• Misc: TouchWiz 3.0 UI, built-in accelerometer, multi-touch input, proximity sensor, Swype text input

This model is a mid-range smartphone. (Budget phone,actually)
Overall, it feels and looks like an iphone in disguise.

The Android software is nice and simple to use too!!


(And of course, their logo, cute!)

One weird thing i found out is that, the alarm does not sound off when the phone is off.. (my previous nokia E63 can!)
HAHA!

I better standby an alarm clock tonight, before sleep. =)

I got a job!!

It was April Fool Day, yesterday, and a call asking me to start work on the coming Monday, sounded like a joke.
However it wasn't!! =)

I got a job, like after 2 months plus!
Lucky me!!

Wish myself good luck, and thank you all friends, who's always been supporting me! =)

Throwing away the old memories.

Hi all, just to inform, i sold my iphone away!
Shall buy another new android phone? =(

Anyway, it was bed sheet washing day for the house over the weekends.

Mum suggested me to wash the pillow with my name being sewn onto it (by my ex girlfriend,as an birthday present..), even though it was not very professionally sewed, it was the thoughts that count.

But then, after a round in the washing machine, all the lettering came off !

It became..



THIS!

Ok, time to let go of the old memories 10 years ago.
She is getting married too. All the best to her!! =)

Wanted a breakfast and a walkabout with a friend, in Queenstown food centre, yesterday, but discovered it was being closed down!



The shops beside the Queenstown MRT were all closed too!



A little memory of the Queenstown Bowl and the Food centre along Margaret Drive, too bad i was only there once, for the western food.

Any friends have any idea where it or the rest of the stores shifted to?
Email/sms me can?

Since it was closed down, we decided to change the venue to Chinatown area.





The view of the sky..




The ''cooling effect''..



Something for the Tin Tin fans!



Last picture of a dustbin.

Shall end with a song i'm currently addicted to.



Thank you for reading. =)

Jackie Chan dead hoax

"RIP Jackie Chan" was trending on Twitter today.

Went in search of this news, and from this website.

"OH NO!" was my first thought!

He is my idol, i love him and his movie!
I have not shake hand with him yet somemore!!
How can this be?


But then, on the website i saw, typo mistakes.. hmm.. hmm..(Please click to see bigger picture)

But then it turn out, it was a hoax.
*Sigh of relief*

Boring people spreading false news.

NOT FUNNY, lo...

Collected my iphone back

After a year, my iphone started to have problems.
It self drains itself within 5hours (even though i was not using it.)

Since it was out of the 1 year warranty.. and the official Apple stores quoted me SGD 350 for a 1-to-1 exchange, i decided to find a repair man.

He helped me to change the battery, but it was still not working well. Therefore i went back to him, again, and he said he will have to test out on other parts of the phone.

After a month, the repair guy was saying he suspected it could be the motherboard of the phone, having problems, but was not confident of which one is it, therefore he could not repair it.

He suggested to change a motherboard, quoted me SGD 500, for it. (Duhs!)

For this price, i could have gotten a second hand smartphone to use.

Thus, I collected my iphone (So called 'body') back.

My suggestions for my iphone friends:

• Spend another SGD 99.00, for another year of Applecare protection.
• Don't buy cheapo handphone charger!!! (I suspect this might be the cause of the problem, read my personal charger explosion experience HERE)

It is quite weird to carry a phone which is self draining, and what happens if you are not at home or having access to a charging dock?
Am going to give it another chance to prove that it can still work, with the help of my external battery charger.

I must admit that it is a great phone to use, but rather troublesome when it starts to have problems.. Might have to change to "Orange" smartphone next time then..

Let's see how it goes?
