The Force at Mid Valley

Another two weeks before the release of all release coming to the cinema for the year. Star Wars would be back and at the moment the adverts were everywhere. Some clever, some tacky but it seemed to be a celebration coming. Just hope that the movie would not disappoint.

Mid Valley Megamall hosted a life-sized X-Wing at one of the side foyer. It cost money to enter and snap pictures at but the buzz was certainly. There was hardly a queue when I visited since it was mid week right after work. I could imagine that the line would be long at weekends.

Well. Two more weeks and counting...

A Bit Different

Since getting the furnitures over, the living room appeared a bit more congested. And for the first time, I felt like being the Lord of the Manor when I had my breakfast this morning.

There was still plenty of work needed to be done with the apartment but certainly the move had kick started us into gear. Definitely there would be more decorating to come and the place would start to resemble a full house.

Anita had been kept busy still with paperwork and all. She had an appointment with the lawyers earlier as well as a buyer for the old MPV coming over to have a look. Still waiting for an offer though.

Movers Were In

Anita certainly has had a busy day. She had to organise the transfer of some of the stuffs from Cemerlang House and parked some of the heavy furniture at the apartment. That took some doing and tonight it was finally done.

She was having some rest at the moment. Deservedly so. The main living area still pooled pretty bare as we left it so for the upcoming kenduri. We put the new and the old dining tables at the same corner while the corridors were almost filled.

Some of the old kitchen utensils and chinas were also brought over, now needing some cleaning. It had to be done this week as we would be away to Fraser's Hill Next week and our maid going on her Xmas break back home.

No rest again for Anita tomorrow while I would be on call.

Getting Them to Bed

‎We had to move some of the stuffs from our Taman Cemerlang house tomorrow. That house was going to be sold soon and we were just finalising the paperwork. The stuffs need to be moved out, some into storage while the rest into the apartment. Now that where the problem came. We didn't know how to arrange those stuffs.

But before we can do all that, I had to get the boys to bed early as they had to travel with Anita to their grandparents place while Anita do the arrangements for the movers. It was going to be a long day for her.

We wanted to get the moving done within this week as our maid would be back to the Philippines for Xmas from next Monday. We also planned to have a small kenduri sometime later in December for Idlan's khatam. And of course, we would be away to Fraser's Hill next week as well.

Time to get moving!

Firing up an Old Flame

I had been looking up the review for the upcoming BlackBerry Priv and felt that the phone certain got potential. On the one hand, you have the great hardware and keyboard - both physical and software - which came with BlackBerry plus the flexibility and the established platform that was Android operating system.

I have invested a lot in Android software, so it would make perfect sense to port over into another Android rather than plod along with BlackBerry OS, which may be going nowhere soon.

While waiting for it to be available at the shop, I thought I rekindle my love for BlackBerry. I went back into my digital cupboard and dusted off my old Z10, got it charged up and updated the OS.

Hmmm! Sluggish but usable. Now I realised why I left the phone in the cupboard in the first place. The main problem j had with the phone was not the hardware, but the software. And the worst part was navigating through the trove of emails in the so called Hub. To erase the email in bulk took some prodding. Then came the problem of trying to jump from email to the next. It appeared that you needed to load each emails individually rather than sift through them fast such as in the Android or Outlook.

And that was just for starters. It get worse with the other third party apps. They were just slow and sluggish. Therefore marrying the good of BlackBerry and Android made perfect sense. The keyboard on the Z10 itself remained peerless. Even better than any Android or iOS keyboards.

Still waiting for a unit to try. Hopefully the wait would not be that long.
