen Zhang, the Crazybaby brand which includes acoustic products such as Mars, Luna, Air by Crazybaby and Air by Crazybaby (NANO) has been designed, marketed and sold in 130 countries which is pretty impressive.

Crazybaby had also won several awards such as the Red Dot Award, Good Design Award and CES innovation Award for its futuristic design and best-in-class technology. This year, Crazybaby Air 1S has been awarded with the iF DESIGN AWARD 2019 by iF International Forum Design GmbH. This award is recognised as a symbol of design excellence around the world and welcomes more than 5,000 submissions from 70 countries each year.

Crazybaby Air 1S true wireless headphones are designed with the athletes and gym enthusiasts in mind. However, it also matches the style for the ladies, gentlemen, gym and traveling addicts too. The four flatlay photos above shows what you could be bringing out together with the headphone.

Offering uncompromising Hi-Fi sound quality to keep one pumped which sweating it out, the headphones are comfortable and secure fit so that you could immerse yourself completely in the toughest workouts.

Here are the 10 features of the Crazybaby Air 1S true wireless headphones:

1. It is super lightweight like a single sheet of paper, weighing at only 4.5g! So light that you don't even feel it and get distracted. 

2. The enhanced bluetooth connection provides a high signal reception efficiency and a stable, robust connection within a 15-meter distance. 

3. The portable charging capsule has an impressive battery life of up to 12 hours! 

4. It has a fast charge feature. Charging for just 5 minutes will restores battery up to 20%. 

5. The ergonomic design ensures that each headphone fits comfortably and securely in the ear canal. The anti-drop design maximizes stability, enable one to fully concentrate on what they are doing.

Beside the Crazybaby Air 1S, there is also the Air by Crazybaby and Air by Crazybaby(Nano) that were on displayed. Unlike the Crazybaby Air 1S which only has two colours, either black or grey to choose from, the Air by Crazybaby series has more vibrant colours to choose from and is also much smaller in size. 

Trying out to see how it looks on me. 

While I was at the washroom, the lucky draw segment began. I was surprised to learn that I've won myself the purple version of the Air by Crazybaby(Nano) out of the 10 different colours during the lucky draw segment. The law of attractions works wonder as I was just trying the orange version one and thinking to myself how nice it would be if I could have it! I am currently using it during my daily one hour bus ride to work in the morning.

Just to share a little blunder that I made during the first charge, I didn't remove the plastic and thus it was not charge at all.

The correct indication of charging is this red light as shown. The Air by Crazybaby(Nano) battery could last me for a few days as compared to my previous earpod that can only last about 2-3 hours after a full charge. Now I do not have to worry about the earpod running dry even during longer trips.
The sound quality is excellent too.

Love this group photo with my blogger friends, great colour combination. Thank you Brand Cellar for the invites!
