Blogging from HTC

Mobile blogging/blogging on the go.

HTC Touch Dual

I have recently upgraded my PDAs from my old xplore m28 to HTC Touch Dual (from palm-based to window mobile). This phone comes up with 3G/EDGE/GPRS connectivity, however with no WiFi. After some considerations I eventually choose this phone because of its availability, affordibility and connectivity. Since I have an unlimited data plan, the use of WiFi is not as important as the availability of 3G/EDGE/GPRS connection. I can always swap phone with my husband's HP Ipaq 512 when I need to go oversea for its WiFi connection. I bought it from Sen-Q & it comes up with extended warranty until 2012. Not a bad deal, I think. Although my dream phone will still be ASUS p750 and HTC TyTN II.

Swimming: Steps to Success

A very good book indeed. From the instruction and drills, I am able to do prone float, back float, backstroke & simple armstroke. I am more confident in the water now. I haven't master the breathing technique though. I can only do a lap of swimming in one full breath only. Due the monsoon season now, I am not able to practice daily as often as I want to.
The book is available from Amazon. I borrowed one from the IIUM library.

My low cost sauna 'facility'. It costs me RM 480 a year back. The electric heater has broken down, now I am using a rice cooker to heat it up. For the herbs, I use 'serai wangi (Cymbopogon Nardus)', 'daun pandan' and 'misai kucing (Orthosiphon Stamineus)'. It's really refreshing, as I can immediately submerge in the pool after the sauna bath!

Publishing of website and blog

I have just completed my CLA assignment today, alhamdulillah. Since, I have a bit of time to spend whilst waiting for my husband to pick me up, I made a decision to publish my website and this blog to the public. I have always been a secretive person...this is such a big 'jump' for me to actually share my thoughts with others. Anyway, I believe this is a good opportunity to actually meet other people in this whole wide world!
