The Nokia Lumia 800

Advertorial

Last week I had a lot of fun coz I attended three Nokia events!!

It is for the launch of the new Nokia Lumia 800 and I can tell that the peeps from Nokia are really excited about this phone because it is the first Nokia Windows phone!

They really went all out! There were 2 roadshows last Saturday and Sunday along Orchard Road, and a big launch last Wednesday. Rozz and Paul Foster were the emcees. From fashion shows to DJ showdowns to, well, me, they really spared no expense to introduce the new Lumia to Singapore!

I even saw the ads for the Lumia on my google adsense at the sidebar wtf. I was damn shocked like HOW DID GOOGLE KNOW?

Here are some pictures:

Rozz and I chatting

Models! And check out the pink style cube at the back!

Three local designers were asked to showcase clothes themed to the Lumia.

The winning team is Feist and Heist! That's the designer, Min, on the right. She's super talented or what? I love how she took the Nokia Lumia "tiles" (I will explain later) and applied it on the accessories. The square rings and bangles are so cool Rozz requested for some from her.





Inside the style cube you can have the first sneak peak at the Nokia Lumia 800, which comes in Black, Pink and Blue!!

What I love are the matching earphones, exactly the same hue as the phone! Now THAT's style.



Also in the Style Cube are tons of accessories, wigs and makeup booths to let people have a makeover!! Can you believe this photo is taken with the Nokia Lumia? Freaking awesome 8mp Carl Zeiss lens!

Check out this happy little girl in a pink wig lol

Love the cheerful colours

Rozzie, Jade Seah and Min

Rozz and I!

On the launch day itself a GINORMOUS FOUR STOREY replica of the Nokia Lumia was erected at Clarke Quay...

The structure had "tiles" inside to mimic the phone's cute interface.

Pic taken during the rehearsal. Can you spot me?

On the actual day I was supposed to live-tweet and my tweets will go up on the giant screen there!

The models were rehearsing their walk in front of me and who can resist taking a picture like a lao tiko? LOL nice stems.



The turn out was fantastic on the actual day... So many people watching! Stressed!!

DJ Koflow was spinning and local band Sixx also performed. Koflow actually did a remix of the classic Nokia ringtone and made it awesomer! LOL

Me stepping out of my cube after live tweeting.

And doing an interview afterwards. Not relevant to the phone or event but I look chio in this picture CAN OR NOT???


Enough with the event pictures!! How's the phone?

Honestly, I must say I was quite skeptical when I got the phone but after using it I'm impressed!!

The windows platform is very easy to navigate and use and surprisingly simple and uncluttered.

The speed is amazing and it doesn't lag plus web browsing is a breeze because of the big screen and super fast loading speed.

Mine is black because the pink ones were not ready yet

As you can see the phone's main interface are these "tiles". I LOVE THEM!!

Why? Because the tiles are totally customizable. You can choose your favourite colour out of ELEVEN colours and make your background either black or white, which makes look at your phone a joy. (Obviously I chose pink :D)

Plus you can choose whatever important application you want on the tiles. Do you see the tile with my picture on it and the one with Mike's?

Well that's the best thing about the phone. You can set ANYBODY's personal "tile" there which makes it the best phone to stalk people imho. For example, the moment I open Mike's "tile", I see his latest facebook updates, latest pictures uploaded. I see options to call him, message him, email him, msn him, or even write on his facebook wall. Cool right?

The "people" tile there also lets you see all the latest updates from your friends whether via msn, facebook, twitter etc... You just need to sign in and it's all in ONE PLACE!! It's really social!

And coolest of all the moment you turn on the phone the tiles are always flipping to show off newest information and pictures. It looks so pretty. :)

Taken with the Nokia Lumia 800

The awesome 8mp camera means you never have to bring a camera out again.

Many apps like Youtube, Whatsapp, Angry Birds, Twitter etc are all also available for the Windows Platform.

Apparently the phone also has a talking GPS system to help you while you drive! Talk about combining all gadgets into one!

