For those lengluis who already have the wii.. fret not... Go get the gayest coolest game ever on the wii -- muscle march -- and it'll be worth all the envy you'll have for kinect... hohoho...

I've been following project Natal for quite some time now..

Air Humidifier - Nice conditioned skin when you wake

Why wake up with dry skin and dry throat?

I've always wanted to blog about humidifiers. Not because they look cute or they make me any prettier... But... I think if you live in a place with dry air (perhaps from the winter), or somewhere hot like Malaysia and you use the air condition... You've definitely experienced that peeling lips, dry skin, dry throat syndrome. So here goes... the air humidifier!

If you're from Korea or have watched sad-OF-THE-saddest Korean dramas with hospital scenes of people waiting ermm -hiks-, you will notice... next to each hospital bed is a cute penguin humidifier. That's the one I'm having at home now! Muahahahahaaa... And again, no. I did not buy this. My dad was convinced by some friend that this would help him breathe better while sleeping... so he doesn't have to wake up with dry throat. Geez... now I know where I got my easily-convinced-shopper syndrome from...

Ah! In case you still don't quite get what I'm rambling about: Air humidifiers are household appliances that increases the humidity (moisture) of the air in a room.

So for the verdict:

• Ever woken up with peeling lips and skin that feels oh-so-dry even after you've loaded gunk of moisturiser on the night before? Or perhaps feeling that you might get a soar-dry throat anytime soon with the condition of the air in your room? So yeah... If you've got very bad sinus too... I think this helps... a lot!
• Try putting on some body lotion, and turn on the humidifier before you go to sleep in that really dry-air room. Wake up next morning... and voila! Soft moisturised skin... Cooolnessssss!!
• Moisturised lips in the morning? Check!
  
• Okay... so not all's good with humidifiers. Check out the wiki page and you'll see.. humidifiers allow reproduction of dust mites, bacterias and molds. Eeeewww... After all, these pesky living stuff prefers moisturised condition. So you might want to look out for a humidifier with Microban technology and purifier all in one to reduce the bad stuff.
  

Talkman - I've got a travel companion who's a linguist

**patience** I'll be getting to this

Pink Sony PSP

A Girl's Gotta Have....

It takes about 1hr++ and 2 modes of transportation for me to get to work... To sum it in 5 words --> I hate traveling to work..

I drive for 10 to 30 mins (depending on the traffic's mood for the day) to the LRT station to take the train to town. Then stare into space for about 30mins in the train before it drops me off at my destination. Yeah... I'm not the only one having to go through this every workday...

And 2 years ago... I decided. Thats it. No more staring into space for a whole 30mins to and fro from work. And lo behold............


The Pink PSP - In case you didn't know... that acronym stands for Playstation Portable. See? I even got a bag-case to match (a gift from Lengcai)... And... the mini case which looks like a compact powder casing? Thats where I store all my memory cards....

See the nice heart charm? hehehe... thats an attempt at personalising my PSP....


And the memory card case.... (which is actually a limited edition compact powder casing from Ettusais) which doubles up as a portable mini mirror..

Now for all of you who thinks the PSP is merely a gamer's gadget... You ARE INDEED SOOOO VERY WRONG my friend... See below for the daily tasks of my PSP...

• Personal Stylist (MyStylist)
  
• Show Korean/TVB/English Drama Series
• Movie Player
  
• MP3 Player
• YouTube Flash Player
• Photo Journal (MyStylist)
  
• Clothes Organiser (MyStylist)
  
• A Linguist Travel Companion (Talkman)
• WiFi Gaming
• VideoCam

And... the list goes on... This is sorta like my "Blackberry"... except that.. its not as "hi-tech" and... I'm no yuppie...

So... the days of starring into space in the LRT is no more... Muahahahahhaa.... PSP, you're my next best friend... after Google of course.. (cos' thats how you came about... when I Googled you up!)

MyStylist - I have a personal stylist - thats not human (lol)

Hire a Personal Stylist... on the PSP

I have a clothes color-clashing syndrome. Mum or boss at work would then start commenting that I look kinda "ah lian" or even worse... "harajuku". Jeez.... I wanna look lenglui okay? Not like "ah lian" or like some "harajuku girl". And while Googling for some PSP girly-games, I found this... MyStylist by Sony. Whoaaaaaaaaaaaa........ its a personal stylist, clothes organiser, appointment organiser, photo journal all in one! Purrrrr-fect!!!!




So... I have my clothes in some organised colour, type, occasion-manner. Heck, there's even a statistical graph-chart to show me how many of a blue-coloured skirt I've got in my wardrobe! Talk about cooooool-ness!!!! See the screenshot below... these are part of my wardrobe!


And these are arranged for the days I'll be wearing them. No more cracking my head trying to decide what to wear every morning... Also... the clothes and accesorries matched by MyStylist has got no colour clashing flaws. And... it won't let you wear the same clothes to meet the same person in that same week! Wooooooooooo........ talk about being organised...


See..... It even has a photo journal... where you can set a date/appointment with any of your friends. And... when you've decided on what to wear, MyStylist will simulate a cartooned pic of a girl wearing the clothes you chose... Cool-ness huh??


Guess what?! On the second day I followed MyStylist's suggestion on what to wear to work, a colleague commented to another... "Hey... doesn't xxxxx looks sharp these days?"... LoL.... Who says you've gotta be a Hollywood Star to have a stylist... kekekekekeke....

Olympus Mju 725 - Waterproof, shockproof, and girl-proof hahahhaha...

The Camera That Won't Drown

My first digital camera drowned - in the sea. Though I managed to retrieve it from the water, my itchy hand that turned on the camera while it was still drenched in saltwater short-circuited it. I was heartbroken...

Below is the pic of my current digital camera... The tougher than ever Olympus Mju 725!

No, this camera will not drown. It is to some extent shockproof and waterproof.. Before getting this, I was trying to decide between this and the Pink Sony T-10. (see below... pink to match my PSP ma...)

The Hot Sony Pink T-10

But, Lengcai got me the Mju 725 as a x'mas gift last year... So... we can now stop thinking about pink cameras. Now you're probably wondering... what's with women and the color of a camera?! Aren't the features in the camera more important? LOL... Well yeah.. that too and the outlook of the camera.

A Good Review on the Olympus Mju 725

The Mju-725 is slim, easy to pocket in the handbag, and... it can withstand butterfingers! Also... I love watersports... Surfing, water rafting, swimming, waterfalls, snorkeling, jet-skiing... So yeah... anything with water... and so, the camera has got to be drown-proof! I know that Olympus came up with way better versions of the Mju-725... Women... if you've got butterfingers, love the outdoors, and haven't got time to worry that your camera will drown in mud, snow, sand or saltwater... I'd hugely recommend you to look at the Olympus shockproof and waterproof compact camera range! You'd be surprise how many ground-falls it can take and how many underwater pics you can capture!

Conclusion:

• Been my baby since!
• It has gone snorkeling with me like for the whole year and still... working just fine
• It has weathered through my betterfingers
• Not exactly a camera for nightshots unless you have a tripod
• Not as pretty as the pink T-10, but.... imagine... if the T-10 drowned... uh-huh.... I wouldn't want to imagine that... lol..
  
• The screen display is nowhere close to the ones on a Sony or a Lumix.. but.. heck... its good enough for me
• Picture quality not as pretty as a Cannon... but yeah? Can a Cannon survive a 1m fall?
