Image She was made a household name since winning Malaysian Idol. But there is more to that for this petite singer with a big voice. MW invites her over for a chat (coffee provided, of course).
 
What kind of phone do you own?
I am currently using Nokia. I have always been a fan because it is quite practical and very user-friendly.

Which phone are you eyeing next?
I am really looking forward to the iPhone as I already am a Mac user.

Any mishaps happened to any of your phones?
My phone was stolen 2 Aprils ago in Thailand. That was a bummer as I lost all my contacts numbers.
How important is your mobile phone?
My phones are so important to me that I never never turn them off. If I am out at work without a charger in hand and my battery dies, I am completely lost. Basically my phones are my life.

Are you into mobile games?
I used to be quite into mobile games but not anymore... Plus I don’t really have the time anymore.

What other gadgets do you own?
My second favourite gadget is my iPod which I couldn’t live without, closely followed by my digital camera because I love to take pictures. I also totally love my MacBook.

Image How many contacts do you have in your phone book?
Bout 1500+-. I am not kidding.

On average how many SMS do you send a day?
It depends what the occasion is... Some days none (very very seldom) and there are times when I send out sms’s to everyone in my phones contacts list.

Do you know how to MMS?
Yes I am a mobile freak, I know all... Ha ha

Have you been scammed via SMS?
Fortunately, no.

Do you accessorize your phone?

I am not a girly girl (;p) I don’t accessorize.

Are you into downloading mobile content?
Ohh yes... I get bored with whatever I download pretty quickly though.

Image Tell us a bit about yourself.
I think everybody knows the Malaysian Idol story and have probably heard enough about that... I am basically happy with my life and yes I do love my tech toys and gadgets ;D

How has it been like in the music industry?
It has been an amazing journey... difficult to put into very few words. All I can say is that I am enjoying myself thoroughly. I am doing what I love the most and hopefully making a lot of people happy in the process. Now who can ask for anything more?

Any experiences with weird fans?
I have lots of great loving fans and lots of good experiences... So far I have been lucky, I have not had any bad experiences, but saying that I am always very careful.

What do you look forward to do in the future?

I would really like to collaborate with some, if not, just one of my all time idols. I am dreaming very big aren’t I? Oh well, I don’t see any harm in that.
Let’s talk about Internet lifestyle for a while.
Image Are you a keen user?
Oh yes... I love surfing the net and doing stuff online. The Internet is a wonderful way for keeping in touch with friends and family; looking for stuff and blah blah... but you already know this...

Do you have a website?
Yes I do... www.jaclynvictor.net. It has a forum where you can make new friends and just have fun.

What do you think about new media, e.g. blogs, Youtube and such?
At their best, these are a wonderful way to communicate and express ones opinion/experiences... and at their worst, can be a platform for extreme views and material. I think we all have a responsibility to use these kind of media positively.

Lastly, how do you unwind after a long day at work?
I like to just throw myself onto the sofa in front of the telly or my Mac ;D
