I received a SMS from Maxis today at 10:21am, stating that I’ve got something free:
We have credited Bonus Hot Ticket of 50 Minutes and 100 SMS (Anytime to All Network) to your account. Pls dial *129# to check your balance.
And when I do that, I received:
SMS:100, Exp:28.03.2011, Min(24hrs):160.00, Exp: 28.03.2011
WTF! Another freebies from Maxis? I must be in heaven! Anyway, thank you Maxis and I hope there’s no hidden agenda anywhere. You keep giving, I’ll keep using!
I was at my usual haunt at Sunway Pyramid when suddenly my Nokia E5 runs out of juice. It’s either going back to the carpark and charge the battery in the car (via the in-car charger) or use one of these Lucky Chargers.
How lucky are you?
Now you can charge your mobile at shopping malls. But so far I only saw the instant chargers at Sunway Pyramid, and no where else. Nice to have the facility to charge your power hungry state-of-the-art mobile phones.
Choose one, please...
It’s very easy to use. Select any charger, slot in your coins and wait for your phone to be charged! But remember to stay near the chargers while your phone is being charged, or else when the slot opens and you’re not around, your expensive phone will be in somebody else’s pocket.
Not too sure whether the chargers are able to accept all kind of phones, but it charged my E5 with no problem at all.
The chargers are made in Korea by a company called Geonas Co Ltd. According to their product description:

Was chilling at Starbuck IOI Mall today when my friend Azril called up and wanted to have lunch. Since Starbuck is an expensive place to have lunch (and the food is not really palatable to my Asian taste), we decided to go to OldTown White Coffee just across Starbuck.
Gift pack alert!
I only had a hot Cham (my favourite) and nothing more. Nothing personal, it’s just that I don’t really trust OldTown’s food, being Halal and all.
Anyway, I’m not talking about food here. It’s just that OldTown had recently offered a so-called ‘gift pack’ for their customers.
Notebook...
You can buy one for RM10. Not sure about the duration of the offer. But you can get ’em at any OldTown outlet near you.
...and three packets of instant coffee
The gift pack consist of a notebook (not a diary or whatsoever), which is NOT made of leather (unlike the Starbuck’s one), and three packets of OldTown’s 3-in-1 coffee.
Not a bad deal, I tell you. Why not get one for yourself or your love ones?
These are two more Swiss Army souvenirs bought from Switzerland.
Swiss Tool
The first one is more like a souvenir item than an actual Swiss tool. It was sold at the same shop where you can buy all the Swiss Army knives, but probably tailored for tourists. It has the same functions like the actual tool, but with an additional of a torchlight.
I’ve tried using this tool to perform actual tasks, and it works just like the real deal.
Climber by Victorinox
The second one is the usual knife (Victorinox Climber) that you can buy at any specialty shop in Malaysia, but I got it cheaper in Switzerland. It comes in 14 tools: large blade, small blade, corkscrew, can opener (with small screwdriver), cap lifter (with screwdriver), wire stripper, reamer, keyring inox, tweezers, toothpick, scissor and multi-purpose hook.
