I like to be different, often spending an obscene amount of time customizing my personal belongings. The most apparent customization is my computer which I spent almost 10 hours daily on it. (I know, I’m a geek!)

Customization done ranged from hand picking my hardware components, to the appearance of the unit and even the software interface. Whenever I’m using my own computer, I feel right at home, tranquillized and relax. Besides, there is also the element of pretentiously showing off my ‘toy’ to gather some ‘’wow’ and ‘ah’ which makes me proud.

Same goes for the phone; change its housing, pick a nice theme and download some catchy ring tones. It won’t be the newest and most expensive but it certainly is unique in my point of view.

 

 

 

Navigation has come a long way since the days of the astrolabe, invented around 100 or 200 BC, the mariners astrolabe invented in 1295, the sextant, marine chronometer and almanac used by mariners to determine their latitude based on the position of a celestial object such as the sun or a star relative to the horizon.

A charming and petite songstress, who started out singing in talent contests and singing competitions, is now a performing veteran who just finished a whirlwind of 50 promo tours nationwide. But don’t be mistaken, Karen is definitely not a diva as we find out soon enough.

Would you use your mobile phone to make payments?

Occupying your time in the mornings and keeping you entertained while you are stuck in the rush hour isn’t as easy as it seems, but this affable DJ does it effortlessly. MW has his mobile habits served on a platter for you.

Maybe it is the sudden change of weather; gulping down too much of CNY goodies, the change of life tempo from sedentary holidays back to an enormous work load and pressure; or maybe it was just the traffic jam. Whatever it was, I fell sick. First it was some coughing, followed by diarrhea and then the grand finale of high fever.

I was given 3 days of medical leave to rot at home and bags of medicine to replace my CNY snacks, poor me. One thing I found cumbersome was taking my medication as instructed. There was some to be taken after meals; some half an hour before and also an antiseptic solution to gargle with. That got me thinking that it would be great if there was an application to remind me of all these medication intervals.

As promised last issue, I am going to dwell into the realm of the blue giant – Celcom. My previous encounters with the DIGI and Maxis gaming websites were entertaining so I’m expecting nothing less from XPAC’s Channel X. It should be fun, enticing, intuitive and magnificent! Well, XPAC did not disappoint me.

Upon logon, I’m greeted with a gorgeous serving of games; I did a bit of quick math and deduce that X offers more than 500 games. I do love my job reviewing mobile games but five hundred games are overwhelming. It is going to be a headache to pick the cream out of this pile.
