Asia’s First New Hyper-Reality Star Wars™ VR Experience Coming to Resorts World Genting

By

This piece of news is going to probably thrill all you fans of Star Wars!

Created by ILMxLAB and The VOID, friends can step inside the Star Wars universe together in a fully immersive experience unlike any other.

From a galaxy far, far away comes the first multi-sensory immersive experience of its kind in Asia that blurs the line between the physical and virtual world that you can explore with friends and companions.

It will be The VOID’s first venture outside of America and the UK, making this experience at Resorts World Genting the first in Asia. This location-based VR experience will be brought to new heights, quite literally at 6000 feet above sea level.  It will be one of the key attractions at the resort which received almost 25 million visitors last year. This will exist alongside dining and retail outlets as well as entertainment attractions that will include the upcoming indoor and outdoor theme parks.

Check out the trailer of this Hyper-Reality Star Wars™ VR Experience before you continue reading!

Star Wars: Secrets of the Empire will take guests through a breathtaking journey into the Star Wars universe allowing them to walk freely and untethered on an interactive stage. Reality and imagination mix to deliver fully immersive experiences that evoke all the senses, where guests will feel the impact of blaster bolts, smell the smoke from the surrounding environment, push buttons to solve an interactive puzzle to escape enemies, all while coordinating directly with their unit in real time through the blended virtual and physical world.

Under the orders of the rebellion, teams of four travel to the molten planet of Mustafar and sneak onto an Imperial Base. During the mission, you’ll encounter familiar Star Wars characters as you navigate dangers at every turn.

Craig Watson, Chairman of The VOID said: “The VOID’s hyper-reality experiences are taking people to worlds that, until now, only existed in their imaginations. The VOID is leading location-based entertainment to the next level. By making the impossible real and allowing guests to step into completely new and alternate realities.  In Star Wars: Secrets of the Empire you can hear, feel, touch and even smell bringing them closer to the story, characters and places.”

Giving Your Blog Some TLC

By

When you see your blog all of the time, it can be hard to spot problems and issues. When you first started blogging, your posts and layouts were probably a little rough. Then, you might have gone through a very steep learning curve as you learned about SEO, digital media marketing and everything else that makes a blog great. You might have spent time working on your branding and adjusting the layout of your site. Making it more personal and unique and ensuring it stood out from the rest of the blogs on the internet.

Then, as time goes on, we often stop noticing the small things. We write posts. We publish them. We promote them. You might even have a checklist of things that you do with every post or the daily jobs that you do to keep your blog great. But, you stop seeing it. It’s only normal. It’s something that happens in all areas of life. But, it’s why it’s essential that every now and then we take the time to take a good hard look at our blogs and how well they work and make any changes that we can to improve them. Here are some great ways that you can give your blog a little TLC.

Check Your Speed

A brand-new site, with nothing on it, works quickly. Of course, it does, there’s nothing to load. Then, as you add more content and media, things start to slow down. You might not have noticed, but your users will have. Carry out an internet speed test to find out where you stand.

Look at Your Photographs

Photographs take up an awful lot of space on your site and in your database. Chances are, you aren’t even using a lot of them, having either replaced them over time or never put them into posts in the first place. Use a plugin to delete any pictures that aren’t being used on your site. Then, compress any that are left.

While you are working on photographs, check out your older posts. Could you replace any of the pictures now that your skills have improved?

Delete Old Content

Many blogs start life in the “lifestyle” category. Then, over time some of them begin to fit into a smaller niche. This is great, but you might find that a lot of your older content no longer fits. If it gets views, great, keep it. But, if no one reads this content and it doesn’t reflect your blog anymore, delete it.

Fix Broken Links

Broken links are inevitable. Even if it’s just because you’ve deleted old posts or photographs. Some broken links might be in comments other people have left if their own blogs have changed or been removed. These links can affect your user experience. So, find them using a plugin or a broken link checker website and either delete or fix them.

Add Internal Links

When you start blogging, there’s nothing to link to. You’ve got no related content. Over time, you add new content, but you never go back to add links to older posts. Go through some of your old posts and pages and add as many internal links as you can. It’ll give your bounce rate a massive boost.

Wildlife Tours Australia: Why It’s Worth Including in Your Bucket List

By

Sure thing, Africa will be the first place you’ll imagine if someone suddenly proposes this travel idea, “Hey, why don’t we go on a safari adventure?” And quickly, you drop your bag, sit on your desk and look up pieces of information about travel to Africa. But, is Africa the only continent where you can go on a safari adventure? What if you discover there’s something equally exciting and fantastic somewhere else?

