SIGEP Asia 2025 + Lazada Popmart Run

Image
Recently, I attended SIGEP ASIA 2025 , Southeast Asia's leading trade shows for artisan, gourmet, and fine food and beverages. These trade shows featured a diverse range of exhibitors, from renowned global brands to emerging homegrown artisanal producers. I had a wonderful time exploring SIGEP Asia 2025 as it returned to the Sands Expo & Convention Centre from 16 to 18 July 2025. The event spanned three halls across 10,000sqm with over 350 brands & exhibitors from more than 30 countries. One of the highlights for me at SIGEP Asia 2025  was the immersive edible art installation by Singaporean chocolatier Janice Wong. We bagged home a goodie bag filled with generous items by the sponsors at the event. Thanks Second Media for the kind invite and we look forward to the next edition! I joined the debuting Lazada Popmart Run with chewyjas and this run was tailor-made for fans of all ages who love to enjoy a good dose of fun and fitness. I love this run as it came with fantast...

However, with the ongoing pandemic, all running events have been forced to be cancelled for the time being. Thankfully, we can still do virtual runs where we are able to run anytime and anyway on our own and clock our own running distance and timing by using running apps.   When the circuit breaker started last year, everyone was bored to death at home, and during this period of time, I received an invitation to sign up for the inaugural Herbalife Nutrition 40th Anniversary Virtual Run which was held from 1 to 30 November 2020 as the highlight of the Get Moving with Good Nutrition Campaign.   I accepted the invitation without second thought with my running buddy, Meryl. To help me to prepare myself for the run, Herbalife Nutrition  lined up a series of virtual run training content an...

Sesame Street Run made its debut in Singapore!

Image
The popular American children’s television show - Sesame Street is celebrating its 50th anniversary, and the world’s first Sesame Street Run Tour made its stop in Singapore as part of its Southeast Asia tour following a successful run in the Philippines.   I was a fan of Elmo and am still a fan of him. He has always been a part of my childhood memories. The Sesame Street Run made its debut in Singapore at Our Tampines Hub (OTH), and I wanted to grab this opportunity to relive my childhood memories by meeting my favorite beloved Sesame Street characters.   Hay Boy, my nephew is a fan of Sesame Street too, and his favourite characters are Cookie Monster and Oscar. I brought him along for the run as well. The response of the inaugural Sesame Street Run was pretty good! Thanks for the kind slots for both Hay Boy and myself!    Together with Hay Boy, we made our way to OTH to pick up our race pack. The collection of the race...
