Looking back - the Mototola E398 handphone

The E398 was probably the first handphone that I bought that wasn't second hand. I remember that day -when  I was going to  choose between Nokia and Motorola. The Motorola one was thinner and that was its advantage at that time. The Nokia one actually had a a video recorder but was bulky.

The E398 still takes sharper photos than my China made tablet pc even though it only has a 0.3 MP camera. However, the E398 cost around RM1000  and probably was one of the best mid -range handphones at that time.

I still like my China made tablet despite the fact it doesn't have a very good camera and its surfing is slow. It only cost around RM170 (and that is with a free small stylus and cover!) so my expectations are not too high about it.

I don't use the E398 now. It has some problems with  charging and file transfer though it can  still be used.   Most of the time when I am out, I bring along my tablet pc so I actually don't use a handphone at the moment. The microusb port for my tablet broke a few weeks ago so can't really use a keyboard and mouse with it. Apart from that, the tablet is still functioning- I usually transfer my files with Airdroid or microsd card. Most of the time I don't use a keyboard with my tablet so it has not affected me that much . Still, I have been looking around for a repair on it.

Getting rid of Calcium Deficiency

I had a dream of bad teeth a few weeks ago so for the last few weeks I had been taking a diet that is richer in calcium. It seems to have helped out as I seem to have have less sore knees   and toothache than before.

Horlicks is one of the drinks that is rich in calcium but it tends to be very filling so it is best to be taken a few hours before you go for any heavy exercise routine.  I have been taking some cereals as well in the morning. Koko Crunch is quite expensive but nice to eat.


Here is how I make my Horlicks drink- (update- decided to just follow the recipe on the packet as the old recipe I used seems a bit too sweet . No need of the sweetened creamer.) 

3 teaspoon of Horlicks
2 teaspoon of Fernleaf Instant Milk powder
170 ml of cold water

update: - If you find that Horlicks could be the cause of indigestion, it is best to stop taking it until you feel that your stomach is strong enough to do so. Otherwise just stick to a couple of glasses of milk and some cereal. Some ice creams can also be rich in calcium but ice cream  can be very fattening.

Baskin Robbins Chocolate Cookie Crackle

This is probably the best chocolate ice cream I have ever eaten,. In Malaysia there is a Pink Wednesday discount for Baskin Robbins - where  you got to show the staff your pink items to get some offers  on them. I actually went for the double jr scoop not realizing that  there was a happy 8 offer. Update - apparently the happy 8 scoops are small . Here is the link to the promotion http://www.baskinrobbins.com.my/promotion.html

American Idol 13: Sam Woolf & Alex Preston "The Girl Is Mine"

Sam Woolf solo performance of "Time after Time" was okay but surely this duet of  "The Girl Is Mine" with Alex Preston is worth a watch.

JoJo - "Too Little Too Late "

I was just trying out the cloud storages Google Drive and Wei Yun and this song popped up - Jojo's hit song in 2006. It seems suitable for the World Cup and the present circumstances.
