P.Osh Valentine's Day Promotion 2013

Valentine's Day.
The day of Overflowing Love


The day you see couples strolling down the streets hand in hand, lips to lips and being lovey dovey all day long. The day when you see MORE couples then ever on the streets.

With the advancement of the internet, computers and mobile phones. It becomes a convent access of communication. We forget the days of handwritten letters and handmade gifts made and sent to people close to our hearts. Remember when was the last time you ever wrote a letter to a close friend, buddy, crush, lover, love ones or parents? Do you still keep them?


Honestly, I still do some some letters from secondary school in my treasure box! They are really lovely memories, though reading them again you may sometimes forget what in the world you were talking about yet it still gives you that feeling of sweetness. Furthermore, sincerity can't be felt through electronic devices they only give out monotonous emotions. Handwritten letter or even telling a person over the phone has more sincerity and emotions. Won't you agree with me?

 Have you ever wondered what Valentine's Day is all about? 

Valentine's day is celebrated all over the world, yet sometimes we wonder how Valentine's Day actually came about? Well, I did a little research to find out why.

Saint Valentine's Day, commonly known as Valentine's Day, or the Feast of Saint Valentine,[4] is observed on February 14 each year. It is celebrated in many countries around the world, although it remains a working day in most of them. It is the second most celebrated holiday around the world second to New Year's Day.

St. Valentine's Day began as a liturgical celebration of one or more early Christian saints named Valentinus. The most popularmartyrology associated with Saint Valentine was that he was imprisoned for performing weddings for soldiers who were forbidden to marry and for ministering to Christians, who were persecuted under the Roman Empire; during his imprisonment, he is said to have healed the daughter of his jailer Asterius. Legend states that before his execution he wrote "from your Valentine" as a farewell to her. Today, Saint Valentine's Day is an official feast day in the Anglican Communion, as well as in theLutheran Church. The Eastern Orthodox Church also celebrates Saint Valentine's Day, albeit on July 6th and July 30th, the former date in honor of the Roman presbyter Saint Valentine, and the latter date in honor of Hieromartyr Valentine, the Bishop of Interamna (modern Terni).

The day was first associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition ofcourtly love flourished. By the 15th century, it had evolved into an occasion in which lovers expressed their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards (known as "valentines"). Valentine's Day symbols that are used today include the heart-shaped outline, doves, and the figure of the winged Cupid. Since the 19th century, handwritten valentines have given way to mass-produced greeting cards.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Ever wished you had an awesome honeymoon in the world's romantic places, yet financial issues are always an issue? Or going on a sweet holiday with your special one to an amazing place to spend or celebrate your anniversary, love or just to spend time alone together yet have no idea where?

LollyTalk: Singapore's Handmade Rock Candy

Fan of Candies?

Love sweets?

Got a sweet tooth?

I'm a Candy lover, are you too?

You must be wondering, why LollyTalk aren't you?
Let's find out more about them together, shall we?

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

 LOLLYTALK 
The next upcoming BIG hit in Singapore

We are a homegrown candy maker from Singapore that makes our own rock candies fresh from scratch as all our candies are handmade. We make a variety of flavours including Queensland’s renowned banana and watermelon, as well as sarsi and root beer. At LollyTalk, we are committed to making the best tasting quality candies and hence we are constantly on the lookout for new flavours to improve the taste of our candies. In addition, our candies can be customised for special occasions such as weddings and birthdays


Perhaps unknown to many, handmade rock candies originated from Australia and the birth of LollyTalk in 2010 pays tribute to that. That year we headed Down Under to learn the art of candy-making from the Aussies themselves. We secured an apprenticeship with Ross and Judy, who were the undisputed leaders in candy-making in Queensland. The couple won the title Grand Champion Rock Candy as well as multiple awards at the 2009 Royal Melbourne Fine Food Awards, Australia’s premium fine food event that is held annually to give recognition to outstanding producers in the Australian fine food industry, including all its major candy and dessert makers. Being the Grand Champion of rock candy, Ross and Judy were awarded the gold medal for their fruit rock mix, silver medal for lollypops and bronze medal for design candy.

Under our masters’ guidance, we picked up the finer points in making authentic Aussie rock candies that taste and look good. More importantly, we learnt to have fun and enjoy the whole process of candy-making. And it was this unique candy-making skill and experience that we brought back to set up shop in Singapore, which differentiates LollyTalk from other mainstream candy makers in the market.

As part of LollyTalk’s Korean- inspired packaging, we created a fantasy island, Candy Island, where our two mascots Rocky and Candy live and make candies. Designed by a renowned Art Director.



LollyTalk also believes in giving back to the community, and thus has been involved in a number of social work with organisations such as the Yellow Ribbon Project in Singapore (where we worked with girls from Raffles Girls’ Secondary), and orphanages in Thailand and Myanmar. 

While our shop in Plaza Singapura is new, we have in fact been working with different personalities – including designers, artists and musicians – in the creative industry for a while now. LollyTalk has sponsored candies at various events in 2012, including the official opening of the local label WSDM at Millenia Walk, local designer rêvasseur’s launch of the National Day fashion piece, as well as the Singapore International Salsa Festival. LollyTalk has also supplied local Intune Music School with candies for its school projects, while we collaborated with Singapore singer-songwriter, Bevlyn Khoo, in an MTV for her upcoming album to be launched soon. 

WOW.

After finding out a little more about LollyTalk, impressive isn't it?
Being impressive, wouldn't you be curious to give it a try yourself?

LollyTalk was officially opened/launched on the 4th of January 2013, which was also the day I left for my 3D2N cruise with the family. Boohoo. But it's alright! Since I happened to be around Plaza Singapura last evening for dinner, I decided to pop by and take a little peek into the newly opened LollyTalk outlet.

The founder and staffs of LollyTalk are really friendly! So, don't have to be afraid! BIG smile and take your first step into LollyTalk to see what they have to offer! It's like taking a step into little candy island for a short adventure! How cool is that?
