Louis Vuitton: Art, Fashion & Architecture

PS3 Slim

Slimmer PS3 with matt finish and it will cost around 300 Euros for its 120GB HDD model. Is it time to ditch my Wii away? Well, they are different animals. This is a must-have gadget of the year, for gamers.

Nikon D5000

Bought a new dSLR and started experimenting with it already. Bought a Nikon because I like the photo quality produced by the camera and the HD movie capability in this camera blew me away, love it! So sharp and can manually blurring the video (either the background, foreground or both) while recording. The tilt and swivel LCD screen adds some fun to it. And like other Nikon dSLRs, I just love the grip of this camera and its compact body is makes easy to carry around. To balance out my review, the LCD screen is not sharp enough and the viewfinder is not big enough. But still I'm giving it 5/5 stars, Stuff magazine gives it a similar rating.

Home

Home is a movie about the earth, just like Baraka. You can watch the full movie here.

O2 Joggler

iPhone 3G S

iPhone has now have the basic functions like the other phones such as a video function, MMS, bluetooth, Tom Tom GPS and voice recorder. It would be great if it also comes with a multi-function like on the Palm Pre.

The Latest Macbook Pro

I didn't know that the new Macbook Pro is coming when I bought my Macbook Pro 3 weeks prior to the release. Not much difference in the look department, but it has a higher specifications. I would have waited and bought the 13-inches instead if I knew that the new Macbook Pro is coming. Well I guess I was too busy to keep up with the latest gizmos.

Rihanna for Gucci

London

Craig and I in London. London was great, coming back for the third time next week, with my parents this time.

Perfume Arts

They are all nice perfumes. All have different smells, Dior Homme has floral smell whilst Prada Amber Homme has the soapy smell and Dolce & Gabbana smells woody.

Was playing with the Macbook and Macbook Pro at Apple store in London and thought that it looks great and I like it's new glossy screen and clickable touchpad.

John Kenney for Vilain Garcon

Jennifer Chung

First heard about her on YouTube, thought her voice was fresh and she did the cover of "Take a Bow" by Rihanna and "New Soul" by Yael Naim beautifully. My favourite song of her new album is "Common, Simple, Beautiful", the title says it all.

Prada Spring/Summer 2009

"MILAN, Italy -- Miuccia Prada is often a step ahead of the pack, so it was no wonder that her latest collection had little to do with what has been going on the Milan runway: easy dressing in light and airy styles. Her collection shown Tuesday was indeed light, she's into flesh-baring these days but certainly not easy to wear or walk in. Several models tottered and fell on the fish-decorated runway, as they slipped out of their ultrahigh-heeled platform sandals strapped at the ankle. Many finished their catwalk shoes in hand. The latest Prada collection is divided into categories from bra tops to dresses in python and fish prints, to variations of the old-fashioned night gown, to gilded evening wear. To underline the potpourri feel, all the models walked up and down the runway at the same time, creating the effect of a fashion kaleidoscope. Prada topped a long list of shows on the second day of the Milan fashion week that runs through Friday, including Jil Sander, Bottega Veneta, and Moschino." The Washington Post.

Prada Ad Campaigns (Fall/Winter 2008-9)

Armani Night Effect

Armani Night Effect is the second mobile phone from Samsung and Armani collaboration. I'm not sure if this second version of Samsung Armani is a respond to LG Prada II that will be released before Christmas but I don't think Armani Night Effect will rival the LG Prada II. It is not a touchscreen phone for one, and the LG Prada II is a 3G phone with Wi-Fi and 5MP camera. The LG Prada II has a slider keyboard that I think will be big in 2009, a touchscreen phone is nice but an added slider keyboard is much better, it's like having a bigger screen, well it makes the screen bigger actually because it does not use space on the screen.

Windows 7

Windows 7 is the next major version of Microsoft Windows as the successor to Windows Vista and it is expected to be released in January 2010. It will look exactly like Vista with a few minor changes and it's touchable capability. Welcome to the world of touchscreen!

Google's Android

HTC Dream using Google's Android operating system will be released this tuesday in the United States.

Surf's Up

Our picture as free surfers, didn't go for lessons after 4 basic lessons that we had before during our previous trips because we were quite confident that we can do it and we were right, we need more practices than lessons. And going on our own is so much fun, we don't feel like someone is watching us all the time and we got more space to surf.

Louis Vuitton Soundwalk

Aphrodisiacs

Oysters and Malaysian foods, I made those satays, looks good huh? But the taste is so-so but it took me for ages to make them.

My Favourite Free Games on iPhone/iTouch

1) Morocco (great time-waster)
2) Hanoi (very challenging)
3) Cube Runner (addictive)
4) Sudoku Free (well, who doesn't love sudoku?!)
5) iPint (something to show off)
6) Dizzy Bee Free (great animation and cute)
7) Jirbo Arcade (2 memory games in 1 game application)
8) Labyrinth Lite (looks and feels real)
9) Spinner Free (very interactive)
10) Brain Tuner (sharpen you math skills)

Teddy Bear by Karl Lagerfeld

Karl Lagerfeld has created a limited edition teddy bear that is a version of himself. 2500 pieces of this couture teddy bear will be sold for $1500.

YSL Touche Eclat for Men

Following Jean Paul Gaultier, Yves Saint Laurent is now launching it's cosmetic line for men. Will there be one from Prada? Unlikely, Prada is not French you see but then who knows, Prada is full of surprises.

Fallen Shadows by Prada

This is not for everyone's taste but I like it. I thought it was beautiful, a little bit weird at the end but one would expect that from Prada. Fashion is an art, only those who understand will appreciate.

The Funnest iPod Ever

Not much improvement for the iPod Touch except for the volume rocker and the speaker which I thought is great. A GPS in the new iPod Touch would be a plus so that it can be used as satellite navigator as well. I was hoping in the future iPod Touch would be transformed into a personal digital assistant (PDA) with it's ability to multi-task and with hard-drive memory, and probably they would rename it iNewton or something to revive Apple's previous PDA, Apple Newton.

LG Prada II

PSP 3000

The new PSP has been announced and will be available in Europe on the 15th of October. It will look exactly like the PSP Slim & Lite, with an improved screen and a built-in microphone.
