ASUS Zenfone Max

So excited to share with you all that I just received ASUS ZenFone Max! It's my first time in many years using a phone that is not running on IOS system so I'm looking forward to see what ASUS ZenFone Max can bring to me.

Today it the third day since I received it and one feature of it I must compliment would be its powerful battery life.

I've only charged it once since I received it and it still has 82% as I'm typing this out. With its 5000 mAh capacity lithium-polymer battery, ASUS ZenFone Max is able to provide up to 38 days of standby for an unprecedented amount of mobile freedom.

Compared to the leading competitor’s flagship smartphone, ASUS ZenFone Max's 5000mAh battery offers 2.3X-better talk time and up to 2.7X as much time spent browsing the web. This translates to up to 37.6 hours of high-clarity calls and up to 32.5 hours of websurfing!

Another attractive feature would be its ability to charge other phones. On the first day I receive it, I used it to power my iPhone as I forgot to charge that the night before. I'm really glad for this function as it would mean that I do not need to carry any power bank in future.

Despite being only 5.2mm, ASUS ZenFone Max is powered by a powerful quad-core, 64-bit Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 410 processor, features LTE Category 4 for fast mobile-download speeds up to 150Mbps!

I'm very in love with the champagne gold sides coupled with the black glossy screen of my phone as it made the phone feels luxurious to the touch.



If you are worried of scratches on your screen or is a bit of a butter fingers like me, you will be glad to know that ASUS ZenFone Max is protected by Corning ® Gorilla ® Glass 4.

Corning ® Gorilla ® Glass 4, being the latest ingenious creation from the world-renowned Corning, is able to offer twice (2X) the drop-damage resistance of its predecessor, a 2.5x increase in retained strength and is 85% less likely to break in daily use.

*Note: phone has a black glossy screen but I edited the colors of the above photo slightly and hence it appeared to be mattified.

Having a 13MP Pixel Master rear camera with a f/2.0-aperture lens, ASUS ZenFone Max is capable of capturing high resolution photos with zero shutter lag. It also has a low light mode which I'm really excited to try out as this would mean having prettier photos without the glare of a flash in low light settings.

Its front camera has 5 MP f/2.0-aperture,  85-degree wide-angle lens and of course, the most attractive feature is its beautification mode which I can use to take beautiful selfies with!

Whether you are looking for a phone to complement casual or business attire, ASUS ZenFone Max comes in Pure White and Osmium black, which are the colors that will never go wrong!

ASUS Zenfone Max will be available from 10 March 2016 at 10 March at IT show, ASUS brand stores, ASUS authorised dealers, Singtel, and StarHub at an affordable price of $249.

Of course, I cannot conclude much about the phone with only three days of usage, I'll

Maifest 2016

As an intern, I wait all week for Fridays!!

Yesterday, ChiewXuan and I headed to La Nonna@ Holland Village as I have a food voucher thanks to the entertainer's app which I will blog about in the next post.

While we were eating, we could see that the streets outside had something exciting going on- loud music, photobooths and many game booths!

When we finished, we headed out and learned that MaiFest was going on!

Well, ChiewXuan and I had never heard of MaiFest but we guessed it was sort of a beer fest!

After reading about it, I learned that it was celebrated for the forth year in Singapore this year!

What is "Maifest" about?

Maifest originated from Brenham in Germany, and has been celebrated every eat since 1881.

After a long and cold winter, the revival of nature's life is the reason for this festival to celebrate the new harvesting season. Being a festival that had a religious significance at first, it became more joyful and colourful, embedding itself as a cultural event to look out for.

Some of the interesting activities planned was definitely the photobooth, where both of us grabbed a few shots and received a free instant printout!

To make up for the night setting, a ring light was set up too. Kudos to the organizers for such thoughtful planning!

After taking our photos, we walked around to explore more of the booths.

 One of the games that attracted a large crowd was the "Gelande Quaffing". The queue was too long so we did not participate but here's the game rules if you're interested.

As we head further down the street, we saw another game booth- "Stand A Bottle Up". Since the queue was not that long, we attempted at it.

