For my birthday, about four years ago, a friend, a girl, called me up and asked me out to present a gift. I was then somewhere in Java, having lived there for a couple of months already. In the phonecall, she told me to bring spare pair of pants, t-shirt and wear sandals instead of shoes. Now this girl-friend of mine, she is a tourist guide. No, not the type that brings you to zoos, museums and shopping malls, but rather, the type that make you lug your backpack and walk 5 kilometers into a jungle to reach your cabin for the night…

So I thought, finally, I am going to be at the beach, or the very least, a river! I mean, coming from an island like Singapore, I do get restless when I settle in a place where I don’t see a lot of water for a couple of weeks!

She came to pick me up with her bike. And off we go…

We reached the base of a hill and she pointed a dark green spot amongst the trees up above. She said, “That is where we are going.”

To cut the story short… I later found myself at the mouth of a cave filled with water that would reach up to my nostrils…

I came out on the other end after one full hour traversing this dark, wet and dangerous birthday gift of mine, but it was and adventure and gift that I have and never will forget…

I am praying that Asia Video Club is such a cave… Spooky at as I enter yet unforgettable as I leave…

Now… let’s be friends!

The AVC team got really bored of our current menu so we decided to change it.

So, if you’ve called Asia Video Club on your mobile recently (1900 914 8221), you will be greeted by not only our new cool interface but also our new Video DJ, Adele. Adele is our friendly new face to make your video blogging experience more fun! Our talent scout found this babe walking along Orchard Road in Singapore and got our video team to put her into the menu. Here is a photo of us doing the video shoot for the mobile video menu. Watch this space as we bring you a special interview with our new Video DJ, Adele!

Oh, by the way, after all the hard work, the AVC team is definitely sure that you will love our new video menu and our website. If you have any comments or feedback on any of this, feel free to email me at iceburn@8streams.com.

Catch ya guys later!

Hi everyone,

It’s great to be here to blog about myself and what I’m currently doing behind the scene of Delcie’s Desserts.

Just a little introduction, I’m the pastry chef a.k.a Pâtissier, the art director, the financial controller as well as the business developer for Delcie’s Desserts

The name, Delcie, was given by my mom since birth. It was such a coincidence that when I did a looked up on Babynameworld.com, Delcie means “sweet” in Latin. So, as a brand name for my desserts business, I believe it will be able to run for years and people will still be able to associate it to sweets and cakes.

Well, to find out more about me, make a simple 3G video call to AVC (User ID 101168) or log on to my desserts website at www.delciesdesserts.com

Have fun and enjoy!

Cheers,
Delcie

[21 Aug] Jenny played detective and spied on Vince with another girl.

[19 July] Get a closer look at pretty Lynn!! Her BF Vince also showed up in Jenny’s blog.

[11 July] Overcome by joys but would that lead to a disappointment for Jenny? You get to see Lawrence playing guitar & serenading. May be he is worthy of Jenny after all.

[8 July] Jenny got her attractive housemate, Lynn in her video blog. Now you can see why she admires Lynn …

[3 July] Guess what Jenny got for her birthday? It wasn’t a very happy day for her. She recorded her feelings and hoped that someday that special someone would get to see it.
