Late Nite Post

I’m currently sketching up a post for a competition which will officially end this coming Friday.  But before that I pretty much need all the details so that I wouldn’t have any redudant post later.  I’ve actually completed a script, but due to the requirements for the following 2 days, I had to make some minor adjustments.  So hopefully eveything will be out by tomorrow.  So that I can proceed on finalizing the script.  So do look forward to that.  Hahaha.

Anyway, tonight I’m currently blogging on Deluxe’s laptop as she told me it was running very slowly.  Found out that it was due to the anti-virus which kept on scanning the whole time thus taking up most of the resources that was running on her laptop.  So at the moment just doing a little bit of maintainence and at the same time just post up something here.

Again, thanks to Ruey once again as she managed to tempt me in getting something which I thought was never possible but apparently gave me something to think about.  It’s the Apple Peel 520, which actually turns your Ipod Touch (currently working for 1st, 2nd & 3rd Generation Ipod) into a usable phone.  You can actually send SMS as well as make phone calls with it.  So imagine the wonders you can do with it.  Currently there are people selling on eBay which cost about USD130 inclusive of shipping.  But I’m still trying to find other options.

But, after doing a bit of research on it.  I found out that apparently there seems to be a few glitches especially for the Ipod version 3.1.3 as either it turns off halfway as well as call drops once in a while.  Almost went and pressed the Buy It Now button if I didn’t decide to check out on what other problems that I might encounter. Hehehe.  Another down side is that, when you receive calls you won’t be able to tell you who called you as no name will appear on the call.  You won’t be able to adjust the volume of the ringtone, as well as even changing it.  I’ll definitely keep an eye out on this, as who knows they might come up with a better feature in the future.  Especially supporting 3G.  They’re expecting to ship by next week, and hopefully they will fix all the problems by then.

Currently installing some free apps on the Ipod touch for Esther.  As she’s co-using it along with Deluxe. And to be honest, I don’t really fancy the Iphone 4 that much.  Was thinking of getting it for Deluxe, as I think she really deserve one.  And I know someone would say probably the reason why I get it for her and hopefully she won’t get use to it.  So at the end of the day it will fall back into my hands.  Now that would probably be wishful thinking. Hehehe.  That’s was why I got her the Ipod (which I thought I got it for a bargain) for her in the first place, as she hardly have the time to switch on her laptop and check her emails or see what are her friends doing on facebook.  So with that, after updating the firmware and installing some software it went to her all the way.  Never really touch it after that.  So if I do get an Iphone in the future, you can be sure you won’t be able to see me using it.  Just to let you know, Deluxe is able to check her emails and forward me stuff almost everyday already. Hahaha.  So I know it would end up in good hands.

So what else is new?  Nothing much really.  Trying to prepare myself for this coming Wednesday as I’m supposed to give a brief talk and more to Q &A session.  So basically that’s pretty much about it.  You guys take care, and thanks for visiting.

Holankia Talkshow #9 – Iphone4 Digi Vs Maxis

Holankia Talk Show

Ok, tonight show is basically me going solo due to the fact that Kevin wasn’t able to join me due to the fact that he was sick.  So I’ve decided to go ahead, even though I wasn’t feeling too good as well.  So tonight’s topic is deciding factor on which telco provider is cheaper for Iphone 4.  Earlier on when I did a rough calculation I thought the difference would only be 1-200.  But when I used Excel to calculate, it seems that Maxis will only be cheaper provided if you tend to make more phone calls.

So in conclusion, I think it goes down on which type of users will you be at the end of the day.  If you tend to talk more(over 200 mins), I suggest you use Maxis.  But in terms of SMS and Data plan, Digi will be a better choice as the free SMS offered by Maxis is only applicable to Maxis users only.  And their data plan is charged at RM0.10/10kb and will be capped at RM250.  Anyway, you can download the excel file which I’ve created for your reference only.  And the calculation was based on calls, as I didn’t do in terms of SMS or Data plan.  So you decide on which provider you would like to use.

Anyway, in this show I managed to call Richard and check up on him to see how’s he doing.  And at the end, I did a cover of Runaway Train by Soul Asylum.  Sit back and enjoy.

