on Nov 25th, 2008Phillips’ Bloggers Night Out!! [Pictures]
Philips‘ blogger’s exclusive event was one event that other PR agencies in Singapore should aim to achieve if they intend to break through into the New Media scene.
The Ride
Have you ever sat in a Limousine before? Well I’m proud to say that I have! Philips ordered a Limousine to pick us up and dropped us off at the event at Scarlet Hotel. I must say they really didn’t hold back on pampering us bloggers!

The Location
I’ve heard about boutique hotels, but I haven’t actually been into one. When I first heard about Scarlet Hotel, it naturally reminded me of the LG’s Scarlet event I was invited to a couple of months ago. The decor was superb and posh, a small but cozy little gem situated behind Chinatown. Rooms were comfortable and the food served really did tingled my tongue.
The People
Besides getting to interact with other bloggers like IZ, Fidelis, Nadnud that I’m already quite familiar with, I also got acquainted with Andystorm and the dudes from Tech65. L’Oréal was also invited to mingle with us and give us extra beauty tips! I didn’t push for getting my hair done cause my hair’s already so damn short 
But Sab and a few others got their hair temporarily permed up like barbie. I wanna be barbie too!
We also got to mingle with the people from L’Oréal and Philips, sharing their views about blogging and new media. They were very sincere in listening to our feedbacks and opinions on blogging and hosting blogging events. For the first time, I really felt like bloggers were treated with the same respect as journalists!
The Programme
The night started with a presentation of Philip’s latest technology in television, with sharper images and a cool back panel behind the TV monitor that displays coloured light to provide a better viewing experience
Immerse yourself in a captivating Ambilight experience. Featuring Perfect Pixel HD Engine, this TV combines Perfect Motion Sharpness, 2250 trillion Colours and Perfect Contrast with Ambilight Spectra 2 — lighting up your viewing experience
We were also presented with a blind test for Philips MP3 player inside the Limousine. The blind test experience was quite cool cause of the unique setting. Random people were waving at us inside the Limousine and they probably thought we were some rich and important VIPs inside the Limousine! A photographer from Livestudio was also inside the Limousine with us capturing the moment.
This picture was not taken by the photographer, but by Vanessa 
I borrowed her camera for the night because I still haven’t gotten a new camera yet

Next we had the good people from L’Oréal Singapore demonstrate some of their newest hair curling tools. As I mentioned previously, I didn’t get my hair permed because I’ve got really short hair now. Although, after the entire event was over, I did try to D.I.Y. with the curler. Bad idea to try curling your short fringe, it ended up curling in all directions!!! No pictures for that

I love this picture! Esther looks like a barbie!
We were also given a presentation on Philip’s latest in-ear headphones SHE9850 that costs $179 in retail stores at the moment. The sound quality is really good! Included were interchangable ear pieces from small to large to ensure it’s a comfortable fit even for dumbo (the elephant?) haha… But I’ll still be sticking to my Sennheiser for now, sorry Philips! Philips did however gave us a MP3 player in the goodie bag!!! Also, I received another Philips GoGear LUXE MP3 player to review! So generous of them to pamper us like that!
Andystorm won this sleek and cool headphones for lucky draw!! And the crowd was booing…. because we all wanted it for ourselves!! haha
I’m smiling in this picture just to be polite. We’re all thinking in our heads “WHY NOT ME!!! “
Nice pictures thanks to WIlly Foo and his team of photographers from Livestudio.sg
Overall, I give Philips full marks for their generosity, their sincereity, their efforts in pampering us and making us live like Kings and Queens for one night! Special thanks to Gavin Foo and his team from XPR PR agency and of course my dearest BFF Sab for extending the invitation to me!
