The launch of Andy - the ArtBot

Meitu Inc., publisher of the world renowned photo-editing app Meitu, is dedicated to the pursuit of beauty around the world. For almost 10 years, Meitu has been an innovator of apps that generate 6 billion photos per month globally. Today, Meitu managed to expand its expertise to Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) and created its first ever A.I. painting robot - Andy, the ArtBot.

What makes Andy so unique?

Unlike other photo-editing functions that add effects to original photos, Andy breaks up and reconstructs photos, then turns them into paintings within 5 seconds. Its segmentation technique is so humanized that it recognizes humans in photos and is able take them out from the backgrounds behind them, and turn into a brand new painting.

Undoubtedly, Andy marks the beginning of A.I. in the art industry. As Andy continues to learn, more painting styles created through A.I. will be developed. Andy may not be comparable to any of the great painters like Picasso, Van Gogh, etc., but it will certainly lead a different art trend for the future.

[Sponsored] Seeing Double @ Wild Wild Wet!

I had the chance to attend Wild Wild Wet's Seeing Double Event last Sunday whereby we dressed identical to break the Singapore Book of Records! And also to try out the Singapore's longest Inflatable Freestyle Water Slide, The Woosh!

Twin wear

To gear up for the event, I brought D along with me, since it's a Seeing Double event. Both of us wore quite identical :) in our favorite couple wear from Disneyland.

Went there on the dot and there was a quite a crowd, waiting to enter for the Seeing Double event!  It just don't look like how I remembered Wild Wild Wet as! I was quite excited as I hadn't been to Wild Wild Wet for a long time, probably the last time I went there was like 12 years ago?? Ain't a water sports person, naturally I can't remember much about the old Wild Wild Wet.  The only thing I remembered the most about Downtown East was the resorts. It was pretty much the in thing to do during school holidays, where we used to book chalets to hangout and BBQ. Downtown East had everything, including bowling alley, water rides, it was THE one stop entertainment area.

Already felt so excited even before entering

Upon entering, I was greeted by the vibrant colors of the place as the attractions are all so colorful! That definitely helps in getting hyper to play under the bright sun~  The new Wild Wild Wet is definitely catching my attention to visit often.

The Woosh is the attraction of the day, as it is the longest inflatable freestyle water slide in Singapore. However, I couldn't ride it that day due to some reason, but D went to try a few times, sliding down each time differently! It brought back old childhood memories of sliding down the slide. But of course, in a more stylo way.  I got him to take a few videos in his perspective when he slide down.

It definitely looked fun ! Sadly I couldn't do any water rides that day. :( Perhaps next time. Besides The Woosh, which is available from 1 June to 30 July, there's also other great attractions like the Royal Flush, which was launched on March 2017.

Looks a little like caterpillar 

If you are someone whose not afraid of heights and high speed, this is definitely the attraction to try out with your friends! This ride features both the Behemoth BOWL40 and TornadoWAVE! Great way to bond with your friends and family.

If you think Royal Flush and The Woosh isn't giving you the hyper rush, then you can try the Torpedo! Basically its a near-vertical full-body free fall ride where the drop is from six storeys high, at the speed up to 55km/hr.  Not for the weak heart ones aka me. :(

Apart from The Woosh, the Kids zone is more of my kind of water play. *hahah* Where the rides and slides are miniature and less haunting for the heart

This is definitely a great place to hangout with your friends and family. Even with kids, they get to enjoy the day out!

Besides sliding down The Woosh, we also took part in the 'Largest Gathering of Dress Alike Duos'.  And in total, there were 111 pairs of duos, breaking the Singapore Book of Records.

Look at all the twinssssss in the photo! If you have missed out this event, not to worry. In this month of June and July, dress identically with your friend or family to enjoy double the fun for half the price at four different key places at Downtown East - Wild Wild Wet, D'Resort, Orchid Bowl and eXplorerkid!

Besides enjoying the fun at half price, there's also a instagram contest going on. Just snap a creative twinning outfit and upload on instagram, hashtag #SeeingDoubleSG, you could be one of the lucky winners to walk away with great prizes!

