You must be asking, what is a digital clutch anyway?

Well, it’s actually a laptop which size as small as a clutch. But you might be saying, “Hey, there are plenty of laptops that are as small as you can get. So what so special about this one?”

If you’re looking for a laptop under the following category, you would definitely want to check this particular one out!

1. Looking for a laptop.
2. It got to be a small one, really small!. Something which you can carry around. It would be nice if it’s as small as your clutch.
3. Got to be ultra thin, lightweight.
3. Got to be stylish! Got to be fabulous!! Got to stand out from the rest!!!
4. Got to have some colours on it.
5. You don’t want something that is plain. Plain is boring. It got to have some design on it.

Introducing the world’s first designer Mini HP - the HP Mini 1000 Vivienne Tam Edition. It is a must have accessory for this season for fashionistas around the globe!

It is simply fabulous, don’t you agree? Those computer manufactures should collaborate with more designers to product more stylish laptop like this one. Of course you probably have already seem some designers’ name on gadgets such as hand phone already. Let’s hope there would be more designers for computers! I want to see John Galliano or Alexander McQueen!

Anyway, when I first saw this laptop, I fell in love with it instantly. I bought my 15.4” laptop at RM2500+ (last year), while is this stylish HP Mini 1000 Vivienne Tam Edition has a 10.1” LCD and is selling at starting price of RM1699! Man! I would have gotten this one instead of my current one.

See, mine also got flower on it. And I thought mine was pretty. But nothing beats the HP Mini Vivinne Tam Edition. Now, who wanna buy my second hand laptop? Anyone?

This HP Mini Vivienne Tam Edition would made a lovely gift during Valentine’s Day for your girlfriends, for those who could effort. It is as good as getting designers’ handbags but even better! It’s a laptop which your girlfriends can surf the net, do some work and enjoy some entertainment while the guys hang out to watch their football matches. Haha…

When I first heard the word of ShopWiki, the first thing that came into my mind was Wikipedia. So what does “wiki” means?

Wiki is a page or collection of Web pages designed to enable anyone who accesses it to contribute or modify content, using a simplified markup language.

ShopWiki is a revolutionized online shop. Somewhat similar to Wikipedia. Anyone can edit, update or create new content on any wiki.

At ShopWiki, you will also be able to find all the available products on the Internet and information on shopping guide as well as where to find the best deal around! You must be wondering, how does ShopWiki work anyway? ShopWiki has a Web-crawling technology like Google crawl, combining with an ultimate shopping search engine with wiki shopping guides. For those who owns an online boutique or shop, this is something you got to CHECK OUT! Because you would definitely want to be listed in their search results. The more search you have, the more buyers you will get, and the more income you will earn. Ahhhh… I can see dollor $$$ signs in your eyes already. And the best part is, ShopWiki DO NOT CHARGE you for shop placement. Not bad, righ?

Back in my college years, when I was looking for laptop, there wasn’t any useful guides on buying a laptop computer around. And your friends would most probably tell you to get the highest end laptop because you can never go wrong with that but not all the features are fully ultilised if you’re just using for normal work. Yes, I know being an IT student, I should at least know what to look for when getting a laptop computer. Well, I guess I’m not those people. In fact, I’m noob when it comes to hardware. LOL! Anyway, ShopWiki’s shopping guide provides you lots of useful information from their recommended top pick, guide on how to get the best, types, pros and cons, and even features to consider! That’s right! That’s more than enough information to ask for.

Oh yeah, Valentine’s is around the corner. Maybe you should check out their Seasonal Guide on Valentine’s Day. For all the men out there who have yet to do shop for your ladies or perhaps this may be your first Valentine’s Day and you haven’t got a single clue on gifts, you would definitely want to check out some Valentine’s Day Gifts for Women over at ShopWiki.

Happy Shopping!

James Bond… Quantum of Solace… Daniel Craig… Olga Kurylenko…

I’m sure everyone has seen banners, posters and even billboards advertisement on Quantum of Solace. I’m reeeeeeeeeeeeeeally looking forward to the screening. I’ve seen the trailers & video clips of the movie at yahoo. And I can assure you this is one movie not to missed!

Nuffnang is giving away 25 pairs of tickets to the screening Quantum of the Solace by GoMobile. For more details, click on the image below to visit Nuffnang’s website for more information.

Here’s the synopsis of the movie:-

Betrayed by Vesper, the woman he loved, 007 fights the urge to make his latest mission personal. Pursuing his determination to uncover the truth, Bond and M interrogate Mr. White who reveals the organization which blackmailed Vesper is far more complex and dangerous than anyone had imagined.Forensic intelligence links an Mi6 traitor to a bank account in Haiti where a case of mistaken identity introduces Bond to the beautiful but feisty Camille, a woman who has her own vendetta. Camille leads Bond straight to Dominic Greene, a ruthless business man and major force within the mysterious organization.

