Another Bite of Apple

After about two weeks purchasing iPurple and falling in love with iOS, I decided to switch from android to apple. So, I passed down my S3 to my husband (he wanted it badly), and bought the second Apple gadget that I used to hate before. Taadaaaa!

iPHONE5!

So thin and sleek!

I purposely chose black for the colour, to match it with my iPadmini that I bought before. Plus, I’ve been using white phones (S2 and S3) for two years so it’s kinda getting old. To be honest, I was not familiar with Apple gadgets and iOS, but it actually wasn’t that hard to master. I remember after buying an iPhone5, I went to Pizza Hut for dinner and there, I didn’t really eat though hubby ordered a lot of food. I just ate the salad and spent the rest of the night playing with my new gadget. Honestly, I couldn’t rest until I figured out the tricks and shortcuts this gadget has to offer.

 After more than two weeks owning and using this gadget, I admit there are certain things that are lot easier on S3, for example, well, the obvious one, setting the phone ringtone! Hahah. Using iTunes for the first time was quite confusing especially when I wanted to set the ringtone but I managed to do it (after several emotional tries haha), thank you Mr.Google and Mr.Youtube. The only bummer is, I can’t use Google Maps on iPhone because it’s not available on Malaysia AppStore. The iMaps installed in it for navigation purpose is super stupid, I can’t get anywhere using that. So my friend suggested me installing Waze. That one seems promising though I haven’t used it properly yet.

Matching black!

Matching black! My iPadmini and my iPhone5! The ‘in’ things right now. Haha

I don’t regret doing this move (from Android to iOS) even though I notice a lot of people around the world vote for android, particularly Samsung compared to Apple. I loved my S3 before, and I love my iPhone now. Both are great phones!

It's been an honour knowing you S3!

It’s been an honour owning you S3! Hehee

Though I already passed down my S3 to my hubby and it’s practically his now, but I don’t allow him to trade that phone to get an iPhone5, in case he wants to ‘berhijrah’ too soon. It served me well for less than a year so I don’t want it to be in a stranger’s hand.

So, that’s it! Bye!

New Obsession, iPurple!

iPad-MIni-Black

I’ve got myself an iPad mini! At last! I named her iPurple since I chose her the purple casing. We didn’t have any intention to buy it actually and I blamed the whole thing on hubby. That day, we actually planned to go to Watson to buy my product supplies. After that, we went to the third floor to look at some cool phone casings. I was the one who wanted the phone casing, hubby usually was the victim who had to pay them for me. Haha. After buying two phone casings, I wanted to go home straight away, tapi hubby ajak singgah Navotech pulak. He said, ‘Singgah sini jap, nk tgk something.’ I said no, nanti makin tengok, makin banyak duit keluar. Hubby degil, dier cakap, ‘Takde laa… Sekejap je. Nk tengok bukan nk beli.’ Yeah right.

We went to different sections, hubby asked the salesman about computer stuff and I just walked around looking at everything. I noticed hubby went to iPad sections with the salesman and they chatted for more than 20 minutes. I knew it was 20 minutes because I looked at my watch. Kalau setakat tanya2 gitu je apesal lama sangat. So I went to him and held his hand signalling ‘Let’s go now’ but instead, he turned to me and said ‘Beli iPad nak?’ I was like, ‘Now????’ He insisted on buying but couldn’t give me solid reasons why. At first, I didn’t agree and thought it was a waste of money since we didn’t really need an iPad (though I agreed it was so cool to have it), but finally I surrendered. We always made random decision like this you know.. Remember when I bought my Sony Vaio Pink laptop last year? Mcm ni jugak lah. Cakap nk tgk2 je last2 beli jugak. Haish!

So, here’s the second argument. As usual, Apple’s products are available in two colour selections, black and white. We wanted the white one (I always hate black gadgets, I think they’re boring), but the one that we wanted (Wifi+Celullar, 16GB, White) was all sold out already. Black, that was all they had left. I asked hubby to order it first and waited until they called, maybe about a week or so, but hubby refused. He insisted on going home with an iPad on that day itself. I surrendered again.

So okaylah. Nk black, black je lah.

It turned out, the black iPadmini was not that boring. To my surprise, this colour looks so classy and stylish. If you look at the featured image on top on this entry, you can see that the black colour actually covers both sides (front/back) like iPhone 5 whereas for the white ones, they use silver colour for the back side (less stylish because of the dull silver but of course it was cuter).

I was torn apart between these two colours, purple and pink. I didn't wanna embarrass hubby using iPink so I chose iPurple. Haha

I was torn apart between these two colours of the casing, PURPLE OR PINK? But since I didn’t wanna embarrass hubby using iPink, so I chose iPurple. Haha

iPurple is actually my first Apple product (I’m an Android user). Now that I’m loving it to bits, I’m now weighing my decision to buy an iPhone 5. Haha!

p/s- Hubby yang nak sangat iPad, but balik rumah daku yg conquer. HAHA

The Poplook’s New Fan

That’s me! Why not? ! Their tops and dresses are very cute, simple and PRETTY. The most important thing is, I find the price is soooooo reasonable! No wonder girls, even the celebrity Lisa Surihani, dig this website!

Since I was curious to know what’s so good about them, last Sunday, I bought two of their blouses, as you can read in this entry. I wanted to find some tops (the loose ones), so when I clicked on it, HOMAIGOD! Takla mahal sangaaaat! So, the mission began. This is the part that I love the most about online shopping. You can just choose and shop while sitting on a sofa comfortably and sipping your tea, until you find what you’re looking for. :-D

What I love the most about the website is, they provide every single measurement such as shoulder, waist, length (length is very important since I’m so short!). So, you know whether you are in a size 6, or 8 etc. It’s convenient. However, if you’re not satisfied with your purchase, let’s say if the size is too big, it’s too long etc, you can always return them and get 95% of your money back.

Please get a tape if you’re not sure about your body measurement!

So, this afternoon, when the parcel was finally in my hand, I quickly tore it open and taaadaaaa!

The parcel with green The Poplook sticker on it!

Poppy Red Dot. Love the material, so comfy!

The lace blouse!

I just love, LOVE these two tops! I tried them on and was very VERY satisfied with the size, the length, PERFECT!

Thank you The Poplook! Expect me there, again, sooon!

I did this without even having proper breakfast first! Sipping my strawberry tea while watching Cooking For Real on Food Network, at the same time kept thinking about the tops that I canceled buying on The Poplook website. It’s true what they say, kalau nak beli tu, beli je. Kalau tak, memang teringat2. So, I grabbed my laptop and browsing the website again. As the result,

Bohemicen Lace Blouse

and this,

Poppy Red Dot Blouse

Both of these tops cost me about RM80++, because the lace blouse got 60% off!
