Courage of Conviction

My colleague asked me what phones to get for his wife for Xmas this year knowing I am one of the hardcore Mi phone users. Thing is he would also wanna see and feel the phone physically and Mi doesn't have any physical store or is it so? I told him there's the newly opened an Authorised Mi Store in KLCC now where one could touch & play the latest phones before buying. What phone did I suggest to him? Read on to find out.. In case you didn't know, the Authorised Mi Store was officiated on the 3rd of November in KLCC 3rd floor near Starbucks They have a special promotion for the early bird customers to get devices at RM113 cheaper and the queue started to build up even before the store was opened. Lion Dance! What would an opening be without lion dance right? The opening was graced by several VIP from partners, distributors and also Mr. Steven Shi, Head of Xiaomi South Pacific Region. You get to feel, touch and play with the latest devices and g...

Wonder how did the Mi Note 64GB fare? Yeap. Start of with the unboxing video. What makes it so special and with the motto ahead with the curve? First thing I did with the Mi Note, set it to the Malaysian Mi Community theme. The first thing I noticed when I lay my hands on it is the curved 3D glass back fitted with gorilla glass 3 on both front and back. A quick comparison between the size. From left to right Mi Note, Mi4 and Mi4i, The Mi Note spots a bigger display for a good reason which I will tell you why later. It has a 5.7" Sharp/JDI full HD display at 386 ppi(Pixel per inch) It also spots a Dual 4G SIM Dual Standby(one micro one mini) which makes it much easier to switch between lines without switching phones. So you think that the pricetag of 1549MYR for a phone fitted with 64GB internal memory and a 801 processor 3GB RAM and maybe a few special function like the Night Mode, torch mode when taking pictures at night(torch is on and not the...

Heard of the legend that says it would rain for the first 9 days of the Chinese Lunar 9th Month? Yup. It's because legend has it that it's during this period that the 9 Emperor Gods would come and together with it brings rain. The 9 Emperor Gods temple in Burma road directly facing Madras Lane in Penang. It is said one has to be a pure vegetarian for the 9 days to cleanse oneself enough to send off the gods at the end of the 9 days. During this period, no animal products(milk, meat, eggs), garlic or onion. Even the plates, pots and utensils have to be new or untouched(clean from cooking any meat) Took this with my phone. Yes. It's nice with all the lighting during the night. Another bokeh picture using manual focus Small effigies for prayers. Coil joss sticks The best part? The food of course I feel you could never get as many varieties elsewhere compared to this place The mixed rice dishes. I was eating there for the past 5 days becaus...
