Editor’s Note:
Hello, readers!
It’s been quite an interesting week, and with Chinese New Year and Valentines’ Day almost upon us, we’ve been working to get ready for the onslaught of red hearts wherever we go! We tell you where you can Rent A Boyfriend For Valentines’ and CNY, or the apps we should have ready this Chinese New Year!
It’s also been an intense week for social media with one of the longest Facebook And Instagram downtimes in a while, which may or may not be caused by the infamous Lizard Squad (depending on who you ask), who were also responsible for the hacking of Malaysia Airlines’ Website. One of our writers even did a social experiment to see what girls actually experience on chat messaging apps, and it doesn’t look pretty. And which underground Malaysian eatery was wiped out by a Facebook fail?
We also speak to some amazing people, including Nadia Rahmat, the new face of Marc Jacobs, Natacha Noel, the Power Woman behind S’pore-based app MeetDrinks, the food-loving team behind FoodAdvisor Malaysia.
And if you’re in Singapore and haven’t participated in our Six Word Love Story Contest, then you’re clearly missing out! Squeeze out those creative juices, submit your entry, and get your friends to like it – the number of likes largely contributes to the winner! You could walk away with some GV Gold Class tickets, couple spa vouchers courtesy of Page Pink, or Zalora vouchers!
Let’s get going!
