Yes, it's a cricket!
Family Gryllidae, subfamily Trigonidiinae (Pygmy bush crickets), genus probably Trigonidium (which is also a genus of Orchids, so if you google pictures on this name you'll see a lot of flowers passing by! :-)).
Greetings,

Yeah, it is cute. Not many would dare to mention that though :)
Thanks Gerard. Indeed, I did get many flower pcs with google images ;).
