I saw a notice outside a shop in Ipoh recently offering upgrading and unlocking services for iPhone, for 2G and 3G. I took down the contact number and called then to see how much they would be charging for unlocking and upgrading my 2G iPhone from the earliest firmware version to the latest. The guy says it would be RM150 and would require 3 – 4 hours!

My, I think if they could guarantee that nothing would go wrong, that my iPhone would not brick, then I would pay to have the upgrade. I am not sure if RM150 is a fair price to pay though, because many of my friends upgraded the iPhone and unlocked it themselves. Also, I think that 3 – 4 hours to meddle with a phone is pretty long and it would be difficult for me to get away from work for that length of time. And I don’t feel secure enough leaving my iPhone to them for any length of time!

I think I would have to travel to the capital city and look up a friend who would be able to do it for me cheaper. Free? I don’t think so. Cheaper, yes, he already said so. It would also be a good opportunity for me to check out the city. It has been a long time since I had a reason to be there!

When I was at the Ipoh PC Fair last weekend, I noticed that they, once again, push the prices of pen drives a lot lower. The bad thing was that I just purchased a couple of pendrives at different capacities not too long ago, not because i wanted to buy at a more expensive price, but because I was urgently in need to use then.

At the recent PC Fair, with their seriously low prices, I discovered that I paid more than RM15 for one 8GB pendrive and almost RM3 for a 4GB pendrive. It drives me nuts to know that no matter how I shop for my items, they will always be cheaper somewhere and within such a short time period as well!

While people would say that I should shop for my electronics and gadgetry in LowYat, it’s not a practical solution. Coming from Ipoh to purchase them, while not exactly viable, would be a great idea if the savings is huge but what if the item breaks down and warranty has to be claimed? It would be tough and creates unnecessary hassle going to and fro, or even just shipping them to and fro!

Every year, near Christmas, I have to help my father pick out gifts for her relatives and associates. Even though this at first seems like I have 100% say of what to buy, in actual fact, he has already got a list of what I MUST get. The rest will be up to me.

This year, my father has especially asked for cigars in Humidors. I never question why but my job is to look for the cheapest source with quality uncompromised.

Best Cigar Prices is one of those places, as I found out, that one could get big name cigars and at the same time, smaller lines. This provides me with the variety in gift buying that suits my budget.

If you would like to buy cigars this Christmas or New Year and yet hope not to get out of budget, this is the place to get them from!

The audition for Malaysian Dream Girl 2 is already on. I don’t have any friends who would be interested to participate in Malaysian Dream Girl though, not even in the first Malaysian Dream Girl last year. Perhaps my friends are those who are not those who seek glamour and are not people who would like their whole life exposed like this.

Besides, I think that in such a competition, it could bring out the best in us, or it could bring out the worse in us. And when the worst comes out, it would be for the whole country to see and everyone would be talking about it.

However, I understand that some of the participants manage to step on their short-lived fame on Malaysian Dream Girl even if they did not win and found some level of success in the modeling and entertainment industry. So for those who would like fame and fortune, this is a golden opportunity for them.

If you are planning to relocate, like many people who have found a new job or have just received a promotion in their job that requires them to move out of state, you probably will require the services of an Auto Transport moving company.

While some people would drive across the country, I think it would be safer and more practical to have the professional auto movers do it. It wouldn’t cost a lot, just depending on your distance. American Auto Movers strives to provide the best service they could from door-to-door across the United States and Canada.

If you have been looking for an auto vehicle moving company, then check American Auto Movers and see if they are able to meet your needs.

There’s this website that I have kept in mind for a long time, should I get married. It’s called Fifty Flowers and if you are going to plan your own wedding, this website would come in handy. Just look at their range of fresh flowers, bouquets and even Rose petals. Yes, if you are so inclined, you could buy the petals only! Is that giving you any ideas yet?

Although some people prefer to hire a wedding planner, I think that it’s sweeter to do it personally. A wedding is supposedly a once in a lifetime major event and doing it ourselves would make the occasion so much more memorable.

Let’s not talk about the cost saved doing it ourselves I think that an important lifetime event like this needs a personal touch.

A friend was asking me if I know of a one stop store that could provide him with Electronic Components at the most reasonable prices.

I have to admit that I do not know much about electronic components or places that sell it so I am not about to make a good comparison. However, I let my friend know about 1-Source so that he could check for himself if he would be able to get a good deal out of procuring the necessary electronic components here.

Besides providing a good source for electronic components, 1-Source also offers other engineering services. If you would like to know what they do in detail, check out their website at http://www.1sourcecomponents.com/
