Get Your Home Organized with Howards Storage World (03-08/09)

Are you always troubled by how you should go about organizing your home?

When you got an entire house that needs to be organized, it is easier to break the task into smaller projects, and make use of readily available smart solutions. Your job is already easily half done!

Howards Storage World (03-08/09) provides home solutions that make home organizing a lot easier to manage, and saves you time and effort to keep things where they should belong.

In the dressing room, the vanity table is often the most difficult to organize as they are simply too many skincare products, makeup and accessories that are of different sizes that needed to be arranged. We often find expired skincare products because they are hidden away in a clutter, or tarnished and scratched jewellery which are not kept properly.

In order to make sure all the products are kept neatly, you may want to use these clear containers that are tailored to organize your vanity table. No more forgotten products and wasted jewellery anymore!

Travel enthusiasts always find it troublesome when they organize their winter essentials because all stuff are usually kept in cartons, or large luggages, making them difficult to be accessed. A great and simple way to store them is to put them in flat transparent containers, so you will know which one contains your jackets, and which one contains your gloves and scarves.

JPOT serves individual pots of soup to each customer, so that they are able to enjoy a hygienic and personalized dining experience.

If you have friends who do not like beef, spiciness or vegetables in their soup, you will not need to share the pot with them! JPOT should be your next favourite restaurant to organize a gathering!

Yummy food deserves some photography attention! The diners were so attracted by the appetising food display that they couldn’t resist taking photos of them.

AsiaMalls Million Dollar Memo

We have just submitted our Million Dollar Memo video!

Asiamalls million dollar memo video

Support us please! Watch and vote for us by clicking on this link: Asiamalls Million Dollar Memo Video

Words could not express how united our team spirit is, here at AsiaMalls Management. Which is why, being here, makes our job, the best in the world!

Wait wait, why the sudden mention of the BEST ORGANIZATION IN THE WORLD?

Well, remember the “Best Job in the world” campaign by Australia Tourism years back? This time, Tourism Queensland has sent out a Million Dollar Memo inviting companies and workplaces worldwide to compete for the Ultimate Reward – one million dollars (AUD) worth of travel experiences to Queensland, Australia.

For the contest, we have to put together a video entry to demonstrate why our company is a great place to work and why Queensland is the ultimate reward destination.

One of our colleagues spotted the Million Dollar Memo print advertisement. Coincidentally, our General Manager also had the idea for Asiamalls to submit a video.

Time was however, not on our side. We had to film, edit and garner votes for our video within days. We put together a simple storyboard, invited colleagues from our sister malls (Tiong Bahru Plaza, Hougang Mall, Liang Court, White Sands and Century Square) to join us for the filming. Of course, nothing is impossible for us! We did it! 🙂

Before our mall was opened officially to the public, we gathered at the travelator, pretending to surf.

We did our filming before the mall was opened to the public. We gathered ourselves at one of our travellators, pretending to surf, for the video.

We had lots of fun!

One scene was shot at our meeting room

One of our colleagues submerged his head into the sink at our pantry for the snorkeling effect... He got really wet! Anything to go to Queensland!

Our technicians at rooftop, pretending to surf on trolleys.

Our General Manager looking really funny at her desk! She wholeheartedly supported this initiative! 

There are a few criteria to win the competition. First, our video needs to be among the top 20 entries with the most number of “likes”, “shares” and “views”. Once we are among the top 20, we will move on to the second round of selection where we will need to send a representative to attend an incentive challenge event in Queensland Australia!

We are by far, the only organization in Singapore that has submitted a video entry! Yeah! We want to do Singapore proud!

Queensland, here we come!

The Art of Glass Engraving

The team at Tampines 1 recently caught up with Mr. Dominic Fondé, one of the few professional glass artists living and working in Singapore.  He is currently at Tampines 1 to showcase some of his masterpieces and do “live” demonstrations on glass engraving.

Dominic was trained as a glassblower, and now specialises in glass engraving.  He had exhibited many of his art pieces in the United Kingdom and Europe, and his public commissions notably include a series of engraved art glass windows at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens.  Dominic relocated to Singapore in 2005 and has since been working as a glass artist, designer, drawer and educator.

Glass Engraving

So what is glass engraving? Glass engraving is an art with a long history and tradition. Art glass making is a huge field with engages different techniques – some of these techniques require expensive materials, specialised equipment and many hours of dedicated practice. In contrast, glass engraving needs little specialised equipment.  A particular technique  Dominic uses involves the use of a small hand held drill engraver that looks like a dentist’s drill. It carves lines on the glass surface.  These lines can be as subtle as a pencil sketch or as bold as a graphic artwork created with thick tipped marker pen.

My Secret Garden, by Dominic Fonde, 2007
Other common engraving techniques include copper or diamond wheels on a lathe, but Dominic prefers drill engraving as it is simple, direct and it is almost like drawing.  He notes that the drill is small and portable, so he can simply put it in his bag and bring it along wherever he goes.

Dominc will be at Tampines 1 atrium from 22 to 28 November.  He is most happy to engrave your name or special dedication for FREE if you purchase any glass product (like wine bottles or perfume) from any of our stores at Tampines 1.  Limited to the first 100 shoppers who spend a min. of $50* and offer valids till 28 November 2010.

If you are keen to find out more about glass engraving, come down to speak to Dominic at The Art of Christmas Atrium Fair, from 22 – 28 Nov.