Apparently, it’s easier to decide where to go when you know that Africa is the only place to explore if you’re wishing for some safari adventures. It turns out though that Australia can be a close rival. Wait, what? You read that right. Let’s take a look at what Australia has to offer.

Australia: Where All Sorts of Diversity is Found

If you say the word ‘diversity’, perhaps, Australia is on the top rank among the most diverse countries in the world. In fact, Australia is very diverse in almost all aspects—the people and their backgrounds, the landscapes and terrains, the mix of city and countryside vibe, and a great number of diverse, unique species of flora and fauna. Check out valuable pieces of information on that subject here.

And what do all of these things mean? Yup, you’re right indeed. A tour of just a few days in Australia won’t be enough to explore everything wonderful. In fact, it would be the most awesome option if there’s a way you can do a long-term backpacking journey around entire Australia as you dream of how unique your everyday experiences would be. You’ll never run out of new things to try and see!

Hike up the mountains or sail to the islands, one after another. You’ll find that there is no shortage of wildlife creatures in Australia—they’re even abundant. You can swim with the whales, meet and greet the cutie kangaroos and koalas, get awed by the different, lovely birds on a birdwatching adventure, and discover various species of reptiles. And there’s a whole lot more! The scenic views are even enough to make your heart skip a beat! Learn more about that by visiting Aus wildlife tours.

A Learning Experience in a Classroom the Size of a Country

There is no doubt that travelling makes us smarter. We get to learn a new culture and new words from another language, we are able to taste new cuisines, uncover history, and discover art; and when we derive such new learnings, we also develop our creativity which helps us become more productive at work or at school.

Thus, we can compare wildlife tours in Australia to a wonderful learning experience in a classroom that’s the size of a country. It would be a unique experience for the whole family, especially if you have young children. It will help them fully immerse themselves in an interactive learning experience when they get to learn about wildlife creatures not just in pictures, books, and videos, but in their natural habitat as well.

Grow Your Love for Nature

When we go on wildlife adventures, we allow ourselves to have a close encounter with nature. This interaction helps us to grow our appreciation of our planet’s beauty and as well as its rich diversity. Seeing the beauty of diverse creatures and observing their life in their natural habitat compels us to grow our love for nature and to take care of our environment.  https://biofriendlyplanet.com/nature/environment/50-ways-to-make-your-life-more-environmentally-friendly/

It also motivates us to start making sustainable and eco-friendly choices in our daily lives; as we know that a single piece of trash we throw or a single foolish thing we do against the environment, could impact the lives of other creatures, especially those nearing extinction. In addition, growing our appreciation for nature moves us to teach our kids to be gentle with animals, take care of them, plant trees, and take every effort to care for the environment.

There are so many things to learn and discover while you’re on a wildlife tour. You can even choose one based on your interests. Love the ocean? Go whale-watching, diving, or snorkelling. Want to meet marsupials? Say “Hi” to kangaroos and koalas. Want something even wilder? Meet and greet reptile species! There’s no doubt that including off-the-beaten-track experiences in your travel bucket list is a must when you visit the land down under!

Explore Every Possibility with the all-New 2018 Jeep Compass Limited

By

My first encounter with Jeep began a long way back in 2012 when Jeep became the soccer jersey sponsor of Juventus Football Club. In case you’re wondering, Jeep is more than just a car brand. Jeep is an actual word that you can find in the English dictionary and it is more often described as, “a small, sturdy motor vehicle with four-wheel drive, especially one used by the military.” My second encounter with Jeep was in early June this year when the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited was displayed at the Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Adventure Experience at Plaza Singapura.

My third encounter with Jeep took place very recently and this time round, I had the rare privilege and opportunity to take the All-New 2018 Jeep Compass out for a weekend drive. This was like a dream come true for me as I have always wanted to take a Jeep out for a ride.

The Exterior

The exterior of the All-New 2018 Jeep Compass is a sure head-turner and its signature seven-slot grille is an unmistakable exterior element that pays homage to Jeep’s proud history.

Strong, confident curves and stylish accents transform the headlamps on the All-New Compass from purely functional into design statements.

All-New Jeep Compass Limited 2018

The All-New Compass also features taillamps that blend form with function. The taillamps mould themselves perfectly to the sweeping curves of the Compass, offering a distinct look that stands out – both in design and on the road.

An epitome of adventure, the All-New Compass is rugged and trail-ready. With the Best-in-Class ground clearance and approach, departure and break over angles, and its signature ruby red front and rear tow hooks; the designers and engineers of the All-New Compass instilled the passion and excitement of the Jeep brand into every element of the vehicle.

In the crowded market of compact SUVs, every detail on the All-New Compass stands out.

