KRU singer recovers phone he lost at Universal Studios Singapore, thanks the person responsible
A fun family day out at a theme park had a sad ending for Malaysian singer Yusry Abdul Halim of pop trio KRU when he discovered he had lost his phone. Thankfully, the sadness was short-lived as he managed to recover the device. The KRU lead singer took to social media to recount the incident and thank the good Samaritan who found the phone he lost during a trip to Universal Studios Singapore (USS) late last month. In a Jun 30 post on Threads, Yusry shared that he lost his phone near the Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure ride while visiting the park with his wife and three kids the previous day. He wrote in a mix of English and Malay: 'Felt quite miserable about it. But what to do… Made a report; hope for the best & expect the worst! Just assume that the phone is lost." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Yusry Abdul Halim (@yusryabdhalim) The 52-year-old singer added that after visiting the theme park, he went back to a relative's house for dinner. The story took a happy turn when his wife received a phone call from USS at 7.45pm to say that they had found a phone matching the description of his lost device. Yusry went on to thank the person responsible for returning the phone. "Whoever found an iPhone with a black cover and returned it, may Allah repay your kindness and grant you abundance. Thank you so much.' KRU consists of three brothers: Yusry Abdul Halim, Edry Abdul Halim and Norman Abdul Halim. Formed in 1992, KRU ruled Malaysia's music charts in the 90s and early 2000s with hit songs such as Fanatik, Jangan Lafazkan and Awas. The group was in town for a Jun 28 concert at The Star Theatre. In December 2024, the trio released a new song, Voodoo, six years after they disbanded in 2018. With Voodoo, they became the first Malaysian act to incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) for a music video.

A Pixel 8 was left in a hot tub for four days, here's what happened
Adamya Sharma / Android Authority TL;DR A Pixel 8 owner lost their phone during vacation. Their device was found four days later, submerged in a hot tub. The phone continues to work without issue. There are plenty of mishaps that can occur while on travel, but one of the worst may arguably be losing your phone. A Pixel 8 owner recently found themselves in just such a situation. In what turned out to be a real-life stress test, the ending to this story is quite surprising. According to Reddit user Intrepid-Ad3513, to celebrate a holiday and four additional days off, they traveled to Poland with a group of friends. While on vacation, the group stayed at an Airbnb with various amenities, including a hot tub. The Redditor states that one night, they got so drunk that they lost their Pixel 8 on the first day of the trip. Despite searching for it, the group was unable to locate the missing device. On the fifth day, as the group headed back home, Intrepid-AD3513 was surprised by a video the Airbnb owner sent them. The video showed the owner fishing the missing Pixel 8 out of the hot tub. The Redditor mentions that the water in the hot tub reached up to 45 degrees Celsius (113 degrees Fahrenheit). After finding the phone, the Airbnb owner packaged the Pixel 8 up and sent it to Intrepid-AD3513. In a huge upset to expectations, the phone was still in working order after the user unwrapped the package and plugged the device into the charger. The user also shared an image of the handset working without issue. The Pixel 8 has an IP68 rating, meaning it can prevent ingress of dust and protect against water for long periods of time. However, this rating is for 30 minutes of water immersion, not four days. So, the fact that the phone seems perfectly intact is astonishing. One commenter jokes that the water was probably keeping the device cooler than usual, as Pixel phones are commonly known to get warm. The Redditor says that they wrote the post with their Pixel 8 and that, 'I will never buy another phone other than a Pixel.' Got a tip? Talk to us! Email our staff at Email our staff at news@ .
