So, my 2 years+ HTC One finally up lorried, 2 weeks after being completely submerged in water.
Thankfully, it made a "fake recovery", allowing me to recover all the data inside before the screen was killed.
I have been using HTC for a VERY LONG time. From the Desire to HTC One - about 7 years.
While I still love their design, I decide to go for a different brand this time to "switch things up". The main reason being their flagship seems to be getting worse while still being overpriced.
At first I thought of getting something cheaper like xiaomi, but guess I was too deeply "poisoned" to go back to using a 'non-premium' phone haha.
Finally decided on the S6 after a day of reviews reading. And it stood up to the hype.
I think I have absolutely zero complains with the phone aside from the average battery.
1. Amazing build/grip/feel. Gone are the cheapo plastic. I would place it on the same level of the HTC flagships, only much lighter.
2. Minimalist software. One of the biggest reason I didn't go Samsung earlier was because of their bloated Touchwiz. This is all gone now in this version, and I'm super impress. They stripped it down to bare essentials with minimal nonsense.
3. In terms of UI, I would still give a slight edge to HTC, but it's really close now. Samsung more than makes up for it by offering some pretty cool and actually useful features like multi-window and fingerprint scanning.
4. The camera is freaking amazing. It totally BLOWS HTC out of the water. You can go read all the reviews, and this truly stands as one of the best smartphone camera of 2015.

I have been using it for barely a day, and I'm already falling in love with it.
I think this is one purchase I won't regret.

Langkawi Trip!
My first real overseas trip in a really long time!
To keep it short. I had a lot of fun and I think it's a really good place to get away from the 'cities'.
The trip main event was XJ proposal, which was a great success!
I really enjoyed the road trip feel, where we rent our own vehicle, and blast/sing music in the van.
The drinking session on the first night was also the most intense one I've ever had. I finally know what it felt like to reach the stage where you 'can't walk in a straight line'.
It's a really 'high' feeling though. The best is to reach the 'sweet spot' where you're not throwing up, your mind is still pretty clear but your physical world is slightly spinning. It's a really good feeling.
Other than that, we went island hopping to a few nearby islands (which was quite tiring) and just took lots of photos.
The only 败笔 came on the last day, when I careless forgot my phone is in my pocket... and jump into the water -.-

That will be the story for the next post.