The Interior

Attention to detail is what separates the All-New 2018 Compass from its competitors. Stylish touches like the accents around the vents and shifter, embossing on the seats, and the stitching style selected for the interior all reflect Jeep’s commitment to the art of craftsmanship.

All-New Jeep Compass Limited 2018

Every Jeep® Brand vehicle is designed to maximise capability and the All-New 2018 Compass is no exception. With a spacious and comfortable interior, the All-New Compass comes with an innovative and adjustable cargo floor that can be moved up to load gear more easily or down to give more room.

With six BeatsAudio speakers distributed throughout the cabin for a surround sound experience; every journey offers an immersive driving experience that makes the ride even more enjoyable.

The Jeep Driving Experience

The All-New Compass is powered by a 1.4L Inline 4 cylinder Turbo Charged Engine that is mated to a 9-Speed Automatic Transmission. With more than sufficient torque for Singapore’s roads, overtaking and lane changing is a breeze for the All-New Compass. However, with that being said; don’t expect to take off like a rocket when the accelerator pedal is floored.

When cornering at high speeds, the All-New Compass does the job with much stability and ease. In terms of the fuel economy, the frequent start-stop motion of the busy urban traffic can be rather straining on the All-New Compass.

All-New Jeep Compass Limited 2018

What I do really appreciate the most about the All-New Compass are the multiple safety features that have been seamlessly integrated to offer a safe driving experience. From one of the most sophisticated airbag systems of its kind to active safety and security features that are designed to assess road conditions and adjust vehicle performance to help the driver maintain control and stay safe and secure; there are also other safety features such as the LaneSense® Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assistance and Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking.

In Summary

The price of the All-New Compass at the time of writing is $136,888 (without COE).

All-New Jeep Compass Limited 2018

Equipped with cutting-edge technology and features with both the driver and passenger in mind, the All-New Jeep Compass is the best companion to meet all your driving needs. Discover an unearthly luxury and comfort with the all-new Jeep Compass by scheduling a test drive today.

What you should know when buying Manuka Honey in Singapore

By

You might have heard of Manuka honey as it is getting quite popular for its health benefits.

So what makes this honey different?

Bees in New Zealand, drink the nectar from the Manuka shrub that is indigenous to New Zealand and produce honey that has properties that are unique and unseen in other kinds of honey. These properties are antibacterial and aids in curing common ailments.

If you’re wondering whether Manuka honey can be purchased in Singapore, the answer is yes. Although you can buy it off the shelves, there are a few things you need to consider before purchasing Manuka honey.

Here are some considerations that you might want to look out for:

1. UMF Label

So what is UMF? UMF stands for Unique Manuka Factor. It’s an independent organisation that tests and rates Manuka honey from various manufacturers to check their authenticity. This agency was created for the sole reason to test the quantity of MGO and NPA in each Manuka honey batch. We’ll get to MGO and NPA, a bit later in the article.

Each batch of genuine Manuka honey has a UMF rating that can be traced back to the apiary it’s from. The rating starts from 5+.

If you want the best quality Manuka honey, then 22+ should be your choice. Do not buy Manuka honey if it does not have a UMF label attached to the jar.

The UMF rating and number on Honey New Zealand’s Manuka Honey

UMF hands licenses to genuine manufacturers of Manuka honey and nobody else.

2. MGO – Methylglyoxal

What makes Manuka honey unique is the presence of MGO. Methylglyoxal is the property that the UMF agency is looking for in every Manuka honey. It’s antibacterial and helps in curing many common ailments like sore throats, and ulcers.

The higher the content of MGO, the higher the Manuka rating; and it means that the particular honey possesses more antibacterial properties.

3. Active / NPA

Many Manuka honey jars have the Grade A label in them. So what does this mean? Manuka honey is one of the few types of honey in the world that still has antibacterial elements even when the hydrogen peroxide has been removed; this is NPA or Non-Peroxide Activity.

If you have a jar with Grade A written on it, it means the antibacterial property is present and it is active! So NPA or Grade A means, your Manuka honey has antibacterial qualities that can help with curing common ailments.

These are the three factors that one needs to look into before buying Manuka honey in Singapore.

If you’re shopping around for Manuka honey in Singapore, HNZ Manuka Honey in Singapore is the best of the lot. They have their own apiaries and they make the finest quality Manuka honey in the world.

3 Things to Know Before You Travel

By

So you’re finally going on a trip, eh? You’re finally leaving your comfort zone. Well, good! The world’s your oyster, one that you open with your passport. There’s plenty to discover and more to experience.

But before you fly off to lands unknown, learn a few things first; for knowledge is power, and it may well save your life.

