Three Years Later
The year is now 2019 and my last post was in 2016, three years ago, almost to the day. This blog has been neglected over the years, sorry about that. I’d like to blame work and say it caught up with me but its not just that. Another main reason is I accidentally let my hosting lapse a few years ago. With that, my entire blog was wiped out and what I had was a backup from which I managed to retrieve the 1,125 posts I have written since 2013. The downside? I have no more images on this blog. Rebuilding it was going to be a nightmare and a…

The Osaka Travelogue – Part 1 : Accommodation in Osaka
Osaka has always been close to my heart as it’s the first city I did my first ever solo trip. Yes, first solo trip in a country I’ve never been where I dont speak a word of the language? Quite an adventure, I must say. Also, Osaka is known as Japan’s food city and the (highly debated) birthplace of okonomiyaki (savory cabbage pancake) and takoyaki (savoury octopus balls pastry?/buns?) – but more on that later. I’m writing a multiple part breakdown of my trip to Osaka. Hopefully I can break it down with enough information that will be useful for you! :) Part 1: Accommodation in Osaka (this post!) Part…

Review : P1 ToGo Mifi Modem MX230
This is the third post in a 3 part review series of the P1 Mifi Modem MX230. You can read my previous posts“P1 ToGo plan with MX230” and “Review : P1 MiFi on the go!”. — I’m actually quite sad to be ending my review and giving back the MiFi modem. Its like one of those things that you never noticed you had, but only after you had it then you realize its quite useful. I’ve been carrying it out for quite a bit and I certainly feel that it’s a quite useful thing to have when you’re around. I use an iPhone but occasionally my telco provider runs into…

Review : P1 MiFi on the go!
I mentioned in a previous post that I got a review unit of the P1 MiFi MX230. After plugging it in to charge (it comes precharged in the box but not to full battery capacity) I tested it while out and about in Selangor and KL. There’s only one small button on the device and one microUSB port with a cover. I must comment that I like that it has a cover. Without the covering over the ports, the ports then to get dusty after a while and its almost near impossible to clean. So yes, the idea of a cover is very smart. The MX230 comes with only one…

Big Bad Wolf Book Sale 2012
How could I miss the bookworm event of the year? This year the BBW Book Sale was (is still ongoing actually) at the Mines Convention Center from 8-23 December. This year was special because they decided to open for 24 hours over the weekend. Decided to head down there with the boys and my sister on the wee hours of Saturday. We left Damansara about 12.30am and headed down to Mines. We got to the vicinity less than an hour later. I was prepared for a lot of people but I didn’t expect to be stuck even before we entered the convention center. It took us about one hour just…
