Happy to announce that I am the new ambassador for TyreQueen!! :D :D :D

This picture is from the photoshoot I did for them... The photos turned out really amazing!!

What is TyreQueen?

TyreQueen.com is an online portal for selling tyres and rims!

They are special because at TyreQueen, you can choose from a crazy extensive range of tyres and get tyre prices up to 50% cheaper! No more getting scammed by car workshops, waiting there for a long time and paying exorbitant prices for your tyres!

TyreQueen offers installment plans of up to 36 months for purchases above $500.

Simply go to TyreQueen.com, compare and pick your tyres, make your purchase and select a date and time to go to any of TyreQueen's workshops. Then your tyres get installed in 30 mins while you relax in their lounge!

If you, like me, know nothing about tyres (before I met them and got enlightened that is), there is livechat on the site that can answer all your tyre questions!

I just want to say that I'm so very happy and honoured to be chosen as TyreQueen's ambassador. I'm not a car fanatic and neither am I sexy or pretty like you expect the race queen types to look like. I'm just... motherly.


Hi!! Motherly boh?

But tyres don't just go hand in hand with racing or speed or fancy cars... Good tyres also mean safety - safety to not only you and your passengers but other people on the road as well as pedestrians. So in that sense I guess I'm very appropriate coz I'm always shuttling my whole family and lots of friends around. Soccer mom lol!!

Back to what I was saying... I'm very happy and honoured because the fantastic people at TyreQueen are one of the best clients I've worked with. They are SO nice. When I told them about a little scuffle Mike had on the road with a road bully (story for another day), immediately the next day they sent me two car cameras, one for Mike and one for me. O_O They really didn't have to do that.


AND THEY SPONSORED ME A CAR!!!!!!!!!!



Say hello to my Honda Freed!!!!!

It's a spacious 6 seater that fits all my family needs. So happy! I get to drive this car for a year.


Front view


Two seats at the back fold up for a lot of boot space!


Dashboard


Sliding back doors make it so easy to carry baby in and out...




Not only do I get to drive this awesome car, TyreQueen also made me the star in their TVC ad!!!! :O

It is the first time I'm shooting a TVC!!!

TyreQueen is one of the sponsors for the Primetime TV show The Journey, Trilogy 2: Tumultuous Times, airing till 2nd January 2015 every weekday from 9pm to 10pm! The cast is super star studded with Li Nan Xing, Joanne Peh, Felicia Chin etc!

If you watch the show, you can catch my TVC airing!

HERE IT IS:




I LOVE THE AD!!!!

When I first read the script it sounded quite cheesy but it is SUPPOSED to be cheesy... in a comic strip sort of way. The end result is a really cute and memorable ad.

To be honest I had a bit of a phobia when I first heard I had to do a TVC. I'm ok with photos because I know I can photoshop them. But you can't photoshop a video! (Or at least, not up to me to do it)

Plus this isn't just another episode of Guide to Life... This will be seen by so many Singaporeans and aired over and over again for 2 months!!

I was so afraid I will look ugly and fat and stumpy in it but luckily, if I might say so myself, I look quite cute in it lah!! LOLOL!!!

TyreQueen allowed me to do my own makeup (lao tian ye boh bi) and I had a great hairstylist (see the fab hair!) and stylist there who altered my superhero costume to fit me like a glove. Coincidentally she also altered my loose glove which initially did NOT fit me like a glove. LOL (Really wanna credit them but I'm so bad with names and I think they are named Anne, Violet and Sheena but I scared I remember wrong wtf)

Other than the appearance bit, I've experienced horrible directors who don't know what they are doing. I usually only like working with Gillian. But the team that filmed me were extremely professional - not to mention super funny. I had a great time shooting with them that day!!

We shot from 9am to 6pm straight in front of a green screen. I had to spin, jump, leap and pretend to fly for too many times to count. All that work condensed into 30 short seconds. Totally worth it.

It felt silly doing exaggerated actions in front of a green screen but I couldn't believe how awesome the animation turned out. O_o AND it was done in less than a week!

