Can’t make or receive calls/smses in Hall 2 of MVEC (Maxis only)
May 25th
The recent concluded iProperty Expo has taught me that there’s one blackhole for Maxis services. Although you can see there’s strong Maxis signal on your phone, you can’t make nor receive calls or sms in certain part of Hall 2.
Because of this, I tried to set call forwarding to my other number but failed as Maxis did not activate this service for me. I thought this feature was given, sigh.
So I’ve called 123 service center on Day 1 of the expo and explained my situation and they’ve activated for me. 2 hours later, still cannot set the call forwarding and so I’ve called back the service center. To cut short the story, after much ding-dong, the only way to activate call forwarding if unreachable is *62*number you want to forward to*11#.
After that, everything’s fine. Lucky I still have my other mobile as back-up.
Wordpress iPhone app photo post not working
Feb 21st
I’ve tried a few times trying to post photos with text from my iPhone using Wordpress app but it can’t link the proper code to display the image. The photo can be uploaded into my website. It just can’t interpret into proper code.
I have to manually type in the HTML code instead. Sigh. Tumblr has better features with their all in one app. Guess if text only I’ll use Wordpress while photo with Tumblr. Hmm ….
Meebo app for iPhone
Feb 16th
Its finally out in iTunes store. Downloaded Meebo app for iPhone and first impression – clean cut app. Nice app to use for MSN, Yahoo, Gmail chat, Facebook chat and others in one single place. So far, better than eBuddy. Will try out further then will know its performance and features
Okuribito (Departures)
Jun 21st
I still remember my first impression of this show when I saw it was announced as Best Foreign Film in the recent Academy Awards ceremony. I thought it’s one of those non-exciting film. Only recent review of it in the newspaper got my attention and curiosity.
It’s about a person named Daigo Kobayashi who happened upon fate involuntary join an “encoffinment” instead of a travel agency. His journey unfolds as of others. It’s not creepy even if it has corpse/coffin/funeral.
Update : After watching it, I can’t help but to praise this show. It started with some light comedy, frustration and sadness in the middle and ended with closure and pride.
It’s worth to watch it.
Final Fantasy VII Advent Children Complete – Must see … again
Apr 28th
Look here. Final Fantasy VII : Advent Children Complete is a new title in Blu-Ray format with FFXIII demo game. It’s in Japanese audio format (sorry, no words on English dubbed availability). If you expect same storyline as the original release then you’re right …. and wrong. It’s a “must see again” for Final Fantasy VII fans and I think it’s also worth watching for non-FF gamers. Why? Reason and maybe spoilers below:
MPH Distributor Warehouse Sale – Don’t Go!!!
Apr 28th
MPH is having a warehouse sales from from 28th April until 3rd May 2009 at Ground Floor Warehouse, Bangunan TH, No.5, Jalan Bersatu, Section 13/4, 46200 PJ.
If you’re sensible then please listen to my advise. Don’t go.
Let me count the horrors:
1. Varieties – They have children books, non-fiction books, comic books, classics, fiction, fantasy, self-help, management. So many books until you can’t decide which book you want. Makes you blur-blur
2. Discount – Books at low prices. Example : Bill Clinton’s “My Life” autobiography book at RM19 only. You’ll keep thinking cheap, cheap
3. Bargain price – tons of bargain price books available. You’ll dig out from the bin to look for hidden treasures at bargain price. Dig here, dig there.
4. Money gone – you’ll just pick this book that you wanted, then you’ll pick that book cause it’s cheap, or maybe even this book which looks interesting with low price … maybe this too
5. Carrying few heavy plastic bags – you’ll need stamina of a weight-lifter, carrying those heavy books to your car
Yes, yes. It’s a good bargain. I bought a lot more than usual. Got myself a goodie bags too (limited to 200 customer if spend more than RM200).
Bought some for my kids to read while the rest is mine. Below is the goodies I got which I’m going to give to my kids.
Pro : Variety of books at bargain price
Con : Parking and traffic around the area sucks. Oh yeah, bought lots of book hurt my wallet sucks too.
Spent RM399 overall. My wife is going to kill me …
X-Men Origins: Wolverine – comic vs movie
Apr 15th
I have yet to see the X-Men Origins : Wolverine in the cinema (which I’m still susceptible to censorship) but what I want to talk about is comic vs movie storyline. Btw, spoilers ahead or more like questions. You should stop reading if you want to watch and enjoy the movie.
House Season 5 Episode 20 Simple Explanation
Apr 8th
Meat Loaf guest starred in this episode. Can’t recognise him at first. This aside, there’s one major twist and it was Dr. Kutner. It’s a major surprise. Didn’t even see it coming. There’s no indication from any earlier episode. Don’t want to spoil it for some of you guys.
It’s not a regular episode and that’s for sure. Worth watching
