Love Is In The Air Luffs has been working really hard the past few months so I told him I would plan for this year's anniversary dinner. Hmm... Not a very creative surprise but I think Luffs was alittle taken aback that I have chosen sky dining because I am afraid of heights. In order not to miss the sunset, I finished up my work on time and made Luffs drive to The Jewel Box. He still had no clue where dinner was supposed to be at and assumed it was one of the restaurants on Mount Faber. -_- !!! Anyway, we took the valet parking and Luffs only realised we were going for sky dining when he saw this. We were greeted by a friendly waitress, passed her the reservation confirmation and were given our welcome drink before going into the cable car. Soup was served after we settled down before the cable car left Mount Faber. Menu There were 2 main courses to choose from during the reservation, so I picked both so that we can share. :) The main courses look pathetic because we had requested for them to change the mash potato to veggie. Homemade Chicken Confit Below is a beautiful photo of Resorts World Sentosa taken by Luffs while we were in the cable car. @ 12:00 AM

iPhone 4 Review The below review is taken from Digital One. Editor's ReviewThe Good: New design is thinner and looks sleeker and more professional. Improved camera and sharper, vibrant screen make this phone a significant upgrade. The Bad: Camera could have been better since 8- or even 12-megapixels are the industry standard for higher end smartphones of its class. The Bottom Line: An outstanding smartphone enhanced by a cutting-edge operating system and an excellent app library. By Jasmine Osada 17-08-2010 Apple's latest smartphone has launched here amid much anticipation from fans and concern about the device's apparent reception problems. We took the iPhone 4 for a spin and here's what we think :- Look & Feel The iPhone 4 is a gorgeous phone. While its overall look does not seem to stray far from the original candybar design, Apple has certainly made improvements to an existing formula that works, creating an even more visually impressive device. The design, at least on the outside, is also now essentially a steel band sandwiched by two panels of glass. Gone is the curved metal back cover found in previous generation iPhones - Apple had instead replaced this with a glossy, glass flat back panel. The edges of the iPhone 4 are also very angular, a stark difference from the curved design in the previous generation of devices. The final look is a much sleeker and slimmer iPhone. I'll be honest - I am not quite a fan of the earlier curved and rounded look that the previous iPhones sported because it looks a little too untailored. The sharp, angular look of the iPhone 4 presents a professional, classy look that its predecessors lack. The iPhone 4 is also a pretty hardy smartphone. Both glass panels are scratch-resistant, while the stainless steel band sandwiched between them is five times stronger than the industrial standard. Features & Functions Apple added plenty of upgrades and improvements to the iPhone 4 but one of the most outstanding improvements to the iPhone 4 is the new Retina display. Text displayed on the screen is much sharper, the screen brighter and colours are more vibrant. Applications, websites, photos and videos all look fantastic on this phone. The camera on the iPhone 4 also gets an upgrade - Pictures certainly look better through the 5-megapixel camera; and the LED flash is a practical, useful addition that perhaps came in a little late. While its camera pictures are good, I felt that Apple could have done better here by actually upping the camera to an 8- or 12-megapixel one, which seems to be the standard in higher-end smartphones of late. Another new addition to the iPhone 4 is its front-facing VGA camera, meant for use with its video conferencing application FaceTime. Mobile video calls on the go aren't exactly an exciting new concept, but it is a nice feature to finally see on the iPhone. However, those planning to use FaceTime might have a very limited group of people to talk to depending on who they plan to contact. This is due to the fact that FaceTime only works via Wi-fi, and only with a contact that is able to run the FaceTime program with you on his or her own iPhone 4. If you are planning to do video chats with your fellow Yuppie iPhone 4 owner friends, the FaceTime feature is a useful addition. But if you're thinking about calling your Android or BlackBerry-totting friend or someone on a PC, you're out of luck. Chances are though, that future third-party apps will address the demand for cross-platform video chats. Performance The iPhone 4's antenna and call-dropping issues are probably what potential iPhone 4 owners are most concerned about. As Apple gave us their official Bumper case with our review set, we tried making calls with the protective rubber band on and off the phone to see if there was a difference. The result - None of our calls were dropped, even if our reviewers held it "the wrong way" (holding the phone such that the antenna points are blocked by one's hand). That said though, our iPhone 4 did show a significant drop in the number of signal bars when the bottom corner of the phone was covered. But this did not seem to affect call quality or the transfer of 3G data as our reviewer was browsing the Web. Once the Bumper case goes on though, the problem disappears. Running on Apple's latest iOS 4 operating system, the iPhone 4 is lightning fast compared to its predecessors. Applications loaded quickly without lag and the phone was prompt in responding to commands. The iOS 4's multi-tasking feature was also put into good use here as the iPhone 4 is capable of handling more workload without slowing down. However, quite a number of applications, such as some chat programs will automatically log out once you've switched to another app. This is likely to change, however, once developers update their apps to take advantage of the new OS. Those who use their phones intensively throughout the day will be glad to know that the battery life for the iPhone 4 has improved. We managed to use the iPhone 4's voice, data and app functions for an entire workday and still got some juice left in the device. When subjected to more casual use, our review unit was able to last a good three days before requiring a battery charge. The Verdict The iPhone 4 is a visually stunning, powerful smartphone that is greatly enhanced by a cutting-edge operating system and supported by the largest app library in the market. With the additions of previously lacking essential functions such as video call capabilities and a much improved camera with flash, the iPhone 4 has pretty much everything you need. If you're looking for a smartphone for that comprises both functionality and design, then the iPhone 4 is your answer. Monday, August 16, 2010 @ 3:45 PM
Haato ♥ Received a pleasant surprise of milk ice-cream from Luffs! Haato is a brand of gelato manufactured in Singapore created from traditional recipes from Japan - It is one of the first gelato counters in Singapore to offer gelato that is free from artificial colouring and preservatives.