After 2 & Mooncake Festival

As you all pretty much would have known that last night was the last day for the mooncake festival at carpenter street.  So Deluxe, Esther and myself wanted to have the so called last walk before they all decided to pack and leave us to wait for another year long.  But before that, we head over to After 2 had our dinner.  Just to let you know the pictures from the menu itself never really looks like the actual food.  Anyway, here’s what we had.

Lemon Grass Chicken Rice Set with Fruits RM8.80

The taste on this was ok.  But it did took a while for it to arrive.  The sauce was a bit sweet and spicy as I would recall, but the chicken itself is kinda tough.  Maybe they either over cooked it or didn’t cook it well enough.  Any how, we were given a small plates of fruits as well.  Fruits was a bit bitter, especially the honey dew just to let you know.

Herbal Chicken Rice with Fruits @ RM8.80

Again the picture from the menu didn’t quite exactly looked like this.  I guess it’s all marketing I suppose.  Never the less the taste was ok, but it would have been better if they didn’t added the over fried onions into it.  But anyhow, if you ordered this set it also comes with the fruit plate minus the salad.  At least this chicken was slightly well done compared to mine.  If you love ginseng and chinese herbs you might want to get this.

In conclusion, the food was all right.  We spent about RM20 including 2 drinks (barley RM1.40, Chinese tea RM1) for the two of us.  The place seems to be OK with air condition as well as free wifi.  But it was kinda disturbing to see flies actually flying around inside the place, plus mosquitoes as well.  So it was kinda a set back when we actually noticed them after we placed our orders.  But the place has less menu though compared to After 3.

After that, we headed over to Carpenter Street for the last time before heading back home.  As we walked pass the places, quite a number of stalls was not there. Probably it was due to the fact that maybe everyone else was at home having a family dinner.  We ended up getting a few stuff just before we call it a night.

Gourmet Jumbo Sausage @ RM4

Mayonnaise Hot Dog RM2

Empress Dragon Peanut Balls @ RM3

So that’s pretty much about it.  Didn’t bring out my A70 last night was due to the fact I forgotten to charge my batteries.  Hehe.  So yeah, it’s like that.  You guys have a nice day now.

Working Hazard

For those who have been wondering when Digi Iphone4 will be out despite receiving an email from them stating it will be out this week. The official launching will be on the 24.09.2010. But you might want to read this article regarding their pricing. Digi Iphone4 Details. Maybe this time round, Maxis might win the hearts of many in terms of pricing. We shall see how it goes within the next 24-48 hours.

Ok,  I know I’ve not really been posting much as I am a bit tied up at the moment.  Due to the fact that next week I’ll be having a Q&A session in one of the collages here in Kuching.  So I’m busy setting up some website as an example on how to get started, as well as some guides on developing websites.  So basically that’s my project at hand at the moment.

For the past few days, I’ve been thinking a lot lately on how to improve on a lot of areas in my life.  Well for starters, I think I have a very way of managing time.  Even though I have a nice time table, task and all that.  Somehow I tend to procrastinate one way or another. Yup, that’s how bad I am.  And I know what my problem is, just that I’m not doing anything much about it.  So that’s pretty much about it.  A good example you can see from my blogging, even though I tried to make an effort to blog daily, but I tend to delay and ended up not blogging at all.  So hopefully you shall see some new updates soon as I’ve just completed updating the podcast page.  Plus I’ve already added a live chat room which will be used during the recording session.  We shall see how it goes later.

That’s pretty much about it for my work today working on this site.  As I tend to fine tune it a little just to make the site more complete.  Plus like I said, I’m currently trying to add another site for selling my used stuff which will be up within the next few days again.  Hopefully I will be able to get it done by this weekend.  Apart from that, the mooncake festival here at Carpenter Street will end tonight.  So will be visiting there after dinner, and pretty much get whatever we may find that may be interesting.

Anyway, will most likely end here for now.  As I want to make it a habit so that I’ll start going back to write more regularly.  Since my Canon A70 is up and running, I will most likely bring it around and start publishing news that you will not see being published in the main stream media.  Hahaha. So much for being a reporter, and most likely will try to find some videos that I used to make back when I first got my camera.  Yes, lots of fond memories of it. I’ll update you guys tomorrow once again.  Have a good one.
