The $2.5 Million iPhone

2 Mar

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?

Eco-friendly And Cheaper Games

2 Jan

As a moderate PC gamer, I don’t buy PC games often mainly due to the prices that usually turn me off. However, I just found out that many games can be bought from SteamPowered at a price much lower compared to those at the stores. For example, my cousin bought Football Manager 2009 at S$61 while I got mine at US$27 which convert to around S$39. A total savings of S$22!

With everyone suddenly changing their minds on global warming, buying games online seems to be a much better move. The consumer saves the space needed to keep the boxes and also the material cost that comes with manufacturing the package. That’s killing two birds with one stone, I would say. For those who are interested in buying PC Games, SteamPowered seems to be a good alternative and you can even buy a game as a gift to someone else.

The main downside is that you will need to download and install the Steam client in order to download the game. It is a bit of a hassle but since my desktop is switched on 24/7, it don’t bother me.

A Disgusting Encounter

10 Dec

Usually a typical train ride during a weekday morning rush hour is filled with inconsiderate acts of pregnant ladies having to stand while people with less burden snoring or reading newspapers in their seats. However, I managed to see something rather extreme just this morning while in transit. An old man actually spit on the train floor and tried to clean it up using his slippers. YUCKS!

Here’s a lesson to everyone. No matter what, please do not spit even when you are outdoors!

Mario Honda

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



Levi’s Trade-in Offer

4 Dec

The latest trade-in offer accept any old jeans in exchange for a $50 discount off regular-priced Levi’s jeans that are $100 and above. I am not too sure when the offer will end since the poster listed ‘While Stock Lasts’. It looks like a good opportunity for me to trade in my old jeans for some Levi’s for the coming Christmas and Chinese New Year!
