Feeling sick of the hype of iPhone? Here comes LG with its Prada II to stay in the competition.
It suppors multitouch, where you can "pinch" your photos to resize, or to zoom in and out for the Web pages. Like an iPhone or iPod Touch, basically.
It has a QWERTY keyboard too. When you pull out the keyboard, the screen switches to landscape mode automatically. Convenient indeed.
I quite frankly like the design of this watch. Usually digital watch looks cheap and tacky, except for my Nooka of course.
But this little sidekick of the Prada II phone, the Prada Link watch looks simple and sleek, formal enough to wear with the business shirt, and casual enough for the tshirt.
And it's a Prada lor... David Gan would probably get one even though he won't really know how to turn it on in the first place.
Besides admiring the aesthetics, this watch is really an overkill in my opinion.
Why would anyone need a watch that pulls sms messages and your call information from your mobile phone? Unless you are too lazy to take the phone out of the pocket or purse, or you left it on your work desk to go for your tenth coffee break.
It has a tiny little OLED screen that displays the content of text messages, call history data, a call rejection option and, of course, the time.
How much is it? Only S$688 a pop, darling!
Eliss is totally hooked to Little Nonya on Youtube. She is in front of her iBook, earphones plugged in and watching how Juxiang and Yue Niang suffered from the 1930s till the modern days.
I reckon besides teenage vampire stories, this is the next big thing for her.
I'm actually quite a fan of Nonya food, before this mega drama started.
One of my favourite dish is Ayam Buah Keluak, which I reckon is the most famous too.
INGREDIENTS:
One whole chicken
10 buah keluak nuts
Assam (tamarind) water - about 1.5 litres depending on sourness preferred
3 large onions
3 stalks of lemongrass
4 pcs small yellow ginger (tumeric)
5 pcs of candlenuts (buah keras)
a few slices of blue ginger (to taste preference)
a tablespoon of belachan
6-8 fresh red chilli
5 tablespoon sugar
5 tablespoon salt

I didn't know that these fruits from the kepayang (pangium edule) trees are so poisonous!
The oily, hard-shelled seeds contain hydrocyanic acid, which in high concentration can be used as chemical warfare agents. Wah! Better buy some and keep at home for protection.
But not to worry, the seeds that we buy in our markets in Singapore are detoxified by first boiling the seeds with the shells intact, and then burying the boiled seeds in ash for over 40 days.
The fermented seeds then become chocolate-brown, greasy and edible.
I found an interesting Nonya dessert which I've never heard of, Durian Green Bean Soup.
Wonder how it tastes like.
