Dove is sponsoring a private island getaway for 10 worth $10,000 and all you have to do is to get creative and submit a video or a picture of how you would freshen up the humble shower to the official Facebook page here.

Winners are selected based on the no. of public likes for your submission and judges choice for quality. Contest ends on the 23rd of October 2009.

No ideas? Too little time to submit something creative? Don’t have 9 friends that you can bring along for the trip?

That’s where I come in!

A group of friends and I are taking part in the Dove Go Fresh Splash Challenge and we are giving up TWO slots for one winner to bring his/her friend along to the trip with us! (As if we will be winning it surely. )

Watch this space (and any other space I am on….) for details when we post the video entry of us up on the Dove Go Fresh Challenge Facebook page. What I need you to do is to vote, Vote, VOTE!!!!

And if we don’t win? We’ll still give out a mystery prize to one lucky supporter as a token of appreciation for your support!

Stay tuned!

Singtel INQ Mini 3G was launched at Civic Plaza and bloggers & celebrities were invited to attend the very nicely set up containers in front of Ngee Ann City.

Twitter, being a integral selling point of the INQ Mini 3G, coupled with the enthusiasm of the bloggers in the same room as Dawn, made her pretty interested in figuring out what Twitter is.

"Twitter si simi lai eh?"

Randall shows the ropes

Dawn Yeoh signs up

Unlike the America where most celebrities have more or less embraced social media, especially Twitter; only a handful of local celebrities have actually done the same. Thanks to Randall and the bloggers, Dawn Yeoh and Jesseca Liu have at least signed up for Twitter and we await with baited breath if they will actually use their accounts regularly. Go add em and urge them on!

Yet another, “I have neglected my blog” post!

I have tons of experiences and photos to share with you guys and I promise I’ll catch up real soon.

Here are some pictures to whet your appetite!

So stay tuned as I try to update this space of mine!

Singtel is officially selling the INQ Mini 3G as of today and I had the privilege to attend their blogger event on Monday and brought home a unit to try it out!

Size comparison of INQ Mini 3G and iPhone

Unfortunately, I didn’t have enough time with the phone to give and in depth review but here are the pros & cons.

Pros:

• Phone designed with social applications integrated into it’s core like Facebook, Twitter, WLM etc..
• Light
• Applications can be downloaded/updated easily
• Aesthetically pleasing design with many colours to choose from
• Buttons are well define and relatively easy to press
• Very, very, very affordable price

Cons:

• Felt fragile
• No 3.5mm headphone jack (earphones are connected via usb)
• Felt a little sluggish at times

If you are looking for a phone to beat the Blackberry, iPhone, Android and whatever top-of-the-line phones you can think of; the INQ Mini 3G is not it. But INQ and Singtel has priced this phone at $0.

Yes. ZERO DOLLARS, if you sign up the 3G Flexi Lite AMPed plan or the iOne Plus Youth plan.

The phone is built for social media crazed individual and the price point makes it pretty irresistible if you don’t have much cash to spare.
