Fun and Safety First with FUNA - Family Locator

Big Bad Wolf Books sale finally over liao. At least for this year. 

Wanna know something funny? The sales venue was so large that Mamarazzi had to resort to this to keep in touch with me. Kept worrying that I might go missing or got kidnapped. Reception for this “toy walkie-talkie” was pretty bad

Then Auntie Claire said since I have handphone, why not install FUNA in my phone? FUNA is a family locator apps. It provide REAL-Time update of a family member’s location . The apps even have a SOS alarm. Papa  and Mamarazzi can come to my rescue if I trigger the alarm. What’s more is that the apps is FREE.

Aiyoyo…Mamarazzi sees the word FREE …of course she will go and “investigate” la. 

Yesterday morning while having breakfast at Mamak Stall, she downloaded the apps. Yes, our home WIFI doing the Chipsmore dance and she thought this apps would use up a lot of data. So go Mamak and download lah. Surprise surprise....it was less than 20MB leh. Won't make her phone lag.

Very easy. Once downloaded, they sent her a verification Verification code and the rest as they say is history

 One hand clap no sound, right? So Mamarazzi sent a request to Papa phone via FUNA apps so that she can test out the apps. Location was accurate and it even provide the estimated distance.

Some maybe concern about privacy. Well, ones can opt to share or not to share ones location. Ones can say not sharing the location may defeat the purpose of the apps but like the songs says “everyone need a little time away~far away~ from each other~”.

Anyway, for like me...Mamarazzi would feel much better if I kept the share location turn on so that she knows my where about without having to keep calling me. Mana tau if I "ponteng"(play truant) tuition or what. Of course cannot keep calling me when am in tuition mah.

Mamarazzi don’t have to worry about “bad people” knowing my location as the location is confidential and only visible to family members or the ones that I added add into my  circle. 

If anything happened or if I needed help, I can always trigger an SOS alert.

 

Papa and/or Mamarazzi will receive an alert on their phone. They can opt either to call me and find out what’s the problem and/or they can navigate come and find me.

Very easy. Just press Navigate .

 

And the whatever navigation apps in their phone will take care of the rest.

 

Hmm….. I wonder if this apps can help me locate my phone as I kept misplacing it. If it can, maybe can use this to find lost/stolen phone too ya? Haven’t tried. If the thief did not switch off or reset the phone then can locate the phone gua.

Hmm…Papa and Mamarazzi thought only they can track me ah? I also can track them you know! Where’s my food? Say go buy food for me but till now not home yet.

Bluff me! say "on the way, on the way" .  I checked the apps and it shows that  they went “international roaming”. The map history shows zigzag here and there . Pusing till my head also sees stars.

 

 But no fear, according to the apps…another 5 minutes my "chicken rice” will arrive home. Get ready the fork and spoon liao. Hungry ahhhhhhh!!!

It was a rainy evening....cold ah.... hungry. Hmmm...one of the ust when go Cameron Highland is Steamboat lor...there are many steamboat restaurants around ....so just need to pakai hentam la... Saw this steamboat restaurant and there was a empty parking space right in front of it as another car had just drove away...okay...this one la.

They have this steamboat buffet...RM25 per person if Mamarazzi recall correctly. Buffet is for the vegetables and noodles  only lah but still okay for us.

Portion for 2 person. Quite a lot also. 

Just dump everything into the soup. They have herbal soup, normal clear soup and tom yam soup. Ahem ahem..no tomato soup ka? Heard from Uncle TM that Tomato soup very sedap wor

Apalagi..... eat while it's still warm... hungry liao la...

After eating, we decided to drive around and see if there are anything opened that day...usually the Pasar malam (night market) opens weekend only but mamarazzi spotted some stall are open despite that day not a weekend.

Brrrrrr...cold ah...raining ah....

There are plenty of display rack too for the cactus. Price around RM10 and above. Didn't buy any. Coz waiting and see maybe other place the price will be cheaper.

Hoooowwlsome BiG Bad Wolf Books 2015 Preview

 Guess where did we go yesterday? Long time readers of this blog will not hesitate  and answer THE BIG BAD WOLF BOOKS SALE PREVIEW coz Mamarazzi have been raving about this sale since....forever...

Arrived just in time to see Mr Wolf give opening speech to officiate the grand opening of the sale.

Then comes the pretty girls.....okay la...got guys also la....dancing the Twist and  Limbo Rock....how low can you go? 

Got pretty girls  talented girls ah...of course i wanna go take photo la. Mamarazzi  did not bring her camera..so i used my tablet our tablet to snap photo lo...mind you ...i did not block anyone ah..i stand one side to snap photo ah.