And the most amazing bit about the phone? I randomly found this out that day when I was just messing around with it:

Check this out:

I take a picture of this random card from the event.

And guess what? Just from that picture, the Nokia Lumia can TRANSLATE THE TEXT!!

WHAT IS THIS SORCERY?!

Granted it's not very accurate but this is my first try ever and the card I'm holding is very small!

If you are looking to buy a new phone maybe you can give the Nokia Lumia 800 a try!

Igloo's Video + My Sims Social house!

Don't know if you guys noticed the change in the "Latest Video" tab up on top there but I have a new Youtube video!

As promised I edited the Igloo video and I must say I really love this one! She's super cute!

The peeps from Clicknetwork also shot a video with Igloo and it's gonna be more informative and detailed than mine. I think it'd be out next week. They also managed to capture shots of Igloo doing happy binkies (that's when bunnies hop and twist in midair to show joyfulness, it's awesome to behold) so I can't wait till it comes out!

Here are some of the photos my DSLR takes at the start of each video. I apologize for the same stoic expression throughout, that's my face as I press the record button.

  Also, as the title suggested, I decided to show y'all my Sims Social house!


Click to enlarge

I know barely anyone can be bothered about Sims Social (it's a game on facebook!) but I spent quite a lot of time decorating it so I MUST SHOW IT OFF!! :D

I spent my initial 20 sims cash on my character's pink hair and bought some coz there were some quest items I just couldn't get wtf. Had excess so I bought the flowy couch thing. I won the blue gazebo from one of the two free Winter Garden Mystery box lah! So lucky one!! :D

Make a Special Change for a Special Day!

Advertorial

The holidays are coming up!! This is the time of the year when we get invited to loads of parties and everyone is trying to look their best.

Us girls always want to doll up for Xmas/NYE and thus we put on new clothes and shows and put on extra makeup... But it is true that most of us cannot be bothered to do much to our hair!

This was how my hair looked like last Xmas... I just curled it and let it be. And that's what I do most of the time anyway. It's nice... but so boring!

It's time to...

"What should I do with you for Xmas this year?"

If you are thinking of a new hairstyle for the holidays, fret not! Liese just came up with a new Lookbook filled with easy-to-do hairstyles just for Xmas!



Liese teamed with Tokyo's top hair designer Takahisa Okamura to come up with a series of hairstyles for the Xmas season.

Check out the "Making of" video here with the chio Japanese models!



And this is the style I chose:



It looks so cute on the model, Yu Hirukawa, I just had to do it on myself too! I'd show you guys how, it's really simple!

Let's start:



Spray some Liese Juicy Shower on those strands! The Juicy shower instantly boosts the moisture level of your hair and smoothens out frizz and makes your hair silky soft so it's easier to style.

It smells really nice too - great for if you want to meet someone new before the year ends!

Comb through your hair to get rid of the kinks

Take out two thick clusters of hair from your hair parting and separate the rest
by putting them behind your shoulders

Now for some Liese Designing Jelly

The Designing Jelly is special because it does not have the sticky wax feeling or stiff gel look!

The texture is watery therefore spreads easily and I was surprised to find that it is really not sticky! Amazing! For this style you don't need a very strong wax/gel either, just as extra security in case you want to dance the night away. :)

Btw all of Liese's styling products are numbered according to their holding power so the bigger the number the stronger the holding power. For this look I chose Designing Jelly in 04 Move and Flow because I want to create a pouf on my hair later.




Apply the Designing Jelly then tie a super high ponytail. Create a loop like this instead of pulling the hair ends out!

Fan out the hair and secure with loads of bobby pins!

For girls with shorter hair you can still create a big pouf, just curl your hair first!

Curl the strands around your face.

Last step... Select either a giant bow or flower accessory to pin onto your hair.

FINISHED!

Igloo - my new pet bunny!

HELLO~~~!

