Let’s be real, nine out of ten of us today can’t leave the house without our phones. For many people, our entire life is stored within that tiny screen. In this day and age, and especially during this pandemic, we depend on our phones for multiple reasons. 

Other than communicating or dealing with life and death situations, there are many first-world problems that can be easily fixed just by accessing this gadget in our pockets.

 

#1 Streaming TV shows and movies when you’re bored

For nearly a year, we’ve all been stuck in some form of movement control order (MCO). Since we’re staying home most of the time now, you can watch anything you want without fighting over the TV with the people you live with.



Just download Astro GO and you’ll have up to 60,000 videos on demand and over 100 TV channels right at your fingertips! For example, documentaries like Tragedi Covid-19, premium dramas like Penthouse 2 and Projek Anchor SPM (starting 15 March), and programmes for kids like Mr. Bean, Upin & Ipin.
 

#2 Get new recipes when you don’t know what to cook for dinner

There’s a plethora of food recipes, ideas and step-by-step guides out there for you to choose from whenever you get tired of just eating fried rice or instant noodles all the time. Whether you’re looking to whip up a quick-and-easy meal, how to cook the perfect steak or make a red velvet cake from scratch, the tutorials out there are endless… and it’s all accessible in your pocket!

Check out Anis Nabilah who also has a show called Eat Clean with Anis which you can stream on Astro GO.


 

#3 Your stove is broken but you can’t call the repairman

We are strongly encouraged to not allow any visitor to our homes now and this causes huge problems when you need to get something in the house fixed. Try looking for home improvement solutions online, or if an item is broken, you can easily buy a new one!

If you need some home interior ideas, search HGTV Dream Home and stream on Astro GO.



 

#4 Learn how to train your new pet

So you found a little kitten outside your doorstep and you’re now a new pet owner. Then what? If you’re not comfortable sending your new friend to the vet or pet shop, there are several quick help you can find online to help you figure out what to do for the time being. Visiting forums or watching vlogs of fellow pet owners will give you a good idea as well. The learning curve is steep but it’s not impossible!

For more larger than life animal content, you can search Animal Planet and stream on Astro GO.
 

#5 Pick up a foreign language because you want to be more than bi-lingual

There are many websites and apps like Duolingo and Memrise that can help you learn a new language within a short period of time. But another great way to pick up another language is by watching movies you don’t understand with subtitles! We suggest you to go to the “movies” tab in Astro GO, pick a foreign movie and start watching and repeating after the characters, you’ll be reciting in your dreams in no time.

In fact, if you download and install the Astro GO app now, you’ll receive a complimentary movie viewing from Astro First and Astro Best! Some of the movies that’ll be available include The Rescue (starting 4 March), JDT Fearless Document (starting 4 March), Fukushima 50 (starting 6 March),) Shock Wave 2 (21 March), and more!
