Today Martha Stewat is out of the prison. There are people out there cheering for her. There are people out there STILL making jokes about how cynical it was that she’s off her jail cell and went straight to her personal jet. People! Can’t you tell you’re jealous! Stop hating people for what you can’t be. Or just lay it off.
As for me, I’m glad she’s out. I don’t know her personally, but I do enjoy her professionalism in everything she does. And I like her products. From her three magazines I subscribed to her towels and kitchen utensils. Welcome back Martha!

She looked FABulous stepping out from her SUV to her jet. (Yes, I stayed up to catch a glimpse of her.)

We should also bake something or make something crafty, in honor of Martha’s creativity.

February 23, 2005 marked the last day of the Chinese New Year celebration. My cousin, Catherine (Ah Mei) reminded me of that. I then invited her to join me in my podcast.

For those who heard the Valentine’s Day Podcast, I had a flashback talking about the “hash” sign.
I couldn’t figure out what the bank was that has the four horizontal line with a vertical line over the four vertical lines. Well, I came across the logo tonight when I was reading The Star, and saw the logo. Here it is.



United Overseas Bank

Happy Valentine’s day to everyone, especially my dear listeners, friends, and family. Of course, my very own Valentine, Bruce.

Hello everyone. I would like to announce my new number for my comment line.
It’s much easier to remember:

(206) 888 JOHN

I am not expecting those out of the United States to call to this number. But those of you who are in the US, and have any comment you want to leave me without having to do your own recording, just simply call the above number, and the message will be sent ot me.

You can call anytime of the day, the line is open 24/7.

Thanks for your support.

Gong Xi Fa Cai!

Even thought we don’t get to be physically together for our Chinese New Year reunion dinner, we sort of made it happen by the wonder of technology. We used Skype’s Conference Call feature to connect from my home to my brother’s (in the same town), my sister’s family (in Penang), and my parents’ (in Penang – different house).

We got carried away in our conference call chat that the show is way longer than my 30 min. format. Therefore the file is about 35MB. If you want a smaller file, I can repost, or send you a special link with another file that has a lower quality. Email me if you’re interested. I’ll send you the link.

Hello all. As of today, my little Chinese New Year greetings and my podcast promo was played on Adam Curry’s Daily Source Code for February 6th 2005. I don’t expect a great increase in traffic, but that’s not my main aim. I just want those who’d understand the Malaysian style of language rojak (mixture of languages), to get a chance to hear that on a podcast. Some of my current listeners found that to be very warm and cozy, especially if they’re Malaysian who are now living abroad.

I’m planning to record a special Chinese New Year podcast this evening. I’m hoping to get my parents, my sister, and my brother on the show for a special hi-tech version of reunion.

Please check back on Feb. 9th for the show. Or better yet, get yourself an iPodder Software for your computer platform, and subscribe to my XML feed. You can find my XML feed on the top right corner of my blog. Or type in this:

To all my current subscribers and listerners: Thanks for your continuous support and encouragement.

To you who are here for the first time: Welcome to my blog and podcast. Hope you’ll enjoy it.

Emails and audio comments are always welcome. You’ll find the links on the right side of my blog.

Happy Chinese New Year!
