Apple iPhone 3Gs

Folks, I am ashamed to say that once again I've succumbed to my weakness. This time is the iPhone 3Gs. In a way you can blame DiGi's marketing but my weak "flesh" is mainly to be blamed. I got the i138 package from DiGi. That means apart from the price of the phone, I am paying RM138 + 5% monthly for my phone bill. This price includes 450 minutes of calls and other freebies. It also comes with an unlimited data plan capped to 3GB for turbo 3G speed. The phone cost comes to RM1090 after subsidy. Worth it?

Shopping at eBay

After a break, I am back at shopping via eBay again. So, what did I buy this time? I bought a leather casing for my new toy, N86, I bought a replacement battery for my wife's handphone (cannot find a replacement in Malaysia already as it was obsolete already - Mitsubishi M330) and another accessory for the N86, a car charger.

I normally buy only items which is low in value to minimize my risk. Most of the times the items are VERY cheap and the postage cost more than the item itself.

I like the last purchase best - the car charger. Cost me about RM11. Postage is free for this item. It will be shipped from the UK. Cool?

The danger about shopping online apart from fraud is getting carried away. It is so easy to click away..........

Anyway, to date, I'm still waiting for my leather casing and car charger to arrive.

Nokia N86 8MP

I've lost!!!!

I have succumbed to my weakness once again :( Got myself a Nokia N86 8MP. It is a phone with an awesome camera function OR a camera which can make calls.

How to justify this purchase? Well the other day, my old phone acted up on me. Hanged really BAD until I needed to do a hard reset to get it to work again. So, lost all my contacts which is not in the SIM ... sigh..

N86 has all the functions which I want/need e.g. good camera function, WiFi, 3G, GPS and etc. If I feel like it, will review it in another post.

....off to play with the new toy.........

DiGi Broadband

I have just recently cancelled my subscription with Celcom Broadband. Not that it is not good. It is just that there is another which is faster and cheaper. However, Celcom would still be the champion for coverage to my experience.

Now, what about DiGi Broadband? Well, the speed I get at locations where 3G signal is available is much faster than the former. See for yourself......

Compare this with the results from my earlier post when I first got the Celcom Broadband .....

Currently I am really pleased with this DiGi Broadband. Wonder how long it will last giving such fast speed and cheap price. Oh, haven't I mention that I am now paying less too. For the first year, I am paying less by RM20 per month. (Celcom - RM68/mth; DiGi - RM48/mth after auto debit RM5 discount and RM5 modem rebate)

New Arrival to the Family

Despite all the runnings here and there, our daughter, Danielle Annabelle Sek An Ling arrived safely into our arms on 17th June 2009, 7.35pm. She weighs 3.34kg which is considered a slightly "big" baby.

Both mommy and baby are fine and we are all adjusting to the new environment.

End of 50-50 Vision Reign

There goes my eyesight :( I haven't been doing much reading lately. Mostly is because my attention span over any lengthy article with words (only) is very short. I cannot seem to concentrate. Lately it got worse. I found that the words are blurr or I would have to put the text further from my eyes.

Yup, I have what "they" called it long sightedness. Or in other language - Rabun Dekat - which means cannot see near clearly. Normally this kind of defect is labled as "old age". So, it is double *sigh*.

With my new pair of "eyes", I hope my quality of life will change for the better :)
