Christmas Eve

 

Siaran.Net

We are now on Siaran.Net

I went and submitted my podcast to Siaran.Net which is a Malaysian Podcast Directory & Community.  Guess Christmas indeed came early for me this year. Lol.  And also for Android & Blackberry users, you can now stream us live via Mediafly – A Walk of Faith Podcast.  You can download their software here http://www.mediafly.mobi.  Maybe doing podcasting hopefully twice a week now will not be so bad.  Considering the amount of hits we’re getting from all of you.  Really thank you for your continuous support.  Couldn’t have done it without all of you listening out there.  Now looking forward to 2011, hopefully the Holankia Talkshow will entertain you with many segments.  And hopefully by then my other co-host such as Kevin, Ru, & Larry will have more time to do it.  But from then till now, you can be sure that “The Good Morning Kuching Show” will continue to entertain you for the upcoming weeks.

 

Esther fascinated with her shadow

This year really have been a really quick year, and it’s already Christmas eve.  Not long after that it will be New year followed by Chinese New Year.  I wanted to do a lot of things this year, but ended up putting it up back on the shelf.  So hopefully next year, I will be able to achieve most of my goals which I’ve set years ago.  And as how Dennis puts it to be more “aggressive” lol.  But it has been a good year I suppose for me, despite the ups and downs I’m getting.  I guess that’s life, and maybe I was put there and then for a reason.

 

Evening at Kuching waterfront

But I’m really grateful for all the friends that I’ve met all these years.  No doubt we don’t really keep in touch already, but you guys are great.  And I would like to congratulate my best friend Bong who will be getting married next year, and I am honored to be able to attend your wedding.  We’ve been through thick and thin, and I’m very happy for you that you’re finally joining the club. Lol.

 

Deluxe & Esther @ Jubilee Ground

I guess one of the greatest surprise that I gave Deluxe was just yesterday.  Whereby I went and bought her something really nice.  And pretty much took me few days to prepare.  The next time if I plan to do something like this again most likely I need to write down the things I want to get.  Because most of the time I always ended up forgetting what to get, so it’s cool.  Anyway, being able to get her something which was unexpected and to see that I was able to make her happy one way or another is the greatest achievement in probably being a good husband and father.  But all women are the same, I guess they don’t want material stuff but rather as long their men will continue to stay faithful to them is good enough.  But it’s ok to spoil one’s wife once in a while, to pretty much keep the romance going :P

 

Esthers' Masterpiece

I would like to thank you for taking time off to come back to this site to pretty much read up what I have been up to.   All post in here I hope is to pretty much entertain you, and hopefully take stress out from you guys.  And also to my new partner in crime Dennis, thank you for always being there to kacau me everyday when no one else is doing. Hahaha.  Really appreciate your time on Facebook. Hahaha.  So let’s continue to rock Kuching even harder next year aight!

And on behalf of Deluxe, Esther and myself.  I would like to wish all of you Merry Christmas and a happy new year.  You all have a good weekend!

Kao Tim

Ok, I know I haven’t been updating for the past few days. Which is a first after so many weeks. Hahaha. Well nobody is perfect. Anyway, things will return to normal starting today. As for the past few days been really hectic for me. Especially with preparation for Christmas and also other mini projects that I went and did. So currently having a break, and not to mention didn’t do a podcast as promised. Hahaha. Sorry about that.

Actually was thinking of doing one podcast yesterday, but Deluxe visa will be expired this coming Christmas. So yesterday, actually went around on a wild goose chase just for a piece a of paper. And I was only able to get it at Immigration office. Now there’s a new ruling whereby I need to pay a security bond for her, which will only be refunded once Deluxe manage to get her PR status.

So that pretty much took up a lot of my time in doing it. Plus just now I received another call asking me for help. I couldn’t turn the person down so ended up need to get a few things done latest by tomorrow. Hopefully, everything will go smoothly. Sorry I can’t update much on this post. Hopefully after Christmas, there will be more things to post. So stay tune for tomorrow podcast as I will be talking more on Finance 101 the Holan way. Hehehe.

