Some people asked me why I am going to Hong Kong in the Summer? This is one reason why.

DenDen, it's good to see you're on to your 5th phone. I'm only using my 4th and will be back to my 3rd phone!

My first one is a Fido Nokia 5190 (see Figure 1.1 below). This thing is a workhorse.

Then a Rogers Nokia 8390 (see Figure 1.2 below). Small footprint but that's the only good thing I have to say about it.

And then a Rogers Nokia 6310i (see Figure 1.3 below). Can't beat the real thing. High- resolution mono screen, bluetooth enabled, and great reception and voice quality. I loved it!

And now I'm using a Rogers BlackBerry 7100r (see Figure 1.4 below). Crackberry is close to the best thing since sliced bread. The 7100r is known for audio problems but the PDA and email functions rock. The keyboard is just all right though.

I'm going to switch back to 6310i after my last day at work.

Product placements are everywhere. In movies, TV shows, and sometimes on blogs like this!
I didn't know Lois Lane likes the new Audi A3 like me until I saw Superman Returns on the weekend. (BTW, the IMAX experience is overrated. Maybe because it's partial experience. ) I thought "Bed, Bathroom and Beyond" is a fake name until I saw one of the reviews on "Click."

I just bought a new pair of headphones. This time it's a Sennheiser CX300, the "in-ear" style headphones. It's my 3rd pair of Sennheiser's I have. Okay I'm not counting that cheapy one that came with my iRiver. I really like my first pair -- PX-100, which is now in my ho pung yau's flat. My second pair is PXC-150, the one with the noise cancelling feature. It's not very comfortable to wear but you can't find a better model at a lower price. (This sounds like a radio commercial for a 2-way voice alarm system. [Insert another product placement here]).

One downside about the "in-ear" headphones is that you will need to get rid of the earwax on the earbuds. It's all right if you clean your own and clean often. But if you don't and leave it on your desk at work, your coworkers will probably not appreciate it.
