Hike
Some of the World's Most Dramatic Coastal-Cliff Landscapes on Aurora
Expeditions' New Voyage Along the West Coast of Ireland
Aurora Expeditions,
Australia's leading expedition cruising company, has announced its
first ever voyage to Ireland on board the new ship, the Greg Mortimer.
Sailing
from Dublin in 2021, this one of a kind 13-day itinerary features some
of the country's most spectacular coastal highlights, including Donegal,
Clare Island, Connemara National Park and The Skelligs.
Perched
on the edge of the Atlantic, Ireland's west coast is characterised by
soaring cliffs, dramatic peninsulas with medieval ruins and enchanting
castles steeped in history. This breathtaking scenery will be revealed
during expert-led wildlife walks, nature hikes and coastal kayaking
tours. Daily trips by Zodiac will showcase breeding seabirds such as
puffins, fulmars, guillemots, storm petrels and shearwaters.
Scattered
along the west coast and carved out in the harsh Atlantic Ocean are a
series of remote and private islands which hold the ghosts of a life,
long lost. Hidden away and exclusively available on this voyage, these
isles of savage beauty, forgotten in time, hold the archaeological gems
of iron and bronze age sites, and early Christian monasteries dating
back to 500-600 AD. Some isles were formerly home to pirates who ruled
the seas, now they are peacefully occupied by birdlife nesting on the
cliffs that dramatically rise from the seas.
Aurora
Expeditions Historian and British Isle expert notes, “As an
archaeologist and expedition guide, I find the remote corners of the
west of Ireland constantly surprising and inspiring. Here we encounter a
stunning combination of spectacular Atlantic scenery, wildlife,
fantastic ancient sites, and a unique living cultural heritage. What a
rare opportunity to explore these little-known treasures.”

This initiative is in partnership with GERMS and supported by official radio station, Mediacorp YES 933
This had taken place on the weekend of 1 May 2020 to 3 May 2020.
Senoko

companies, in partnership with independent creative agency, GERMS, has presented a weekend-long online music festival titled "Power Gig" to
raise funds for Community Chest's newly established The Invictus Fund
which will help deliver critical services to vulnerable communities
affected by COVID-19.
The
music festival kicked off Friday, 1 May from 4-6pm

Singapore's number one hit music station. Hosted by station DJs Kenneth
Chung (Zhong Kunhua) and Chua Weibin, the online festival featured a
strong line-up of talented local artistes who were put together by YES
933.
The 4 headline acts:
Jocie Guo Mei Mei, whose claim to fame is the song "Mouse Loves Rice" (老鼠爱大米), which broke album sales record in 2006.
Derrick
Hoh (He Wei Jian), a singer-songwriter and music producer who was the
first Singaporean artiste to achieve #1 spot on the Singapore iTunes
Store with his own composition.
Kenny
Khoo (Qiu Feng Ze), a Mandopop singer-songwriter based in Taiwan whose
first solo concert, "The Prophet", sold out within seconds of launch
Benjamin Kheng, a multi-talented artiste and lead singer of popular local band, The Sam Willows.
Other singers include Boon Hui Lu (Wen Hui Ru), Serene Koong, Gao Mei Gui, Sara Wee and Inch Chua.
The
festival continued with more home-based solo gigs by several local
artistes put together by GERMS such as Miss Lou, Abby Simone, Haneri
Milliona, and Dru Chen, with performances on their Instagram channels
over the long weekend till Sunday, 3 May 2020.
The public can find out more information on the initiative and make an online donation of any amount through www.senokopowergig.com. To support the community, Senoko Energy will match public donations dollar-for-dollar, up to S$30,000.
Mr
James Chong, Head of Commercial of Senoko Energy, said, "As a company,
we recognise that we can make a positive impact on the communities we
serve, and are committed to supporting fellow Singaporeans during these
challenging times. Through this initiative, we hope to assist those in
need while helping to spread positive energy to all who are doing their
part and staying home."
Echoing
the sentiment, Mr James Chua, founder and Managing Director of GERMS,
added, "As a Singapore-founded agency, we are committed to ensuring the
positive well-being of Singaporeans, and cannot stress enough the
importance for each of us to tap on our capabilities and competencies,
and come together in aid of the most vulnerable in our community."
"Sometimes,
all it takes is connecting through music to lift our spirits and this
is what we hope to achieve through this partnership with Senoko Energy
and GERMS. Even though the community is not able to gather physically on
the Labour Day public holiday for a concert, we want to still be able
to bring cheer to people at home and unite them through music and
technology. With a generous matching from Senoko Energy and the support
from kind artistes giving back through their talents, we want to uplift
the community and enable them to play a part in giving back to those in
need," said Mr Phillip Tan, Chairman of Community Chest.
The
Invictus Fund, set up by the National Council of Social Service,
supports about 80 social service agencies in Singapore that deliver
critical services to vulnerable seniors, families in need, persons with
disabilities, children with special needs, youth-at-risk and persons
with mental health conditions. As such, there is an urgent need to
garner donations and support for these non-profit organisations to
ensure that they can continue operations during this period. The
donation link had opened from 1 May and will be available till 1 June
2020 and the final amount collected from this event will be published
and announced on 2 June 2020 on the social pages of Senoko Energy.
