The Xperia Z which will be lauch in Singapore on the 1st March 2013. I've registered interest with Singtel and Starhub although there's a higher probability that I will just buy it without a contract.
Not a tech geek and neither am I one who changes my phone frequently. For now, I'm looking for a phone with a longer lasting battery life. Probably the Xperia Z.
These are the important features that I'm looking in a smartphone. A stylish and sleek design, brilliant display, good camera, and a relatively long battery life. Hmmmm. Am I'm pretty pleased with android so far! Xperia S almost satisfies all. It just falls short on the battery life. It definitely can't last for 24 hours even with light usage.
According to Sony mobile website,
Xperis Z: talktime is (up to) 11hours and standby time (up to) 550hours
Xperis S: talktime is (up to) 8hour and 30minutes, standby time (up to) 420 hours
Weighing just 2 grams more than Xperia S, Xperia Z's display is at 5 inch and is relatively larger than the Xperia S which is at 4.3 inch. I'm already pretty satisfied by the size of S as I can browse through websites with ease and comfort without squinting my eyes. Z's larger and I hope the size won't be bulky.
Z's dust and water resistant (1m, up to 30minutes) with HDR video. I was like thinking that the only time that this feature will be put to good use when one wants to take shots in the swimming pool, or while snorkelling. And oh ya! Now, it's possible to 'wash your phone'.
Been an owner of several Sony phones. The K800i (thumbs up), Xperia X10 mini (crap) and the Xperis S (more than satisfied). Hmm. Xperia Z?
Reviews from CNET Asia:
'Should you get this phone? If you are insistent on a full-HD display and an all-rounded feature set, the answer is a resounding yes. While it doesn't have an impressive battery life, the Xperia Z's stamina is at least comparable to popular smartphones such as the iPhone 5 and Galaxy S3--whih means heavy users should always have a backup external battery pack handy.'

January Adventure.
There are times in Tamworth that I wanted to type a new entry, but time and the limited connection doesn't allow me to do so.
All in all, this had been an good experience. In a sense, it made me more aware of myself and my limitations. Now, having once being a flyer myself, I'm able to better appreciate what military fliers do.
Awaiting for another door to open up shortly. :)

The gentle, sweet, freezed and fermented rawfruit badass.
Inniskillin 2008 Riesling.
From Canada.
Sweet, nectar textured with fruity notes.
An addition of a 'rock' and pairing it with sweet grapes toned down the sweetness of the drink. Am not sure whether it's a faux pas for a rock to be in the picture, hmm. But heck it. It does really taste better this way.
At DFS, I was enquiring about the recommended types. And I was told by the staff that Riesling that is inside the pretty silver colored box, was 'Lychee flavored'. How layman is the explanation right? But yea, that did entice me to get just that.
'Riesling based Icewine is renowned for its acidity and mineral notes. Its vivid orange and citrus tones will combine with a rich range of creamy and decadent food textures and tastes, from foie gras to crème brulée'. Gosh. Where's lychee? Haha.
Ice wine is indeed expensive, but it's not for a no good reason.
''Once the extreme temperatures arrive, Icewine pickers arrive, often in the dead of night, to harvest the frozen clusters. The precious grapes are immediately pressed in the extreme cold to extract the luscious nectar. In this process, the water content in each grape remains frozen in crystals, leaving only a few coveted drops of concentrated, intense liquid. Icewine yields are a mere 10-15% of an average table wine harvest. Slowly fermented over the coming months, this delicate nectar will eventually become Icewine.''
Each grape yield a small quantity of liquid. Imagine an almost dried fruit with only a little moisture remaining. The quality and quantity justified it's cost.
Wouldn't settle for another gift for the occasion ;D
