new phone~! Honor 7

Finally!

I went out yesterday afternoon to Sunway Pyramid to check out LG G4. I was excited but later on I found out it was really big. It also doesn't help when the leather case will cost an additional RM200. So the total is close to RM2k already. I left.

I visited the Xiaomi booth and they were selling above what the internet is selling. I also found out from them that they will preload the latest update for me and make it compatible with the latest android. But their price were RM100+ higher than the Net, and it is not the Xiaomi that I wanted.

I tried CaliBurger @ Pyramid, for RM10. It is a good burger but for RM10 I think it is on the higher end.

Anyway, after Pyramid, I decided to visit DirectD in Subang Jaya. I found out that they are selling G4 at the same price, but the casing at RM150! The guy also shared his understanding of XiaoMi4c with me. Basically, when there is an update, we are required to go to their shop to get it fix as it is an imported unit and that the unit itself does not have update over the air. I realised then that this is unlikely the phone for me.

I head home and did more research, before I went to the garden. Harith had placed the tarp already. I I replanted the papaya tree and the sign WeiEe made. Took me about an hour, including some weed clean up.

I found out two deals in the afternoon from secondhand.my. One is Z5 for RM1550 (half the price!) and LG G4 (RM1800 nego). First one sounds fishy and th latter is more ex than the seller's price. At night, I was checking Huawei's phone P8, Honor 7 and Sony's M5. All these are between 1-2k. The pricing for Honor 7 is at RM1,399, which is significantly (RM200+) cheaper than the other two units, so I decided to check on its reviews. Surprisingly good, with the exception of graphic performance and occasional lag, it is a good phone. Sleek, 3gb ram, additional memory card slot or dual sim, additional button for configurable short cut, fingerprint, freaking 3k battery life and 5.2inch screen! :D

So, I called directd at night (making sure they have the Honor 7 and the color  I wanted), left house at 900pm, reached ard 20mins later, bought the phone on credit card (I accidentally brought the wrong phone, I could not use Maybank2u), and drove back. Cost me RM1,358.

Anyway, after all that, I do not have the nano-sim card, :(. Maybe it is blessing in disguise as I now will be changing my line from Maxis to Umobile.RM28 a month... how to fight? haha

#excitedtoplaymorewithnewhp :D

14/2 Happy Vday!

Sunday - Didn't go to temple. Watched Let's Eat. not bad. way better than From Vegas to Macau.Its kinda funny how i chose not to watch Ola Bola because I felt that it is not as Malaysian (more like a chinese movie) but i watched this Let's Eat, which is movie in Malaysia about Hainan Chicken Rice directed and acted by Hong Kees.

watched arsenal v leicester. damn kan cheong play until.. last minute goal win for arsenal.
then watched liverpool 6-0 aston villa. sad for AVFC. the goals were too easy.

Phone

I am looking to buy a new phone, after both my Nexus 5 and Nexus 4 screen cracked :(.

I bid for Nexus 5x on EBay but got outbidded. Thats OK. I was a bit concerned about problems post buying it, after cm told me to be careful.

Anyway now I got the following selections/choices:-
1) Xiaomi Mi 4i
2) Lenovo vibe S1
3) LG G4


All the above have diff specs etc ie xiaomi cheapest, LG best specs (among the three)


:(

sending kammo to bus stop later, she's heading to pg and back on wed.

Reunion

Everybody are inside the house eating. They hired those food guy like the loklok to do the catering. Got games also. The game was to stand on top of a Styrofoam on water and don't get wet before you step away.

I don't know why, but mom,  3yee and 3yee cheong came back to life during the meal. I kissed mum and I tasted something funny from her lips. It wasn't a good taste that's why she like Tsk Tsk me.

Then when ah Kim jie2 came with her family, dunno why they kept using the Styrofoam . When it was my turn to play, they Styrofoam got so small that I don't think I can even stand on it!

And the caterer did the double deep fry for the fried chicken.the second fry, he put all the chickens into the emptied tissue paper box (card board)  and throw it into the deep fryer. We all were shocked! and tried to warn him that the chickens were sinking! But he was composed and turn off the heat win time.