Pretty soon we get to go in liao...following the Wolf to his Lair

We were greeted by a plane full of pressie...wooohoo.......yup Christmas  is coming...BBW is just the place to get loads of lovely pressie for everyone. 

And of course there are loads and loads of books at the sale. 

Errr...too many photos  to post up here. You can hop over to Big Bad Wolf Books Facebook  to view the selection for this year. 

This year there are plenty of Geronimo Stilton books at rm10 per book. Can find Geronimo graphic novel there too at RM10 per book. So cheap.

Not only Geronimo in English but she also managed to find Geronimo in Bahasa Malaysia  . What a good find...only RM5 per book. Inside there's a badge too. 

She said these Geronimo Stilton  just nice for me la coz Mamarazzi said being in Chinese school, i need to boost up my Bahasa Malaysia . I don't like to read books with a lot of words punya. I like Geronimo Stilton books as they are colorful and the words comes in interesting  shapes .

A lot of Chima /Ninjago books there too. Prices ranges from RM6 to RM10 per book. But being stingy Mamarazzi  grabbed the cheapest...RM10 2-in-1 Ninjago books for me.

She thought her spectacles  need to change when she saw these..OMG!!! Garfield 3-in-1 comic at RM15 only?... Fast fast whatsapps and FB...wah... phone keep on beeping...request to tumpang buy. Yup..grabbed  many of these for ourselves and friends too.

Hmm....maybe Mamarazzi should have grabbed more and resell...resell at Rm20 a book still got people buy punya kan..

Don't  worry...Mamarazzi left quite a lot for you to grab today...There are many other titles too. There are big sized comic..medium size ...and even pocket size.

Big Nate books also comes in color as compared to previous year which was black and white only. RM10. Okay la...RM2 extra for the color...looks nicer mah

Sobs sobs...Mamarazzi  only found 1 Tin Tin book...her friend said another visitor found hardcover Tin Tin wor... but they tried and search also can't  find. Maybe people sapu all liao. Have to wait for new stock. No worries. The minions there will keep re-stocking though titles maybe different.

And thank you to a pretty  Jie Jie in the BBW Minion team. She tried to help Mamarazzi 's friend to find Tin Tin too.

Another good buy all due to Mamarazzi's  pal. Initially  Mamarazzi  took 1 only but her pal told her that this book is from a famous educational  TV series. You know la...ask Mamarazzi  about books she will know la but talk about TV series....she blur sotong one..some people can pray to the TV likes to watch tv..but she likes books.

Mamarazzi recently read some of Francesca Simon's books and found that they are very entertaining  though it's  for kids. Yeah...these are for young readers..friend tumpang buy punya...a good choice.

Not much Archie...only found these. Yesterday Mamarazzi  posted up and a friend asked these days  people still reads Archie ka...LoL ...Mamarazzi  and me still reads Archie lo..

Okay okay...take a break...actually  there are plenty more books but Mamarazzi  typing this using tablet...manyak susah wanna tuk tuk typing here and upload photos..still lesen lembu...snapped hundreds of photos but internet too slow to upload all. Those who knows Mamarazzi's Facebook. .Go to her Facebook  and see la...it's  just a small portion  there.

Oh..the food court this year have plenty of food selection too. AUNTIE  CLAIRE..there got Teo Chew Chendul. .the one you like...what's  the name ah...now Mamarazzi  blur like still high from the hunt..

For me..i stick to Papa John ..RM7 a pizza and a drink.

Best is to go to BBW to see for yourself. This year, Mamarazzi grabbed mostly picture books and graphic  novel as they are very cheap.

Same as previous  years...she did not have time to go through all sections of the BBW sale...only managed to go through Children and graphic novel section. No time to go fiction and non-fiction at all.  Walked for 7 hours, from 10am to 5pm still not enough.

Got stuck at the queue when paying coz many customers  were paying too as most have the same thought... to beat the after work traffic.

Bumped into Mr Wolf on our way out. Gave him our feedback. As usual..he have a big heart and receptive to both positive and negative comments.

The wolf team gave good service yesterday. Hopefully..today henceforth will be smooth sailing.

Oh ya...thanks for the soothing music play by the DJ yesterday. Very calming when come to choosing books. Too much noise is not good when wanna select a book. Can't  think.

Oh ya...one more prize....yesterday  just in time to get the Night Time BBW bookmarks too...ayes, this year they have two designs...day time and nightime.... it's  simply hooooowwwlllllllsooome.
