Politically Correct in a Crazy World

Before we mark the end of January(with still an outstanding Langkawi trip photos),I shall list down some of the resolution for 2009 that I've set:

1. Participate in at least 2 half or full marathon

Something I hope to achieve for in 2009.This resolution was set during November when I decided to go for something which I find it impossible.Currently the 3 marathon which I could think of is Sundown,AHM and Standard Chartered.I'll have to find out more from marathon runner like Gary.Keke...

2. Read 7 books this year

Why not 6?Why not 8?Initially I thought of reading 6 books,but my collegue challenge me to read 7,as 6 books is too slow(1 book per 2 months).Alright,7 books should be okay,it's a nice number anyway.

3. Learn Guitar and compose a song

Ongoing resolution for the past 2 years.

4. Getting myself 6-pac(or at least shape up)

This is getting nowhere.Since when Wei Liang becomes a fitness freak wanting a tone body?That's because when I put on my t-shirt I can see my belly bloating out which I find it rather unsightly that I had to buy myself a large t-shirt despite of my small size I should get a medium I should get a medium I should....

This will be the resolution I had so far.There may be more coming up,eventually something new will come into my mind for the next few months.

I realized that the first 2 days of Chinese New Year seems to be very short.In a blink of an eye it's the start of a new day of work.

It's rather boring at day 3 of New Year in the office.Almost everybody is still in their holiday mood.About 80% of my colleagues are not working today as they took leave for today.At least some peace and quiet,but too peaceful for goodness sake.

So what did I do for the first 2 days of New Year?Simple movie and visitation.

Day 1:

No visitation,not even bother to move out of the house to catch the eclipse.Instead I went to catch a movie "Love Matters" with Pamela,Clara and Ya Ling.I'm the rose among the thorns!Woohoo!!!


Filmed in Malaysia,this is about a married couple having some problems with their marriage life.It's those typical husband wants it but wife don't want but when wife wants husband cannot.Yeah,something like that.

I would say it's rather uncommon to watch something "crude" from Jack Neo such as making fun of the impotent-ness and some sexual related jokes.Overall,the movie seems to lack of a wonderful story line with meanings.

Overall,it's quite a funny show to watch and it's suitable for those who wanted to take something light during this New Year season.

Day 2:

Went to my colleague's house for a visit.It's rather rare for a colleague to open up her house for visitation.She cooked some dishes for us and I would say I like the friend wanton very much,not to mention the curry chicken and the wonderful desserts.

After this I rushed off to visit Pastor Bee Tin.When I reached her place,all the people had left.That means I got to finish up some of the food over there.


Walnut cake bought from Swiss Bakery.I simply looooooooved the dark chocolate chips inside the cake.It's known to contain no preservatives and low in sugar(based on my tongue when I taste this).


Some old school drinks bottles from Malaysia.It's quite rare to see this in Singapore nowadays.Maybe you'll get to see those from the drink stall outside esplanade.Go on,try your luck over there.

Day 3:

Gosh!I'm working on day 3!Hello reality.

Taking a break from the Langkawi post.

Happy New Year Eve to everyone.Think other than Christmas,Chinese New Year is another busy day for each one of us.If you're not busy dong spring cleaning or buying New Year goodies and clothings,then you're actually not celebrating Chinese New Year.

Before day 1 of New Year coming,here are some points for me:

1. Enough of the Chinese 牛 year and claim that it's something new and creative.I've heard this 12 years ago.

2. Not going to enjoy the New Year show by the mediacorp.Most of them are doing lip syncing of New Year songs.

3. Dragon is the only animal Astrologist love and they're always the case of good fortune.

4. Will the 财神 go on with the song 财源滚滚来?

5. I may sound jaded,but every year the New Year spirit getting weaker.

6. I'm free on 初一,but busy on 初二.No relative visitation on the first day but will be busy planning out schedule on where to visit on the second day.

7. Let pray that after the New Year,the economic crisis will go for the better.

Last of all,wish all of you a Happy New Year of the Ox.

Here we are on day 2.5 of Langkawi,with Kelvin Lee already in his sleep mode on.With Kelvin sounding asleep,what I'm most worried was whether if the hotel stuff contacted the agency.




In fact,we did.Praise the Lord!But Ming Keat wasn't happy that we are put in a room that was not supposed to be ours,with a RM$30 refund.Which means,we are staying in a lower quality room.Oh well...

After taking a short rest,we proceed to another nicer beach.It's slightly further to where we stayed with so called "better view" of the sunset.

The sand is very dry,that makes it easy to clean of when it sticks to your body,except your hair.I find it very hard to remove all the sand particles on my hair.I need help on that.

At night,we went to Wonderland seafood restaurant which Jenny recommended.With the help from the local,this place should be very good.

We had the friendly uncle to serve us.He even showed us his humongous prawn he had in his store.


As the prawn over here cost RM$8 per 100g and 3 of them weight about 1kg,we decided to get the smaller ones instead.

First off,we had fried fish with special(ABC)sauce.This fish was cut one side and the other side goes to the...







The slightly smaller version of the monster prawn.Check out the comparison between the prawn and the knife.


Fried calamari.This is one of my favorite dish.I think they put some kind of special powder to marinate them,that's why it's so addictive.

We were munching all the way,leaving us no time to even talk to one another.Different kinds of dishes were served in a short period of time until at the point of time when the next dish came,our table is filled with plates with food unfinished.

Overall,the food is fresh and the service is up to standard.For your information,this restaurant serves halal food.The total cost is RM$178(一起发!),which is worth the money for 5 of us.











I love eating chocolate brownie and I hope my other half knows how to make chocolate brownie.*hint hint*



Overall,I loved the warm looking environment and definately will go back there again if I were to go back next time.

Day 2 in Langkawi

We actually slept very early yesterday(about 8pm)because of our tiredness,so we ended up waking up around 6 am,which is just early enough to catch the sun rise.

We tried to find the way to a good spot for sun rise,but we can't seems to see the road very clearly.In the end,we didn't get to catch it and had to go for breakfast instead.

We ended up in an Malay/Indian coffee house near the town area for breakfast.They sell decent chepati,chicken,beef,mutton and sotong curry.

The curry sauce is very spicy and the chepati is very healthy stuff.Other than that,the chicken is hard to break and nobody touched the sotong.


We took a walk at the Jetty Oint trying to find the eagle William mentioned about.We finally found it after a few drive-around.








After a nice breathe of air breeze,we proceed on to look for nice beaches in Langkawi.We went to Tanjong Rhu Beach which was known to be one of the nicest beach in Langkawi.It took us around 20 minutes just to get there.


There is a hotel located near the beach which cost us RM$1500 per night.I don't think we have the money to do this.

Notice the floating sand at the left-hand-side?It only appears during low tide and yes,that area is walkable.In order to reach there,you have to take a swim.








We kinda lost our way and ended up in Seven Well waterfall.Since we're already ended up here,we decided to check out the waterfall.





There's part 2 of this waterfall,which is walking up to the top where the waterfall really started.But you have to...






Next journey,back to the hotel.
