Since the first haircut she did for me 2 years back, I was in love with her! She’s cute, funny, nice, and most importantly, she makes me look good! I’ve not been satisfied with any other hairdressers I’ve been to ever since I met Huifen. Occasionally, my mom will ask me to go to her hairsaloon when she receives any promotions. Other times, I just need to get a haircut immediately, like if I’m attending an interview the next day. I hate it when my hair is being cut by others.

Perhaps it’s a relationship I’ve formed with Huifen, so I’m biased. But she really cuts my hair to my liking, exactly what I want. There have been times when I tell her to go crazy on my hair and I trust her taste completely. She knows which hairstyle will suit my personality and my appearance.

This is my most recent haircut, and this time I remembered to bring along a camera to take pictures with her!

you can find her at Jeric Salon (under Reds salon), at Plaza Singapura basement 1 and their number is 63377838

Be sure to make an appointment first before heading down, or be prepared to wait 30minutes. She’s off on Thursdays usually. Haircut + wash + blowdry costs about S$40++

hate u!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can’t believe the news, when I got a MSN message from my friend, that Michael Jackson is dead. How is it possible? The King of Pop is still so young.. He’s the King, how can he just leave like this….

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_obit_michael_jackson

Jackson died at UCLA Medical Center after being stricken at his rented home in Holmby Hills. Paramedics tried to resuscitate him at his home for nearly three-quarters of an hour, then rushed him to the hospital, where doctors continued to work on him.

Michael Jackson left so many fond memories in my life. I can recall buying his album when I was just 8 years old. We would put the disc into the CD player and listen to it all day, trying to mimick his moonwalk and other dance moves. I recall being at my cousin’s place, watching on VCR, his music videos with Bugs Bunny, dancing and singing along. I remember my childhood friend love putting on a cap and pretend she’s Michael. I really loved ALL of the songs in his Dangerous album, and I used to be able to recite most of the lyrics.

During the whole child molestation scandal of MJ, I ignored it completely. Since it’s not definitive with evidential proof that he’s a child molestor. And I hope that people will remember him as being a great singer, dancer, entertainer.

Another friend just messaged me some jokes about Michael Jackson’s death. As much as I found it to be disrespectful and offensive to make jokes of MJ’s death… They’re actually pretty funny -_-

Some say he died from a heart attack. I guess his heart just couldn’t beat it.

They will melt his body into Xbox 360s so that children can play with him now instead.

heh.

It was love at first sight when I first saw this phone - the LG Crystal GD900. The Crystal’s see-through keypad is so awesome! The keypad not only functions as a normal keypad, it is also touch-screen. Meaning, the screen of the GD900 is touch-screen, and the crystal portion also works as a touchpad and can be used as a mouse to navigate! Another added feature of the Crystal is its Gesture Shortcut ability, by drawing pre-determined symbols on the touchpad, it will load the shortcut function that is assigned to the symbol you chose. Although, I’m such a klutz, I’m sure I’ll manage to somehow break it.

The model’s hot~

Thanks Sab for helping me take this picture! She’s using the LG Smartphone GM730 to capture this shot

You can read more about my first thoughts about the LG GM730 Smartphone here

This is the LG Smartphone GM730. LG have many promising plans and strategies with the launch of LG’s very own Smartphone. Following the footsteps of their competitors, LG designed a Smartphone for users that wants more customizability and usability of their phones. The difference is that LG’s Smartphone aims to target users that are new to Smartphones with its intuitive user interface design. “You don’t have to outsmart your smartphone” approach. Another demographic that LG aims to reach are those that wants to use the Smartphone for more than just business.

LG will be launching their own LG store in Singapore and Australia after 14th July 2009. With it, thousands of applications will be made available, given the choice of free, free to try, and direct purchase. The bloggers will have the opportunity to download some apps before the 14th July!!! We’ll be ask to report bugs and give feedback on improving the store, what more, the best contributors get free credits to download apps!

After trying out the LG GM730, I felt there were many similarities between the LG smartphone and the iPhone. The interface is slightly different since the smartphone uses the S-cube interface and it also have a multi-tasking function that allows you to perform many functions at the same time. I guess I need to play around the phone more to experience the convenience of having a smartphone

Let me repeat for those of you whom haven’t been following my blog…. My Team Fortress 2 team won the tournament held in Kuala Lumpur just last weekend! The whole team consists of pro Malaysian boys, except for me, nub Singapore girl -_-~! They’ll be sponsored by e-Club Malaysia to come Singapore in July 2009 to pit against our local players for TF2 Open category WCG National Finals.

It was really an eye opener for me, since I haven’t played in any gaming tournament since I quit Counterstrike years ago. I got to meet the other Malaysian players, and they’re really nice and friendly people

team anomaly: msc, xel, shin, pure, priss, cazza, boom

After Final Fantasy concert, the next big gaming concert is here in Singapore - The Video Games Live Singapore 2009. VGL will be held in Singapore Indoor Stadium this Friday 19th June 2009 8pm. Tickets are available at Sistic.

Songs from classic and popular games will be featured…

Produced and performed live by world famous video game composers Tommy Tallarico and Jack Wall, with our very own remarkable NUS Symphony Orchestra & Choir, VGL features music from the most popular video games - Pong, Mario, Sonic, Halo, Warcraft, Zelda, Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy and more.

Being a geeky socialite gamer, I know at least 5 different groups of people going for the concert, too bad I don’t think I’ll be sitting near them though… The tickets are a little on the expensive side too, but for a two to three hour event, it’s quite worth while

I’ve been travelling so much that in the past 1.5months, I’ve barely been at home (Singapore) for more than a week. It’s refreshing to be visiting different countries and experiencing life overseas, meeting new people and visiting new places.
Of course, I still miss Singapore. I miss the food, my friends and family, the HOT sun O_O, my room, my comfort zone, and my computer! Seriously though, I don’t look forward to going home and playing games 24/7. I mean I love gaming, but sometimes it gets mind numbing staring at the LCD monitor the entire day. I’m glad it’s holidays now, and it’s going to be holiday for another one month plus of holidays lefttttttt.. to game.

The most memorable moment in my life for the past few months would be winning the Malaysian Team Fortress 2 tournamet, and helping my team get sponsored to come Singapore to play for WCG. It’s my first time winning in any gaming tournament and it was a mind blowing experience for me. Thanks to my Malaysian team for accepting a noob like me into the team, training me up, and letting me have such a great time pwning people. Pictures will be up soon <3

WCG Safra just ended this weekend, and it’s sad that I couldn’t attend and meet up with other Team Fortress 2 people The next WCG Championship will be held at Funan this coming weekend 12th to 14th June 2009 and these games will be featured:

PC

1. Warcraft 3: Frozen Throne
2. Starcraft: Broodwar
3. FIFA09
4. DOTA Allstars
5. Left 4 Dead (Open Category)
6. Blackshot (Open Category)

XBOX 360

1. Virtua Fighter 5
2. Guitar Hero World Tour

And WCG National Finals is only a month away! Will there be enough time for Priss the noob medic to train up? :O

As for Malaysia’s Team Fortress 2 community, there will be a tournament held this weekend… and e-Club will be sponsoring the winning team to Singapore to to play for WCG finals! So cool right!

Gambatte minna!