[Sponsored] Experience with 1-Day ACUVUE® Oasys® with Hydraluxe™ technology

I had the chance to try out 1-Day ACUVUE® Oasys® with Hydraluxe™ technology at Alexis Eyewear, Paragon. Being someone who wears contact lenses nearly everyday, the comfort level of the contact lens to me is very important. Especially when my work requires me to stare at my 21" comp for 8 hours, solving problems, my eyes gets tired and dry easily.

Some may ask, why not just stick to your glasses. Wearing my glasses with my headphones on at work results in painful ears, so I will always go for contact lenses instead of glasses. During my off days, I will head out, wearing my contact lenses as I will always opt to bring my sunglasses out as my eyes are also sensitive to light. With so much time spent on wearing contact lenses, I definitely needed something more comfortable.

The Eye Care Professionals at Alexis Eyewear are friendly and nice. As I already know my degree, I could just provide my degree and purchase my lens and go. But because I wanted to know if my degrees increased, they were nice to do an accurate vision measurement and prescription, also a comprehensive eye health assessment for me. But before that they asked about how often I put on my contact lens and what I do and stuffs. Ultimately, the advise they gave me was to get a pair of comfortable lens that can last and also to give my eyes time to breathe. Basically to use my glasses when I'm not working. *sweats* I try I try.

Alas, due to work, my degrees have a slight increase and I had to get higher degrees contact lens than my current ones. The Eye Care Professionals were nice enough to ask if I will be able to get used to the new degree as my specs have to change to the new degrees yet. I gave the new degree a go first.

Before wearing the contact lens

After wearing on the contact lens. 

Got to try my first pair of 1-Day ACUVUE® Oasys® on the spot. I am amazed by how comfortable  1-Day ACUVUE® Oasys® with Hydraluxe™ technology is. The moment I wore it, it felt like it was there but not there. There was no "annoying" feeling as I put it on. I always have this feeling as my eyes are sometimes too dry to accept wearing lenses. The contact lens texture is thicker than what I usually wear and the Eye Care Professional mentioned, 1-Day ACUVUE® Oasys® is probably a little too thick and fitting as there were customers who feedback it was harder to remove.

So I tried to remove on the spot, it was OK for me. But if I were to have longer nails, then probably it would require a little more work and care when I remove those lens. The Eye Care Professionals were nice to enough to provide two extra sets in the event that I am not comfortable with the new degrees, I am most welcomed to exchange to my old degrees.

Managed to find time to try it out on one full day out at work and after that dinner with friends. At the end of the day, my eyes didn't feel so dry even with the contact lens on. It didn't went blurish due to the residue building up in the lens itself as it allows my eyes to breathe. My vision remained perfect clear even till the end of the day. I felt comfortable the whole day, even though I stared at my comp for long hours.

And when I took out, I don't see that much residue left on the lens as compared to other daily lenses that I usually wear. I have this habit to check because most of the time, by 8 hours, my eyes starts to get tired and vision turns blur. This is due to the residue that builds up quite quickly, which results in blur vision. Probably coz my eyes couldn't breathe.

My new daily to-go contact lens~

This is definitely THE LENS I am gonna stock up as it keeps up with my demanding days at work. Also it's great for people who just started their career as we work our way up as our lifestyle transits into a demanding one. We all just want to feel comfortable even at the end of the day, keeping our eyes comfortable and vision clear. After all, our eyes are the window to everything.

1-Day ACUVUE® Oasys® with Hydraluxe™ technology is available at all optical shops, priced at $72 per box. Each box has 30 lenses. I’d encourage you to visit Alexis Eyewear @ Paragon. Loved their professional service! And right now there's a promotion going on. You can get $30 off, minimum purchase of two boxes, with the voucher! Download $30 e-voucher to try ACUVUE® OASYS® 1-Day (Voucher will also be valid for other key brands – Define™, MOIST® for Astigmatism, MOIST® Brand Multifocal)

Sugar & Spice, Taiwan’s No.1 Gift of Choice

Located on Dunhua S. Road in Taipei City, Sugar & Spice’s decor is minimalist and bright. Their Chinese name, 糖村, translated as Sugar Village fits in the ideal place of a Sweet Paradise.

