I've picked up the color munki "smile" the cheapest version available from their product line. Once the monitor was calibrated, it looks so cyan... no warm heart feelings any more :( Is it because of sudden change?

It really makes me think that this product is working or not...
I wish I can show you guys my screen shot....

Mine is the same way, but calibrating the monitors to the printer shows prints that are outstanding, regardless of the bluish/cyan tint my laptop now has.

If you don't trust it, try doing the calibration again.

What temperature did you set the monitor to in doing the calibration?

I really didn't set the temperature, my preset mode was sRGB which looked okay. I might try with different preset

I didn't get that effect on my MacBook Pro Retina, the adjustment was very minimal actually. Makes me also wonder if it's actually working.

sRGB is a colour space, which describes the range of colour values your device can show (or capture). However, your software will typically target the colour temperature (white balance) to a given temperature. My Xrite profiler is set to 6500K, which is probably the most commonly used; other options are 5000K, 5500K ("standard daylight"), and 7500K. Higher K values will mean a bluer picture.
