Melaka Trip – 17 September

It is our last day in Melaka. Wifey and me miss this place a lot as the pace here is slow and relax. Plus the mega mall here is great for shopping.

However, there is place that we will not be going back again. That place is Portugese Heritage Museum.

On our third night, I brought my wife to Portugese Heritage Museum to have the famous Portugese-Eurasian devil curry. Upon reaching the restaurant, we decided to head to the sea front eateries to find out what kind of seafood we can get for our dinner.

But before we reached the eateries, we were hounded by this group of touts trying to get us to order various food from their respective stalls. This pisses wifey and me as we do not like pushy touts or sales person.

Immediately, we left Portugese Heritage Museum and settled our dinner at McQuek’s Sate Celup. Nevertheless, we enjoyed this trip very much 🙂

Addicted to HTC Hero

Ever since I got my HTC Hero 5 days ago, almost 80% of my waking hours, my thumb will be on the touch screen of my new HTC Hero. It is just so addictive! So what do I use my HTC Hero for?

1) Twittering

With the Twitter application available on the home screen as a widget, I can constantly know my Twitter contacts updates.

2) Facebook

Same as Twitter. HTC has also added the ability to add a Facebook widget to the HTC Hero home screen. This make it easy to see your Facebook contacts status and messages without the need to access Facebook on the mobile web browser or dig thru menus to access Facebook.

3) E-mail

Ever since getting my HTC Hero, almost all of my company’s and personal e-mail are replied from Hero.

4) Blogging

This is my 2nd time I’ve blogged using my new HTC Hero. Even though Hero doesn’t comes with a physical hardware keyboard like my HTC Touch Pro, the virtual on-screen keyboard let me type with ease and it auto spelling correct function works just like the one in iPhone.

So if you are a mobile warrior, I would highly recommend you get a HTC Hero.

1st Day At Work with HTC Hero

Today is the first day I brought my new, mint condition HTC Hero to work.

About 80% of my office e-mails are replied from my HTC Hero. Even this blogpost is posted from my new HTC Hero. That’s how addictive the new Hero is.

Even my colleagues who are using iPhone are amazed with my HTC Hero. They love the interface and a plus point is that you can have your up coming appointments displayed on the homescreen, whereas in iPhone you are greeted with row and column of icons.

Since this my 2nd day with HTC Hero, I have installed the following softwares:

1) wpToGo – A WordPress mobile blogging software

2) Mortgage Calculator – Calculation of loans

3) Mileage Log – Keep track of your vehicle fuel usage, actually I don’t own a car, but good to have it when I will be getting my car in December

4) Task Killer – To end any background programs that will slow down HTC Hero.

5) sipdroid – For making free/low cost SIP calls using Pfingo account.

Ending my post here as I will be alighting from the bus soon. Have a great evening 🙂

Lunatic in Bus

I’m writing this blogpost on SBS Transit 198 to Bukit Merah.

As I’m writing, there’s this Chinese man in his early 40s with a weird haircut starring at me. I guess he might have some sort of mental problem as he doesn’t look normal.

In fact on a few occasion when I took a public bus to Bukit Merah, there’s some weird lunatic who board the bus. Some will just talk on their own; some will shout to themselves; some will harrass or scold other passengers.

Why aren’t these mental patients lock up in a mental facilities like Institute of Mental Health?

About a year ago, in Canada, there a Greyhound bus homicide case where a Chinese man servered the head of a fellow passenger. I wonder will that incident happens on our local public transport system?

By the way, if any of my close friends or kins who is reading this blog entry, if I were to have a mental problem, I hereby request to be locked up in a mental facility.
