Sponsored Post: WongaMania !

So lately, I've get to try a new card game called "Wongamania".
Wongamania is designed by an independent studio Capital Gains LLP, being the first financial edu-tainment card game in the world, that is modelled after modern economics.




As a Business student myself, I found studying business is tough and boring... 
Of course, a lot to take in too!



Despite that, Wongamania actually made it so much simple to understand economics in just awhile!
Eventually you'll be finding yourself trying to beat your friends in the game with so much strategic without you knowing! 


Gameplay of Wongamania



The basic concept of Wongamania is that it brings players through a typical economic cycle consisting of 4 stages: 

- The Recovery stage
- The Growth stage
- The Stagnant stage 
- The Recession stage

In order to win the game, players will have to accumulate a certain amount of money, which is termed as Wonga. Players get to draw a basic income at every turn and have to rely on investments to generate extra income, by either buying low or selling high, or wait for the interest, dividends or rentals generated by the assets.



Each economic quadrant has a unique characteristic which is a reflection of the real world. For example, it is often cheaper to buy stocks and properties during the recession or recovery phrase, while the best time to sell them away is during the stagnant phrase. During the recession phrase, players who still own stocks and properties will lose money, if they are still holding to them as the cycle changes.




The Global Cards are made up of real life political and economic events, which will help players, understand more about the implications of the various geopolitical events and government policies.




Incident Cards, which are a reflection of some of the personal triumphs and woes that people will face in their everyday lives. There are events like accident, illness, vacation, further education and a leaky roof, which one can use to either move ahead, or to slow down opponents through a series of deviously plotted events and accidents. 



To know more about what's Wongamania is about, check this video out !




Wongamania comes with 143 cards with 53 uniquely designed artwork, that makes learning about economics, assets, taxes and interest rates fun and enjoyable.
The company is currently raising funds through Starhub’s crowdfunding platform Crowdtivate (www.Crowdtivate.com), a platform for entrepreneurs to gather contributions from the crowd in the form of feedback funding, resources or ideas. 

The company hopes to raise SGD10,000 through this platform.

A day without technologies

It's all about technology these days. Almost everyone owns a smartphone.

Technologies, like smartphone for example, replaced most of what we need in our daily life.
It makes our life so much easier !



We can use it to surf the net, chat with our friends / family that are far away from us, take photos, listen to songs, watch videos, etc...

There're just a few things...
Are we really being more and more dependent on these technologies?
Can we survive a day or two without them?

We love to take photos and upload them up on the internet sharing what we're doing, wearing, eating, etc..
Well, I'm not saying that's a bad thing to do. After all, 'sharing is caring'. Plus, I'm also taking photos and sharing them on the internet.
But ! Imagine this...
One day, the main server of the photos you'd uploaded to, shut down. You did not backup/ lost your phone. What happened to all those memories you had (with friends/family/partner) ?



We had lost the era when we took pictures, print them out and store them in an album and sharing with whoever visits you.


Let's all just take a day and stay away from our smartphones, get out there and look around.
You'll eventually notice, the world is huge and beautiful!
Travel around, get out and have some fun!
Go to the beach, run around and swim!



Who know what you might find along your mini adventure, right?
It's just a day away from your smartphone, it won't hurt right?

Cheers !

Sponsored Post: The Escape Hunt



So recently, I've visited a great game called "ESCAPE HUNT".
Basically, it's about looking for clue, work as a team and solving puzzles !
Being a mini detective for an hour !

The Escape Hunt Experience is a unique adventure based on the classic “escape the room” games now popular in many places around the world.  Originally these were online point and click computer games such as Myst and Crimson Room. 

Escape Hunt offers a true “experience” like a mini theme park where you are transported back over 100 years and play the part of a famous London detective with your colleagues trying to solve a mystery.  As a team you play against the clock in one of our rooms to solve a mystery and thereby find your escape.

Escape Hunt's games are designed by a UK mensa member, who has a Masters in Psychology from Cambridge. They are multi-dimensional, and non-linear. Game play follows a strong story line and are logical, instead of random.
Before heading into the games room and waiting for your game to start ~
Escape Hunt offers you complimentary tea and biscuit at their beautiful and classy lounge ! 
* I had a great time there as their customer service is really good ! *Thumbs Up* !! 



Escape Hunt goes for the overall experience and pride itself on customer service, so be pampered while you're here cracking your skull and having a great time with your friends & family ! 

After challenging the difficult challenges for an hour / 45mins. 
Gather your group of friends/ family and dress up in Sherlock Holmes costumes for photo-taking as a souvenir !
