How Free Spotify Premium with Maxis One Plan Works and How to Subscribe/Unsubscribe It

Yes, as a lot of Maxis One Plan users may not know, their Maxis One Plan 98, 128, 158 and 188 actually comes with free Spotify Premium subscription from 14 December 2015 to 30 September 2016. The last Maxis-Spotify promotion I took part back in early 2014 was a RM10-per-month price cut offer. It was bad experience, that it does not come with free mobile data, and will not cut off automatically when the offer ended. Therefore, I had to set a calendar to remind myself from unsubscribing it, and it took me 30 minutes of troubleshoot with the customer service to figure how to unsubscribe the service. End up actually I only need to disconnect from WIFI to do it on the Maxis network. And yes, this is what this article all about. In order to trigger the free Spotify Premium subscription or unsubscribe from it, all you need to do is to access the Maxis Spotify Portal  on Maxis network. How to do it? Just turn off your phone WIFI and use the mobile data to open that page , then you'll s

Blog | The Need of Change in Organisational Culture for Companies to Survive Through the Experience Era

In the past decade, digital natives are struggling to work in a half-transformed digital working environment, due to the difficulties of change management led by, in most organisation, senior managements, who are either digital immigrants, or so-called 'digital dinosaur'. But it is not just digitalisation that has happened over the past decade, the world has entered the post-digitalisation era, which somewhat referred as 'Experience Era', which the workforce gradually popularised by digital wisdoms, as defined by Marc Prensky in his work . For most established companies that are struggling to survive the transformation of post-digitalisation, the organisation culture has to be redesigned through a human-centred approach to achieve experiential excellence at every level from workgroup to the company as a whole. Besides, the change management for the organisation cultural realignment has to be from top-down, and to aim for breakthrough innovations. Specifically, the

How-to | Update Apps on Your iPhone Through iTunes

So I got a new laptop and wanted to utilize the office internet to update my apps. But too bad the company network team's WIFI policy doesn't allow us lower rank staff to update Windows, Android nor Apple Apps and OS, we only allows to update our stuff with the LAN connection. So I plugged in  my iPhone to the laptop, open iTunes and sync the phone. Sync finished, but the Apps in my phone remain unchanged. Inside the "Apps" page of my phone settings, I can see my Apps appears on the Home screen but not in the left-hand side list. Searched on Google and found this but not particularly helpful. Can't complaint much as the last post was in 2013. But simply sync the iPhone to iTunes just won't update the Apps. So I tried to click around and found my apps in the iTunes App Store "Purchased" page. Apparently you'll need to download back the Apps into your computer using the iTunes App Store before you can update them back to your iPhon

How-to | Move Photo from one Album to another on Facebook

A friend called and ask about how to feature a photo on her Facebook photo album (she uploaded a set of photo) to make it more visible while shared. So I quickly took some photo on my screen to give her the step-by-step. Today I was cleaning up my photo in the phone and, instead of just throw them into the trash bin, I though might as well post it up just in case anyone else needed it. So here's how you feature a photo inside your Facebook Album. Step 1: To get started, you'll need to create an album for the photo, featuring it from your Mobile Upload album doesn't make much sense. Step 2: Move the photo in your set of photo into the album by using the Options menu on the bottom-right corner of your photo. Step 3: Now open the album. There's plenty of ways to do it, the simple one is to click on the album name at the bottom-left corner of your photo. Extra: You can drag-and-drop to move your photo sequence, if you need to. Step 4: To fe

Movie | Inside Out: Be Brave [Spoiler Alert]

I think the best part of the movie Inside Out, is that, at some point, most of the people, particularly young people, and many of the adults, wouldn't know what should we do with our sadness. It is very true that, in life, we always focus much on pursuing happiness but ignore the fact about sadness always have to coexist with happiness, like a reflection, like the yin-yang coexistence if you understand what I am talking about, if you don't, never mind. I especially like the part where the emotions are trying too hard to be happy, and ended up become nothing but a mess. That's very true in life, isn't it? Almost every time, every time we do something and expect it to end happily ever after, things always got turned the other way round and we ended up having to pretend to be still happy about it, even though we're actually not. To me, the moral from the movie, is that if you have the courage to pursue happiness, you should also be brave enough to let yours

Design Thinking Changed My Way of Working

I came across the concept of Design Thinking during a team building session with Khairul Anwar . It was a 3-day introductory programme that Khairul bring us through the overall journey of how companies like Google and banks design their product using this customer-centric process, and of course we went through a really simplified version of DT journey to get some taste of Design Thinking. Design Thinking Crash Course by Khairul Anwar, DT Leadership. The crash course started with requesting each of us to send in a T-Profile for the coach to know a little bit about us, that really differentiate itself with normally how we did a pre-training survey using online forms, it makes me feel personal, and the coach care about who I am. T-Profile Then we went through the whole design thinking process practice in light speed including the spaghetti challenge, the prototype challenge, and then the all five stages of design thinking. Design Thinking Process It was really innovativ
