Here are the list of people who have generously donated to me. No amount too big or too small, as every ringgit counts to help kids fight cancer. Go Botak! Because of the tremendous support, I will now be accepting Paypal as a source to receive donations. Please check out Method 4 for more details.

Dear all,

  This is to inform that I will be participating in the Go Bald - Help Kids Fight Cancer Campaign this year.  It may seem a bit shocking to those who pretty much knows me, as I'm a very vain person especially when it comes to my hair.  I was inspired by a few people, in the last 2 years to go bald.  So to make long story short, this year will be the year I will go botak.

Congratulations To Ben Ha On Your Wedding on 02.12.2012

Congratulations brother.. All the best to you and your wife. Welcome to the club!

Kolo Mee in 30 seconds

Ok here's a video that I did, trying to finish a bowl of Kolo Mee in 30 seconds.  Larry was the timekeeper, Luke was the cameraman, while Dennis was there to have his Dinner.  Anyway, this is a very dangerous stunt, one must not try what is currently being shown in the video as it takes years of practice.  Without further adieu, click here to find out if I can do it or not!

Pontianak Trip

Ok. Last Saturday, I went for a short trip to Pontianak. And of course, my flight was delayed for 2 hours. You can find out more here Holankia Holan Maswings. Was suppose to publish this yesterday, but due to uploading the video was way too long I ended up posting this post today. Anyway, I'm still working on the sound quality as the initial part of the video I was using the Samson CO1U condenser mic, then followed by the Sony PX312. Hopefully it will get better in the near future. So without any further adieu, you can check out my video here.

The hotel that I stayed was at Aston Pontianak, which was fully packed because of some function they had. But it was a really nice hotel.

Goodbye 2011

So today is the last day of 2011, and boy does time just fly by so quickly.  Unlike previous years somehow I felt that 2010 & 2011 really zip me by quickly.  Maybe I'm more occupied with stuff, either that I'm trying to chase after time.  Whatever the reason may be, I will be looking forward to 2012.  And who knows things will turn out much better compared to the previous years.

Not to say that 2011 was bad, but indeed this year I had a lot of opportunity that was sort of laid in front of me.  But due to bad time management, I had to drop out on a few.  But never the less, God is good and all I need to do is to put my faith in Him more.

This year, I did a fair bit of traveling.  Apart from the usual Miri for Chinese New Year and Jakarta during puasa time.  Both places are indeed a great getaway from the normal routine of my life from opening the shop and closing it.  So sometimes, having a break once in a while is good.  Never the less, I've also went back to Miri to vote which some thought I was crazy as it was only a day trip.  I remembered driving myself to the airport and parked it there for a good 17 hours, and just paid only RM17 for the parking ticket.  It was more cheaper compared to hiring a taxi.  Spent a few days in KL, while visiting my aunt and brother.  And actually went for a road trip to Miri via bus, plus to Sibu as well while following my father in law.  Never the less, it was a great experience for me as the long journey sort of was fun actually.

  Anyway, next year resolution for me is probably just one.  Is to try and finish up my last year resolution, and also make sure I handle my time efficiently.  I've also started a new project, which hopefully I will see fruits within the next 2-3 months and maybe will post it here as well.  Should everything runs smoothly.

  But all this would not have happened if Deluxe wasn't there to support me all the way.  Being the ever so loving wife, she had sort of put my head straight and sometimes had to pull me back to be on track on what I need to do.  If it wasn't for her, probably I would have given up a long time ago.  I guess she's not only my wife, but my best friend whom someone I can't live without. It's really good to know that I have someone whom I can talk to all the time, despite having a good or bad day.  Thank you for being there for me whenever I needed you. I love you dear.

And to my beautiful daughter who is growing up ever so quickly.  How I wish I could have spend more time with you.  As for the past few months, when I had a dateline to meet I had to work till late at night.  And pretty much got up way too early to begin working.  This year, I will make it a point to spend more time with you as I know that you only want to be close with me.  And I will need to remind myself that I wouldn't be that missing gap in your life.  So that is another resolution that I plan to do for 2012.

  Anyway, that's pretty much about it for now.  Was supposed to published it on the 31.12.11, but apparently because I was too occupied with something else had to be postponed till today.  Never the less, would like to wish everyone a Blessed New Year and hope you all have a good one!

Excuse the low voice as I was still having the flu :P

HolanTV #03 - Nothing Much...

HolanTV #02 - Canon Ixy 30s, Ixus 300 HS Review

OK, I'll be showing a video first for this. Having problems uploading photos. Could be due to the line or something. I'll update this page again before I do another post tomorrow.

Ok after trying it out, I noticed the auto night shot wasn't as good as I thought it would turn out to be.  Either that, it could be the settings that I used as mostly were set in auto mode.  But all the pictures taken was hand held, so I'm not complaining.  Anyway I still think it's a good camera, and it helps a lot especially in indoor shootings.  So if you want to get a compact camera, this would be just nice.  And it does the jobs well.

HolanTV #01 – Introduction to Holan TV

This is my very first Vlog, which I've been thinking of doing for a very long time.  Since I didn't have a co-host for my podcasting series, I thought of doing a Vlog instead.  Anyway, thought it was weird looking myself into the camera and talking.  Anyway, it's all good but I think I might need to find other software to edit the video as Windows Movie Maker wasn't really helpful especially with some of the effects that I wanted to do.  So I'll just upload it raw.

In this episode, I pretty much just did nothing much but rather a few stupid I suppose. Oh well, I guess it's all good.  So sit back and enjoy the show. Hehehe.
