Futurama

I can be quite a geek, but i think it's only because of my occupation. Getting a sneak peak of what technology is to come makes it excited about the future. It’s quite like a strip tease.
The year has finally kicked in and in the last year, these technologies have been promised to be commercially available. Girls get men to buy them fancy branded items, I’m saving up for a 3D printer so I can print every material want!

A Chanel? A hunk?  Or maybe I can rob a bank with a home-made 3D printed gun and then escape jail with a home-made 3D printed handcuffs key.

While 3D printing technology brings criminal possibilities, it can also potentially solve food shortage by printing edible meat.

To buy from Cubify, it’s about SGD 2000 (yes, I was actually serious in buying) but I reckon 3D printers will either get more expensive or more affordable due to the demand. I make purchases like a girl, over-analyzing. However, the home 3D printers available can only prints useless solids which I CAN USE as paperweights but my mum already threatened to throw me out for my never-ending new shoes; I doubt we have space in our HDB for a 3D printer L

Then, there is Google glasses that remind me of Minority Report.

Thankfully, I haven’t gone for Lasik. I hate to be a poseur, wearing glasses with no degree. The first pair is expected to cost USD 1500.

Theologians say during Armageddon, we may have microchips inserted under our skin to pay for food. But before that happens, we first have to dance for our drink.

My iPhone Case Journey.

With the recent furor as a food blogger, and the recent post on mobile applications that change the dating world, I thought I’d share these whacky cases.

Now, 5 million of the 7 million smart phones in Singapore are iPhones. What makes your iPhone stand out from every Tom, Dick, Harry on the MRT?
 
When i first got my iPhone last Aug (late adopter), i made mine stand out with this cover that looked like a manual out of a Kung Fu flick (SGD 3 from J8,Bishan). My mum says i looked like i am a country bumpkin from China with this cover but what does she know about pop culture!
This IS then obiang.
Zipping and unzipping it wasn't too user friendly, eventually i lost the case :"(
And i chanced upon this in Far East Plaza (SGD13).
 
Then it caught on and i started seeing many others using it.
 
Time to stand out further.
 
I've seen the calculator, chocolate bar and other similar around but i didn't find them looking real. Except the crayon one, it was kinda cute. I feel like a Kindergarten child, pubescent and nubile.
 

I wanted an edge. Then i saw this....
People judge me without knowing me anyway, i might as well warn them i am of explicit material and they better not come near me. True sign of a bad girl...

I didn't get it. I am really an innocent girl...despite writing topics like sex volunteering.

Then i saw this in KL and i bought not 1 but 4 to match my shoes.
I was COOL for 4 months until they started springing up in Bugis and Orchard.

I had to level up again.
I was honestly VERY tempted to buy this in Hong Kong (sgd 20), it reminded me of
I went back to the shop twice but decided against it because it would be really difficult to bring it around although it was an option to hang it around my neck like a senile old man.

Besides it didn't look really real, and i am all about authencity. If it's not real, don't do it...*cough* fake eyelashes *cough*

So, to level up my iPhone case and make it stand out among the crowd in the MRT...i found these...
The Japanese are perfectionist in making things and fake food is their pride and glory (all those window displays...). Each one individually hand-made, they don't come cheap (usd 50). A sign of wealth and foodie, these iPhone cases stand out.
Never go hungry with these! A good way to diet, you can stare till you're sick of food!
That is, IF you can ever stuff these sweet berries into your pants.

Smart phones are now used for spying and stalking. Perfect camouflage for the job! One for the army boys when you can't bring into camp camera phones. You risk being ridiculed for being a Mummy's boy for bringing in home cooked bento though! Or you could always say it's from your girlfriend and be the envy of hormone raging army boys.
We always know that lying is a no-no and it's a grey line with white lies. For the less endowed males, boast about the eel in your pants with this Unagi case!
And if you need to put out that fire in the pants?

Try the shaved ice.
The above cases can be bought at http://www.strapya-world.com/

P.S I'm kidding about being a food blogger, i prefer eating my food hot.
