Once upon a time, a girl received a mysterious package in the mail.

Mysterious Package

She opened the package and saw a glossy black thing of beauty glowing at her.

Samsung Jet

It was a phone!

And because the girl always kept up to date on trends, she knew instantly that it was a Samsung Jet!

How more wonderful could life get?

Sheylara

Like many other girls, this girl loved brand new shiny things, so she picked it up with delight and turned it on.

Samsung Jet

The pretty, bright colours of the 3.1″ revolutionary AMOLED screen took her breath away and she was instantly in love.

Sheylara

Fascinated by the rich colours and sharp resolution, she sat there and scrolled through the three default widget screens endlessly to admire the wallpapers, using her thumb on the touchscreen.

She loved that there were three widget screens to hold tons of cool widgets. Widgets are a girl’s best friend! (Well, almost.)

Samsung Jet

She could drag and drop selected widgets onto any of the screens and arrange them to her liking for fast access to her favourite applications!

Samsung Jet

Facebook! YouTube! Google! Photo album! Birthday reminders! Etc and etc and etc!!

It was so insanely fun and convenient that the girl spent, like, half an hour dragging and dropping widgets, all the while still admiring the vibrant display colour of the Samsung Jet.

Once she was done, she discovered the menu screens, which held icons for more serious smartphone users.

Although the screen background was black and serious here, unlike the widget screen, the icons jumped out with their pretty colours, and she thought maybe this would be nice for the times when she needed to get serious and work on stuff that needed to be, well, worked on.

Sheylara

She could, for instance, access the Internet from here, edit videos, organise tasks, calculate or convert stuff, listen to the radio, play games…

Sheylara

Oops! Well, even serious can be fun!

And, of course, she could make phone calls. Duh. It was a phone, after all, even if it was a “Smarter than Smartphone” phone.

She loved playing with the Samsung Jet and discovering its cool features. And it was so easy to figure out that she didn’t even need to look at a manual.

Sheylara

Also, with an 800MHz application processor, which, in layman’s terms, means very very fast, working on the phone was a breeze. Applications opened fast and worked smoothly. There was no lag, which was very important for a busy girl!

Then, she discovered the buttons on the side of the phone.

Like, there were the volume buttons on the left, and a lock button and a camera button on the right.

And then, there was the cube button!

Samsung Jet

Pressing this button produced a cute little cube on the screen and it was fun because she could roll the cube around on the screen with either her thumb or her fingernails.

The cube was a media gateway, which was just perfect for a media-loving girl!

Samsung Jet

Each face of the cube gave her access to a different media application: Photos, music, videos, radio, games and the Internet!

The girl was so spoilt for choice!

Happily, she ran to show off the phone to her boyfriend, who she was sure would be very impressed.

She said, “Ta dah!!”

Sheylara

And he said, “WOW!! A SAMSUNG JET!!!”

She said, “Yah! It’s mine!!”

And he said, “Lemme see, lemme see!”

So the girl handed the phone over and the boyfriend said, “Waaaaaaaaaah! I like! It’s mine now!”

The girl said, “How can like that?!”

And the boy said, “I trade you my Samsung Omnia!”

Samsung Omnia

And before the girl could say or do anything else, the naughty boy kissed the girl on the cheeks, said, “Love ya!” and ran off to work with her Samsung Jet!

Boyfriends could be so annoying!

Sheylara

Well, since her phone got hijacked and the girl can’t talk about it anymore, she says you can find out tons more cool stuff about it at the Samsung Jet website.

Or, better yet, try out the phone yourself at the Samsung flagship store at VivoCity!

I’m not a Michael Jackson fan but we have to talk about him in Star Blog this week.

We were also tasked to take photos of ourselves in “MJ moments” so I decided to have some fun with it.

Sheylara

I had planned to meet my friends at East Coast Park for skating/cycling on Saturday night, so I latched upon the brilliant idea of doing a photo shoot on my skates.

It was nuts.

You can’t imagine how unbelievably tough it is to make convincing Michael Jackson poses on too-tight skates, especially if the ground is not totally flat.

Sheylara

Imagine me trying to hold this pose while my body involuntarily starts to roll forward slowly because the ground is ever-so-slightly angled and my friends around me are screeching with laughter while I strain and angle my body and feet to control the rolling and, all the while, my assigned photographer is not photographing me because he’s having fun making MJ poses himself.

My toes totally died from loss of blood by the end of the shoot.

But it was, on the whole, rather fun. And I’m sure I provided some comic entertainment to many lucky passers-by that night.

Thanks to Unker Kell for being my photographer and enduring the scoldings by Minou and me for constantly being distracted and not doing your job properly.

Thanks to Minou for being my “dance” director.

Sorry you guys didn’t get to cycle much because we spent most of the night doing this shoot.

Club Morte

See the rest of the photos here!

Love, Sheylara

This baby is seriously awesome.

NSFW because it will make you LOL. But then, the work week is over, so it’s okay to watch.

Enjoy!

By the way, I scheduled Gamer Girl Friday for tomorrow because I was supposed to post an advertorial today but I think it got delayed so, well, GGF will come out, uh, whenever. =P

In the meantime, I’m having a lot of fun in Plurk these days, with more friends joining me. Even the Goonfather has joined and gotten addicted. Haha.

Join us in Plurkland for silly chats!

Love, Sheylara

I almost walked face-first into a daddy longlegs yesterday.

It was hanging at face height on the way to my door, like a booby trap.

Daddy Longlegs

Because it’s brownish-yellow and thin, and my room’s light is yellow, I couldn’t see it until I was almost kissing it.

Shocked, I jumped back but managed to hold in a shriek. I rushed to my computer and started typing to the Goonfather.

MSN

“There’s a daddy longlegs hanging by a thread in front of my shelf. Sad smiley” I said.

The reply came back: “Then you never wish it Happy Belated Father’s Day?”

“…”

A minute later, my MSN window opened again and there was the Goonfather raving:

“Ehhh… I know you gonna take a pic of the spider now, and then blog what I tell you, and call the post Stupid Goonfather!”

I smiled. “I already Plurk/Twitter about it!”

“Blah!”

LOL

[Fast forward 15 minutes...]

“Arrgh. The daddy longlegs was climbing down its thread as I was walking out of the room. I almost walked into it again!!”

“Ehh… why you never kill it??”

“I don’t like killing insects, except ants. Cos I can’t deal with the corpse.”

“Hmm… you need an undertaker.”

“My undertaker is at work now.”

Pregnant pause…

“TMD!!”

:D
