The smartphone is such a machine. I discovered some great iPhone apps this month so I’d like to share my favourites. They are all mostly free to download but comes with in-app purchases which I’m contemplating! A successful app is one that makes you want to pay for it.


Action Movie FX
Lets you add Hollywood FX to iPhone movies I shoot! I can direct the action and put my friends/ pets or toys in precarious scenes.

It’s really simple and fast to use, one of the most practical yet technical detail. It is strangely recommended to me by someone who is 50 years old! So don't belittle that grandpa.

The free effects available are Missile Attack, Car Smash, or Demolition Ball. A busted tyre had me stranded for hours! So check out my self-entertaining Action Movie videos.


and then i hulk smashed my dad

also a perfect excuse to get a cutie involved.
Additional FX for purchase are the Chopper Down and Tornado Action, otherwise Air Strike or Fire Fight. I’m tempted!


The Good Life

Almost all Singaporeans on average own at least 3 credit cards. We really have a good life here, because credit cards spoil us with choices. I usually check for any "credit card promotions" before making a purchase in-store or in restaurants. To be honest, deals and promotions do influence my choice in dining & swiping of credit. Unfortunately, all these booklets that the credit cards mail me? I can never remember the 1600 merchants. The booklets are utterly useless and kills the trees.

I really must commend Standard Chartered for being the first to think of their customers' needs. Making it an ease to locate the latest deals, the Good Life iPhone app makes it easy for cardholders to locate ongoing promotions at all dining, retail and lifestyle establishments. All 1600 at a push of a button!

It is really simple to use and you can search for deals available nearby by category, merchant name or keyword and keep track of favourite offers. Very useful information at my fingertips, really a conduit to all the experiences The Good Life brings.

Pick
Set to rival Instagram, Pick is the Japanese Instagram. Other than filters, Pick also has cute emoticons, memes and dress up(s) you can place onto your photo. 

I don't know how they do it, but the moment i finished editing, there were already strangers sending me love. Even when i have zero followers, i don't know where they come from! I suppose whatever pictures you take with Pick is highly visible by the community unlike Instagram.
Kopi Tiam Mini
is free to download. My childhood ambition was to be a cashier therefore i resonate very well with time management games like Diner Dash. I love them! Makes my finger cramp.

I've always wondered why no one does a local version until....
The graphics is amazing and so accurate! Customers get really impatient because of the heat (duh, i do too in reality) and with enough sales, you can buy a fan to keep them cool!

What's your favourite?

We all woke up to some iSad news today where Steve Jobs have gone to the real iCloud. Some great quotes were circulating the cyber space, my favourite to sum this man up was
“Steve born out of wedlock, adopted at birth, dropped out of college but went on to change the world.”
With that quote, it made me feel mediocre. I was blessed to be born into a complete family with average income, have my limbs intact and senses complete. I feel ashamed I haven’t done more.

Steve is quite a looker when he is young; this was the rediscovered 1984 video of him introducing the first Mac ever. With my home computer a Mac and my office desktop a lap top, I kind of forgot what a PC is already. Then I remembered PC came with CPUS. I expected Mac to be the norm and nothing less.


I was resistant to converting to the iPhone for 3 generations. But when I did, it changed my world.
#ThankYouSteve for apps like Fake Call to get out of bad dates. 
Too often I had been readily available for the man I like that they take me for granted. To keep men wanting, you need to be unavailable. With Fake-a-Call, I can pretend I am at a really happening place when Mr. Potential calls. I can be at the club with my girlfriends (and being hit on by other Potentials); I can be at a sports event (I have a life that don’t revolve around you). Even though I really am home alone on a Friday night, unwanted.
 
Fake-a-Call also allows me to get out of hairy situations if I want to cut our socializing time short. I can tell a bad date, “Sorry, boss called. I got to go to work now! Yes, at MIDNIGHT!”


#ThankYouSteve for apps like Talk-O-Metre that measures how one-sided a conversation is. It made me dump that egoistic jerk.

Then, there is the Talk-O-Metre ($4.99). It is a chat-monitoring app that shows when someone is dominating a conversation. After a brief calibration, the app can recognize who is speaking and keeps track of each person’s talk time. Often, when you are smitten with someone you may be blinded by “love” to realize he is a self centered person. You will face the hard truth with this iPhone app. 
 Pity it can’t measure empty vessels so I know he is providing intelligent conversations. Oh wait; I think I can use my brain to measure that.

#ThankYouSteve for apps that can measure bad breath and body fat so it won't be surprising to find moobs.

Some people mask their bad breath with mints without knowing that sugar makes their breath stink even more. In the event of me having a flu that day, I may not be able to detect bad breath of a first date from across the table, I can use this app discreetly.

NTT DOCOMO Japan is preparing an app that can measure radiation levels in the surrounding, if you smell of alcohol (creep back home unsuspectingly) or under UV light that can harm the skin.

The final, here’s one for the boys. AXE Auto Romeo (free) is for the players. An iPhone app made easy for men to pay attention to lots of girls, all at the same time or all of the time. It does this by automatically sending personalized messages that pay attention to them on your behalf.
If you have a few different girls on the go at once, things can get tricky. When you spend time with one girl, the other will feel left out. How do you make sure all the girls in your life get the attention they deserve? Axe Auto Romeo offers a simple solution. Simply answer a few questions about the girls in your life and it will use this information to create personalised romantic messages. It will generate messages that you can send so the lady in question will know you’re thinking about them.

Axe Auto Romeo has three different flirt levels so you can decide how steamy the messages are. If you don’t know the lady very well, you may want to set it on warm and see what develops. If you’re already well acquainted with the lady, hot or steamy may be more effective.
 
Steve Jobs created the iPhone which revolutionized mobile apps. iPhone changed the dating world.

#ThankYouSteve for making me not look where i walk.One day,i'll knock into my Prince Charming.If i don't meet him @Facebook first.
