Renowned food connoisseur Chua Lam just underwent a balloon angioplasty procedure late last year, but even with a New Year approaching, he still holds onto his love of unhealthy foods and has no plans to change. In fact, Mr. Chua wouldn’t even entertain the thought of reducing the intake of his favourite fatty foods and joked: “as long as we eat whatever we want, the new year will be a happy one,” staying true to his food-loving nature.

The MTR stations have got tonnes of hidden food places. If you walk to work everyday from the station, then you will probably take the same exit every time. You'll walk past the same food places and the same shops selling the same things everyday. But with the MTR Mobile iPhone and iPad application, you'll barely have to wander off your usual path to find great eats and buys.

Using Augmented Reality technology, you can point your iPhone wherever, and the smart system will deduce your location and find you the nearest shops, eating joints, attractions or convenience locations. It's pretty snazzy, and on top of the cool AR magic, the application also gives you useful information for planning your route with the MTR.


The Hong Kong ICT Awards Best Lifestyle Awards presentation ceremony was held last month, and deservingly, MTR Mobile was awarded the  “Best Lifestyle Award” and a Gold Award in the “Green, Healthy and Creative Living” category for its user-friendly and innovative application.

Other winners include Hong Kong Education City's past examination papers portal, the cloud-based publishing platform M-pub and Hong Kong Arts Festival's iPhone application.


We use our smart phones everyday and they have become an important part of our daily routine. With an award like ICT recognizing the best of information technology usage, it will definitely encourage more and better applications that like the MTR one, will help us with our eating and our commuting. We like!

History was made at Thursday’s grand launch of “Aura by Swarovski, as DT Communications Asia Pacific (DT Asia) successfully organized a media event and cocktail party to celebrate the perfume’s official premiere in the region. The occasion featured a never-before-seen light show and the collection was brilliantly showcased with cutting-edge special effects in a dramatic unveiling ceremony.

“Aura by Swarovski” marks Clarins Fragrance Group and Swarovski’s first fragrance collaboration, and the two European brands, along with DT Asia, pulled out all the stops with a star-studded launch event attended by Mr. Christian Courtin-Clarins, Chairman of Clarins Group Supervisory Board.

The impressive highlight was the fantastic light show, beamed from
the venue to the building across the crowded Queensway street. The first of its kind in Asia, the spectacle of light featured the “Aura by Swarovski” video commercial, and captivated guests in a monumental gesture announcing the fragrance’s arrival in Asia’s fashion capital. This bold and innovative display reinforced the larger than life beauty and magic of the fragrance, as well as the tenacity of DT Asia’s production team.

Hundreds of guests, including more than 200 local and regional media from China, India, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and The Philippines, were also in attendance for the epic unveiling ceremony. The collection was revealed in a glorious fashion, with state-of-the-art special effects being employed. When the time came for the unveil, the atmosphere was intensified with lights descending on the stage, perfectly synchronized with smoke and music as guests were treated to the perfume line’s first appearance in the region.

In addition, the Swarovski dress, designed by the late, great Lee McQueen of the fashion house Alexander McQueen, enthralled fashion lovers with its unparalleled beauty and intricacy. Beauty enthusiasts were not left out, as they enjoyed the entire “Aura by Swarovski” collection, which was elegantly displayed on several fragrance bars strategically placed around the venue.

The sheer beauty of the venue also had party-goers singing non-stop praises. The perfect location to announce the Aura, the venue's unique architecture of majestic glass walls and waves-inspired ceiling played the perfect backdrop for the unveiling, artistically mirroring the inspiration for the perfume: pure light.  The venue was drenched in a brilliant pink light that bounced off the building’s curves into an enchanting dance, magically transforming the location into the mystical World of Swarovski.

General Manager of DT Asia, Ms. Alice Fok, said: “Months of hard work and dedication from Clarins Fragrance Group, Swarovski and the DT Asia team made this launch an incredible success. We are honoured that our distinguished guests had a fabulous time and we feel motivated to tackle similar challenges in the future.”

