“The custom ROM is available everywhere, but only Galaxy Nexus official ROM provides the real and only Butter Project, of which is smoother and faster.” said Benny Lee, a retired corporate, and now tech enthusiast, at MobileFest September Meet. While I was searching for the new experience of Jelly Bean, I could only rely on [...]
Not a fan of HP products. I remember the very first aboutcom’s laptop that we bought for myself was a Compaq, which was already owned by HP when we got it. I remember the endless trips to HP service centre then located in Damansara Heights, long q, terrible customer service. One thing for sure it [...]
During discussion with CWA and CIMB this afternoon, I received a call from a very well known listed company owner and chairman, asking if I have received his email, sent by his secretary. Not to be rude to him while we were in serious money and financial discussion, I politely informed him that from the [...]
We woke up before 5am and left the house before 6am, arrived at Sentul Park before 6:30am. But the traffic was very heavy especially on the way to Alive Together Easter Sunrise Service 2011. Since we came prepared (with our running and walking shoes), we parked the car in VIVA Residency and walked over to [...]
Just when you are thinking about me ‘tasting’ a new berry, you may stop that now. The berry is black, it is my new BlackBerry Torch 9800. BlackBerry Torch 9800 is running on RIM’s latest OS – version 6.0. At a glance, I do not see nor feel difference at all with this new OS, [...]
Just received the clip and uploaded it
While hanging out with Elijah, Ariel and Inez at the park earlier, Elijah fell twice while riding the AirSurfer. I asked him during the first fall, “Are you ok?” “Don’t worry dad, I am fine.” He got up and continued to surf. He fell again for the second time, this time harder, as his glasses [...]
While in Phuket, one thing we noticed a huge difference is the timing. Maybe we are different time zone, but when the tour agency for the Phi Phi Island trip mentioned five minutes, it was actually half an hour. Other than the Westin Airport transfers which were very on time, the rest of the timing [...]
While our sons were about four, we sent them few times in a year to visit their grandmother in Johor Bahru. They will travel alone via MAS, as AirAsia does not take in minor travel unaccompanied. First time when our sons went to Johor Bahru, we did not get the return ticket. As we thought [...]
My first smartphone was Palm Tungsten W and Retna was Plam Treo600. We skipped 650 and went to Treo680 later, of which still one of my favorite smartphone till date. Even though the interface compares to the current OS now is pretty low, but it served the purpose of multitasking at that time. I could [...]
Although it took some weeks for it to arrive. But seems to worth the wait. After the recent MobileFest meet held at KL Convention Centre, I spoke to Retna about trying the webOS, she said why not. And I immediately made an order online at Expansys. The price fluctuates daily according to the currency exchange. [...]
While not feeling to work at home, recorded this instead. Thanks to Ariel for some back ground voice, he found out about it when he heard me singing.
After breakfast on Wednesday morning, we brought the entire family to Tugu Negara (National Monument), situated next to the Malaysian Parliament building. It was quite an experience as this is one place where my parents have brought us to when I was four, my first year in Kuala Lumpur, after shifted from Bukit Mertajam, after [...]
The MobileFest (@MyMobileFest) meet @GoMobile was took place on Saturday, November 13, 2010. Thanks to Bernard of Mobile World and ComTechAsia, the organiser of GoMobile, for hosting us at the activity room. The expo is pretty busy especially with many deals going on from various telcos and some showcase of mobile solutions like TV via [...]
I remember my parents told me this, “You will know who is your friend when the trouble comes.” My father said that to me while he recovered from his business venture which just gone down. Later in life, I heard from him again, “No matter what happens, never forsake the family. Be it good times [...]
1Malaysia Hand Hygiene Month was extended to the folks at Semasa Sentral or better known as KL Sentral on the end of October. The hand hygiene workshop was organised by Antabax, presented by Hospital Sungai Buloh and attended by the team from KL Sentral and tenants. Very informative session as the attendees learn about importance [...]
Kaspersky Lab Malaysia will be organising a meet the brand ambassador on Thursday, October 28, 2010 at Plaza Low Yat. Well, if you are not a badminton fan (definitely minority in the country), and your computer is yet to be protected by anti-virus nor internet security solution, you could head to Plaza Low Yat. From [...]
My first ever media review, cost me some pain (and hair too). Thanks Asohan, for the invitation to attend Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 earlier. Besides got to learn about the Office for Mac 2011 (which I like some of the features such as broadcast slideshow and Outlook for Mac, still I like Mac Mail [...]
We missed this week home fellowship. We celebrated Vai’s birthday instead. Vai is Vishan’s sister, Elijah and Ariel’s cousins. Also the time for Inez to meet grandma again two days after her birthday. It was a rather long day for both Retna and I at work. Trying to complete as much work as possible, and [...]
Sons asked us why their birthday month is after Inez, why not before. We explained to them about the pregnancy and conceiving process, and where their parents had the honey month. Well, the rest of the details, you got to figure it out. While getting he dining table organised, we took the above picture of [...]
Inez, also means pure, holy, blessed, derived from Spanish. In Spain, Inez would be written as Inés. The ‘s’ is being replaced by ‘z’ in English. To have her name easier to be spelled, we decided to let our daughter to have the ‘z’. She came after our twin sons were eight. Many asked us [...]
Just discovered a shortfall for Apple Magic Trackpad – the wet fingers. I do not have wet palms, nor wet fingers, but after I washed my hands, I found it a bit hard to use Magic Trackpad, unless I have absolutely dried my fingers. Not sure those with wet palms would have the similar problem. [...]
I first checked the Apple Malaysia online store for Magic Trackpad, was informed the shipment would take three to four weeks. On top of that, since the item costs below RM250, I would have to top up additional RM30 for the shipment. Seriously, Apple should consider having this shipment fee waived. It completely defeat the [...]
I love Sophie Ellis Bextor, especially Murder on the Dance Floor. Thanks to Retna for introducing to this exciting music. So, ever encountered brand murderers? After 8 years with About Communication (aboutcom), occasionally we seen some. But not very often. However, when we seen one, it could be disastrous to both the brand as well [...]
Received the above e-mail alert from DiGi. If you are planning to get one iPhone, check the link on how to register or buy it. I am looking forward to the arrival of Torch (although I shared with Sunny yesterday that might not want to get it).
