Lifestyle: Yes (Fastest 4G Mobile Internet With Voice)


Hi All,

Welcome Back to yet another product review where this time around I would like to introduce and to review Yes 4G Internet and they again claimed they are the fastest 4G Mobile Internet with Voice. Well, this slogan had been used by many of the competitors (not only Yes) to attract customers to sign up their packages. I've decided to try its package and for the time being, I am only able to review the Yes voice only as I have not used their data package just yet.


According to my cousin Mr. Chong who feedback to alexleow-kimmy.com that the data speed of Yes 4G prepaid in Kelana Jaya is good and above expectations and it's recommended to use it. I suppose other places should not have much problem and you can use the interactive map to locate your coverage located at their very own website. Alright, about the voice coverage, basically it's good but you must have a great internet connection (above 1.5MB) in order for both party to hear and talk smoothly. Using a connection that is lower than 1.5MB will caused problems to both parties conversation as they will be lagging and not clear. You can have an option to either choose to use the YES data plan to connect to the voice or use your very provider provided they give good coverage and above 1.5MB of speed.


How you can connect to the voice? All you need to do is just purchase a yesID online and then reload certain amount and you can use it. You can either use the Yes Life Web, Yes Life for iOS and Android or Yes Life for Windows / Mac. It means you can use either way to connect as you need to download the software and then install it in order to use it. The technology works something like Skype or MSN. About the rates, it's pretty reasonable. There are 2 plans to choose from either postpaid or prepaid.

Yes Dongle
 If you chose to subscribe to prepaid, then you need to topup your Yes credit and you have to use a minimum usage of RM30 per month or else you credit will be forfeited. Usage above RM30 can be carried forwarded to the following month. The rates are pay per use. It costs only 9 cents to make call per minute, 1 per sms sent and 3MB of data. It was rather cheap and reasonable where you can call any number at 9 cents per minute (exclude 1-300, 1-800, 100 etc numbers). You can also choose their Valuepacks ranging from RM68 onwards that was bundled with free calls and data. For postpaid, you can choose their data plan but it does not come with free calls and you need to purchase more credits to use the call functions. This plan also comes with a plan + device as well.

Yes Huddle
Overall, Yes Voice technology actually save a lot for those who really enjoying talking on the phone everyday. Like me, I pay RM20-30 lesser than what I am paying to my normal telco right now. The good thing about this voice technology is that it's cheap and call quality is better when you are connected with higher bandwidth (minimum 1.5MB). Why not gran a yesID and get started now. I would recommend you to take this plan if you are into both data and voice and it save a lot too. Start comparing and do get more information on the website Yes Website. If you have any other enquiries that you are unclear about it, do call their customer support hotline at 018-3330000. Enjoy. MY RATING: 5/5

Food Hunt: Tea Garden, Paradigm Mall, Kelana Jaya


Dear All,

Welcome back to another edition of Food Hunt. This time around ME & Alan had selected Tea Garden at Paradigm Mall Kelana Jaya as our destination for dinner after I had done some shopping earlier on. We reached the restaurant at around 8.30pm and the restaurant is quite packed but not full with people considering it's a weekday. Overall, the mall is quite packed with people.


We were then served with the menu after we were shown into our seats. After consideration, we've decided to take the set dinner which is more value for money. I've ordered SET B (RM14.80) which consists of Chicken Chop Rice, Durian Pudding, Lemon Tea Ice as well a small bowl of Kimchi. Based on the amount of food we get for the set, I must say this set is pretty reasonable and worth of trying it. But it's a slight letdown where not many people would love or accept to eat Durian, so perhaps you can ask them to change to others (subject to availability). Alan ordered SET D (RM13.80) which consists of Braised Duck Noodle Soup, Lemon Tea Ice, Durian Pudding & a small bowl of Kimchi.


It does not take very long for the food to arrive and it only takes about 10 minutes for it to arrive. Let's review the SET D that was ordered by Alan. He told alexleow-kimmy.com that the Braised Duck Noodle Soup was a letdown and it's not nice at all. The taste is just so-so and the flavour is totally out too. Other than that, the drinks (Lemon Tea Ice) is nice as it's strong in Lemon taste while the Durian Pudding and Kimchi is also nice with thumbs up too. For SET A that we ordered by ME, I felt it was nice. The Chicken Chop Rice is nice and tasty too as well as the rice which was then cooked together with egg. Yummy! The durian pudding was also nice as it's rich in durian taste as well the the Ice Lemon Tea which is nice too. The Kimchi is also tasty and I guess it's more tasty than some other Korean Restaurants out there. No joke!

