Where Got Hot Zombies?

Our favourite video right now is the movie Shaun of the Dead. They call it a RomZom- a romantic comedy movie with zombies. It's been one of the most hilarious things we've seen in ages.

Set in modern-day London, Shaun goes about his daily life, trying to keep his boss, roommates, mum and girlfriend happy... until his daily life becomes filled with walking death! Look for it in a DVD store near you.

WhereGotHot Elephants?

Spend Saturday evening at the Substation learning about "The Plight of the Asian Elephant". There's also an "eco-friendly" car wash available for $8 (we're wondering if it's going to be done by elephants).

The talk starts at 7:30pm and is free, though donations are welcome. Turn up beforehand for refreshments, and see what the carwash is all about.

Send an email to grant@singapore.com to confirm your attendance.

Where Got Hot Books?


You were afraid to admit it before. You don't even want to talk about it now. When people have asked you where you've been, you say nothing. Well, if you're tired of keeping your secret, there's good news: You don't need to be ashamed of going to the library anymore!

The new library is now a Hot place to be- and they want you to say so! Until May 9th, you can enter the "Celebrating Libraries" contest. Just click below, and tell them why you like the library. You could win an iPod Nano, 3G Mobile Phone, or a stay at Cafe Vic. And you thought the library was only good for free books.

Where Got Hot Chocolate

Can't wait for the Easter Bunny to bring you chocolate but too lazy to leave to house. Rest easy: There are lots of people willing to ship it to you. Order by Thurday at the latest from Godiva to receive your chocolate eggs by Easter.

We also like the special edition creations offered from La Maison du Chocolat. Look for them in France, England and the U.S.

Where Got Hot Jewels


You've seen it on the streets, but never seem to spot it in the shops: Great jewelry. Maybe you've even started to wonder whether these women have some kind of secret source, a private supplier of premium bling. Well, guess what- it's true! Ours is Ateh Modus, a brand created by Ruslana Zitserman, who's been designing jewelry professionally since 1999. A lot of her line uses silver, and many pieces include unusual stones and rare jewels. Look for her latest designs at: Ateh Modus Tell her we sent you.

Where Got Hot Global Shopping Info?

Ever stepped off a plane in a city that's new to you, only to wish that you had a friend there who could tell you about all the cool places to shop, eat, shop, hang or shop (did we say shop?)? Well look no further than the Super Future website! From what we can see, half of it is basically a big web forum where "superbored global shopping experts" can give and get shopping tips. The other half of the site gives a city by city review of its top shops. Visit them before you visit abroad.

Where Got Hot Arts?

OK, so the Singapore Arts Festival isn't until June, so why are we telling you about it now? Because there aren't many days left to be super kiasu and grab the cheapest ticket package. If you aren't sure what to see, go here, and take the Arts Personality Test (the results will recommend what you might like). If you know what you like, then don't wait to book, lah, or some other super kiasu person might beat you to the show.

Where Got Hot Food Blogs?


Where do we go when we want to eat with our eyes, and read food descriptions that make us want to push back from our computers and race to the kitchen (or sometimes other people's kitchens)? Start local with Chubby Hubby or Mediasushi, and the spread out from there, from the Chocolate and Zucchini of France to Too Many Chefs in the US, and wherever else its bloggers roam. We will not be held responsible for any drool that might drip onto your computers.

WhereGotHot Shots?

We've just dusted off our handycam, and wanted an easy way to edit our results. OK, we wanted a way to have our results edited for us- which is exactly what muvee's software does! They offer lots of templates for editing regular video like ours, as well as video you shoot with your camera phone. They can also create a montage out of still pictures. If you've never tried it before, give it a shot.

Got photos? Let the award-winning muvee autoProducer transform your photos and raw videos into a stunning production.

WhereGotHot Box?


How did we miss this shop before? Is it too much of a hole in the wall? Or should we say 'box'? InQbox is a shop in Far East Plaza, featuring the wares of a variety of designers and entrepreneurs each in their own little box. The displayers save money on floor space, and we get to see a bunch of cool things at once. Watch this space for announcements of the new locations they'll be opening soon. In the meantime, head over to see who's already thinking out of the box .
