I've finally bought a dry box for my camera & lenses today! yay! Well, I guess it's a good start to take a good care of my camera. I also bought a new 1TB Seagate portable harddisk. And it's cheaper than the 500GB that I bought last year! Oh well, technology evolves...

Try to listen to this song by Alena & Delon guys ...

Cheers for bright and pleasant week to come!

A Tea for all of us

Labels: ,

Just wondering, have any of you guys tried TWG? I you had tried, how many types of tea had you tried?

I've become a big fan of TWG Tea ever since I had their Vanilla BourbonTea during my stay in St. Regis Singapore long ago. Eversince, I had tried their English Breakfast Tea, 1837 Black Tea, Creme Caramel Tea, Choco Mint Truffle Tea, Christmas Lights Tea, and another one that I couldn't recall it's name.

I had to confess that I love TWG Tea! It taste better than the rest of other tea cafe in Singapore and the choices are like hundreds! It's salon are also well decorated with gold-themed ornaments & facade that I believe is in line with their corporate image that they want to portray.

Another best thing about TWG is their tea accessories. OMG! It's all super cute and adorable. Tea pot, tea cup, everything....

If you feel like trying their tea, you can head straight to their salon at ION Orchard Level 2 or Republic Plaza Level 1. You can also broese their e-boutique here.

Fendy's Q&A - Which phone should I get?

1

Labels: ,

I've had a friend of mine asking me this question on what her next phone should be, BlackBerry or iPhone? And I guess I'll just try my best to give some advise then ....

Q: i want a functional fone. easy to sms... seriously considering to push mail to my fone... easy to call... can do calculations... foto... recording... can easily open attachmt best... music...

A: As a start, I would have to let you know that BlackBerry is nothing without BlackBerry Internet Service subscription. Thus, with Singtel, i presume you are, the cheapest plan for that you can go for is $15 plus the VAS of 3GB BIS at $24.9. While for iPhone, they have iFlexi Lite which is bundled at $39.

However, do also note that if you do opt for BlackBerry Torch 9800, you MUST have the 3GB BIS in your plan. Or else you could say bye bye to browser and AppsWorld. Other BlackBerry model doesn't seem tohave this problem as claimed by Hello Shop Manager, which means you can just opt for 1GB BIS Social VAS and do your browser using the normal BBoM.

Ease of SMS-ing. Well, both do have the same style of messaging as they link all our SMSes into a conversation. In terms of how convinience we type, I would personally go for BlackBerry as it has qwerty keypad, whilst iPhone, on the other hand, only have virtual qwerty keypad. Typing can be done faster and more accurate with BlackBerry.

Other type of Instant Messaging (IM). Both phones do support most, if not all, common IM available, such as: YM, MSN, Skype, etc. However, BlackBerry has it's own licensed BlackBerry Messenger which allows us to send messages between BlackBerry devices all around the world with the data being deducted from your BIS plan.

Responsiveness. the response of BlackBerry surely surpass iPhone in terms of it's hardware and software. However, the response of iPhone touchscreen is ten times more superior than BlackBerry Torch.

Push Mail. You have to go for BlackBerry for this feature that you want. However, iPhone, and many other phones, are able to simulate push mail service by means of pulling the mail on a certain time interval basis in the expense of draining the battery.

Ease of making phone calls. Seriously, if you're gonna make a phone calls to peoples in your contact lists, it's BlackBerry. But if you're making calls by dialing their number, then it's the same.

Calculation. With iPhone there's always an Apps for everything. So, even an algebraic calculation also can be done with it. While BlackBerry does well with the basic calculator. I, personally, haven't really search for any calculator Apps for BlackBerry.

Photos, Recording, & Multimedia. BlackBerry with OS6 have what they call Social Feed apps which collate and consolidate all the updates & RSS from your social networking network & websites. Equipped with 5MP camera, it serves well for photo taking and movie recording. iPhone does it better in this aspect though. it's a phone that is full of multimedia and games. Music does better in iPhone too!

Files compatibility. Both phones does well for compatibility with most of the file extension such as PDF, XLSX, DOCX, etc .... However, do note that iPhone doesn't support Flash in their browser.

Hopefully you could find this comparison of a good use. Cheers!

Fendy goes to BlackBerry World

Yay! Finally!! I had my first ever BlackBerry, but thanks to Singtel the first day wasn't really that smooth. However, with that being said, the experience is awesome.

Let's see what I have to say about this, touchscreen smartphone with qwerty sliding keypad, BlackBerry Torch 9800.

The dual input method is one of it's advantage, so, you could opt to use it's keypad which is u can slide it in and tuck it behind the LCD. 正!But it's touch screen is not as sensitive as iPhone.

The trackpad is definitely a better option compared to trackball which they have in BlackBerry Bold 9000. Maybe I'm not yet used to it, so it feels a bit overly sensitive for me.

The responsiveness. Yes, BlackBerry Torch 9800 is definitely much better compared to iPhone or Nokia smartphone that I have. Bye bye laggy!

The 5MP camera. It is well understood that Smartphone camera is NOT and will NOT be able to surpass those DSLR. Thus for me it's quality is sufficient for snapping and it serves my social networking needs just nice.

The most anticipated feature, BBM. Okay, to be honest my first ever usage of my BlackBerry is BBM. I was literally busy familiarising myself with the feature it has to offer, such as, groups, invite, being invited, AutoEdit (for those cute cute symbols which sometimes irritating)

The social feeds, yes, now equipped with BlackBerry OS6, things are supposed to be fluid and dynamic. Thus social feeds will just combined and consolidated all the updates from all your social networking sites, such as Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, etc ... And it is also have a tab for RSS, which means you could get all the updates from all your favourites sites which has RSS, like my blog for example.

The battery. haha .... OK, this is really depend on your usage. really! I had used it extensively for BBM this morning from 9AM-1PM and its totally drained. Yes, flat till die. LOL~! Nonetheless, you could also opt for 2G data transfer usage if you do not require any heavy data traffic to saves up your battery.

The memory expansion, BlackBerry Torch 9800 uses MicroSD card for it's data expansion.

The colour availability, in Singapore where the market is relatively smaller compared to Indonesia, only BlackBerry Torch 9800 is only available in Charcoal. It's available in White and Sunset Red with AT&T.

Last but not least .... it's smaller than iPhone, there goes the LCD size.

Together with my newly found friends, I tried one of the dessert offered called Choco Lava. It is basically a great combination of hot, sweet & savoury choco filled choco muffin topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. A word to note... you gotta enjoy it when it's hot! it's yummy!

Curious on how it looks? here it is....

Go on, droll for it .... You can also visit their other cafes at Tanjong Katong. :)