There was also another level up part that felt like the shadow of mordor game. Probably I played too much lol.

There was another part of the dream. Earlier.  It feels like sunway pyramid entrance. And there was a hotel room. The room looks simplistic, not a very hotel room, two window pane walls. And it is the end room.

11/2

10/2

Watched from Vegas to Macau3, I would say the movie was bad but got its funny moments. But the bad parts were so awful ie many unnecessary scenes extended, meaningless scenes.. Should focus on a specific theme and not mix and match until all jumbled up. Poorly done sadly.

We spent like fifteen minutes after the movie looking for my one card, ended up it was in my wallet in the ic compartment slot. Lol

I skipped dinner yesterday, slept from six ish till 830. Woke up and play the room. Good game. Completed it too!

Dream

We are in a gated place, it looks like from kind but with tags to go in.

I was working in a shopping mall as a sales assistant, just stand there whole day. Not sure what the shop was selling, hair cut I think...
I wore an old tie to work, those worn during my dad's era type with white shirt.

There was this book fair sale, and instead of having it at bbw mines convention, they changed it to one of the building along jln maarof. It looks like the kitchen design building. From the outside , you can see through the windows panes, the bookshelves are filled with books.

Yushen was driving and there was me and another two girls, one is minli. I was asking him about the book fair when he stopped/froze for one two second before replying. He then asked me what did I say cos he didn't hear anything as he had a short coma.we were like.....  Then he asked if we were comfortable with him driving, I don't rmb if we replied but he stopped the car and I was taking over (I sat behind him)

Before this we were in the gated community thing and there were zombies attack.
I rmb before the Yushen scene, we were at a garden and we wanted to leave already but we don't have tag.

We drove around housing area and somehow got out of that frim place

There was this resort, me n this girl were walking around when we saw amin. We talked for a bit and then his mom came out. We said hi and I saw we were in front of a spa and massage shop. There was this curtain next to the entrance which you can walk through it. I think I sent inside and met amin s other family members.

Before that, I was walking around a town, looks like kl but smaller and easier to walk.

9/2

YESTERDAY Feb 9

wore the shirt Kongweng bought for me, the purple and white, horizontal lines one. looks not bad.... :D

changed my phone to Nexus4. loaded all my apps :D

played mahjong, lost RM20. mainly to nick

started Shadow of Mordor, feels like Farcry mix Batman Arkham series but olden times + LOTR

what else did i do? not much.

TODAY Feb 10

the garden today looks really good. all cleared up. i think it could have been the dbkl peeps in conjunction with the dengue cases. this allows more ppl to do their own part, if they are keen.

next plan for the garden are as follows:-
1) clear the weed
2) discuss with TTDI RA ppl

if RA ppl are ok => invite more ppl!

played mahjong today, but didn't gamble, just a session for hex and eugene to recall how to play. quite enjoyable though

ah mei jie jie and 2yee passed me their angpow and snacks from pg. Yums to ngaku!

8/2

thinking of getting a new phone now... my nexus 5, which I changed the screen twice already, cracked again. This time is worse because not only it cracked, but I cannot interact with the top part of the screen. Luckily I can rotate the view to access the top part for certain apps.

Anyway, plan is either to:-
1) buy an asus phone - looks decent
2) wait for new xiaomi phone and consider the new xiaomi phone or but its older model
3) buy a xiaomi phone now

I think for my budget, which is around 1k, the above are decent options.

---

lately I've not been feeling OK with heart/chest pain. I know this is due to the late nights. Need to monitor myself. :(

---

will be helping out with the garden tmr to put the tarp - > positive news!

next step? I'll need to talk to Eunice to meet the TTDI RA reps.

RIP Gamecube

I got my GameCube as a gift from big sis and Alan. Today, after more than 15yrs, I realised that it is "dead." It could not read all the disc i put inside. I am not sure it is because the discs expired OR the console is broken. Got a feeling is the first one.  Rest in peace GC. I think for single player, I only finished Mario Sunshine, Luigi Mansion, Pikmin and Pikmin 2.

