Just days after cleaning up my Samsung Omnia, I am now thinking of formatting it again. But this time, I will be flashing cooked ROM instead of using official Samsung Omnia ROM. Cooked ROM is a customised ROM where it claims to free up the space taken by some useless programs. One of the reasons of using cooked ROM is that I would like to test the latest Windows Mobile 6.5 since Samsung Omnia’s Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional is not upgradeable. I hope that I will not be disappointed after the flashing my Omnia to a cooked ROM as it seems to be a bit difficult to flash back to official ROM. Anyway, I have the choice to use some other Windows Mobile 6.1 cooked ROM which have proved to be stable.

My weight gaining plan has been going on for five months and I have to say that I am quite please with the results. A few more kilograms and I will have to stop, as that will be my ideal weight even though I am already in the ideal BMI now. However, everything comes with a price. Some of my working shirts and trousers have become very tight. I need to start shopping for new shirts and trousers. My T-shirts still fit since they are stretchable but some of them look small when I wear them. Anyway, I am still hoping to achieve my target weight and from that point onwards, I can concentrate on my training and relax on my eating.

Since I have formatted my Omnia, I believe that I will do it more frequently as long as I backup my personal information such as the contacts, sms and tasks. I felt that the phone is more responsive and cleaner since most of the unused software has been removed. Once thing, which I do not quite understand is the formatting of the internal storage. My Omnia is the 8GB model and even after formatting the internal storage, it only formatted the system files instead of the whole 8GB. I wonder if it was a good thing since it did not clear my files.

One thing which is bothering me now is when my sister called me the other day, the call just ended itself every five minutes or so. It was proved to be my phone problem when my sister called Mee instead and the conversation went on for more than 10 minutes. I reckoned that it was because of the reception at that time or a known problem in the power settings. I have made some adjustment to the power settings and hopefully, it will be fine from now.

In preparation to Mee and my vacation in Barcelona, I have downloaded Spain’s map onto my Omnia’s GPS software. I have done it previously for our Italy’s trip but we did not bother to use it and we were relying purely on the map we obtained from the hotel. However, I believe that this time, we will be using my Omnia and map to guide us.

Few weeks ago, I went to HSBC branch to sort out some queries about my bank accounts with them. At the end of the process, I was asked a few questions about mortgage, loan and insurance. The advisor then said that it was to make sure that irrelevant junk mail will not be mailed to me. However, just days ago, I received a mail on term life insurance online quote and then another letter about a fantastic personal loan rate. I wonder why they asked a bunch of questions and at the end of it, I am still in their junk mailing list.
