Apple Maps looks unfinsihed, period

I upgraded the New iPad (ok, to me it's iPad 3) to iOS 6.

No issues.

Just now, after using for a while, here's my quick review:

1) Siri is fun to use (I tested it with Mandarin & Cantonese - the voice recognition is not bad)
2) Safari feels smoother
3) It has Clocks now! Can play with alarm & stopwatch too (meh to many, but I think it's a welcome feature)
4) Apple Maps looks like an unfinished products
5) Having said that, iOS 6 lost two important applications that I love - Google Maps & YouTube (Google is still developing iPad's version)
6) BATTERY DRAIN! Battery is the reason why I love Apple product, but after the upgrade, it seems like draining faster than usual - surfing on Chrome for 45 minutes, battery dropped 10%
7) Again, on Apple Maps - it shows inaccurate data? I search the map around my housing area - Taman Metropolitan Kepong has become Bukit Jalil Recreational Park B? Whadafuq?
8) OK, some credit that applications such as Photo, has better integration with social media such as Facebook (but yes, it is already done on Android :-) ) 

I'm not sure how would Steve Jobs feel about this, but in my opinion, this will be his third turning in the grave (1st being the name "NEW iPad", 2nd being the un-inspirational iPhone5)



Left: Old, Right: New, RM82 per bottle.

So seeing that the old one is gonna be finished soon, I bought the new one.

The new one, smells lighter - I could tell when I tested it in the shop.

When I asked why, the sales person told me "Oh, it's because many people don't like the heavy scented smell"

My thought on the spot: "Huh? I didn't feel that it's heavily-scented. And the pure lavender version is even more heavily scented"

What a way to cut cost, seriously -_-

Nevertheless, it is still a good product.



No next time, free only will consider

I guess they've got the idea from McDonald's shake shake fries

But unfortunately, the flavoring didn't give the 'unagi' smell - what I smell is still the normal potato chips.

And the amount of chips they give is really pathetically few.

With the price of RM4++ , all I can say is - get others, definitely not this and no next time.

Rating: 1.5/5




In my previous post, I reviewed about the pillow mist.

This time, I'd like to talk about the essential oil - used for oil burner.

L'Occitane's cost RM70 while The Body Shop's cost RM55. (as of Feb 09, LOL)

In fact both product shouldn't be reviewed together.

Because L'Occitane's can really aid to sleep better (with AOC Lavender essential oil)

The Body Shop, on the other hand - probably the promoter listened to my request badly (or I mentioned it badly) introduced me the essential oil to - purify.

Testing had been done to me and my sister, we both didn't sleep quite well with The Body Shop's.

Yes, the word 'Gently Purity' said it all.

Searching in google returned the result that they have 'Deep Sleep' essential oil.

But since the effect wasn't that good for their pillow mist range (I have 'Deep Sleep' pillow mist)
So I shall rest my case.


Again, L'Occitane wins again, the extra RM15 premium is really worth it and if you are ok with lavender smell (I didn't quite like it, initially), go for it.

L'Occitane AOC Lavender Essential Oil - 5/5
The Body Shop Gently Purify Essential Oil - 2/5 (though, it could be a mistake by the staff)