P.S Yo Richard, hang in there. Chinese New Year will be coming soon. Let’s catch up by then ok :)

Taking Time Off

I believe I can fly

So it’s back to Monday again, and yesterday we didn’t go out as usual as I had to do some delivery as well as we were pretty much exhausted as well from the whole day.  So instead I did some banking stuff as well yesterday, because it’s also one of the few moments where I can actually go settle bills without worrying having to look for parking place.  So normally every month is like that, when you need to pay bills and etc.

Esther & DUN

Anyway, Deluxe has been bringing Esther for evening walks most of the time.  And of course she now bring along the Ixy 30s with her to pretty much take pictures of Esther.  Not only it is currently being put to full use, but Deluxe now has already gotten use to how it functions.  And the pictures taken are really good, and of course just had to touch up a bit with photo editing software.  Hence the image seems better, compared to the previous batch where I just help her upload to her album.  But never the less, she’s still trying to find a good settings for taking pictures in low light areas.  Because the automatic features some how does not perform as well under manual settings.  So it’s all good, as she has a long time to play around with it.

Harbour View & Star Cineplex

As Christmas draws near, there will be tons of activities going to happen in church so I”ll also be busy as well.  But I guess it’s all good, since `tis the season to be jolly :D   And as for the podcasting as well as video log, hopefully I will be able to do something about it for the next few weeks whereby I’m currently preparing some materials and may change a different format in doing it.

Does this gives you a HDR impression?

I guess I’ll just stop here for now, as I need to get back to work.  Hehehe.  So that’s all for today and do check out my podcast and let me know what you think.  And also I’m currently trying to think how to sync it up with itunes as well.  So see you guys tomorrow and you all have a good day.

Happy Birthday Venice

Got caught up with something, ended unable to do a long post. Procrastinating is such a pain. Is currently keeping my fingers crossed, and hopefully will have something to review in the next few days :)

Would like to wish Venice who is turning 3 years old today. Happy birthday!

Love and wishes from,
Uncle Alex, Aunt Deluxe & Esther.

Whatsapp

Ok ever since I managed to install android onto my phone, I’ve been having a lot of fun as of late with it with apps that I had always dreamed of installing. Lol.  Last night, through Kik Messenger a friend of mine suggested that I install whatsapp.  The last time i reviewed whatsapp, I thought it was only available for Iphone and Blackberry phones only.  And to my surprise, they are now available for Android as well as Nokia  phones.

Whatsapp

And to my surprise, quite a number of my friends are using this as well.  And since most of them are iphone as well as blackberry users, they are pretty much online for the whole time.  So I can easily text or sending them videos as well as pictures in the future.  And all this are done through wifi, so it’s practically free.

Good thing about using Whatsapp, is that they register you by using your phone number.  So that’s how you are able to find out in your contact list they are using the apps or not.  But one thing I notice that there is an expiry date on it, which is 1 year after using it.  Not sure if you need to renew or it still be free, but for now it’s sort of like those BB Messenger, especially good for those who don’t have IMs account.

I was able to install this onto Deluxe’s Ipod touch as well, you can actually do it by installing installous on it.  But of course in order for this to work you got to have contacts on your ipod touch so you know if your friends are using it as well or not.  But as you know the Ipod touch drawback is that when it goes into sleep mode the wifi doesn’t stay online but rather disconnect.  But don’t fret, if you get back connected you will get offline messages so shouldn’t really be an issue.  There’s a software called Insomia, which keeps the wifi connected even in sleep mode.  Might try it out later and see how it goes.

It’s kinda sad actually a lot of developers are not building more apps for Windows Mobile.  So it’s kinda sad actually, as they are more into other OS now.  But I guess it’s all right, since I’m running Android. Hehehe.  Might consider getting an android phone real soon if all goes well :)
