Star Awards 2009
Host of the night, Quan Yi Feng and Guo Liang in forefront.
Best Actress and Best Actor winners
The men were all clad in classic 3-piece suit, and Chen Han Wei shone the brightest with his contrastingly piped shirt and white semi-formal shoes. There was this particular Taiwanese star, Ethan Ruan Jin Tian, who we thought really rocked the outfit in a greyish-blue suit.
Best Actor spotted with Special Award winner, Huang Biren
Belinda wins best programme host for info-ed, and worst-dressed Felicia Chin gets into top 10.
As for worst-dressed...
It has got to be Felicia Chin and Gurmit Singh (this is not a joke), it's really atrocious.
Comedians: Patricia Mok and Gurmit Singh
New Urban Male, Singapore [NUMtee edition]
The Lust Supper,
(Hainanese Chicken Rice and Bak Kut Teh are famous local dishes)
The brand infamous for their tanned and sporty 235 guys (sales assistance), not only prints tongue-in-cheek lines on their housebrand of NUMtees, but also make them so close-to-our-hearts with their "Ang Mo Kio", "Yishun", "Holland Village" estate party tank, that makes it hard to not take a second look.
Didn't we tell you that only the locals would get it?
Politics, arts, and lifestyle, are all being translated into wearable items, almost like the designer's way of expressing his views about our society on his cotton canvases.
Even the hit musical Avenue Q's provocative tagline like "the Internet is for Porn" cannot escape from Shenzi Chua's creative clutches.

Celebrate Mother Nature: Happy Earth Day!
It’s Earth Day: Time to celebrate all the richness Mother Earth has to offer, while doing our part in protecting it. We all know that when something is forced upon us, the likelihood that we’ll participate is slim to none, but here are some fun facts about this phenomenal movement that might get you to think twice:
- Founded by a Wisconsin Senator, Earth Day was first celebrated in 1970 and had 20 million Americans participating.
- By recycling one aluminum can, you can save enough energy to watch 3 hours of TV
- If every newspaper were recycled, 250,000,000 trees would be saved
Still not motivated? Perhaps because you may feel that participating involves a lot of added time to your already hectic schedule; however here are some quick, easy and fun tips on how you, too, can “go green”
At home:
1) Carpool to work- not only do you save money on gas but you also enjoy the company of others all in the name of goodwill! And if possible, walk! It’s great for your body, mind and spirit.
2) Turn off anything you are not using including computers, lights, etc.
3) Plant a tree in your backyard! While your property value increases, greenhouse gases decrease!
At work:
1) Eliminate unnecessary photocopying.
2) Encourage e-mailing instead of using paper.
As a consumer:
Shop online instead of driving to your nearest store! With so many great discounts to choose from it’s a win-win situation. Roaman’s for example, the fashion leader for plus-size women is offering a 50% off all Knit tops, tees and tunics- a great sale that usually happens only twice a year! Such huge savings during these hard economic times is a nice relief! So sit back- enjoy the savings and shop online!
With so much to do’s in our schedule, wouldn’t it be nice today to mark off the box titled “make a difference on Earth Day?” You can do it and the earth will thank you!

More to Love: The new face of "The Bachelor"
Up until this point, “The Bachelor” has been nothing short of a Hollywood story- filled with contestants who are skinny, beautiful and flawless and who always get what they want. Unfortunately, the real dating scene is much more challenging than reality TV would like us to believe- the average Joe is not always tall, dark and handsome and the average Jane is usually more than a size 0. Well, it’s time to root for all the Mr. Joes and Ms. Janes out there! We at Roaman’s are especially excited about the show and look forward to its premiere! It’s about time beautiful, bold and confident women who are more than a size 0 receive the national attention they deserve.
Let’s just hope that once he chooses his leading lady, that he doesn’t have a change of ‘contestant’ heart.
Tell us what you think about the up and coming “More to Love”