The store front is already so pretty and pinkish~, made me felt welcoming. Sugar & Spice is being referred by Business Weekly as a store which “sells desserts like LV”, the business has grown at a steady rate of 15-20% annually, producing approximately 1/3 the nougats sold in Taiwan each year.

Their highest selling product is their famous French Nougat that most people find it hard to put it down after the first bite. It is chewy yet not sticky, no wonder people can't put it down after the first bite. Their nougat comes in different flavor, they also have the strawberry nougat

Strawberry Nougat

Toffee Nougat

Besides the French Nougat, not forgetting Taiwan is famous for their pineapple pastry, Supar & Spice too have their own manufactured pineapple pastry. Different varieties of pineapple are selected during each season, so you probably get a different taste in each season.

Look at the golden pineapple fillings 

I just wanna fill my snacks bar with all the pineapple pastry, look at the yummy pineapple pastry! What I like is that it is not too sweet yet soft and crusty on the outside. A little like soften shortcake base.

Lovely packaing

And notice the Golden Horse Awards packaging? It was selected as the gift for the international celebrities who attended the 2016 Golden Horse Awards this year.  If you are planning to get this back home for families and friends as a gift, they have the most wonderful packaging. You dont have to rack your brains to figure out how to gift them.

Look at how stylish the packaging is. Credits: 周杰克

Not only that, you can even handcarry as a check in, looks like a proper bag isn't it?  Besides this big packaging, they have smaller ones if you think you ain't planning to get such big ones.

Gold or Pink, all you can choose. Credits: 周杰克

If you want to mix and match your gift box, not only getting nougats and pineapple pastry, Sugar & Spice also carries a variety of desserts. Ranging from Taiwanese snacks to French delicacies, you can hardly worry of running out of desserts to gift.

IF IF, you are taking China Airline from Hong Kong International Airport or Incheon International Airport, you'll be able to try out their nougat when you do your check-in ♥.

NVIDIA and partners unveiled GTX 1000 series notebooks in Singapore

On September 7, 2016, NVIDIA announced NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1080, 1070 and 1060 GPUs for notebooks, now available in SEA region, providing gamers with a quantum leap forward in performance and power efficiency on the world’s fastest-growing gaming platform. Based on the NVIDIA Pascal™ GPU architecture, GTX-10 Series GPUs are manufactured on the leading-edge FinFET 16nm process, and have been crafted for performance and optimized for performance per watt. The award-winning Pascal architecture makes GTX 10-Series GPUs the ideal foundation for building notebook platforms that enable virtual reality to be experienced on the go.

Notebook manufacturers are using the GPUs inside potent portable gaming devices as thin as 18mm, as light as four pounds and equipped with cutting-edge technologies to deliver astounding performance at 120Hz and 4K gaming.

NVIDIA Pascal-based GPUs represent the single largest generational performance jump in the history of gaming notebooks. Designs range from thin and light to desktop replacements. Performance for VR and PC gaming reaches levels never seen before in a mobile platform. Compared with prior-generation Maxwell architecture-based GPUs, the new GTX 10-Series GPUs for notebooks deliver up to 75 percent more performance right out of the box. And with the Dual-FET power supply and multi-phased power controllers, they offer more than 3x the overclocking potential, for even faster performance.

The GTX 10-Series GPUs for notebooks also include support for the latest NVIDIA BATTERY BOOST™ technology, delivering up to 2x more battery life while gaming and ensuring significantly smoother gameplay when unplugged from the wall. And with NVIDIA G-SYNC™ technology, the best gaming displays are getting even better, marking the first time that 2500×1400 resolution and 120Hz displays are available in a notebook.

Like all Pascal-based GPUs, the new GTX 10-Series GPUs for notebooks also support NVIDIA VRWorks™ technologies. This includes NVIDIA Simultaneous Multi-Projection technology, which can yield up to a 3x VR graphics performance improvement over previous-generation GPUs. This advancement allows notebook gamers to play VR games with higher levels of detail for a more realistic, immersive experience.

Simultaneous Multi-Projection technology is also being integrated into the world’s biggest game engines, Unreal Engine and Unity. More than 30 games are already in development, including Unreal Tournament, Pool nation VR, Everest VR, Obduction, Adr1ft and Raw Data.

