Went for the soft launch of Mercedes-Benz V-Class a few weeks ago to check it out.

It was nicely displayed in the showroom for interested buyers to take a look at the exterior, interior and features of the V-Class.  Look at the standalone display of the V-Class... very elegantly done!


A closer look at the Mercedes-Benz V-Class...
To me, it is really more of a family car as you can pack a lot of people inside and yet there is still a lot of leg room.


The car has stickers at the side to highlight to potential buyers the interesting features of the V-class.  ok, I think the Active Parking Assist with PARKTRONIC will be good for drivers like me who can't do parallel parking well... lolx.

I think Mercedes-Benz V-Class is super safe with features like 360 degree camera, Attention Assist, PRE-SAFE, Adaptive Brake Lights and of course the front airbags, sidebars and windowbags.


Let's take a look at the interior of the car.  It is so luxurious!

There are so many new features like the large 7" Central Media Display, Avantgarde Interior Design Package, comfort seats in nappa leather, ambient lighting, 3-spoke multifunction steering wheel wrapped in nappa leather with 12 control buttons, high-gloss dark anthracite ebony wood-look trim, high quality TFT colour display in the instrument cluster with sporty design, load compartment divider, luxury centre console with retractable cover, brushed aluminium sports pedal and leather covered armrests in door lining.







Besides the ultra elegant exterior and interior of the Mercedes-Benz V-class, it also has a 2.1l high-torque 4-cylinder diesel engine for agile performance and high efficiency, 7G-tronic plus 7 speed automatic transmission, agility select for a tailor-made driving experience, ECO start/stop function, cruise control with speedtronic variable speed limiter and Hill-Start Assist.

With such impressive driving dynamics, the Mercedes-Benz V-class is the perfect car for the PMEBs and people with big family!

I also walked around the showroom to take a look at the rest of the cars.



Customise your Mercedes-Benz with the various selections.





ok, for me, I would personally go for the Mercedes-Benz A-class cos I love the sporty look and feel.  Also, it is small and zippy and I only go for small cute sporty cars... lolx.  Looking at all the 3 colours, I prefer the white one, although the red one looks extremely sporty.  That's cos my Fengshui Master told me to avoid things in red.  The black one looks elegant but I don't really like black cars.  I still prefer a more vibrant and bright colour.





The sales executive, Daphne, was really sweet and bought drinks and food from the cafe for me.



 Anyone wants to buy Mercedes-Benz cars? Just let me know and I can introduce Daphne to you.  Look at her... so pretty! :)


 My personal favourite is still the Mercedes-Benz A-Class!

Had the privilege to attend Tudor's Pop-up Store event, happening right outside Wisma Atria Orchard.  It was indeed a fun event, with watch collectors coming to check out the collections on display.


Check out the collections of Tudor watches on display...


This one looks like Rolex.


These two also looked like Rolex... lolx.






ok... The exciting part... All the guests got to open up pigeonholes with a universal key.  Each pigeonhole is a guaranteed sure win prize.  Tudor really pampered us very much!  One of the models helping out at the booth.  She's really sweet and pretty!


 Some photos at the event...



And of course, Tudor also pampered us with food... glorious food.  There were scallops, fish, beef canapés and much more.  Who can ask for more.


 Let's not forget about the bubbles...I was so addicted.


 Checking out the Tudor watches.  The watches for display were meant for men.  Look at the size of the Tudor watch compared to my Rolex watch.  I guess if a lady's wrist is quite big, she would be able to fit into one of the Tudor watches.  But not me though.

Photos with Roland, Senior Boutique Manager of Emperor Watch & Jewellery.



 Photos with my champagne and wine drinking buddy, Warren.  He always includes me in his entourage of friends whenever he attend high profile events.  So nice!





More photos with the models on duty that day.



 Let's see... What do we have in the Tudor goodie bag? Make a guess...


A Tudor namecard holder!  Great.... I can replace my LV namecard holder with this, while I find my Chanel card holder in caviar black with silver hardware.  It seems like it is so difficult to find it.



I also got a catalogue of Tudor watches.


My favorite design of Tudor watch would be this- Tudor Clair De Rose 26 mm.  Love the pink gold bezel, the cut out Tudor rose centre, mother of pearl dial and those cute diamonds representing the numbers.

It was a privilege to attend the preview of the latest collection from Lotus Arts de Vivre, thanks to my bro, Warren.  To find out more about Lotus Arts de Vivre, do check out their website http://www.lotusartsdevivre.com.  You can see some of their products online.  I love the design of their fine jewelry as the pieces are so uniquely designed.  My favourites pieces are the dragon ring and earrings and snake collection.


Lotus Arts de Vivre is located in countries like Thailand, China, France, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Turkey, UK, USA, Russia and of course Singapore.  The preview was held at Raffles Hotel Arcade.

I was amazed at how the various pieces were on display.  Creativity at its best... Let me show you what I meant...



























All these pieces are so exclusive and they do come with handsome price tags, which was why the invited guests are mostly collectors or socialites.



This is Lady Kyra, born with noble blood.  She was such a friendly lady and told me that her husband is died but she is living her life to the fullest.  I totally agree with her on that.  We don't really need to depend on men to bring us happiness as we can be as happy as we want.  She was also extremely sweet and kept telling me that I was the best dressed lady in the house when I was just wearing my office wear there. :)  She was so kind to invite me to her house for a glass of champagne when I am free.


This was the outfit of the day.  Dress from NESS. Bag from Celine.


Another lady I met over.  She's Pooja, Trends Analyst.


Photo with my bro, Warren.


Photo with Warren and Roy.



How can we ever forget Chief Operating Officer of Lotus Arts de Vivre, Nicklas von Bueren, the son of the founder.

The guests were extremely well fed that day with white and red wine and sparkling white wine and glorious food catered from Halia.  Let the photos do the talking now!














It was indeed a wonderful preview of luxurious home decor and jewelry, matched with gourmet cusine and bubbles.  Life can't be any better than this!

Love,
Elaine
