Home in KC

Tuesday, February 27th, 2007

Took a long nap.

Landed in KC

Tuesday, February 27th, 2007

Flight landed in Kansas City. Everything was smooth. The wait wasn’t bad with wifi. I had to pay tho. But it helped. Next post should be from home.

3 down. 2 to go.

I’m in LA now. Immigration and custom were easy. But had to wait nonetheless. Got my bags, rechecked them in. Freshened up. Ate. Listening to podcasts, again. I had stopped listening to any podcast in Malaysia because I just didn’t have the time. I’m feeling closer and closer to home. I love Penang dearly, love Malaysia immensely, but right now, USA is home number 1.

Three flights done. Penang to Kuala Lumpur. Kuala Lumpur to Taipei. Taipei to Los Angeles.

Two more to go. Los Angeles to Dallas. Dallas to Kansas City.

I’m a bit tired. Rightfully so, I think.

Curi Power

“Curi” means steal. I found a spot where I can get online AND will be able to get power for my computer to kill 3 hours.

Talking Podcast in Malaysia

Doing my part in Malaysia

Wednesday, February 21st, 2007

Besides having a lot of fun at the Golden Pig Reunion dinner with my Penang Hokkien Podcast listeners, I also talked about podcasting in general at CG Computers. CG is kind enough to let me use their training facilities to evangalize podcasting.

Today, The Star printed the story. Peggy, the lady boss from CG told me about it first thing in the morning. My plump face is on the first page. I’ll take a picture of the paper later and share it with you. The first thing I checked when I got the newspaper was to see if I am plump. Yes to both pictures. But hey, it’s about podcasting, not fatcasting.
