Holankia's World

So here I am. Back again trying to revive something that has been dead for over a year. And hopefully this time will be a weekly kinda thing. Instead of twice a week, which pretty much killed the show due to lack of inspiration. Anyway, here's a few things that I mentioned on the podcast.

We had a good session with Kieng Tung. Just that I accidentally deleted the 2nd part of the interview while editing the track this morning. Anyway, really wished that it was the 1st part that got deleted. Haha. Oh well, it's all good. We did this interview over skype once again, but the only difference is that I called Kieng Tung on Skype instead. Do check it out, and our next topic will be on the difference between guys and girls thinking. Enjoy :)Download here

It's official, as we've decided to call it the Lost Ark segment where it will be consisted by Ru, Kevin and myself. In this segment we talk about a few things such as my trip back to Jakarta. And we found out that a lot of people do bring their work back. Never the less, you can listen to our conversation here.Download here

[caption id="attachment_1423" align="aligncenter" width="363" caption="The Vertical Connection with Alex & Larry"][/caption]The Vertical Connection is running it's 2nd show.   Ok apparently this was a short talk as we talked about Larry beginning to start a new life in Ireland.  Pretty much an introduction with him there, and hopefully we would be able to get more details in the next segment, next week.  You guys enjoy.Host & Co-Host : Alex & LarryQuote for the day : As the Irish would say.

[caption id="attachment_1443" align="aligncenter" width="495" caption="Mohawk Madness with Alex & Kevin"][/caption]Since Ruey can't make it for the time being as she is busy till next month, I've decided to open up another segment of the Holankia Talkshow.  As you've pretty much guessed it, it's called Mohawk Madness.  Anyway, on to our show.  We had an interview with Alvin who is happens to be an interior designer.  Find out more on how this Megatronics Engineering graduate ended up as an Interior Designer.Host : Alex & KevinGuest : Alvin ShimQuote For The Day : "Don't end up like you, when you paid for the registration and you didn't get anything out of it." - KevinDownload HereIf you would like to wish to contact Alvin for his services you can contact him via e-mail at alvinshim14 [@] hotmail [.] comSamples of his works

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="432" caption="Holankia Talk Show"][/caption]Ok, tonight show is basically me going solo due to the fact that Kevin wasn't able to join me due to the fact that he was sick.  So I've decided to go ahead, even though I wasn't feeling too good as well.  So tonight's topic is deciding factor on which telco provider is cheaper for Iphone 4.  Earlier on when I did a rough calculation I thought the difference would only be 1-200.  But when I used Excel to calculate, it seems that Maxis will only be cheaper provided if you tend to make more phone calls.So in conclusion, I think it goes down on which type of users will you be at the end of the day.  If you tend to talk more(over 200 mins), I suggest you use Maxis.  But in terms of SMS and Data plan, Digi will be a better choice as the free SMS offered by Maxis is only applicable to Maxis users only.  And their data plan is charged at RM0.10/10kb and will be capped at RM250.  Anyway, you can download the excel file which I've created for your reference only.  And the calculation was based on calls, as I didn't do in terms of SMS or Data plan.  So you decide on which provider you would like to use.Anyway, in this show I managed to call Richard and check up on him to see how's he doing.  And at the end, I did a cover of Runaway Train by Soul Asylum.  Sit back and enjoy.Download hereHost : AlexGuest : Richard Ling - http://www.richardling.netReference Link :-Comparison Excel Rate - http://bit.ly/ddPTBxMaxis Plan - http://www.maxis.com.my/personal/iphone4/rates.aspDigi Plan - http://www.digi.com.my/iphone/getone_want_iphone.htmlMaxis rebate RM1K - http://www.malaysianwireless.com/2010/09/maxis-iphone-trade-in-rm1k/

