Sony Alpha5000 review
My favourite line of Sony cameras; the ‘NEX’ is now known simply as “alpha” as Sony has decided to drop the NEX prefix for all its interchangeable lens cameras.
WD® Western Digital – WD My Cloud & WD My Cloud EX
If you don’t already know, I’m a “power” WD devices user.
The amount of junk/data I accumulate in my blogging life and work could only increase daily, and the need for secure storage took precedence last year. Just as timely WD stepped in to offer some storage solutions for me and it was then that I was introduced to WD’s cloud storage solutions.
CIMB Kwik – download it & get 2 apps on iTunes or Google store for 50 %
There’s an app in the iTunes store that I’ve been eyeing for the longest time – Hipstamatic .
My god brother uses it for the nicest pictures and each time I see his posted pictures on FB or Instagram, I felt a pang of envy.
I don’t mind paying for apps, but somehow I’ve never got around to setting up my credit card to my iTunes store.
And just today I got to know of CIMB Kwik which allows ANYONE to get 2 apps on iTunes or Google store for 50 percent off just by downloading CIMB Kwik.
The new Instagram Direct – iOS
Pssstttt…. a close friend just informed me of this new feature on Instagram which allows you to send a photo or video to a select group of people. Posts won’t appear in feed, search or your profile. To send photos/videos with Instagram Direct:
- Take a new photo/video or upload a photo/video from your camera roll.
- Add optional effects, filters and a caption.
- Tap Direct. You’ll see some features appear in green when you’re using Instagram Direct.
- Tap the names of people you want to send the photo/video to (up to 15 people).
- Tap Send.
The people you’ve sent the post to will get a notification.
To see posts you’ve sent with Instagram Direct, tap 
in the top right of your Home feed.
Posts sent with Instagram Direct can’t be shared through Instagram to other sites like Facebook or Twitter (duh, that’s the whole point of using Instagram direct right, so it won’t be public).
You also can’t tag people or use hashtags in these shared posts.
Now the thing is, you would have to update your Instagram app ASAP to enjoy this new feature. I have updated successfully and even received a DM already! Have you? 😀
Note: I’m referring to the iOS store.

TECH REVIEW: My journey with the Nokia Lumia 925 – Penang, Perak, Jeju Island and Hong Kong
It’s been a while.
The Windows phone had wondering and pondering if it may work, if it could any more interesting or any more fun to use than the ubiquitous Android. The opportunity came for me to toy around with a Windows gadget when Nokia dumped a Lumiz 925 on my lap.
