Most of you might have already heard that the Nokia is releasing a new phone which plays as an attempt to challenge the Iphone. The new Nokia is called 5800 xpress Music.

It does have quite an attractive interface

I’m not the one to judge but I think is the latest Nokia just might stand the chance. First thing first, I need to get my hands on one of these bad boys then I’ll let you all know. I heard some where that the shipment for this phone is delayed and I haven’t really seen it around any of the retailers. No commercials or advertisements either. I wonder what Nokia might be waiting for? Bugs maybe????

Anyways, the best way to get more information is to visit there site for a more up close and personal look at the Nokia 5800 xpress.

Hi everyone,

I just thought I share with my fellow Hong Kongers something I found on the internet that can be quite useful. I’m originally from the U.S. and miss many things back home. It is quite frustrating when you find something you want on the internet but cannot get it because they don’t ship to Hong Kong.

Well, I have finally found a site that let’s you do just that and not only do they let you purchase things from the states, they actually give you a U.S. address so that the product is sent to that U.S. address and directly reroute the product to you in Hong Kong. I was browsing through some site called lifestyle.hk and found an ad called onenow.com now I don’t have to bother my friends and family back home to buy me things that I can’t get in HK.

I think is pretty cool that this exist, and to think, the whole 3 years I’ve been in HK and have not found this site. I think your family and friends back home will really appreciate this site as well, now they don’t have to bother with your annoying wants.

One time I forgot about the time difference between HK and U.S and boy were they mad when I woke them up at 4 in the morning, lol.

Well the down side of this is that not all merchants are signed on to this site (apple)

Damn.

Anyways it’s still pretty useful so it’s cool

One note I must make though, they have 2 different ways of charging you one is called Payforme and the other is called deliverforme I suggest the deliver for method so you don’t have to pay so much and look for merchants that ship free in the U.S.

Trust me, you’ll save more and avoid paying for additional “unnecessary” charges.

Just thought I share with everyone that John Legend was in Hong Kong and he played at the Mo Bar in Hong Kongs 5 star Hotel Mandarin Oriental. If you weren’t there Here are some picture for the die-hard fans.

Check out who was his guest appearance as well.

Maserati has just came out with a new quattroporte released in HK. This magnificent piece of work must cost an arm and a leg. Well to all the hard working people in HK. Keep up the good work, might be able to get one, one day. I know I’m trying, Let me speak no more, Check out the car for yourself. 

I also came across a lifestyle site that covered there grand opening: www.lifestyle.hk 

The New Quattroporte

Sony Ericsson Xperia

For all the mobile phone tech fans that have been waiting for the next phone to compete with the astounding technology and userfriendly interface of the iphone. Another challenger is here.

Sony Ericsson came out with the X1(xperia). The slick Arc Slider design is sure going to make mobile text messaging and web surfing a bit easier. People always wants to feel what they are pushing as a confirmation that the button pushed is actually pushed. The x1 might be what you are looking for.

There are some video clips and commercials that you can check out for this phone which I find it kinda cool. Just ask yourself one question after viewing. If it was really done who’s going to clean it up?

Check it out for yourself and leave me a comment:>

This is definitely a phone worth exploring. One of the things that Sony ericsson may be lacking is building up the hype. Think they may change that? Let’s give it some time and see what they do.

Just went to an event this past weekend on Friday night. It is by far one of the best event I’ve been to this year. The venue of this event is located at the Hong Kong Ferry Pier “watermark” The theme of this event like the heading of this blog “Chivas Studio” It was free flow of Chivas mixed drinks, which I really enjoyed, great music by HK Canto Pop star (Justin Lo) and one of NY finest DJ Ge-ology.

The event suppose to start at 8PM but the life of the party started at around 10:30. The art and the interior design of the place is such a pleasant sight to see. So I’ve actually found a site that had covered the event and it recapped the beautiful people at this event. Just thought I share this with you.

I’ll definitely be looking forward to next years event.

Well, Today I just thought I do a little bit of exploring in this new shopping center which is kind of newly opened. As I did my usual shopping for new stuff that I don’t really need I came across this cool rack that is tailor made for the iphone. It’s called the Xtand I must say they made the product really useful for multiple positioning from verticle to horizontal.  I’m going to put this in the office come next week. The price really sucks though. At first I thought it would probably be about 150 HKD, But it turned out to be 298 with 5% off which I had to ask for to get it. Oh yeah, quick tip, most travellers think that bargaining is only appropriate at street vendors like lady street in Mong kok but I actually got this discount at DG Lifestyle store. Just ask them for it and see what they say. This is the first time I got a discount from this place. Well they should for the prices they are charging. Anyways going back, I think there was a show going on there or something but just seen this gorgeous young performer and I just can’t resist not getting a picture with her. Check her out.

me and the performer

Well I didn’t get a chance to talk to her much since she was in a rush to change and maybe getting off work.

Wish I had more time but hey, There’s always next time. It’s a small world after all. So aside from getting ripped off by DG Lifestyle for an expensive rack for my iphone at least I got this cool picture to show for it.

Since I’m still new to this whole Blog thing, I just thought to myself, Why don’t I get a good read and learn more about it. So I went to one of these book shops that specialize in IT related books, so I wasn’t really in there just looking for books about blogs since I don’t notice too many of those being publish.

I then took a look on the shelf of the book store and noticed a book that look something like the digitial patterns on Matrix. once I took a closer look it is a book called the ” Blogging Hero”

This is a book with interviews on 30 top bloggers found around the bloggosphere. I Just started on the book so i couldn’t comment much about it, but so far, i’m enjoying the read.

Will let you all know how it goes.

Here's what the book looks like

Well, just did some wondering around in HK again and happen across this giant dinosaur in CWB, HK

The interesting thing with this art piece is that it has a made in China logo on it’s belly and this giant red T-rex is stuck in a cage. After looking at it for a while I couldn’t really get what it means.

Hey! I’m no art critic and I wouldn’t really pay too much attention to it, but since it is bright red, there was no way that I’m not going to notice it. So I do what any curious young explorer would do, pop out my iphone and take a pic then blog about it in word press.

eifle tower?

Here check it out for your self, I also took some pictures of other art work that was displayed there and I just thought I share these with you art enthusiast. These pictures are taken at times square, a very popular shopping and hang out spot that most girls like to run into there friends at.

It always amazes me how clubbing in HK can cost so much. Let’s start at the beginning.

Once you get to the entrance, for most clubs, they will already charge you entrance fee. (Check out the link for a peak at what dragon-i is doing, They are charging entrance fee at a public space and they are caught on camera. dragon-i entrance fee

Once you’re clubbing of course you will not be satisfied with just that one drink they give you as complimentary. So for someone to get tipsy and have a good time I would presume your spending that night will run you about 5-6 hundred, depending on what you drink of course.

If you don’t live close by then there’s transportation cost, since the MTR stop running after 12:45am and don’t start again until 5:45 am. So unless you are out all night then you will have to resort to red top mini vans or taxi.

It’s pretty fun to go sometimes but I have a pretty good time in Shenzhen china as well, of course you won’t be going to the disco bars, but they have some good clubs there where they don’t believe in cover charge and the drinks are about 25% cheaper. Good night, really tipsy and cost about 300RMB only, and I’m talking about the whole night.

Good Luck trying to spend a good clubbing night without blowing a wad in Hong Kong!

I Luv Hong Kong!!!!