Others were mainly party games. :(

Rest well and thank you!

CNY
- Pailin with everyone d... even got early preCNY from dad and sisters.

6/2

Played futsal yesterday. FUN. Did more workout and felt that I can last longer now. Have to train more on quick passing and accuracy of the pass. :D

Anything else? Started Squarecells,Aliens, WaveMechanics and Legend of Grimlock2. lol

Read more Pockets' articles. Read one yesterday about digital reading, that it is better to read a book rather than its digital counterpart. The one I am reading now is about multitasking is not good for you.

Add caption

Also, my nexus5's screen was cracked for month or two already. And because it rained yesterday and my nexus was exposed to it, there are two parts of the cracked area that looks like it is rusting. Worse, I cannot interact with the top-part of the screen. Backup plan? updating my nexus4 now... lol

5/2

Good morning!

The sky is dark, I wonder if it rained already.  #cannotbelazy,mustgocut!

Had a good rest. I think I should try to sleep more without turning on the fan. I slept better yday. The dream was good too. I rmb picking up rubbish from this garden, turns out those rubbish were mine. Legos, stationery, etc.

In my dream, We were in a western dinner,   though I m not quite sure who are they (relatives but I don't recognize them). I think later a tall girl who looks like aileen came and joined us. It was only one long table and everyone were wearing formal attire. I also dreamt about brandon from node. He was in this fallout attire and an upside down question mark sort of shaved onto his hair. Don't know why... Lol

So, I am done with the bazi, can chill a bit. Time to go back to my normal stuff.

Next week cny, today maybe by some shares for keeping.

4/2

been spending the whole day finishing up the bazi! driving me nuts! #struggle

cooked again for lunch. did a very simple meal, similar to yesterday. Fry egg with capsicum, cherry tomatoes, garlic and onion. serve it with lettuce and bread.

raining now.

plan for today?
- finish bazi
- cut hair
- deposit money
- go cut grass

2/2

did more bazi work.. hopefully will be done by today

read abit on bread making too - doesnt sound that difficult! will try someday

had roti canai twice yesterday, and ate abit more junk than i had in my mind.

maybe i'll cut grass tmr... today focus on completing task on hand (bazi, bazi, bazi)

paid alot of $$ yday for creditcard, netflix and car insurance. need to pay for road tax renewal soon.

other than that, finished watching Master of None. I have to say, I am surprised how much I enjoyed the series. Short, funny, relatable kind of topics and feels "real".

liverpool lost to leicester, :(

1/2

Morning - Futsal with the guys for 1.5hrs. Good workout

Afternoon - collected soil from Nina.

Afternoon - gathered with Calvin, KS and CM to discussed on United Point. We give it a green light!

Evening - transferred soil from car to house. slept for one hour

Night - went to pub with KF,Ailin, Nick,Minli, Calvin and Amanda. Had porky fries and asahi.

Night - slept while reading WTF.

Finally finished WTF. :) Can start new exciting book!

In a mall

We were traveling. Here I don't really much but I think there is a bit of fighting. dad was inside as well.

We were in a mall. It was before someone's wedding and we were east walking around.. We decided to visit ks' Shop selling furniture and odd stuff like typo. The shop is a bit on the higher floors. When we reached, I was looking at the gifts from Ccw n Dee. The gifts were drawings by them on cardboard type of material. But when I hold the cardboard, I realized it is a screen, and it is a gif format, where the drawings are actually drawings on a computer that moves. I was amazed and I told Ccw I was amazed because I didn't expect we would have this tech that can support the battery of the cardboard (very thin)

Yi Yee was there also. Because we were all attending a wedding later, she was wearing a green colored dress. We didn't talk though.

After awhile, a group of them decided to visit Ccw mom or something.they left a few of us there. I wanted to go down, and realised the way down looks like a ramp for cars to come up,  with floors height. I decided not to use that and later found out that around the corner, after the shop, there is an escalator.