If you've added me on snapchat (@christinenglt), you would have seen my attempt at it:p <do add me if you haven't!>

Basically, this game involves you using a rod with a ring attached by a string; to lift the empty beer bottle up in 30seconds.

Well, it sounded impossible to me, looked impossible to me, but it was definitely not impossible when I tried it. I managed to lift the bottle up after about 25 seconds.

Chiewxuan was probably a born expert in this and she did it at slight past 10seconds!! Even the person who timed her was amazed.

And of course, we received our attractive prizes!

The prizes included a cup of ice cold refreshing beer, a cup of bangers and mash, entry to a bar nearby where we can enjoy one-for-one beer all night as well as an event flower crown.

For One-For-One beer!

Other than this game, there was a booth providing German Hair Braiding.

Such a pity that I had short hair else I might give this a shot.

Not far away from the hair braiding store, we also saw people competing in the Stein Hoisting booth, where four men had to compete to see who could hold two glasses of beer the longest. The record timing was 19:05 when we saw it and I really wonder whether any machos broke the record after we left.

So this is just a short update on how I celebrated my Friday night :) 

How did you enjoy your Friday night?

Thank for reading <3

Beauty Hope

Was rather skeptical about receiving another facial treatment sponsorship due to my skin peel the previous round and hence, I waited quite a while before I accepted this sponsorship! 

But man I did not regret it!

It was my second week of intern when I headed for the treatment. At that point of time, the only issue with my skin was that I found it slightly dull and hence, for this session, I chose to have Power source face lightening treatment with Beauty Hope.

Beauty Hope gave me a homely feel and the furnishings felt warming to the heart along with a tinge of sweetness.

Having achieved so many awards for the past few years, I was confident that I'll walk out of Beauty Hope feeling satisfied and prettier hehe.

So let the facial begin!

First thing, we started with skin consultation to know if I'm suitable for the skin treatment as it involves laser. Skin that received chemical peel in the past month are strongly advised not to go ahead with the treatment as it will be too sensitive for the treatment.

The consultant also advised me the skin routines I should take after the treatment which involves not applying any product containing AHA acids such as lactic and glycolic acid after the treatment. 

Also, I was advised against products with Vit C content as it might cause discoloration of the skin.

And let the treatment begin!

Ofc, before any treatment, the skin had to be cleanse!

So this is how my skin looks like after cleansing, without any make up or filter!

Next, a peeling product was applied to my skin to remove dead skin and comedones.

As I still have slightly clogged pores with blackheads, I was advised to undergo extraction.

And here comes the star of the treatment.... The Power Source Face Lightening machine!!

A gel was applied to the face to protect the skin and facilitate the treatment.

Well, I can say that the laser was totally painless because I ACUALLY FELL ASLEEP.

and urm.. my photos during the laser were all very unglam and this photo below is actually the most glam because my mouth wasn't open that big LOL.
I felt so embarrassed when I saw the photos omg.

After the laser,  the skin is rather delicate and Beauty Hope gave me a hydrating treatment so that the skin will be well protected and hydrated!

Another product was applied!

The hydrating machine had an ultrasonic metal head and the cooling properties of the metal made my skin felt very soothed. This process is really the best part of the treatment *.*

Then we had a quick massage..

And lastly, a mask was applied to end off this wonderful treatment!

Uneven eyes but my skin is glowing in here!

Walking out of Beauty Hope barefaced and still feeling good!

Other than the facial, Beauty Hope also sponsored me a silk mask!

When I opened the mask, it consisted of 3 layers.

The middle layer was the actual silk mask!

The mask was very moisturizing but I felt that it was a little too oily for me!

Overall, I would rate this facial experience as follow:

Aesthetics:  7.5/10

Location: 8/10

Service:9.5/10

Products:8.5/10

My skin remained good and soft for at least two weeks and hence, I'm happy to say that the treatment really worked and the softness after the facial was not just an effect of the products used! I find the after effects of facial to be most important because everyone can see your skin when you're outside, not when you're doing your facial!

If you want to try out the same facial treatment as I did, feel free to drop by any one of their two outlets!