Volkswagen XL1 Concept

Posted by bloggergeek On 00:29 0 comments

The Volkswagen XL1 Concept is the car of the future. It looks futuristic enough, with its lack of a rear view mirror and sleeky design, complete with hidden rear wheels. Heck, it even looks like the Jetsons' family car. But what truly makes it the car of the future isn't its fancy gulf wing doors or Bugatti-like body kit. What makes it the car of the future is its outrageously green mileage. With just 0.9 litres of diesel, the machine will take you a whole 100 kilometres. That's about 10 times the average car.

Remember that song that goes "girls don't like boys/ girls like cars and money"? Well usually this isn't true. Usually... This might be an exception though; sexy, functional and environmentally-friendly.

Tomorrow will be the first anniversary of Lee McQueen's tragic passing. Fashion house Alexander McQueen's driving force was a visionary and his bold designs drew the likes of Hollywood and beyond.

So as a little tribute to the designer, here's a snippet of To Lee, With Love, Nick, a short film by photographer Nick Knight, featuring Bjork.

La Blogotheque

Posted by bloggergeek On 20:39 0 comments

If you're stuck on indie music, then you probably worship La Blogotheque. The French site and main man Vincent Moon have revolutionized the idea of the music video, by bringing bands into the streets and out of their comfort zones for stripped down performances, all caught by the La Blogotheque team's talented bunch of sound and camera folk.

One of their recent features is Southern California band Local Natives.

A bunch of good-looking guys, sleek camera work, amazing music and a stunning view of the streets of Paris; what more could you ask for?

2011 Superbowl Ads

Posted by bloggergeek On 09:34 0 comments

The Superbowl was this past weekend, and although Green Bay brought home the gold, there's a wealth of laughs in the Superbowl commercials.

These 30 second to a minute spots sell for at least US$ 3 million, but regulars like Doritos, Budweiser and E-Trade come back every year with bigger and better ads aimed at your funny bone, and commercial time during the big game has become the Holy Grail of comedic and marketing genius.

My favourite this year is Volkswagen's Darth Vader commercial.

Spoiler alert! The idea is simple: kid dressed as Darth Vader tries out 'the force' but can't seem to work his jedi powers. Dad comes home in the new Volkswagen Passat, and just for kicks, humours the kid, who can't believe that he just used his mind to power the Passat. It's great; very very funny.

Lanvin F/W 2011/12

Posted by bloggergeek On 01:24 0 comments
Lanvin puts a modern twist on the cowboy look in their latest Fall/Winter collection. Wide-brimmed hats, interesting outerwear and turtlenecks worn under collared shirts all contribute to the 'wild wild west' feel of the collection, and intricate tailoring is perfectly paired with rugged elements like boots and leather gloves for the sexy, dangerous James Bond vibe.

Katy Perry Collection by OPI

Posted by bloggergeek On 20:22 0 comments
Part of every girl's Teenage Dream is to always have a great manicure. Having pretty fingers makes us feel like Fireworks and although we might be stuck at work, one glance at our nails and it's almost like we are California Girls Waking Up in Vegas.

Her five-colour collection is exactly what you'd expect from the vivacious singer, who's known to heat up the red carpet with outrageous outfits covered in anything from sequins to feathers to lace.

Teenage Dream is a bright glittery pink, sure to match your cherry chapstick, Not Like the Movies is an alluring silver, and Last Friday Night is an electric blue with electrifying glitter. There's also The One That Got Away, which is a dark magenta, perfect for those dress-up nights, and Black Shatter, a revolutionary new top coat that creates a cracked pattern resembling a wild leopard print.


Renowned food connoisseur Chua Lam just underwent a balloon angioplasty procedure late last year, but even with a New Year approaching, he still holds onto his love of unhealthy foods and has no plans to change. In fact, Mr. Chua wouldn’t even entertain the thought of reducing the intake of his favourite fatty foods and joked: “as long as we eat whatever we want, the new year will be a happy one,” staying true to his food-loving nature.

Chua Lam, whom from young acquired his love of cooking with pig’s oil as the essential ingredient, coined the phrase “猪油美味“, which translated, means ‘pig’s oil is the epitome of good taste’. He jokes that in the heart of all old food enthusiasts is the love of lard and reiterated by saying that pig’s oil symbolises a good start to the New Year, and cannot be foregone in the celebrations.

