HTC launches Touch Diamond

HTC launches its new Touch Diamond phone. I have the chance to test the phone and try out the function of this beautiful, sophisticated, slim and elegance PDA phone. I would say most female would love this phone, I'm the first ;)

Featuring a sharp 2.8 inch touch screen, the display allows user to enjoy viewing high quality photographs and browsing the web. With its new vibrant 3D touch interface called TouchFLO 3D, the HTC Touch Diamond provides animated access to people, messaging, email, photos, music, weather and etc.

It also offers a rich online experience which we might treat it better than a notebook computer, allowing user to zoom and pan websites with one hand and automatically view optimized content that has been specially created to fit the display. One cool thing I like about the phone is it will automatically rotates the web page view/photo from a portrait to landscape view when you turn the device sideways.

In addition to that, the user can also watch youtube with this HTC Touch Diamond and the integrated ultra-sensitive GPS will efficiently find a destination.

Pretty awesome that HTC Touch Diamond comes with a massive 4GB of internal storage! The user can keep tons of songs, photos, files and any collection fit his/her style.

HTC Touch Diamond is expecting in the market by early June with the retail price of RM2,799.

Bvlgari Opening @ Pavillion KL

Went to Bvlgari launch yesterday, was invited as media by my cousin who recently joined the company. The event served drink-all-you-can sparkling champagne and some fine mousse dessert. The opening was performed by soloist, followed by 6 models posing and showcasing luxurious jewelry worn on them. The jewelry worn by the model costs more than 100k each. Not that I can afford ;( I am not your target audience YET,sorry. It happened that there was this middle age woman approached one of the models and asked if she can show to her husband. As requested, the model posed and showed in front of the woman’s husband. And the conversation started.


“Cantik kan, bang?” (nice or not, hubby?) the woman said to her husband who is busy with his blackberry.
“Cantik…, berapa harga nya?” (nice, how much is it?) the model told the price to the guy 1xxK(hundred xx thousand).
“you suka ambil sajalah” (just take it if you like lah), the guy said to his wife.


……….. speechless………..

Such a well-off man. I’m sure they're in the Bvlgari's VIP customer list. What a lucky wife! When will be my turn? aha aha...

It was an awesome weekend. First of all, I was handed by my colleague for the VIP ticket for Xlive Music Festival held in Genting with free flow of Chivas plus accommodation provided. Sounds good yea ;) For people who don't know what XLive is, XLive Festival is the first outdoor music festival to be held in Genting since 2005 and will also be the first time that a music festival is being held at the Genting Outdoor Theme Park. The festival will be divided into 3 arenas namely the XLIVE MAIN STAGE, XL-TRONIC & XLR8.

Each arena will feature a multitude of quality international, regional and local acts which includes Missy Elliot, DJ Yoji, Dan The Automator, Filo & Peri, Marcus Schossow, Stylustiks, and Goodnight Electric and more.

Missy Elliott's performance was awesome! All of us were jumping up and down and screaming all the way~! coolio~


This is the beginning where she finally came out since we waited for more than an hour!


This is the second part where she'd changed her clothing.
