Arissa Luna aka Arissa Cheo or Zhen Shan, born in Singapore on 30th June 1986 , currently live in Los Angeles, California, United State.
Arissa Luna is the girl mentioned by Xiaxue in her cyber blog war with Dawn Yang.
Here is what Xiaxue said about Arissa Luna:
Arissa (Zhen Shan) is a Singaporean girl who is studying in the states. She’s extremely pretty, and comes from a very wealthy family.
She is 100% natural, and a friend of mine. Not close, but we do sometimes talk a bit online.
Since Arissa was in secondary school, according to KK, she was already infamous in Singapore. Already gorgeous since a young age, all the boys school and girls school people of their batch know her – and I dunno if KK is exaggerating as usual or not la, but she was saying how Arissa’s features were perfect and she has naturally rosy cheeks that glow and be seen from a distance… etc etc.
Arissa’s not only gorgeous, her lifestyle is enviable. She has all the gorgeous brands, hangs out with loads of famous people, and was in Vanness’s MTV too.
Not only that, she has immense style and character. She’s not your traditional shu nu. AND she is nice and smart.
Why is Zhen Shan not a famous celebrity yet? My guess is that she doesn’t crave it.
Does Dawn Yang look like Arissa Cheo?

Levin Angsana, 22-year-old Singapore Management University (SMU) first-year student, is an Indonesian who is a Singapore permanent resident.
A group of five SMU Sailing Club students went out to sea off Raffles Marina at 1pm on Thursday to train on a 24-footer keel boat.
Levin Angsana had been reaching over to try to retrieve the boat’s sail, which had been caught by a gust of wind and had ended up in the water. He tried to get near the back of the boat where it was easier to climb back in, but failed.
The skipper, ex-national sailor Renfred Tay, 23, jumped in and managed to grab him, but Levin Angsana apparently kept struggling. When Renfred Tay tried to grab a life jacket a short distance away, Levin Angsana went under.
None of the crew were wearing life jackets.
The Maritime and Port Authority is conducting the ongoing search, and the police are assisting.
