Mid-Autumn Festival 2024 + Annyeong Korea: Uncover South Korea with PriceBreaker

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, or more commonly known as the 'Mooncake Festival', fell on a Tuesday. As usual, the company that I work for, being Korean, closed office early for a half day to celebrate Chuseok (Korean's Thanksgiving Day!)



Since we had a half-day off, me and some office friends went to have some gelato at Muted.Gelato after our lunch at SOI47 Thai Food which is located at King George Avenue. Nothing beats having them around, and we had a delightful meal & dessert fix together.



My company gifted each staff a box of Chocolate Mooncakes from Janice Wong as a token of celebration. Each artisan chocolate Mooncake was well-crafted and tasted good. 





The day before Mid-Autumn Festival, I met up with my clique at Suntec for dinner, which was then followed by a trip to the Gardens by the Bay - A Magical Lantern Experience.




One of the highlights of the Mid-Autumn Festival at Gardens by the Bay is the breathtaking lantern displays.



Inspired by Singapore's heritage shophouses, we loved the childhood nostalgia ambience which surrounded the garden. 






An iconic 'Dragon Playground' design displayed at Supertree Grove. 








We had a great time at the stunning Flower Carpet set against the iconic Supertrees, which featured the beloved Singaporean dragon playground and the national flower, ‘Papilionanthe Miss Joaquim’.





What a masterpiece! We were so happy that we managed to make it for the exhibition before it ended!



Chewy prepared Durian Mooncakes for us to enjoy in the park! Thanks for making time to make this gathering a good one!

Baby and I attended the Annyeong Korea: Uncover South Korea with PriceBreaker which was held at the Korea Tourism Organization (Korea Plaza).



Through this workshop, we were given some insights sharing regarding Busan, Ulsan and Gyeongnam.


We were introduced to some delicious refreshments from Korea, and participated in some Hands-on activities.




We won a 24HR Visit Busan Pass through Q&A and a box of Premium Bean Jelly Set from Gyeongnam.



We were given some Facial Mask Sheets for attending this event... How sweet!



Thanks for the generous Korean snacks, and we felt loved!



We walked home with a goodies bag filled with merchandises from the Korea Tourism Organization and Korean Air!



A wonderful afternoon spent at Annyeong Korea: Uncover South Korea with PriceBreaker, as we gained a lot of insight info, and it will serve as a great help for our future Busan/Ulsan/Gyeongnam trip planning!

Korea's No. 1 beauty brand, KUNDAL shower/hair products are now available in Singapore, and I am honored to try out their full series of shampoo, treatment, body wash and hair serum which includes a special gift from them - Bath Bombs! KUNDAL o ffers natural hair/bodycare products that have the perfect blend of plant extracts. Their products are comfortably referred to as green products due to their biodegradable and non-toxic components. What I love about the  KUNDAL HONEY & MACADAMIA  range is  that they use honey and macadamia extracts as their main ingredients. They are also infused with a specific scent - such as Pink Grapefruit, White Musk or Cherry Blossom, or the most popular floral scent, Baby Powder. The scent still lingering in the bathroom for hours and it smells pleasant as well as not being over-powering. I love how my hair feels smooth after using each of the products. I tried the White Musk shampoo and Cherry Blossom treatment,...