The people from TyreQueen stayed with me the whole time and were super helpful and encouraging. My Nuffnang managers accompanied me and made sure I had all basic needs covered... I was so afraid I cannot act properly but everyone was so patient with me. *tears


Getting mushy here but please lah not everyday you get to be on your first TVC ok so I just wanna properly thank everyone!!!





Nah nah nah watch again ok? This one in Mandarin hahaha!!

Pediped for little feet

Advertorial

Most moms will agree that it isn't easy to buy good shoes for toddlers.

When transitioning from crawling to walking, baby's shoes should change from soft soles to safer, firmer soles to protect from sharp objects that might be on the ground, yet cannot be too hard because it will be uncomfortable to walk in.

The shoes should also be very soft so it won't cause blisters on baby's delicate skin. And yes, it would be great if the designs are trendy too!

pediped has very kindly sponsored Dash shoes since his birth, so he has so many pairs that you may have often spotted him wear on my social media photos!


I currently have six pediped shoes in Dash's shoe cabinet... He has already outgrown many, which I have given to my friends' kids.


Aren't the designs just so cute? :D


pediped's shoes are very very soft and bendy, making it super comfy for the little ones. 

Afterall they cannot tell you when their shoes are making them uncomfortable, so I would rather spend a little more on safer, more high quality shoes which won't hurt them or cause walking problems in the long run.

And since new walkers are very unstable, I DEFINITELY do not want Dash to fall down because of ill-fitting shoes!


pediped is an award-winning children's footwear brand designed in the United States.

Its shoes were among the first children's footwear to be awarded the American Podiatric Medical Association Seal of Acceptance, and preeminent orthopedic medical professionals deem pediped shoes an excellent choice for parents/caregivers who want their children’s feet to develop naturally and healthily.

Phew! As a parent, reading stuff like this makes me feel relieved!



The natural leather soles are very flexible yet durable.

Even better, some of the new designs from the Spring/Summer 2014 collection are water-friendly and machine-washable!! WOOHOO!!


This design is from the new collection and it's called the Frederick Glacier Grey! I love it!

Also, all pediped shoes are extremely easy to wear because of the widecut openings. If you have a toddler as active, impatient and wiggly as mine, this is really important because I cannot hold his fat feet still for a long time!

Took a photoshoot with Dash wearing the Frederick Glacier Grey and so many photos turned out super cute!!

I'm gonna spam them all here.


NEW SHOES WOOHOO!!

Dash is now 14 months old.

He can say "wear shoe" and knows that the wearing of shoes means it is time to go out! He then gets really excited.









 Playing with his lips lol


Mian bao lian



 Wow so posey

 HAHAHAHAHA!!!
 


Isn't he a natural? HAHAHA


Also wore the Martin Choc Brown sandals to Joen's first birthday party!! This pair is worn to death because it's so easy to wear and so easy to match.


His cute little romper is from http://babystyleicon.com




With Shuyin who is also dressed to the cowboy/farm theme. Look at them with the model-y poses. LOL









 Don't be fooled by the pic, tossing a 12kg fattypuff isn't easy. LOL





If you have a baby girl, don't worry, pediped also stocks plenty of girls' shoes!

Their shoes come in 3 types:

Originals (These two I've featured are Originals): These shoes have flexible, soft soles to best mimic barefoot walking. For newborn to 24 months.

Grip 'n' Go: Made up with all the benefits of Originals, but a special feature G2 Technology is added to help a toddler stay balanced while transitioning into a confident stride. For 9 months to 3 years old.

Flex: The ultimate shoe for confident walkers who have developed a natural stride. Flex offers more than 30 styles available in a variety of sandals, Mary Janes, ballet flats, athletics, and casual wear that feature a color palette of pastels, bright neon, classic browns and signature black. For 1 year old to 8 years old.

Posting some older pics I have of Dash a few months ago also wearing his pediped Originals!









My little happy walker. :)

pediped is actually famous worldwide and loads of celebrity moms have put their kids in pediped... Like Jessica Alba, Halle Barry, Jennifer Garner etc!