On a mission that leads him to Austria, Italy and South America, Bond discovers that Greene, conspiring to take total control of one of the world’s most important natural resources, is forging a deal with the exiled General Medrano. Using his associates in the organization, and manipulating his powerful contacts within the CIA and the British government, Greene promises to overthrow the existing regime in a Latin American country, giving the General control of the country in exchange for a seemingly barren piece of land.

In a minefield of treachery, murder and deceit, Bond allies with old friends in a battle to uncover the truth. As he gets closer to finding the man responsible for the betrayal of Vesper, 007 must keep one step ahead of the CIA, the terrorists and even M, to unravel Greene’s sinister plan and stop his organization.

Disney Pixar’s WALL-E is this year most anticipating animation.

What if mankind had to leave Earth, and somebody forgot to turn the last robot off?

Academy Award®-winning writer-director Andrew Stanton (Finding Nemo) and the inventive storytellers and technical geniuses at Pixar Animation Studios (The Incredibles, Cars, Ratatouille) transport moviegoers to a galaxy not so very far away for a new computer-animated cosmic comedy about a determined robot named WALL-E.

After hundreds of lonely years of doing what he was built for, WALL-E (short for Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class) discovers a new purpose in life (besides collecting knick-knacks) when he meets a sleek search robot named EVE. EVE comes to realize that WALL-E has inadvertently stumbled upon the key to the planet’s future, and races back to space to report her findings to the humans (who have been eagerly awaiting word that it is safe to return home). Meanwhile, WALL-E chases EVE across the galaxy and sets into motion one of the most exciting and imaginative comedy adventures ever brought to the big screen.

Joining WALL-E on his fantastic journey across a universe of never-before-imagined visions of the future, is a hilarious cast of characters including a pet cockroach, and a heroic team of malfunctioning misfit robots.

Filled with surprises, action, humor and heart, WALL-E was written and directed by Andrew Stanton, produced by Jim Morris, co-produced by Lindsey Collins and features original and innovative sound design by Academy Award®-winner Ben Burtt (Star Wars, the Indiana Jones series, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial).

So there you have it, folks. WALL-E opens June 27, 2008 amid some pretty fierce expectations. Can WALL-E halt the Pixar profit slide? Or will it be yet another brilliant movie that receives its due well after its theatrical release? And did Disney really drop the ball with Ratatouille?

If you enjoyed Finding Nemo and Ratatouille, you would definitely love WALL-E. He may have this cute little facial expression all the time but deep inside, he’s a robot who has feelings. In the movie, there’s a little love story in it between 2 robots. Don’t miss it!

Advertlets is giving away movie passes for FREE! For more info, please check out their website.

Short note: Apologise for not blogging for quite awhile. I’ve been busy. More post coming up soon.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………..

About two (2) months ago, on a Saturday morning, I was woken up by a rather pleasant surprised. My talent agent who first got me into TVC called me and told me that one of their talents dropped out and needed a replacement. I was rather reluctant to take the job because I have my usual classes on Saturday and for normal TVC jobs, talents are required to stand by for over twelve (12) hours.

The job that he offered was an extra. The job of an extra is pretty simple. You just need to some walking and a lot of waiting. Haha! Well, that wasn’t the whole point. The point is, when I asked how much he’s offering for that role, the price was SO RIGHT, I immediately took up the offer. The offer was in fact 3 times more than my usual job.

The TVC was for a local beauty product called “House of Healin”. I wonder where did the “g” go. For the first time, the ad only features female talents that I’ve work in. Kind of interesting having to meet some pretty girls and one of them is Miss Hypertune 2008. She’s gorgeous, alright.

The shoot took place at Carrefour Ampang which is just ten (10) minutes drive from my house. Not too bad, huh? Also, this is of the very few TVC where the make-up artists do the make-up for the extra. Usually it’s just the main cast.

My friend, Alex, told me about this ad quite some time ago but I didn’t have the time to post this up. This ad was shoot somewhere in February.

In this ad, I had 8 seconds of fame. Haha… Not too bad for an extra. But of course, I was blurred out.

Jiun Jie and Boey can also be seen in the ad.

Did you read it correctly or is your mind is playing a trick on you?

Perth? From RM99? You kidding, right?

Nope. Now read again.

Yup! You got it right. Air Asia X is flying to Perth from RM99. Don’t believe, check out Air Asia’s website.

If those words are enough to get your attention. I would think Air Asia did a wonderful job on their advertising strategy. Man! Why didn’t I thought of that. Come, let’s see what MAS gonna do to keep the game going since they themselves also have introduced low cost flights like Air Asia.