Nando's = Nothing Special The queue at Nando’s in Bugis Junction is testament to its popularity, but the long line can also be a turn off. So Luffs and I decided to head down to Nando's second outlet at Tanglin Mall but the queue wasn't short at all when we got there at slightly after 8 pm. Nando's (Bugis) Each table was given 4 different types of sauces - ketchup, garlic, hot and extra peri peri. I personally found nothing too unusual about them because they tasted pretty normal. That's all for the food. For drinks, we had their gourmet drinks - Sparkling Apple @ $3.90 and Madeira Red @ $3.90 - which tasted pretty good! This marked our first visit to Nando's but Luffs and I agreed that Nando's is really just about good marketing. Ambiance - 1/10 Service - 3/10 Food - 6/10 It is simply over-rated and over-priced! ** disappointed ** ---------------------------------------------------------- All the photos / pictures in this entry are taken off the Internet.

Still In A Mess! My house! It is still in a mess now but Kelvin and I can't wait to see our place done up. Thursday, August 12, 2010 @ 11:35 PM
Simple Human : Tool For Efficient Living Simple Human designs products for efficient living and everything looks so nice! I will drop by Home-Fix soon to see the range they carry in Singapore. I am sure they don't come cheap so probably just good for the eyes but bad for the pockets. Bathroom Adjustable Shower Caddy The adjustable shower caddy makes room for tall bottles and accommodates plumbing with its unique adjustable shelves. Simply flip the tabs and slide shelves either up and down or side to side. Bottles can be stored upside down for easier dispensing. The caddy's multiple compartments include a soap dish, toothbrush/razor holder, and two hooks. A rubberized clamp and pivoting suction cup ensure secure installation. Toilet Paper & Magazine Holder This all-in-one storage solution has a stainless steel base that holds two jumbo toilet paper rolls and an adjustable, chrome-plated rack that holds magazines and newspapers within easy reach. A quick release knob makes changing the roll quick and easy. Kitchen Sink Caddy This sink caddy keeps your sink area neat and everything you need within easy reach. Four suction cups and a wire ledge hanger provide a secure, non-slip grip to your sink. Removable plastic dividers store and organize sponges separately for faster drying. This stainless steel utensil holder comes with a detachable spoon rest is always in reach at the front of the holder! A shallow front compartment holds shorter tools, like can openers, so they won't get lost at the bottom of the holder. The two deep compartments neatly store tall items.

The Sleepy Lamp The Sleepy Lamp is a sleek lighting design from Studio Klass that has a stand with a ladder design. It not only acts as a lamp but the stand is also functional enough to hold other items like books, clothes etc. Would this look nice in our study room? Sunday, August 8, 2010 @ 11:07 PM

August Arrives! Not much updates for the second half of July because Luffs and I were both busy with the house renovation and wedding preparations. Oh man! These 2 big-ticket items really shouldn't be coming together (my perfect sequence would be to get the house first then the wedding) but I am sure they are totally worth the stress that we are going through now. Anyway, the long-awaited food tasting session was finally done and we were glad all went well. Hopefully the chefs will keep up to their standard on the actual day, yah? Luffs and I decided not to post any food photo here so that our guests wouldn't know what food to expect. So here's 2 photos to keep you entertained for now! Now we know why Maggie Jie is always misunderstood to be the younger sister. Haha! |