Here are a few crucial things that you should know before you travel the world.

Check Your Gear

Prep time is half the fun of travelling. There’s a certain kind of excitement that experienced travellers get when browsing stores for stuff they’ll bring on their next trip. You may feel that too, once you rack up some mileage on your visa.

That said, prepping your gear isn’t just for fun. It’s also for your own good.

You’ll be a stranger in an unfamiliar land, and the commodities and conveniences of home will no longer be within your reach, particularly when going to areas untamed by civilisation, to meadows and groves where you commune with nature and soul.

Often, you’ll have just yourself and your favourite weekender bag, and its contents, to rely on.

Thus, make it a habit to check your gear, days before your trip. Go over your pack, and review what you need and what you don’t need. Packing too much can unnecessarily burden you; packing too little may leave you stranded somewhere without even basic necessities like food or water and without the hope of rescue.

Check the Culture

One of the many things that can fumble a traveller’s stride is the culture shock. It’s usually the first gale that greets one so used to the comforts of home. The impact can strike so overwhelmingly and so frustratingly that one can become homesick in a matter of days.

Experiencing how other people live in other parts of the world is part of the fun in travelling. But if you don’t do your research in advance, you could be on the receiving end of sudden culture shock. Then all your preparations will be for nought as you hurry to book a return flight home.

What you see in the movies isn’t always the truth; it’s often embellished by false fluff for production value. You expected the romances of Casablanca but then get chased by bulls in Pamplona. You expected Mickey Mouse, but it was actually Dio.

So be a smart tourist. Be informed. Do a quick search about where you’re going. Read up on the news from your destination, and set proper expectations so you’ll be prepared for the reality.

Check the Weather

Lastly, check the general weather and environment of your itinerary. It’s not always sunny in Philadelphia; storms can come a-knockin’ too. That’s part of life. But if you don’t prepare for such times, it may be the death of you.

This may seem like it’s part of common sense, but it’s still too vital to be left unsaid. Not anticipating bad weather can ruin a good time. Worse yet, your chiselled-for-the-beach body may get wet not because of the sea but because you’re sweating under the 34.4 degrees Celsius average temperature of Ethiopia.

Keep yourself up-to-date on the weather around your target destination/s. Download an app so that you can check anytime and make adjustments accordingly.

Envoi: Bon Voyage!

The fundamental point of all these things is to be prepared. As mentioned earlier, prep time is half the fun of travelling.

Be a smart traveller and prepare well. Check the three items noted above, and you’ll get the most out of your time abroad. Make sure to book airport transportation from a reliable Car service company if you are scheduled to catch a flight!

The Top 5 Holiday Destinations in Southeast Asia

By

One of the many great things about Singapore is its strategic location. As a central hub in southeast Asia, it’s incredibly convenient and easy to go to many of the beautiful places around the area. Whether you intend on taking the family along, just your partner or you just want to fly solo, you can be sure that you’ll find the right place for you. There are tons of picturesque places nestled in nature, so make room in your memory (phone, camera or otherwise!) and click away so you can do postcard printing in Singapore when you get back to get the most precious keepsakes of your journey!

Now, beauty lies in the eye of the beholder and all that – but it has a little something for everyone. With that spirit in mind, we’ve shortlisted a few places that stand out as travel destinations for those looking for solitude, romance or a bit of adventure!

1. Cambodia

Image Credits to Never Ending Voyage

Those looking to escape the city bustle can find comfort in Kampot – where travellers can experience the riverside charm by renting boats, canoes or simply plunging in for a swim! For those who like some good old countryside adventure, you can also wander through their pepper farms. Another option in this country is Mondulkiri – where adventurers can hike or trek to waterfalls and climb beautiful hills!

2. Thailand

Image Credits to Trip Canvas

While the more commercial parts of Thailand like Bangkok may be better known for its bustle and architecture, Kanchanaburi is recognized for its national parks, waterfalls and intriguing caves. Of course, Thailand also hosts an array of beautiful beaches in places like Phuket and Krabi that are perfect for those who enjoy white sand beaches, snorkelling, and scuba diving.

3. Indonesia

Image Credits to Never Ending Voyage

Another country that’s known for its beautiful beaches and a popular honeymoon destination for young couples! Places like Bali are dotted with white sandy beaches. If the idea of cycling around the countryside and exploring quiet coves and secluded beaches appeal to you, this is the place for you! Ubud, known for its rice terraces and its romantic allure, is also a popular choice among travellers.

