So… 10 years ago after getting hitched, i went to Langkawi for honeymoon. This was the days before AirAsia, and since we were flat broke Langkawi was probably the only option for us (Port Dickson wasn’t even considered) So fast forward EXACTLY 10 years ahead… I’m back there with the wife. And two kids in tow. (yep, the customary shot at the massive eagle. Makes you wonder about the size of the bird’s droppings…) Before going I wasn’t really keen on going back to the island, thinking there isn’t really much to do in the island. But it turned out much much better than expected. Langkawi has changed a lot…

My 2nd kid turned 6th yesterday! Even though it was a busy busy month for all of us, we managed to have a small celebrated for her classmates in school and at home. She was cheerful and happy throughout the day (or so I was told) and was telling everyone that ‘today’s my birthday!’ This was the cake my wife baked for her classmates. And a kindy class photo… probably the last one before graduation soon… Kids aren’t fussy eaters. They’ll lap up anything with cream on it. Party packs for all the kids. Some of it was courtesy of my mom. Dinner with the family at night And for…

Last Friday WY and I celebrated out tenth wedding anniversary. 10 years in the old church, we got married by Reynold, amidst friends and family. This was my present to her. It isn’t something to last another 10 years, but it was something she really needed. Its a Sony Ericsson C510, nice or not? She got me this large (about 1m x 1m) display of Simpsons characters with poses from the Simpsons Movie. Cool eh? For our anniversary, we wanted to celebrate it on the day itself, which was a Friday. Because of the traffic problem, we couldnt really go anywhere far, so we settled on somewhere familiar – Tony…

During the 2 month or so I spent researching before buying setting up my saltwater aquarium, I spent lots of time reading the forums and visiting the local fish shops (LFS). For easy reference of other beginners, here’s a list of shops that sell marine / saltwater fish and equipment in the PJ/SJ/Puchong area that I have personally visited. First of all, you may know of a aquarium / LFS near your house, but the thing to note is that NOT ALL aquariums sell saltwater/marine fish, they usually ONLY sell freshwater fish. Actually very few of these shops actually sell saltwater fish because of the expertise required. The second thing…

Finally finished the second season of HBO’s True Blood. Short review? Quite disappointing. Above: Sookie and Jason Stackhouse are back. And so is that vampire without a sense of humour. Reading the reviews online, most people are saying its bigger, better, sexier (and obviously more violent) than Season 1. I didn’t think so. I was a little disappointed with the direction of Season 2 after the first few episodes, and by the end of the season, my mind hadn’t changed. Bigger, yes. More violence, definitely. Sexier? I didn’t think so. As Seinfeld says, there’s good naked, and then there’s bad naked. Most of it is the latter here. Unlike in…