Also supported is NVIDIA Ansel technology, a powerful game-capture tool that allows gamers to explore, capture and share the artistry of gaming in ways never before possible. With Ansel, users can compose the gameplay shots they want, pointing the camera in any direction, from any vantage point within a gaming world. They can then capture 360° stereo photo spheres for viewing with a VR headset or Google Cardboard. Mirror’s Edge: Catalyst, Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and The Witness are the first games to ship with Ansel support, with more on the way soon.

Gaming notebooks equipped with the GTX 1080, GTX 1070 and GTX 1060 are now available from the world’s leading notebook OEMs and system builders, including Acer, Alienware, ASUS, Clevo, EVGA, Gigabyte, HP, Lenovo, MSI, Origin, Razer, Sager and XMG. Features, pricing and availability will vary.

Taiwan Trip - Yonshin Tea & Cake Selection Bar

Located a one corner of the street in Gaoxiong, Yonshin Tea & Cake Selection Bar opted for a vintage concept for its interior. Another photoshoot place for those who likes to take vintage looking photos. Walking into the bar,  I felt that I was transported to another timeline, probably the 50s and I was mesmerized by this.

Some kind of old radio I guess. 

This radio was placed like it was meant to be there. I'm guessing its a radio, kinda forgot to ask. *haha* The place is warm and welcoming, just like a cafe, where I would love to chill and read a book to spend my afternoon or hang out with my friends. Instead of a cafe, this place serves tea, hot brewed and cold brewed tea. Cold brewed tea? Not literally hot tea with ice but prepared with 5 degrees water and placed in the fridge for 8-24 hours, depending on which kind of tea.

6 cold tea selections, available for take away too! 

Something different from what I usually drink in Singapore, I don't remember we have such cold brew tea, apart from getting my cold tea fix of Oolong from MUJI *haha*. 

Preparation counter, look at those tins of tea leaves.

Since cold brew tea is something different, I got a chance to try out their cold brew tea, served in wine glasses. As mentioned by the boss, to serve in wine glass is to bring out the taste of the tea, the fragrance and the colour.

The only decent photo I have with the tea wine glass. 

Had a chance to taste a few different teas and I think the one I like the most, and by far most, favorite of most ladies (according to the 店长) is the Hualian Honey Aroma Black Tea (花莲蜜香红茶). It has the light flowery smell yet not too strong on the taste.

Up close of the 6 Cold Brewed Tea that they have in store. 

Besides just tea and cakes and pineapple tarts, they also serve main courses! Their food isn't really westernised but retaining a little Taiwanese style and steering a little towards Japanese in taste and style. You can have a cold brewed tea first before meal and order hot brewed tea after meal, as suggested by the boss. Worth the try to spend a few hours there drinking and having meals, while catching up with life.

I even ate Rice Noodle Soup with Squid Taiwanese Style (小卷米粉汤), the taste of the soup overpowers the fact that I hate Rice Noodles. [Ok, besides the soup that was really nice, but because the boss was just standing there, it wasn't nice to say no to others who had already prepared a small bowl for me]

Rice Noodle Soup with Squid Taiwanese Style (小卷米粉汤)

Handmade Dumplings with Sesame Dressing

Pan Fried Sea Bass Filet with Rice. Credits:周杰克.

These were some of the dishes we had that day. I think my favorite of all the dishes I had there was the Stewed Pork Ball in Brown Sauce (I kinda forgot to take photos before I ate them) and the Onsen egg that appeared in nearly every dish (haha, who can resist eggs?!). 

Their bottles for takeaway cold brewed teas are pretty too~~~ And if you are planning to be there for a short stay, bringing the bottles back to them you are entitled to 10TWD off your next purchase.

Look how pretty the label is. I know, I know, I'm a sucker for such stuff. 

More photos to spam on the vintage place. 

One cozy corner to take photos. I think at least 5 people took their photos in that position. 

The busy staffs behind the counter. 

Some of the little souvenirs you can get. 

Before I end this post, after all the lovely little vintage details, tea and food......

Notice the word TEA in the middle?

I didn't notice the word TEA in the middle of the Chinese word 鳳 until the store manager pointed it out. What a clever design, combining the 鳳茶 in one word.
