Rang Wo Qu Nuan - Wang Lee Hom feat Cass Pang

Dear, I won the bet...Don't forget my reward..LOL...(don't challenge me on Lee Hom's song again ya....)

Wet month...

Life is unpredictable. One day, you are all high in spirit and motivation, but the next day, it will all be down the drain. Last year, I got a big big Christmas gift but this year, I think Santa decides that I am way too old to receive anymore presents.
Sigh, we can do so much as plan, until the very minute details, and getting all excited and anxious to start working on the plan, but overnight, it can just turn into a piece of crap.
Well, that is life. What we can do now is to make full use of the time left...It will be challenging next year, but hopefully, there'll be sunshine after all the rain...What a wet wet November....

Recently, a stranger approached me for some advice on personal issues. I am a very good listener but if you ask for my advice, I might not be able to give you a good one as I am a rather emotional person, at least as of late, I am...But in terms of writing, I think I can be a pretty good 'Dear Thelma'.
When I write, I have time to digest and think with my mind and not my heart. It's weird exchanging feelings and experiences with someone I've not even met. So, if you are reading this, all the best, girl. It's a big world out there so go out and explore it. Allow yourself to be sad for a while, wipe that last tear and pick yourself up again.

Counting down to my HK trip!!! These few weeks have been bad and I just want to enjoy the last month of the year. Then, I will make a new plan, build the foundation again and work it up.

Wish me luck.

2012

End of the world in 2012?
Watched this movie last saturday. It's not bad...worth the money spent. Somehow, it's like a modern version of Noah's Ark. On how God punish all the people who have sinned by sending the Flood that drown most of the earth's population. Survivors are those who got on the big Ark together with a pair of each animals species.
I wanted to highlight one of the cast member-Nima.He has very minimal screen appearance but somehow, he left a big impression on me. I find his smile very heart warming and he's cute. Got to know his name is Ostric Chau after some googling. Never seen him in any movies before but hopefully will get to do so in the future.

Food review:Korean food

After having Korean meals twice in the time span of 1 month, I realise that I am not a big fan of Korean food.

First attempt was at Garden's,one of the stalls on the supermarket level. Food there is averagely priced so it won't burn a hole in your wallet. I guess the taste is quite ok. Here's what we ordered:

I like the Barli drink

Korean noodle-big prawns,tangy boodles,not spicy enough

Kimchi-the middle is anchovies and it tastes like sambal ikan bilis

Glass noodle (Japchae)-noodle is not too soft but tastes too salty

My fave-Korean pancake (Bindaeduk), crispy and taste

The lady boss here is a Korean chic and she is VERY PRETTY. Comparable to Korean actresses.

Second attempt to like Korean food was at Daorae, Sri Hartamas. The mere mentioned of Korean BBQ, I was eager to try. Furthermore, I guess we were quite famished at that time. Daorae has made name for itself, specialising in Korean BBQ. We ordered:

Panchan and kimchi dishes

Korean noodles-tastes good, spicy, sourish and salty enough

Slices of pork-wrap it  in lettuce and garlic and sauces-not bad at all

Seaweed soup for started

Fascinated with this

Recommend that you choose the marinated meat as the non-marinated meat is quite bland.
At the end of the meal, you'll be left with a hole in your pocket (actually it's not that bad unless you go for the better quality beef) and the smell of smoke in your hair/clothes. But nonetheless, it was a good experience.

Food review:Tim Pun/Tong Sui Kor Kor

Well, the name doesn't really sound too appealing but the desserts there are very good. We ordered:

1.Mango hor fun - mango wrapped in soft-soya like hor fun - just nice for dessert after a hearty meal.

2.Mango Lolo - not too sweet and full of coconut milk.

3.Durian pancake - one word : AWESOME.

4.Read bean+black sesame paste-good combination and again, not too sweet.

5.Tong yuen in 'fa sang wu'-fa sang wu is nice but the tong yuen...nothing to shout about.

6.Curry fishball - not worth trying.

Total damage:RM34++

Keef's Top Ten tips to visiting Langkawi

1. Only hire a car when you arrive at the airport/ferry as they offer cheaper rates there and it can be bargained. MAKE SURE that the car is in good condition and the air-cond is not blowing out hot air. Else, you'll be in a car oven and when it rains, you can barely see the road ahead.

2. Do not pump full tank petrol as you will not be able to use all for a 3 days/2nights trip.
3. Visit(or trespass into) Four Season's, take a rest(or a nap) and enjoy the serenity of the place.

4. Do lots of jumping shots at the beach and 'kicking water' too.

5. Visit the pasar malam on Saturday night in Kuah town for snacks after a sumptuous dinner at the corner chinese restaurant.

6. Trek up to Seven Wells (preferably in the morning), bring change of clothes and just jump into the crystal clear water on top of the waterfall. There is no better place to enjoy a natural water spa and enjoy the view.

7. Pay RM15 for a cable car ride to the top of Mt Chincang and enjoy the cool air. Walk down to the hanging bridge but DO NOT attempt jumping shots there. It's risky...

8. A visit to Langkawi is not complete without a visit to Dataan Lang. It's extremely hot in the afternoon so opt to go in the evening. Night time is a disappointment as the place is really dark without enough lights. It could have been a beautiful night spot if there are enough lights to lit u the Big Eagle.

9. Buy lots of liquour/chocs/snacks and have a drinking session in your hotel room or go down to beach and have a fun time there....(though it will be very dark).

10. Last but not least, remember to bring lots of sunblock, drink plenty of water and have a crazy time with your pals.

PS : This is my 5th visit to Langkawi. It is almost a must visit place for me annually.
