  • Citymapper App Helps You To Travel Around London Easily

    Citymapper App Helps You To Travel Around London Easily

    Citymapper App Helps You To Travel Around London EasilyLondon is a huge metropolitan city and with around 11 underground lines and hundreds over of bus route, travelling around is not an easy task. I have a friend who has been residing in London for over 2 years still couldn’t not master travelling on complicated transportation system and in the city, he still need to relies on the Legible London wayfinding system and Google Maps.

    I have been visiting London very frequently and travelling around without a local Londoner guiding is quite difficult. The Legible London, a wayfinding board that erects at almost every street corner gives you quite a lot of information of where you are and what’s around. So how do I travel around London like a pro? I use an app to guide me around and that’s Citymapper.

    Citymapper can shows you the best way, configures the fastest route and lists the costs of different travelling mode when you want to travel to your destination. So it helps you to save costs, and time. It just made travelling in London so much easier. Yeah. At the moment, the app serves New York, Paris & Berlin. I don’t think it will reach Malaysia in any near future as the public transportation system in Malaysia is lacking very far behind.

    You can download from Apple AppStore or Google PlayStore for free. Have fun!

    Play The Flappy Bird

    Play The Flappy Bird – I was late to Flappy Bird, only started playing it like 3 days ago and I still consider myself lucky to have the game in all my devices! I don’t really want to discuss on why the developer Dong Nguyen had decided on removing the game from AppStore and PlayStore, I just want to tell you that I am suck at flying my bird through the Mario-style pipe, but I am enjoying the game from time to time and also feel tulan when hitting the pipe (My current point is 15, you can call me noob and I don’t mind. LOL.).

    So, the game is now off the shelves, but I have found the web version that you can play it on your web browser. Yay? Although not as smooth as on the mobile, but if you are just getting to know about Flappy Bird, click this link  (flappybird.io) now to play!

    Finally, I Am Fiber-ed

    Finally, I Am Fiber-ed  – Or should I say, I am Unifi-ed. Fiber-ed sounds funny, as if eating fibre for nutrition, ease constipation, smooth outcome. Few weeks back, I couldn’t stand the slow internet speed anymore of 1MBps sharing with one housemate and I took the step of asking an upgrade from my house owner. Well, he agreed for upgrade for a little increment in house rent, whatever, fast Internet is very important and now I am Fiber-ed with a fast connection from Unifi. I wanted Maxis Home Fiber, but the owner want to take advantage of the free call by Unifi, so that’s why. Anyway, it’s a good weekend with awesome Internet speed and time to blog more! Cheer.
    Yeah, people have been using it for 3 years back and I have just started, I don’t care what you say, I am happy.

    3DsMax Is So Complicated

    3DsMax Is So Complicated – Learning a CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software for interior design now and I feel it’s so complicated and troublesome. I have heard many people told me that pro uses 3Ds Max for interior design, is it true? I want to be pro also, but the software is really hard to understand and draw. I prefer Google Sketchup + Vray, what do you think? =)

  • Shanghai: Apple Store, East Nanjing Road

    Shanghai: Apple Store, East Nanjing Road

    China Trip – Shanghai: Apple Store, East Nanjing Road 南京东路苹果电脑专卖店 (Day 3) – I had some rest at the hostel after getting back from the awesome day trip at Zhouzhuang, the ancient water town. After that, the real Shanghai trip began as this started our real exploration of Shanghai. We started off with Apple Store which located at the super famous East Nanjing Lu (Road) Pedestrian.

    I have always wanted to visit a real Apple Store for a long time, what’s difference between the Apple Store and Apple Reseller in our country is staffs at the Apple Store are very friendly, it’s always very crowded and happenings at the Apple Store, the interiors are beautiful and the big Apple is so awesome.

    Apple Store @ East Nanjing Road is my first Apple store visit in the world. All the while, Apple Stores are present in United States only, later then Tim Cook, CEO of Apple expanded the stores across the world to Europe, Asia and Australia.

    This Apple Store at East Nanjing Road opened just not long ago only at last year. It was so packed with people during my visit and the atmosphere in there were really happy. Everyone was smiling, happily playing Apple products and asking for help from the Apple’s staff. This is one of the most happenings retail outlet along East Nanjing Road shopping street.

    In there, you can notice the standard Apple Store interior design like aluminum wall panel, wood table and of course the cool glass spiral staircase. Another cool thing is that every Apple products are accompanied by an iPad which works as product introduction & price tag. Very cool.

However, Nokia has just released another Symbian Belle phone, named the Nokia 603. This added another device into the Symbian Belle family of Nokia 600, Nokia 700 and Nokia 701.