Ice Lemon Tea + Durian Pudding


Chicken Chop Rice + Kimchi
Braised Duck Noodle Soup
As a conclusion, we paid RM31.45 (including 10% Service Charge only) for both of the sets and I would say it's pretty reasonable too. The SET A is the most recommended SET among all as it looks pretty attractive. Forget about SET D as it's not nice (I'm talking about the main course) of each set. I would recommend you to come over here at Tea Garden as not only it serves Chinese Food but it also serves Western and other delicacies as well. Enjoy! MY RATING: 5/5 ; ALAN RATING: 3/5

Leisure: Berjaya Times Square, Kuala Lumpur Christmas Decorations 2012




Dear All,

It was a busy packed schedule both of us because after having visited Pavilion Kuala Lumpur and Farenheit 88 Mall, next we both head towards the next and the last mall of the day which is Berjaya Times Square. We reached there around 3.00pm and it was super crowded with people. Mostly because there's a year end sales going on at the mall and do expect heavy crowd until the end of the year. The reason I was there is not because of the sales that is going on but the Christmas Decorations. Every year, Berjaya Times Square decorations does not impress me and what about this year?

 
 
 
 

The theme for Christmas this year that was set by Berjaya Times Square would be "Santa North Park" and it features some pretty simple decorations on toy soldiers, polar bears and Santa’s magical helpers to the majestic 40 feet Christmas tree planted at the centre of the park. Revel in this festive season with a myriad of entertainment. It was a simple decoration yet again and nothing much to impress except there's some improvement on its entrance where there's Toy Soldiers welcoming the Santa to a small town and it's pretty decent as well. There's also a second part of the decorations which situated at the LG floor where you can actually see Santa's rain deers, polar bears and mistletoe as well. Feel free to take photos with them too and I think it's cute too.



 
 

 
Again, it does not impress me this year too and as expected too. However, I would also recommend you to come over here to take photos and the LIVE scenario tells me so as there's less crowd who took photos there compared to Farenheit 88 and Pavilion KL. If happens you are there for a special purpose, then why not drop by and take some photos of the scenes and if you do not any purpose and just come here for photo shooting, I think it's not a wise choice. Anyway, do check out the full photos on alexleow-kimmy.com Facebook Page. Enjoy! MY RATING: 3/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 4/5
 

Leisure: Farenheit 88 Mall Kuala Lumpur Christmas Decorations 2012


Hello All,

I am back again to our second venue of the day here in the hearts of Kuala Lumpur City and this time ME & Kimmy had travel from 1 shopping mall to another and we have visited Farenheit 88 Mall Kuala Lumpur to take a closer look at its Christmas Decorations this year. Themed "A Pop Up Christmas", Farenheit 88 is ready to bring out the festive cheer that features the famous Doraemon inside the mall. The Christmas Decorations commences from 15th November 2013 to 1st January 2013.


I reached the mall at around 1.00pm and it was not crowded and it was so great for us to take photos as there are less crowds inside the mall. The Christmas Decorations inside this mall is nice and it would be more nicer if you are a big fan of Doraemon as this character was featured together with the Christmas Tree inside Farenheit 88 Mall. It's a purple themed Christmas Tree and the decorations is really simple based on the space that the mall can accommodate and nothing much to shout about seriously except Doraemon who catches attention and do check out their stores selling Doraemon products as well.


However, this mall decorations is more suitable for kids or those who love Doraemon and are a big fan of them. Overall, I would still recommend you to come over here to take photos as the purple color is pretty nice as well. Do not expect a huge decorations but just a simple decorations and it's suitable for you to take photos around too. Remember to check out the full photos at alexleow-kimmy.com Facebook Page. Enjoy. MY RATING: 4/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 4/5
 

Leisure: Pavilion Kuala Lumpur Christmas Decorations 2012


Dear All,

Welcome back to yet another edition of Christmas Decoration Edition of the year 2012. It has been a year since I make yet another comeback to be back for yet another mall marathon starting this week. The first venue this week that I would visit is definitely Pavilion Kuala Lumpur as the Christmas Decorations had been setup successfully there. This year theme for the Christmas Decoration as Pavilion would be "Bedazzling Christmas" which commence from 15th November 2012 to 1st January 2013. 


I reached the mall around 11.30am and the crowd started to build and getting more and more people. It was crowded when it's noon as many of them would like to take this opportunity to take beautiful photos of the Christmas decorations there. For me, this year theme and the decorations are still nice and if compared to the previous 2 years back in 2010 and 2011, this year is lack of something as I still prefer the decorations back in 2 years. The decorations are just normal and nothing special about it but it's beauty is still there. Outside decorations seems to reduce and from the inside, it was the same too.


Overall, the decorations still deserves its credits and I would still recommend you to come on over to Pavilion Kuala Lumpur to experience the Christmas Decorations 2012 here. It's not the best this year but it's already given its shoppers a great feel of Christmas and you will simply love it too. For those who never visited Pavilion KL before, you will feel amazed by its decorations but if you have, you might find it just normal for every year (just like what I felt). Anyway, enjoy your trip to Pavilion Kuala Lumpur and have a great shopping and holidays too!
