Tiger Beer’s new campaign, the “Unofficial Official History of Singapore” is inspired by the launch of Tiger Beer’s first can in 1965, the same year that Singapore gained independence.
The campaign aims to inspire Singaporeans to stop and take a look at ourselves with a fresh perspective, and especially at some of Singapore’s most iconic traits and social peculiarities – things that makes us Singaporean.

Krusell
In case you are not familiar with the brand Krusell, Krusell is a manufacturer of smartphone and tablet accessories. They are a Swedish company and have been around since 1991. I remember seeing Krusell cases being sold at Singtel shops when my Dad got his first mobile phone back in the 90s.
When the smartphone era came, I didn’t see much of Krusell cases around. But I guess now they are back.

The body of the Dell Venue 8 is made up of machined aluminium to give it a premium design and it is only 6mm thin and weighing only 305g.
