iPhone Show & Tell: Chicken Battle


Yesterday I was telling you about how writing about Angry Birds plushies reminded me of an iPhone game to introduce to you and here it is. Chicken Battle is like the adorable if slightly inferior little brother of Plants vs Zombies . Still curiously addictive but like PvZ, not too challenging. Though the cute graphics kinda makes it worth spending the whole day playing the game just to find out what other types of chickies there are. The game doesn't offer as many levels and variety as PvZ and be prepared for having to do some grinding and leveling up for the harder stages. All in all not bad for a casual strategy game. It was free when I downloaded it over the weekend but I believe it's now back to US$0.99. Check out the lite version for a preview.

Getting Dumped: Lanvin x H&M




The meaning of this title is twofold: firstly, that I am simply dumping this image orgy of Lanvin X H&M images on you because words cannot do justice; secondly, that if you just got dumped, having the ex see you all fabbed out in some crazy hot Lanvin x H&M is sort of the perfect revenge... or at the very least will allow you to feel good about yourself, if your ex is not some fashion-obsessed person. In which case, you're better off without him or her, no?

Anyway... on to the full set of lookbook pics.

Hold Me Thrill Me Kissel Me Kill Me


My inordinate interest in the Robert Kissel murder case continues anew after finishing Never Enough last night. Since the Hong Kong media has been banned from reporting on the new trial's proceedings, I shall have to get my milkshake murder fix elsewhere. And of all the random Kissel-associated media I found... John Stamos produced a Lifetime movie about the case? It's called The Two Mr Kissels. Yay for crappy movie titles that don't really mean anything. Stamos stars as Robert's brother Andrew, also murdered not long after Robert in a sensational manner, while Robin Tunney does the honours as Nancy Kissel. Who would've thought, Uncle Jesse and that girl from Empire Records. Anyway, I'm buying it now off Amazon since I have no hope of finding it in my dodgy DVD store. If you want to borrow it, let me know.

Also on the list of Kissel-related items with bad titles -- A Family Cursed: The Kissel Dynasty, a Gilded Fortune, and Two Brutal Murders. I want to get it too but there isn't a Kindle version and I'm not sure I should spend any more money chasing the truth behind this scandalous killing.

Gone Cuckoo

I'm of the extremely small group of people that aren't as enthralled with Angry Birds as the rest of the world but I suspect it's merely coz I'm more of a tower defense kinda girl. Which reminds me, I have another iPhone game to introduce to you all but more on that in another post. Anyway, for those who are in love with Angry Birds, yes ShoeGeek I'm specifically talking to you, maybe these would be some good Christmas gifts to put on your wish list. Limited edition Angry Bird plush toys. Available for pre-order now for US$14.99. Once these ship, I fully expect to see YouTube bombarded with home videos of the real life Angry Birds plushies attacking the evil pigs. Pre-order them now at TopWiz.

Enough is Enough


I cannot post today more than this because I am deeply engrossed in the wretchedly compelling words of one Mr Joe McGinnis, author of Never Enough, the richly seedy true crime novel that exposes all the sordid details of the Nancy Kissel murder. Hongkongers here in 2003 will remember the case well; our very own OJ-level murder mystery. And while I constantly berate myself for subjecting my brain to such horribly sensational truth-stretching drivel, it's made owning a Kindle well worth the price. I need to have this book at all times until it is completely devoured. If, like me, you were more riveted by this case than you are by your own love life, you need to get it. Read it with a quickness, it's the only way to escape the pain of McGinnis' annoying, Anglo-centric, one-dimensional and repetitive voice. This is the guy who until recently was stalking Sarah Palin. And he thought the Kissels were creepy.

Get it at Amazon. Thanks to the lovely Katie for the recommendation. I love you and hate you at the same time for it. Fancy a milkshake?
