First CNY Celebration for Mun Huen

This is the first Chinese New Year (CNY) celebration for my daughter, Mun Huen. The first day, we were in Kuala Lumpur (my mother’s house).

The traffic was not too bad this year. It took us 2 hours to reach Bidor using the North South Expressway (NSE) from Jalan Duta exit and from Bidor to Jalan Duta when we are heading back to Kuala Lumpur.

Planet iPhones for Everyone

Do you own an iPhone? Don’t know where to get the latest news on iPhone. Planet iPhones, the ultimate online iPhone community, is the place you should pay a visit. You can find forums, applications, downloads, wallpapers and accessories related to iPhones in Planet iPhones’ categories.

The major topic found in the forum discussion are Official SDK, Planet iPhones, Accessories, iPod Touch, iPhone Software, iPhone Modification and iPhone Downloads. In Official SDK, you will find General SDK Chat, Applications, Beta Testers and SDK Developers as the sub-topic. This Official SDK topic is dedicated to all iPhone SDK Developers. iPhone SDK Developer will find this topic interesting and useful because they can share information within themselves. Personally, I am not interested to iPhone SDK now. You will have Introduction/Rules, News, Repository Discussion, General iPhone Chat, Anything Goes and Site Feedback/Suggestions in Planet iPhones. While iPhone Accessories and iPod Touch Accessories is fall under Accessories topic. The sub-topic such as General iPod Touch Chat and iPod Touch Modding are in iPod Touch topic. The interesting sub-topic I like is iPhone Software’s sub-topic Software Development, iPhone Native Applications and iPhone Web Applications. For newbie, I would like to recommend to read these sub-topic Tutorials, Troubleshooting/Technical Support (AT&T), Troubleshooting/Technical Support (Non-AT&T), File Mods and Skin/Theme Creation in iPhone Modification topic. For iPhone freak, these sub-topic New Skins/Themes, iPhone Wallpapers, iPhone Media and Stock Files which falls under iPhone Downloads will attract your interest.

However, you can read cool post of various new iPhone applications in Planet iPhones and download hundreds of iPhone wallpapers without any annoying embedded watermarks in the wallpaper from Planet iPhones too. You can also look for cool iPhone accessories in Planet iPhones.
