va va voom

People loved the first Renault Va Va Voom ad so much, they made another!

Here's one:



And here's two:

spaceport

Holy cow! I never thought I’d live to see the day. Spaceport America, the world’s first spaceport will be opened in 2010.

This will serve as a departure point for the new ulta-high-net-worth individuals that fancy sipping some champagne from outer space.

I need to make me some money.

Free XBOX 360 Console

If you need to recontract your broadband internet, now's the time. StarHub's been giving away free Halo3 Special Edition XBOX360 consoles away with every new/recontracted internet subscription.

There were only 300 sets as of Saturday morning, so you might want to get on your toes.

Needless to say, I've already put my order in. *gloat*

ipod touch is the result of lazy bastards

Now that the media sandstorm that follows any apple product launch has settled, lets have a closer look at the ipod touch.

It looks like an iphone. It sounds like an iphone. But its not an iphone.

It’s actually quite sad. They’ve just stripped the ‘phone’ from iPhone and they’re selling this piece as new technology.

Expected more from you, Apple

facebook is one percent of the internet

That’s frikkin incredible. If you think about the boogabazillion web pages there are out there, one percent of a boogabazillion is well, a lot of pages.

PS: for the longest time, I thought the blue dude was Mark Zuckerberg.

ratatouille

This is so cool! Golden Village has put together the Ratatouille Dinner Affair.

Essentially, a team of gourmet chefs will be preparing the dishes featured on the movie, and you’d get to truly, Eat What You Watch.

The entire package is about S$120 per couple which is not bad considering you’re getting a gourmet dinner plus fantastic seats to this year’s best animated movie (yeah, it really was).

Bon Appétit!

hell hath no fury

I’m not sure if this falls into the category of adil’s cool but I thought it was an interesting article.

It’s about what happens when you piss off the wrong girl (i.e. one with strong arms).

heroes in s’pore

Masi Oka (Hiro), Sendhil Ramamurthy (Mohinder), Ali Larter (Niki/Jessica), and Greg Grunberg (Matt) swooped into Changi Airport last night.

They are in Singapore as part of a world promotional tour for the second season.

Dang. I seriously hope I bump into Ali Larter somewhere. Mainly my bedroom.

Hehehe.

PS: Joking aside, they'll be at ViVoCity in the afternoon. :) Bring your camera.

manhunt2

Rockstar Games, the producers of the Grand Theft Auto series, in their quest to create legions of angry, gun-toting, baseball-bat wielding class-mate-killing teenagers, have created Manhunt 2.

The good chaps in the UK have banned this game based on its gratuitous violence. The US on the other hand has stuck an M (mature) rating on it.

If you remember being a teen, you’d know that M stands for awesoMe .

rocket scientist indeed

NASA scientists are testing out their new rocket engines that run on a revolutionary new fuel that is cheaper to use and easily available (even on other planets).

And the new mystery rocket fuel is…
(drum-roll)

Liquid methane.

That’s right. Liquid farts. Hehe. I can see it now. Serious NASA scientist meeting for discussion on efficient rocket fuel. And then someone lets one rip.

“Heyyyyy, we could just use this!”

facebook application that actually does something

The friend wheel is a graphical representation of your social network.

It shows you who you know, and which of your friends know each other. For instance, you may not have known that your cousin in London knows your new girlfriend’s mum.

Tiny, the world is.

a google this way comes

Well, it was only a matter of time.

Google’s come up with a phone! and it’s a sexy one!

Wonder what they’re gonna call it though. gPhone? the googly phone?

french news is awesome

Unofficially, the hottest newscaster in the world. Have a look at the video and decide for yourself.

PS: french-speaking women are awesome. non?

PS2:You can read more about how hot and french she is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melissa_Theuriau

Hot Bras

:) This is brilliant. Bra's that produce enough solar power to charge an iPod or a phone.

Basically, a group of male scientists got together and went, we need to get more women to take their tops off.

Voila!

EDIT: It turns out I was wrong! Only the bra on the left generates electricity. The pink one is a prototype for a video game controller. So you know, you'd get your girlfriend to wear it and well.. you'd play :)

Sheer genius.

Harold & Kumar are back baby!

Harold and Kumar are both returning to reprise their roles as marijuana-starved tryin-to-get-laid guys. This time on their way to Amsterdam before they're busted for being terrorists.

I won't say much else. Check out the trailer.