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Is this 4 real?"][/caption]Seriously, someone might need to check Digi's marketing plan or someone who came up with this plan.  It's really freaking awesome, because it has a very low monthly commitment which is something I really love when I plan to subscribe to a plan.  For the RM58 monthly charges comes with 200 mins of talk time, 200 sms, 20 mms to all networks.  If you think about it, Digi has this 1 Malaysia spirit written in them.  They even show it on their plans itself, check out the free calls, SMS, & MMS to local networks.  Now how can you not love that.  Since many of my friends are in different network, I'm still able to call them using the 200 mins talk time.And the best part is that, you won't get any extra charges when you use their internet.  Even if you exceed your monthly quota they'll just lower down your bandwidth which I feel is fair.  I remembered an incident where a friend of mine who is on a different network was given free internet for a certain amount monthly.  At first he thought it would be sufficient, and there was one time he pretty much forgotten about his monthly quota and was shocked with his bills when it came.  He went and called their customer service line, and was told that he must have mistaken their plans for a different carrier.  But fortunately for him, it was capped at RM250 so he pretty much learned his lesson and decided to jump ship.If you would like to find out more about Digi's iPhone 4 plans you can check it out here.  They even have packages for those who use a lot of talk time.  It's really worth checking it out.  Anyway, I love Digi Iphone 4 plans so much that I even came up with a song for it.  So here it is.  Enjoy!Download HereEverything has gone up lately,I really don't know why,The only thing that's going down is,Digi Iphone 4 plans.If you subscribe to autobilling,Another RM5 down,This is just because it's Digi Iphone 4 Great Plans.I love Digi Iphone 4 plans,Because it saves me dough,I know I won't get extra charges, Cause Digi told me so.I love Digi I phone 4 plans,Because it loves me too,If you're a cheapskate just like me,Switch to the digi Iphone 4 plans too.Sending SMS is just a breeze,You can send it to all your friends.Because this is Digi Iphone 4 plans,You won't have to worry if they're not in the Digi clan.If you subscribe to autobilling,Another RM5 down,This is just because it's Digi Iphone 4 Great Plans.I love Digi Iphone 4 plans,Because it saves me dough,I know I won't get extra charges, Cause Digi told me so.I love Digi I phone 4 plans,Because it loves me too,If you're a cheapskate just like me,Switch to the Digi Iphone 4 plans too.

Apology to all of our listeners out there for the disappearance on our show, as we were all brain dead on what to talk about.  Anyway, tonight's topic we pretty much gave away from the title is about farting.  Ever wondered why and how we do it?  We have an unexpected guest who joined us at the very last minute, so we were fortunate to have him with us.  Sit back and enjoy the rest of the show.Host : Alex & KevinGuest : ElmundQuote for the day : We should fart proudly from today onwards.Reference :-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farthttp://www.heptune.com/farts.htmlDownload Here

We're back again, and sorry for the delay due to podomatic have been down, so was not able to update last week.  We pretty much talked about Kevin experience when he went for his HUET Training.  Listen on if you want to find out more about it.Host : Alex & KevinQuote For The Day : It's Every Man For ThemselvesDownload hereReference : -IFAP Website : - http://www.ifap.asn.au/

But never the less, life is good and fortunately for me I had the privilege of having both Larry and Luke on tonight show.Host : HolankiaGuest : Larry & Luke NyantiQuote for the day : "So they don't actually play a guessing game, by stab here and stab there" - Luke NyantiDownload Here

Chinese New Year is around the corner.  A week so to speak, and a week from now we would have pride ourselves with Chinese New Year Eve reunion dinner.  During this time, it will only be the time where all family members will gather together and asked how's life hanging.  And of course for those who are single out there, the number one questions relative would be asking especially when you hit the mature age is "When will you be getting married?"[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="400" caption="Cheers"][/caption]For me I suppose it was pretty much passed that stage when I brought Deluxe home the first time during Chinese New Year back in 2007, but fortunately for her she has been interviewed years back when most of the relatives were here in Kuching.  Funny thing, how relatives tends to ask you questions even your own parents don't.  I guess maybe that's what they are there for.  To ask questions that parents won't even dare to ask, so get the relatives and pretend to be on your side. LOL.  But never the less, it's all good.  Lol, but I think a lot of you may have similar experience maybe you might want to leave a comment and talk about it.Download today's podcast Click here if you can't play the podcastEmbed this podcast on your website Royalty Free Music Chinese StyleAstro Chinese New Year 2009 Song: Qing Zhu
