[INSIGHTS] 3 ‘RWS Invites’ reasons why you deserve free upgrades
Everybody loves a free upgrade. If you can get a deluxe double cheeseburger at the price of a plain cheeseburger, you’d say yes to that upgrade. If you can rent a swanky sports car at the price of a bland compact car, you’d take that upgrade too. And if you can fly first class by paying the price of an economy class ticket, you’ll definitely take up the offer – we know we would.
An instant upgrade to your Universal Studios Singapore® Annual Pass sounds like an enticing deal too, and that’s exactly what RWS Invites members are getting in the month of June.
Here are three reasons why you deserve this exclusive treat.
[INSIGHTS] Who lives on Sesame Street® at Universal Studios Singapore®?
How can any of us who grew up in the 1980s forget about the big, nasal-voiced yellow bird who’s always bright and cheery? I leak my age but it’s all worthwhile.
Kids programmes in that era only served to entertain with little educational value. But Sesame Street was a breath of fresh air. Children across the world connected with a bevy of colourful and adorable on-screen characters, each one representing different personas and traits. It inculcated honest moral values and taught kids their ABCs and Ps and Qs.
[WHO’S WHO] A day in the life of a Universal Studios Singapore® Star Guide
You might have seen them around Universal Studios Singapore®– people clad in black, wielding walkie-talkies, stopping you from swarming up next to Woody Woodpecker and Marilyn Monroe. Just who are they?
Introducing the Star Guides – people who protect their character charges, keep overzealous fans at bay, and keep a close watch on schedules, like a manager, butler and personal bodyguard all rolled into one. And before you think they’re an unfriendly lot, they’re not.
Just look at all those bright smiles.
Their work sounds easy enough. All they do is keep tabs on the characters, right? But when I was invited for a backstage sneak peek of their typical workday, I realized that it is far more challenging than I initially thought. I met up with JR, the In-Charge for Madagascar (one of the park’s seven zones), who brought me into their “greenroom” – a backstage area for performers and escorts.
[INSIGHTS] 5 Things to get Mummy this Mother’s Day
I remember the Mother’s Day cards my brother and I used to painstakingly hand-draw when we were children, and how mum would cherish them all. Just last year during the spring cleaning season, she unearthed a box that held all the cards we ever made her. Something about that box of archived memories spoke louder than any declaration of love or comfort that she could have given us, and I realize the greatest gift is an experience and the meaning behind the gift, rather than the physical gift itself.
With only a week left to 13 May, we’ve put together a list of experiences that you can get Mum for Mother’s Day, to show her how much she means to you.
[FOOD] World Gourmet Summit 2012 Opening Reception
It would have been a mundane Monday (with abysmally humid weather) but for the anticipation of the start of 11 days of gastronomic pleasures. 6:30 PM at the Maritime Experiential Museum saw the gathering of hosting chefs, guest chefs, and the who’s who of the hosting establishments for an exclusive pre-opening press conference. It was apt that the 16th World Gourmet Summit would kick start at the museum – the sails of the Bao Chuan in the background was a majestic symbol of 16 years of epicurean collaborations, culinary innovation and good taste.