PS: Hehe the endline is so funny. 'This time they're running from the joint'

a picture moment

because i can.

PS: it's Jennifer Garner

hydropolis

Man those Arabs are rich! Later this year, the world’s first underwater hotel will be opened close to the Dubai shoreline.

The 220 suite hotel will be completely submerged and guests will be transported to the hotel via a Disney-esque submarine ride.

Hehe funnily enough, I remember seeing something like this on an old Ozzie TV show called Ocean Girl. Do Arabs get Ozzie tv?

échangiste

One of Paris’s latest hotspots is Les Chandelles. This is a bar cum restaurant cum place-to-exchange-your–significant-other-for-a-night.

Yep, it’s a swingers bar. Doors open at 11pm and entrance is only a mere 140 dollars.

I'd just like to bring up the fact that I'm entitled to four wives :)

You do the math.

Trapped in the Closet

R Kelly has released the subsequent chapters of his mini-musical-drama Trapped in the Closet.

The new episodes bring new characters to life in bizarre ways (R Kelly has a white wig and beard in one).

Some of you may remember the original songs being parodied on an episode of South Park (where Tom Cruise was Trapped in the Closet).

Anyway, it’s all available here: http://ifc.com/static/sections/kelly/trapped.html

PB Returns

You will be getting your weekly fix of Prison Break's third season exactly one month from now.

(Sept. 17, 2007)

I was thinking of providing a small recap of what happened in last season's finale, but I realised that some of you are yet to watch it on Channel 5.

But Michael Scofield dies.

Just kidding. :)

YP-P2

An iPod killer if I ever saw one.

Steve Jobs has a new keyboard.

Their newest venture is ultra-slim wireless keyboards.

If you look closely at the picture, you’ll notice that the frame is just marginally thicker than the keys on it.

Hehe will Apple refuse to let anyone in the electronics world live in peace? What will they do next? Apple electronic toothbrushes?

A Dame to Kill For

Joy! Robert Rodriguez is trying to recruit Angelina Jolie for A Dame to Kill For (Sin City 2).

Now that I think about it, why the hell wasn’t she in the first one? She just seems like she was made for a role in this movie.

Hmmm. Maybe I should start a Facebook petition.

Mirrors

DLP will be to Plasma what BluRay is to DVD.

The next big thing in TV.

Mikaela

For those of you who have no idea who Megan Fox(y) is.

Should be Megan Foxy!

If you're a guy, you'd remember her as the hot girl from transformers.

Mikaela: I'm not gonna sit on that seat. He's driving.

Sam 'Spike' Witwicky: Yeah. You're right. You know, maybe you should sit on my lap.

Mikaela: Why?

Sam 'Spike' Witwicky: Well, I have the only seat belt here. Safety first.

PS: She's marrying some wanker from Beverly Hills 90210 (Brian Austin Green).

PSPS: I've tried that line before and it doesn't work with non-tv people.

PSPSPS: It may have had something to do with the fact that we were in a taxi that had loads of seats/seatbelts.

2D to 3D

Holy cow.

Best gift ever

So which one of you has a birthday coming up?

Iranian Princess

This is Sarah Shahi. Of Iranian and American Descent.

She's the great grand-daughter of the Iranian Shah Fat′h Ali Shah Qajar.

She is also one of the stars of a lesbian TV show called The L Word.

I need to start watching more TV.

Porsche boats?

It has a fiberglass hull, a 525-horsepower Viper engine, and can reach a top speed of 80mph.

If Batman had a boat, this would be it.

Hot Bras

:) This is brilliant. Bra's that produce enough solar power to charge an iPod or a phone.

Basically, a group of male scientists got together and went, we need to get more women to take their tops off.

Voila!

SMU on Newsweek

SMU students were featured on the cover of Newsweek for a story on global education and the rise of new private universities.

Which I think is very cool.

LOST

Well, it's not over yet.

The show's producers have come out to say that the Others will be terrorizing poor Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Locke and Co. for three more seasons.

Sigh. Well, be happy that eventually, they DO all get off the island. OR they're all eaten by tropical polar bears. OR they all turn out to be figments of Hurley's imagination.

Anyway, 2 more years of Evangeline Lilly.

:) I'm not complaining.

One - The Dark Knight

I guess I should get right down to it.

If you're on this page, you probably know that I loved Christopher Nolan's interpretation of the caped crusader.

The whole gang will be returning next year. Plus one gay cowboy.
