The $2.5 Million iPhone

Bedazzled iPhone

Despite the ongoing recession and people’s investment portfolios at next to worthless, Austrian jeweller Peter Aloisson decided to create the most expensive iPhone 3G, the “Kings Button”. I am pretty sure this iPhone is the only iPhone with that much bling-bling on it. The price tag? A freaking $2.5 million (S$3.875 million)!

The home button is bedazzled with a 6.6 carat diamond and the case is remade out of solid 18-carat yellow, white and rose gold. What’s more? The jeweller finished off with a case outline of a white gold line encrusted with 138 diamonds “of the best quality”. Are you even tempted?

This entry should be pretty popular with lovers of the colour pink or Nintendo Mario fans. This pink Honda is a local car too!

Eyelash Extension

Filed under: Interesting,Muses,Reviews — Cyrene Teng at 11:10 pm on Monday, September 15, 2008

Four months ago, I discovered a miracle.

For those of you with long and thick eyelashes, you will never understand :P Folks like me with thin, short and sparse eyelashes (with single eyelids somemore) are weary of times when we see ourselves in photographs or reflections. I am the kind where no matter how much curling and mascara I use, I will never ever make my eyelash appear longer (Angel Eyes fibre mascara kit helped alot, but still nowhere near eyelash extensions. More of that in a later post).

We had always looked so sleepy, as though we are a relative of Garfield’s.

A visit to Angel Xing Beauty (located in City Plaza #02-36, which is at 810 Geylang Road, near Lion City Hotel. Nearest MRT is Paya Lebar MRT) solved this problem for me! Look at the difference! And, no more curling of lashes and wallops of mascara!

Here are some close-ups:

Initially, my first pair (lasts from about 2-4 weeks) was thicker but I have switched to a more natural look.

Each pair costs S$50 and basically it should last you one month. But for me, the lashes last me about three weeks. Based on my own experiences, the lashes would be the prettiest during the first week. After which, ‘they will ‘break’ (the lashes will not line the edge of your eyelids in a straight line) in about 2 areas along the lash line. The glue will also start to turn colour. By the third week, the glue should have changed from a clear appearance to a whitish colour because of constant contact with water (washing of face) and make-up (you need to use cotton buds to clean the area near your lash lines). By this time, you can probably see the glue obviously (some lashes may even come off because the glue is not sticky) but when viewed 30cm away, the glue is not obvious. By this time, I would try to tug off the lashes by myself, but trust me, leave it to the ladies at Angel Xin. On a recent visit there, the lady boss (Xin Xin) showed me just how much damage I had done by tugging off the fake lashes. For those one or two stray lashes, it’s alright to try to tug them out, but try not to. Leave it to the experts. They use a dissolvent to dissolve the glue and remove the lashes painlessly.

For more enquiries, you may wish to call Angel Xin at 6747 0205 or 9877 3886 and look for the lady boss Xin Xin. Or you can look for the girl who helped me with my extensions from the beginning till now (except the recent visit, where she was on morning shift), Min Min. I have already signed up for their package of 6 sessions for the price of 5, with a free touch-up (usual price: $10 onwards, depending on condition.) During all my visits there, there were always people doing their eyelashes and hair. I am so tempted to do the hair extensions. I got a quote from them that I would need to pay about S$150 for hair extensions. Anybody want to sponsor me?

Macbook Touch Coming?

Filed under: Interesting,Internet,Technology — Francis Sim at 11:46 am on Wednesday, July 30, 2008

With Apple going to release the usual upgrades for their products this coming September, there are many rumours that the new Macbook will not be only an upgrade in specifications. Rather, it will be an overhaul with the introduction of a glass trackpad and other design changes. It is said that the new Macbook will be made out of one piece of aluminum and thinner than the current Macbook and Macbook Pro series. Most websites place the release date during the last week of September. Here’s a video but I doubt Macbook Touch is coming this soon. It will be too much of an overhaul but it’s Apple. If they managed to pull it off, I can see more people jumping onto the Mac wagon with Vista not performing that well.