“A lot of my good friends are worried about me. But it’s difficult to enjoy food, yet eat healthy. I’ve always believed in the benefits of drinking pu’er tea and its ability to rid our digestive systems of excess oil, and I recently discovered Eat Drink Tea® - bioactive Pu'er essence, which is suitable for my food-loving lifestyle. Earlier, I joined Amanda S and the director of Eat Drink Tea®, Mr. Simon Cheng, for some tea tasting and found the product very much to my liking,” he said, “It has 8 times the polyphenols than in regular pu’er tea, and it is even easy to carry around; incredibly convenient for someone like me, who is constantly on the move.”

These days, many do not understand what truly constitutes ‘tea drinking’. Chua Lam explains that it has origins in the language of ancient China, and to “go tea drinking” actually means to “go eat tea”, emphasizing the Chinese tradition of appreciating tea completely by both eating and drinking.

Cheerfully dishing out some New Year’s advice, Chua Lam said that in this especially cold and bitter winter season, the best way to celebrate Lunar New Year is to gather around the fire, drinking tea and enjoying the company of close friends.

Herding Cats

Ikea is probably the world's most renowned furniture chain. Affordable, attractive, flat-packed home furnishings for every man, woman, child and er... cat?

Apparently so.

Ikea's crazy new ad features 100 cats let loose in their Wembley store. The agile little fellas jump and crawl around the Swedish store's displays and the camera crew somehow managed to catch the felines' golden moments traversing the Ikea showroom terrain.

Move over, Keyboard Cat, Ikea cats are the new viral video champ.

Watch the behind-the-scenes and the actual ad here:


Comic Sans Criminal

Posted by bloggergeek On 00:37 0 comments
We've all been there - whether conjuring digital images on Microsoft Paint, writing emails to long-lost friends or grinding out 50-page thesis papers (gasp!) - at one point or another, we've all been guilty of misusing the Comic Sans font.

Hence, some clever fella with Internet access saw opportunity in this global misjudgment epidemic, and created Comic Sans Criminal, a tongue-in-cheek guide to using the correct use of typography, and more specifically, Comic Sans.

It's cleverly designed, colourful and very well typographied (duh!). A short little exercise than is fun for all, even if you're too hooked on the font to change your ways.

Gaga loves meat

Posted by bloggergeek On 23:27 0 comments
The VMAs have always been one of the wildest red carpets. After all, it's MTV, home of outrageous shows like Jackass and Wildboyz. There's nothing the MTV audience hasn't seen that will shock us into speechlessness. Or at least we thought so...

Cue Lady Gaga and her meat dress. Yep, a dress made entirely out of dinner, with a matching headpiece and twine-tied fillet-shoes as the icing on (beef)cake.

Then, Gaga went onstage to receive her award for Video of the Year, presented by Cher, who was dressed like, well, Cher, in her beaded black leather leotard and stockings. That was probably the only time in the history of the universe that a Cher outfit had been upstaged by another piece of clothing (if the meat dress even qualifies as apparel).

I'm not too sure what to think about Lady Gaga's new venture in fashion. She's always been crazy with her outfits, but nothing so edible before. I mean, this is crazy, right?

What do you guys think?

Urban Outfitters

Posted by bloggergeek On 04:20 0 comments
Urban Outfitters seems to be the ultimate hipster clothing store. Shop assistants look like they hang out at Lower East Side hipster haunt Cake Shop 24/7, the shop is subtly decorated with vintage furnishings, and there's always good indie music playing at a UO store, and the website even gives out mp3s for free download on their site.

So, it's no surprise that She & Him lent their little ditty "Why Do You Let Me Stay Here" to UO's Spring 2008 video catalogue.

Check it out below.

It's not everyday that Andrew and Ben from MGMT suit up, but when they do work the snappy dressing, the duo clean up very very well.

Also in the spread, legendary legend (what other word is there?) David Byrne was in the company of two gorgeous ladies, posing with Santigold and St.Vincent for the magazine.