Sorry for the larger amount of advertorials than usual. It is Xmas time and everyone's favourite advertising period! And as you all know I'd be moving into my new hdb soon enough and I need money for renovation in case I can't get sponsors. :P

I don't know why I'm justifying why I'm earning money wtf. IT IS BECAUSE YOU PEOPLE ARE SO MEAN, GUILT TRIPPING ME!! I'm trying to blog more ok! There are tons of updates on my twitter and POTM but does anyone care? Nooooooooo

Anyway, a lot of you have asked me to blog about Igloo so here it is!!

I also shot a super cute video of Igloo but Cheesie's in Singapore and she's staying over at my place. She's an early sleeper so it's hard to for me edit videos while she's sleeping in my room - I don't think she'd enjoy me cooing over Igloo again and again at 4am - so I haven't finished editing it yet! (And I only edit stuff in the middle of the night, I simply can't do it in the afternoon)

So here are all the photos I managed to take of Igloo so far! Sorry about the quality, all taken with the iPhone. Some I posted on POTM before but I thought it would be nice to have them all together.

At Clara's house where I first met her!

Remember Clara, who is the owner of Fluffy, the bunny on my blog banner? I told her the moment Fluffy gets lop babies I want one!! Well his wife gave birth on Oct 13th and Clara waited till the babies were an ok age to get visitors... I was so anxious the whole 3 weeks!

Igloo has 2 other siblings and they are both brown like Fluffy. My friend Rykiel bought one of Fluffy's sisters! Igloo is grey-brown and the most niap one so I chose her. :D

Her mother is a broken orange Holland lop.

How can anything be so cuteeeeeeeee??

HELLO SNOOZY

She looks really brown in some pictures!

Lying against Mike in this one.

Resting on Huiwen's belly

Spot the robot

Punk bunny

Baby carrot for baby bunny!

Sleeping on me!! Love her so much ♥

When I saw this picture after I took it I was like WTF WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOUR NOSE?? Turns out it's just wet from drinking water.

Eating a strawberry, leaves and all

OMG I just love this bunny so so much!!

I didn't want to bring up the sore topic of Pumpkin but yeah as you all know she made me have horrible feelings for the longest time. In fact, I'm completely turned off by dogs now. Don't wanna go on about that but yeah, when I first got Igloo I kept having panic attacks like "OMG WHAT HAVE I DONE WHAT IF I DON'T LIKE HER!!!!111" Like literally I couldn't breathe and all wtf

For the first time I understand why men have commitment phobia! At least with girlfriends you can ditch them but it's so taboo and cruel to ditch a pet. And no ditching means you got to take care of it for years even if you don't like them!

The first 2 days I got her I actually didn't even announce it coz of my anxiety but now I KNOW she is a keeper for sure!

Bunnies are so misunderstood. Everyone thinks they are jittery crap machines who are "useless" smelly pets that remain in their cage all day long, but it's so not true!!

I try to bring her out of her cage at least 2 or 3 times a day and she loooves it! I trained her to stand up at my tongue clicking sound to beg for food and she loves to snuggle on my belly to sleep. She loves ear scratches so she tries to nudge her ears into my fingers too!!

Before I got a bunny I never knew they do something called "binkies" when they are happy... It's when they hop and sprint around and sometimes twist their body in midair. It's very distinctive and Igloo always does it when we bring her out!! And in the last 2 days she's started to lick Mike and I a lot. Either we are very tasty or she likes grooming us! :D

Bunnies do crap a lot but their shit are usually these really hard pellets that are super unoffensive and not smelly at all wtf. When she's on the couch with me I put a towel there for her to pee on (which she really tries hard not to do so she will tolerate for at least 2 hours before she can't take it anymore) and I just pick up her poop pellets with my hands into a little plastic bag.

p/s: Mike came up with the name, says she looks like an igloo.

p/p/s: Will be posting the video soon! You guys will enjoy it. :)

p/p/p/s: All mentions of said previous dog will be deleted! GO AWAY!

p/p/p/p/s: OMG Blahpitty blah blah be a responsible pet owner do not just buy bunnies coz they are cute there are abandoned bunnies so adopt do not buy blah blah. You preachy people happy now?
