Indonesia’s Cempedak Island resort
From S$450 (HK$2,500) per night plus taxes for a Sea View villa; S$95 per person per day extra for full board. Cempedak – the common name for the tree known to Latin speakers as Artocarpus integer – is a new private island resort off the east coast of Indonesia’s Bintan Island. It is from the same team behind nearby Nikoi Island, another Robinson Crusoe-esque set up.

The Crazy Rich Asians guide to Singapore
Just as New York was to Sex and the City, so Singapore is to Crazy Rich Asians .
The Lion City doesn’t just hold its own among a cast that includes Michelle Yeoh Choo Kheng, Constance Wu, Awkwafina and Jimmy O. Yang, it’s a veritable scene stealer. Although the film, based on a 2013 novel by Kevin Kwan about super-wealthy Chinese Singaporeans and their ultra lavish lifestyles – and currently showing in Hong Kong cinemas – was shot mostly in Kuala Lumpur, Singapore shines in a series of panoramic shots and glamorous location close-ups.
Would you pay US$250,000 for a wine journey ?
Ever wanted to create your own personal blend of fine wine? The bigger question, however, is: would you be willing to pay US$250,000 (around HK$1.9 million) for it?
Diehard vino lovers with deep enough pockets will get to find out if the price tag is worth it when they join the Ultimate Barossa Australia Wine Experience, which takes place across seven days. The Barossa winemaking region is north of Adelaide in South Australia.
The region is quickly earning itself a reputation as a wine destination, with robust reds and complex whites doing all the talking (while you do the drinking). In short, South Australia is the vino expert’s best-kept secret.

At just 27, Jennifer Lawrence has already slipped into a wide range of life-changing roles: Her breakout role in 2010's Winter's Bone put her on the map and landed her an Academy Award nomination, her turn as Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games series made her a certified star, and, of course, 2012's Silver Linings Playbook led to her taking home the Best Actress Oscar. But, as Lawrence explained on Howard Stern's radio show this week, there's still one role she didn't get that haunts her to this day.
"The one thing that really killed me, like the only time I've ever been truly devastated by losing an audition―'cause most of the time you're like, 'Ah, wasn't meant to be, move on, what can you do?'―was Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland," she said. "That one devastated me." The role of Alice ended up going to Mia Wasikowska, who Lawrence conceded was "perfect and amazing" in the role—plus, "I couldn't have had a British accent," she admitted.

Singapore's Restaurants Take A Stand Against Shark Fin Consumption
Shark fin soup has been a tradition at Chinese festive celebrations and wedding banquets, but growing demand of shark fin soup is pushing sharks to extinction and disrupting the balance of our oceans. Without sharks, the entire ocean ecosystem could be altered, negatively impacting humans and ocean dwellers alike.
According to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), a quarter of sharks and rays are facing extinction in the coming years. Today, 100 million sharks are killed annually around the world, driven by demand for their fins and meat. Hong Kong, China, Malaysia, Singapore and Taiwan are the top importers of shark fins globally. The fins are supplied by Indonesia, Spain, India, the United States and Argentina, which account for almost half of all shark landings in the world.

This Is The $1M+ Supercar You Thought Toyota Would Never Make
The GR Super Sports is a 986hp hypercar that’s based on the company’s Le Mans LMP1-derived race car, a road-going rocket that competes in the World Endurance Championships. But don’t expect to see this car anytime soon in Toyota dealers. While company CEO Akio Toyoda was quick to stress this car may only be a concept, for now, he did say that he had intentions to launch a limited edition production model in the not too distant future.
