I have to admit, I’m a lazy bum at times.

I mean.. we all need water daily, right? So here’s the thing: water container is in my house kitchen, so in order to get drinking water I had to leave my room and walk all the way to the kitchen (yaaah, as if it’s a super long journey lol) But still, I used to be so lazy that I’d rather skip drinking water just because of the inconvenience and the ‘extra miles’ haha. Thus, my mum had an idea to curb this just so I had sufficient amount of water in my body system (i used to fall sick often back then so yaa).

Yes, water bottles! My mum refills and stores water bottles in my room so I had no excuse not to drink. Until I found this…

Oh shit. Will I get cancer or something?!

Then I found out about Spritzer’s latest offering… a Mini Dispenser!

Most of us know that Spritzer water is always known for its quality bottled water. Being the leading mineral water supplier in the country, it’s pretty awesome that they launched their Mini Dispenser specially for urban usage, home, offices, outdoor activities or anywhere else. The Mini Dispenser Series will be able to support Spritzer 9.5L & 6L bottles, which is incredible!

Kind enough, Spritzer knew about my lazy bum issue (as if lol) and gave me one of their Spritzer Mini Dispenser to try out!

It’s actually pretty easy to set up; just turn the large water bottle upside down and place it directly on the water stand so that the needle-like base (don’t worry it’s not sharp lol) will pierce the water bottle lid for water supply to flow through!

There you go, awesome lah now I can drink good quality water! No more drinking from reused water bottles, I’m gonna get rid of them by sending it to recycle centre instead!

You can get one yourself too, it’s pretty affordable as well. Just check out the Online Shopping section @ http://www.spritzer.com.my/

Recently, I’ve gotten a new laptop…

Since it’s new, i would certainly not want any scratches on my beloved laptop. Thus, Hydraskins was kind enough to send me a free limited edition laptop skin in conjunction with the upcoming Apollo 18 movie.

Only 150 of this design was produced worldwide, and I heard it’s worth about RM80? Because one of Hydraskins‘ good feature is that the skin application on any devices is as easy as peanuts! You won’t have to worry about having air bubble or creases underneath the Hydraskins, it’ll be a super rare case if you do get any air bubbles lol.

1. Measure the skin according to the size of your laptop, draw a line on the grid provided at the back of the skin

2. Cut the skin accordingly

3. Peel off the skin and apply it on your laptop

4. Done deal! There you have it, a Hydraskins-pimped laptop!

Hydraskins product is water resistant, scratch resistant, reusable, and you’re able to remove it without leaving any residue! That’s one of the most important thing for me because Hydraskins offer a lot more other attractive designs which I might just change mine every month or something!

Check them out at Hydraskins Facebook page if you’d like to know more; they’re having a movie screening of Apollo 18 this week as well so look out for future interesting updates from them!

P/S: Kidding, I don’t have a new laptop; this is my old one. Nevertheless, I’m still taking care of it by putting on Hydraskins on it!

Nokia Malaysia held a special preview session for Nokia bloggers last week @ Marmalade, Bangsar Village II; We had the chance to be one of the first in the world to preview the upcoming Nokia N9 devices.

Long awaited, the expectations were set pretty high for this device – MeeGo was supposedly tipped as the ‘savior’ of Nokia devices to replace the aging Symbian OS. However, Nokia had announced months ago that they are going to move onto Windows Phone 7 as their primary platform instead. From then on, many of us thought there won’t be much (or maybe nil) room for the allocation of MeeGo on Nokia devices; until… the birth of Nokia N9!

Nokia N9 is a stunning device – sleek, minimal, with curved glass front and no visible buttons. It operates as awesome as it looks! The software – MeeGo ‘Harmattan’ itself empowers the Nokia N9 even further because it is as great as the hardware. Some may perceive this phone as the iPhone-killer / or rather Nokia’s iPhone; the design ethos is really befitting a modern smartphone platform. The MeeGo OS feels so smooth and alive, the design language and iconography is a breath of fresh air, screaming device performance, etc. (you must try the device to be able to get what i mean!)

Nokia N9 holds three key principles:

“Bold, all screen design” – “The simplicity of a swipe” – “One home. Three simple views.“

And they really mean it. As you can see the phone consists of mainly just the screen without any main buttons. All you need to do is just swipe, swipe and swipe. And there’s no complication of many pages opened because at the end of the day you’ll only be swiping left – centre – right (three views only), trust me i’ve tried it and it’s possible!

Very (very, very) promising device by Nokia; hopefully they’ll consider revoking their decision of making Nokia N9 the one and only MeeGo device from Nokia because I could see lots of potential out of it and could possibly be one of the most competitive OS alongside Apple iOS & Android.

The Nokia N9 will be meeting the Malaysian consumers within these few weeks. However, they were still tight-lipped about the actual release date and the pricing details for the device. So, keep a look out for it! If and only if I have a chance to get hold of this device myself, all of you are welcomed to find me; I’ll be sure to make you feel the same way as I do (bored of the iPhone, wanting to try something new, etc)

Last Tuesday, I was invited alongside 4 other food bloggers for a scrumptious buffet & dessert cake tasting session at the Cinnamon Coffee House @ One World Hotel.

The place looks pretty good and of course we were served with a variety of food choices in their buffet line. I was too hungry and went ahead grabbing as much food as I could that night and there were few pretty good dishes served in the line! I almost forgotten that we were going to have 11 different types of cakes and desserts after our buffet dinner so by the time I was finished and I saw the cakes being served, my expression was -> :O ‘oh no, i ate a little too much earlier’.

But anyway the cakes were very nice and there wasn’t any much problem finishing the cakes especially when it’s delicious!

We were first served with this Aloe Vera Chocolate Cheese Cake
(Cinnamon Coffee House’s Cake of the Month – June 2011)

Oreo Cheesecake

Red Velvet Cake

Mango Dome

Peach Crumble

Pave Pistachio Cake

Green Tea Opera Cake

Mixed Nuts Tiramisu

Black Forest Cake

Carrot Cake

Petit Antone Cake

I love this cake above! Petit Antone – if you like the taste of Ferrero Rocher chocolate, you’ll like this cake because it tasted almost similar! Their Red Velvet cake is also pretty good but I’ve tasted better somewhere else. As for the rest of the cakes, some were pretty good for me but some were just not up to par. It’s either a little dry for my liking (i like moist cakes lol) or something else. But overall, I went back home as a happy kid cos I love desserts & cakes and I got to try out 11 different varieties of cakes in a night!

The cakes are priced at RM12++ per slice / RM90++ for the whole cake; however they are having this Deli counter special offer where you can get a 50% discount on ALL breads & cakes at the counter from 3.00pm onwards daily. Thus, make your way to Cinnamon Coffee House @ One World Hotel for your hi-tea session after few rounds of shopping at the mall! It’ll be worthwhile seeing that you could get 50% discount on the breads & cakes after 3pm

Thanks Ms Florence & Ms May from One World Hotel for the hospitality, and thanks Rebecca Saw for inviting us – Hungry Female, Baby Sumo, Xiangcool, and myself for the makan session.
