Danish Chocolate
The story. I was just back from Malmö, Sweden to Copenhagen airport in Denmark.
Bill: I want a Swedish... ar... Danish chocolate *looking at the chocolate box in front of me that looks like Belgium chocolate*
Staff: *Smile*
Bill: I want those with the funny "O" on the box (referring to the Ø letter in Danish), and not the funny O with 2 dots (referring to the Ö letter in Swedish). What about that one? *point*
Staff: *smile+nob* Yes. It has a funny O. Except it's Norwegian. Here, this one is good.
Bill: Is it Danish? *looking at the chocolate box above*
Staff: It's Danish and it's good.
Bill: But there's no funny O on the box.
Staff: It's good. *smile*
Bill: But...
Staff: It's good.

AStylophone the App
Free Android Stylophone App called AStylophone. Ads supported. Was planning to buy another piano and maybe a stylophone. Then came across this app.
This is brilliant. And with extra feature like recording your key press. Useful utility when working on a tune on the go.
iOS version also available, called iStylophone.

Youku Now Comes with TVB
But unfortunately, the videos are only viewable in mainland China. I got an error saying "Sorry, this video can only be streamed within Mainland China" if I click the links.
Other Youku videos are fairly slow if watch from UK. So slow it's quite unwatchable.

Nintendo 3DS
Update: it was fun! Lots of laughs from me, my gf, and her mom. all the AR card and shooting-faces-in-the-air games. 3D looked nice. And will take loads of 3d pictures at my gf's univ. One problem though. it only comes with a 100V charger
Update 2: Cost me around 330 pound. 270 for the unit, 15 for shipping, and 45 for custom. Ship from Golden in Sham Shui Po, Hong Kong (ironically, 10 min walk from my folk's place in Hong Kong).
Update 3: The Japan launch was Feb 26th, 2011 and European launch will be March 25th. And Hong Kong managed to get a hands-on on Feb 25th, ahead of the Japan launch. It was selling for HK$3099 at that time with Ridge Racer being the most expensive game.
Update 4: Professor Layton is the best selling launch game.And out of the games I bought, one DSi-only game "My Cooking Coach" does not boot due to region lock. Others were okay. Getting "Street Fighter" the end of March 2011. There's an AR card function to show 3D models from the AR Cards, think figurines.

Coco Before Chanel
Watched this movie about the French brand Chanel. The movie was in French with forced English subtitle. Not recommended unless you are earning a fashion degree. I think the actress added some crazy personality to the character Coco Chanel.

Down there on the left, there're weather, a clock, a gameboy-like widget with some advert of QQ game.
On the right, I can login to my QQ messenger for instant messaging.
