Safe in Penang

by | Dec 29, 2004 | Podcast | 9 comments

Thank you everyone who wrote and called to ask about my well being and my loved ones’.

I am doing fine here in Penang. I am not too much affected by the tsunami. But did see some of the destructions personally. It was very bad.

I haven’t been able to get Wifi for the last few days. I have applied for my parents a new DSL line. That’s still in the process (just like Adam Curry), I’m going through major broadband withdrawal. I’m here, (just like Adam Curry, again) in a Starbucks, sucking down all the broadband juice. Hurray! It’s only RM19 for a 30-day access prepaid card. Not bad at all. The only problem is, I have to go to various coffee houses to hunt for the Hotspots. But that’s better than dial up.

I will try to post some audio clips once I find the time to do so, and once I have broadband at home.

Also, thanks for those who wrote to my Gmail account. I can officially say that I have some fans now. People from all over, Melbourne, Netherlands, Malaysia, and so forth. I’ll comment about that later.

In the mean time, thanks to all those who are thinking about me. I’m safe, and am enjoying my friends and family.

(In fact, I’m typing this post in the company of one of my nephews, Marcus, at a Starbucks in the Prangin Mall)

    Thanks Lisa.
    I am hoping to get my broadband very soon. I have a few things to post, but was unable because I only have dial-up.
    I’m visiting Starbucks very often to look for Hotspots whenever I can.
    Will keep you posted, and will stay safe.
