Hellos! Got a nice information to share with you today. Mrupupup found a website that allows cash back to the purchases you made with online merchants likes Lazada, Groupon, Taobao, Expedia and many more. The website is know as https://www.shopback.sg . Pretty interesting website - allows you get cash back to your bank account - key point! Click on any store in the https://www.shopback.sg  website. Shop as usual on the store and make a purchase (think I like Expedia - going for December Holidays!). Here's the interesting part, you can get cashback in your shopback account within 48 hrs. Once you hit $10 (minimum to redeem) in your cashback, one can cash out to your online bank account or Paypal at the end of each month! Think Expedia booking for flights and hotels or shop for stuff at Lazada can easily hit $1000. So with cashback you can get some discount back in the form of cash instead of some vouchers which may need minimum spending to qualify for discounts....

Do check out the SMTOWN the Stage Movie (documentary). Very nice and thrilling show (because of the fast paced hip hop dance). Mrupupup saw this documentary movie which described the lives of the Korean singing and dance artiste in the Korean music industry (SMTOWN).  The  documentary presents footage from Korea's SM Entertainment's recent worldwide concert tour, " SMTOWN  Live World Tour IV" in Korea, Japan, and China and  features Korean superstars & groups like  BoA, TVXQ, Super Junior, Girls Generation and Red Velvet. One could see many things like backstage action, how they trained for many years to be famous, how trainees need to train on and on to get at least a chance to be on SMTOWN Stage. One Korean Group trained in dance steps and lyrics for two years to debut one single Korean song. Wow, two years the same song on and on. Very nice show and Mrupupup thinks only Golden Village Plaza Singapore and GV Tampines are showing this movie in their ci...

Mrupupup encountered a very nice innovative Malay food stall selling Mee Rebus, Mee Soto and other nice Malay dishes. The dishes had nice sounding names that Mrupupup needed a fellow patron in the long queue to explain the names of the dishes. Mrupupup in the end tried the Mee Rebus 'Tarik' (costs $4.80) - a hybrid of satay meat and sauce together with the Mee Rebus - thick gravy with mee, lime, onions, green chilli and an egg. Very nice dish! Mrupupup never tasted this type of thick gravy Mee Rebus with Satay Sauce and Satay chicken meat. Super yummy. The "Yunos N Family" stall got a queue during lunch time and stall at Blk 724 Ang Mo Mio Avenue 6 Hawker Centre. See the satay sauce and satay chicken meat in the Mee Rebus Tarik Gravy- Very Nice  

Commando Challenge run was not the normal type of 6km run. Commando Challenge was a tough run that involves clearing high walls, soaking through an ice pond, electrifying obstacles (with real voltage!), scaling curved walls while trying to complete a 6km run in Sentosa. Really tough run, definitely Mrupupup was super tired the next day after the run. Mrupupup finished the Commando Challenge - Haha, all the way.... yeah, go go go go ! Check out the photos of 2015 Commando Challenge held along Sentosa's Siloso and Tanjong beaches.  Good challenging run! Great fun and tough run - not the normal run. Need to train for it and also expensive at $85 per person for 6km. There was also a Extreme Commando Challenge - meaning two loops run and carrying a 15km bag along the way (really tougher!). In groups braving through the electric voltage wires for the final finish Watching people finish through the final stage of electric shock  Huge relief Yeah I complete th...

Mrupupup joined in the ASUS ZenFestival 2015 Singapore event with ASUS celebrity endorser, Michelle Chong, the actress from "Noose" TV show, and experienced the beauty and power of the new launched ASUS ZenFone smartphones! One of the highlight of this event was the hands-on experience with ZenFone Selfie (new phone launch), their latest ZenFone with 13MP dual cameras, best for selfies and wefies. Tried out the Asus smartphones in the ASUS launch event. As I also used Asus product, so I might be biased in my thoughts, Mrupupup felt that the ASUS smartphone offers value for money (not too expensive) as compared to other brands and performance of the products were comparable with the best smartphone brands in the world. Check out the pictures from the ASUS Zen Festival which was held recently in Chijmes Hall, Victoria Street, Singapore. Presentation on the new Asus Phones on promotion with Prices   The new Asus Zenfone Self...
