Started with one piece, now it has more than 10 comic art works done by Ariel sticking on my office wall. I encouraged him at first to stick one on the wall, so that he would not stop drawing. However, the motivation works pretty well. But, looks like I need another wall to put his [...]
If BlackBerry Bold 9700 could handles Twitter well, UberTwitter is buggy, once installed, no music could be played. Reading on the online forums, UberTwitter might have corrupted some of BlackBerry OS and configuration. Currently using OpenBeak, which was formerly TweetBerry, I think Lance Armstrong used this earlier before switching to UberTwitter. Not as snappy as [...]
A short week to start work for many after Chinese New Year. Received news about our sons’ Sunday Children Church teacher’s brother was involved in an hit-and-run accident on the first day of Chinese New Year, Feb 14. Pastor Sim, the preacher on the same Sunday, reminded the congregation to hold on to God when [...]
Clay Pot Chicken Rice (aka CPR) is an easy to prepare meal, if one decided to do it at home. However, the marination of the chicken could be a major turning point of whether the CPR would turn out well or otherwise. Retna and I have heard a lot about the CPR at Taman Kinrara [...]
Have waited for the long holiday, of which many have enjoyed and now is the time to get back to work, school etc. We planned on a home stay, but was affected when found out the place we stay does not have air-conditioner and the weather has been very hot, of which baby Inez might [...]
I will not comment on the emails, as RIM design BlackBerry for that main purpose. The trackpad is very easy to use, can navigate icons, browser, e-mails without much fuss. The high resolution screen works very well in both dark and very bright environment. I have no problem reading the screen even under the sun. [...]
Sometimes it can be tough to be focused, especially after one has gone through frustrating moment. I had experienced that yesterday and today. When heading home this afternoon, a neighbor’s shitzu ran out from the house and I almost ran over the sometimes not very smart shitzu (thanks to the braking system on the car). [...]
Samuel kicked off the night with a presentation called “Mac + Me”. He talked about how he started using the Mac for the first time, encountering some teething issues along the way. Negative myths were busted as he found the truth after using his Mac. Samuel listed out his favourite apps, his favourite browser being Chrome. [...]
Anita (our children’s cousin from Johor Bahru) brought three bags of book to be shared with the younger cousin through an auction style. She first showcased the books available to all the young ones, then she started to bring them out one by one. There were about six cousins presence during the ‘book auction’. If [...]
A nice picture taken by Retna while having the reunion dinner at Beng’s house. Using it to greet all friends, clients, partners, readers and followers of hisamueltan.com a blessed Chinese New Year and may the good Lord continues to bless all of you.
We have quite a lot of steamboat ingredient leftover last night and Retna has been thinking how to cook them differently today. However, the thought changed when both Grace and Mona called her for lunch before taking the children over to Ravi’s house for a swim. Ever since the iPhone days, Retna and I prefer [...]
I accidentally pressed the camera (quick access button at the side) while this picture was taken. I was then looked at it clearly, it seems very clear, crispy and vibrant in colors.
After much consideration, I try BlackBerry for the first time. The reason I did not go with BlackBerry earlier, was because of the iPhone’s features and user friendliness. Also, the telco charges on BlackBerry service. However, with DiGi, the service is available at a sort of reasonable rate. The models offered by DiGi at the [...]
Never a BlackBerry fan. However, after reading the review of BlackBerry Bold 2 or 9700, I am convinced of its capability to replace the faithful and well serving iPhone 3G. Probably got to start all over again to learn to use a non-touch screen phone. Things that I hope would work well would be the [...]
Amber Chia (need no introduction) was featured in an article for a well known property developer, and About Communication has been tasked on the editorial. On the day right after Christmas, I was given this assignment to interview Amber Chia for the magazine cover story. It was both the first time meeting her and interviewing [...]
However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the gospel of God’s grace. ~ Acts 20:24 I have been suggested of all sort of ideas from everywhere about how I should react to [...]
So fast, it has been a week since our last visit to Malaysian Parkinson Disease Association. I was organising pictures taken during the visit for archive, I saw this picture where a patient was eagerly to experience the dance but was limited to nerve freezing and movement. However with the presence of large crowd, he overcame [...]
When Azul, one of the founding members of Malaysia Mac User Group, or better known as MyMUG, first contacted me about being one of the speaker for upcoming MyMUG MacFest, meeting for Mac users once every two months, I was surprised and honored, simply I am still a rather ‘green’ Mac user. However, I accepted [...]
I just remember that I recorded with Voice Memo about few weeks ago a song that both Elijah and Ariel choose to sing during the Home Fellowship, of which they were the worship leaders, Give Thanks. Sometimes I am not sure whether they could sing or not, but after listening to this clip, they could. [...]
