Help Carl Jones find his luggage!

Advertorial

Guess what I've got here with me!

It's shiny, it's a bright, gorgeous red and it's called the Cube Alfa!

Yes it's my all new AMERICAN TOURISTER luggage! :D :D

I've been wanting a new luggage for ages. Wanted a big one to share with Mike when we go on holidays and the only big one I have is pink, which is too embarrassing for him to wheel around.

In case you haven't heard of the brand before, the brand American Tourister has been around since 1933. They are a trusted household brand for luggage thanks to their high quality and durable products. They are even the first brand to offer luggage tags! And amazingly enough, Mike's dad gave him one of those luggage tags. It has been in use in their family since Mike was 8 years old!

That's 21 years ago and it lasted till today. Seriously. It's currently hanging on our wardrobe knob. Don't ask me why, it just ended up there.

I had a hard time picking the colour for my Cube Alfa:

It comes in super cute colours! I wanted the orange and the blue-green. Didn't care about the black and green.


It also comes in 3 different sizes and the best thing about it is that it comes with a TSA approved lock:

Did you know that the TSA sometimes opens up luggage to check on their contents? 

If you lock your luggage, they will cut your lock open! So horrible! But with a TSA approved lock, the authorities will have a special key to open the lock so your luggage is safe from potential thieves yet won't be ruined by security checks.

Another thing I love about the Cube Alfa? Most hard shell luggage comes with clip fasteners but this is zipped! The flap around the zip is soft rubber so it won't hurt your hands while zipping.

I don't like the clips on hard luggage coz they sometimes are not properly secured. They just trick you into thinking they are, then spill your contents everywhere!! GRRRR

The rest of the luggage is made of 100% polycarbonate. No idea what that is but I suppose it's strong and everything! And best of all, super lightweight! :D

And I love 4 wheeled luggage. Seriously, 2 wheels should be obselete by now!

Here's the inside

With me beside it for size comparison. Just kidding. I'm posting this up coz my legs look fab in the picture. TYTYTY

(Also don't need to keep looking if I zao geng ok I went to darken the area so it looks like a shadow lol)

But of course, if you do win...

It would be a bit ungrateful and assholey to go to your holiday with anything but an American Tourister luggage, correct or not? LOLOL

As for me, I'm going on my holiday to Hongkong and Otaru (on the 14th till 20th) with my brand new luggage!

I'd be sad if it gets scratched. :( It's so pretty and shiny now.

Blinged up berry

YO!!

Promised to show you guys how my blinged up blackberry torch looks like so here's a video + some photos!!

Apparently because I uploaded the video with a song the video cannot be viewed in Germany or on mobile. Sorry! If you are on mobile, you can still see the video when you are back on a computer. Just see photos for now lah!!!

Photos!!

My camera takes a photo with every video recorded (I don't know why) so here's are two of the photos. Edited, of course. If you are very free you can try to find the screenshot and examine the difference. LOL

In case you are wondering... YES the bling does make the phone quite heavy! But worth it. :D

Rainbow keyboard

Also... erm... I got something to confess... Some of you might have already guessed from looking at the Photo of the Moment...

Small voice:








I bought an iPhone.



Yes yes hypocrite etc. But anyway let me explain myself. I'm still using the blackberry as my main phone. It's my communications device and in terms of everything communication wise, it is still far superior to the iPhone. Things like email, chats (be it bbm or msn or even whatsapp, which is free on the bb and gives you free emoji), calls, twitter, or smses. Afterall, the blackberry has an awesome keyboard. I LOVE tapping away on that keyboard.

But the time has come where I can no longer deny that when it comes to artistic matters like snapping nice pictures or fun things like playing games, the iPhone is better.

There are so many ridiculously good photography apps. And there is a front facing camera. C'mon. A freaking front facing camera. A camwhorer's dream. I've been begging BB to come out with that for AGES.

Like this... taken with the iphone. Can you fucking believe it? They have freaking LIQUIFY on the phone. :( Sad face because I love the blackberry. I am on Team Blackberry. But why don't they have awesome apps like this?

(My fav photography apps: 美图秀秀, makeover (the liquify app, although it's not very good but better than nothing), idarkroom, Princess Camera. I don't like instagram or histamatic because they make my photos cropped square)

So. To conclude I bought the iphone because Starhub has this awesome thing where you pay an extra $5 a month and you get a secondary sim card! You can use the second sim card in another phone and since my 3G plan is unlimited I can have 3G on both the BB and the iPhone! :D :D :D

All calls and smses will go to the primary phone (BB), but I can still send out smses and make calls on the secondary phone if I want to. It's awesome!

Gmasked the iPhone pink and blinging a matching ribbon on it.

With the BB

Here's how the back looks like!!

That's a Juicy Couture sticker in case you are wonder who G and P is. Founders of Juicy Couture.

I finished blinging the iPhone too but I didn't bother to snap pics of the end result yet. Next time!!
