PC Doctor Recommendation: If you face any problem with your PC or computer-related devices, you can call CS Lim (+6012 3858 999), who's my ex-colleague. When my friends ask me if I know any technician, he's always the one I recommend. More importantly, all of them are very satisfied with his service and charges. He's serving around KL/Selangor. When you call, just tell that you know him from "Ah Haan" (don't miss out the 'Ah', coz this is how they called me).
Recently, I bought a new mobile phone.
For those who know me well, they already said, FINALLY YOU DID THAT!
I don't actually understand why people kept asking me to abandon the old phone, which was still working well, but just with less functionalities and doesn't look that handsome.
I changed coz it has got something wrong.
When the salesman helped me to move the SIM card to the new baby, he saw the battery of my old phone, and...
Then, I started to imagine... one night, I charge the phone then go to sleep. In the middle of night, I feel the heat, wake up and see fire all around...
It's kinda scary!!!
Before writing this post, I actually double confirmed with my elder brother if this is true. He said yes, then I decided to share the information.
Basically, I'm neither a car person, a mobile person nor a Wii person (was just teased not long ago).
I used to stop using mobile phone over the years 2003-2004, and was always blamed by my friends. When I resumed the life with that equipment, I did not have much idea what model to buy.
I went to the shop and asked, what's the cheapest model and how much is it, then went away with a new but not bombastic phone together with a newly bought SIM card. Who knows, nowadays I'm working in the mobile industry. What a great big shame!!
Anyway, the purpose of writing this post is to convey the message that, perhaps we should not charge our mobile phone overnight, when we are in deep sleep. Not to say others, almost all of my family members do so.
You don't wish to wake up in fire, do you?? ^_^

He: Wow! This battery is going to explode anytime!!
Me: Explode??? Why???
He: The battery is so FAT already, don't you see it?
Me: I don't know wor... I've been using it for years. Never change.
Me: By the way, how would it explode? Will it explode when I'm on the phone, and then I lose my ear?
He: When you charge it, it may burn.
Then, I started to imagine... one night, I charge the phone then go to sleep. In the middle of night, I feel the heat, wake up and see fire all around...

This is the comparison between the old and new batteries. The difference is pretty obvious.
Let's be more scientific. The thickness of the old battery is more than 0.5cm.
The new one is less than 0.5cm.

CH, coolku, i though people will laugh at me for not having such knowledge :) if you pay a visit to the mobile phone shop next time, maybe can ask for more info, and share with us?
Wow, I never know battery could get FAT! Anyway I'm not used to charging phone overnight, but still it's better to go check battery randomly. I think everyone should take note of this.
jason, it's written on the battery BL-4C (for Nokia). i guess that's the model name?
