U Mobile adds UMI 38 Plan with Free Messaging

Leave a reply

U Mobile today introduces new unlimited Internet prepaid plan UMI 38 with 500MB high-speed quota,200 minutes talking time and 30 sms for 30 days.It’s said to be the best balanced plan and should fit most people’s daily use.

Well,U Mobile also informed that a new service called ‘Free Messaging’ is available to all UMI 28, UMI 38 and UMI 48 subscribers. ‘Free Messaging’ service is based on the partnership with two popular mobile apps – Kakao Talk and WeChat. It allows KaKao Talk and WeChat users freely chat with friends,send photos or any other in-app features without reducing your data quota.Is that awesome?


U Mobile is very smart.As they are one of the smallest mobile service providers in Malaysia.They are really hard to compete against the giants such as Maxis/Celcom. The best way to attract more customers is to know the trend and produce innovative services .I think now they are on the right track.

New Balance Classics 500

Leave a reply

I was considering to get a pair of new sports shoes for quite a long time since my last one was dead after years of usage.However,I can’t find one with a reasonable price and good comments until I found New Balance Classics 500 on Zalora( the sister company of Lazada) days ago.

It’s a bit retro style,but it fits me well.New Balance always designs for comfortable wear and it never fails me.I bet that you can’t imagine how cheap it could be.As the shoes is short in size(only US 9 in stock which is just my size),it sells at the discounted price RM100.9/USD33.6 only.What a bargain!


The only worry buying shoes online is we can’t try it first.Luckily I made a correct measurement and my feet could get comfortable when wearing it. Continue reading →