4. Vietnam

Halong Bay in Vietnam is an excellent place to be for cave explorers and seafood enthusiasts (whether you like to look at them or eat them!). But for those of you looking to get a taste of rural life in Vietnam, head to Sapa – a quiet, pretty place with green hills celebrated for being an area run by women alone! A great place for solo female travellers to enjoy some quiet time.

5. Laos

Image Credits to © Justin Foulkes / Lonely Planet

Si Phan Don in Laos is the place where you go to enjoy bike rides, tranquillity, and peace. The country itself is scattered with beautiful places all over and offers a quieter environment than its neighbouring alternatives. If you’re someone who wants a taste of architecture, mountains, peace, and adventure – Laos has it all. Vang Vieng is just rivers of peace and calm, and it offers a number of adventurous activities like zip-lining and hot air ballooning.

These 5 places are our top picks, but let’s not forget that there’s a vast array of other options too! Philippines and Malaysia, as well as the lesser known countries like Brunei, Timor-Leste, and Myanmar, are all swamped with gorgeous places too. The fact is, every one of the countries that make up Southeast Asia has something different to offer. So, don’t stress it too much, have a happy holiday and take a lot of pictures!

Reasons Why Kayaking is Good for You

By

Have you ever considered doing something different from what you always do during your leisure time? Well, try grabbing a kayak and get to the waters. Kayaking as an outdoor physical activity can give you more than just the great water view.

It also doubles up as a great exercise for your body. Kayaking can be done on streams, lakes, rivers and rapids. They are usually light and can be easily transported. Going out for a kayak tour can be a great adventure that will always leave you with an unforgettable experience.

If you think you’ve seen what the waters have to offer in terms of kayaking, then try using the inflatable kayaks in Australia. Anyway, without saying no more, let’s look at some of the advantages that kayaking has.

Weight loss

For you to be able to reach a speed of 5 mph when kayaking, you will need an effort of about 0.1 hp. This will, in turn, help you to burn around 400 calories each hour.

So, if you take like 5 hours of paddling, do the math and see how much calories you are going to get rid off. This shows how kayaking has the ability to kill two birds with one stone by keeping you fit while also giving you a great experience.

Reducing Stress

Have you had a bad week? Try going out for a kayak tour as it can help you deal with some of your stress. Imagine how you will feel when you see your kayak moving on water and the beautiful view around you and in the sky. All this is enjoyable and it will make you feel relaxed. If you can spend a couple of hours kayaking on water and commit to doing this a few times each week, you don’t have to worry about being stressed up again as you’ve already found a solution.

Works Out the Upper Body

If you have to choose between spending quality time with your family or going to the gym, which option would you take? Well, I know people are different but the majority will most probably choose spending quality time with the family. Having said that, kayaking gives you the ability to do both at the same time. You can go on a kayaking adventure with your family and be the controller of the boat.

With every stroke you take when paddling, you will also be working out every muscle in your upper body. This implies that you can do about 1500 reps of low impact movements in your upper body in just an hour; that is if you are moving at a speed of 3mph. This will help you to tone up your upper body muscles. Follow this link to see how kayaking helps in working out your upper body https://thrillspire.com/how-is-kayaking-good-exercise-for-body.

Improving Your Mental Health

From publications made by the Harvard Health, it is said that having an aerobic exercise can help you by triggering the release of certain brain cells that can help in improving the mood of a person. So, if you ever feel stressed up, depressed, or you just want to have a peace of mind from your hectic day; then you can try going out for some kayaking sessions as it provides you with a great and relaxed workout.

Community

Although most sporting activities require one to be fit, the fitness level is not always the same for most sports. For instance, you don’t have to be that fit for you to be able to kayak. Additionally, kayaking also provides a great opportunity for you to meet new people when you go on a tour together as a group. Well, you can also do it by yourself if you so wish to.

This activity also incorporates great sites provided by nature aside from the physical benefits. In short, kayaking creates a sense of community as it can be done by everyone.

Vitamin D

Did you know that each time you spent outside the house comes with an added advantage? Yes, the advantage is a great source of Vitamin D. From various medical research, it can be clearly seen that Vitamin D is usually among the vitamins that are usually difficult to get from the foods we eat.

Most people always rely on the sun, as this is where you can easily get like 80% of this vitamin. So, spending about 3-4 hours kayaking on a great sunny day means getting 3-4 hours of Vitamin D too.

Conclusion

Kayaking has been around for a while now and those who have done it before and are still doing it knows the benefits that they usually receive from this activity. There are a lot of reasons why you should try kayaking; however, I hope these few reasons that I have provided will help to convince you so that you may join many others and enjoy the best things that nature has to offer. Just don’t forget to bring along a dry bag to store all your dry clothing and dry items such as sunblock lotion and water bottle.
