Looks cool, Sim City (PC game) fans will like it for sure. Unfortunately it doesn’t provide much advantage over 2D maps; and it’s probably easier to navigate the traditional two dimensional maps.

Isabella, 21, and HKG billionaire Richard Li, 42, started their relationship in March 2008. There were rumours in early 2009 that the actress was pregnant, but nobody took it seriously.

Come to think of it… it’s probably the main reason why her ex-agency EEG had softened over their contract dispute; the company must have realised about the fact (probably told by Richard) and was made to reach the settlement deal in November 2008.

The baby’s name is Ethan Li Changzhi (loose translation). Best wishes.

Jill and rumoured singer-boyfriend Kelvin Kwan (later released) were arrested in Tokyo on Feb 24 for marijuana possession; the cops later found more illegal drugs, believe to be heroin, from Jill’s hotel luggage.

It’s still uncertain if Jill would be charged for drug possession or drug smuggling; the earlier is likely to get her a parole (or max one year jail term), but the later could send her into jail for a much longer period.

Btw, it’s Jill’s 27th birthday tomorrow (Apr 13); obviously won’t be a happy one.

[Update] The verdict is out – Jill is set on parole for three years, which means if she doesn’t need to serve her two-years jail term if she doesn’t do anything really stupid in the three-years period.

The Indonesian maid is believed to be disturbed because of a broken relationship; she has pressed a knife on her own neck at some point but Sonija managed to persuade her to hand over the knife.

Sonija then made a report to the police; and the maid gone berserk after finding out the call and assaulted the actress, pulling her hair and biting her left arm.

Sonija’s mother tried to pull away the maid, and the trio wrestled for five minutes before the police arrived and restrained the maid.
