Well this is the famous Dataran Lang at Pulau Langkawi. Yeah i went to langkawi the last school holidays. Took the coach or bus from Ipoh to Kuala Perlis since i did not fancy driving all the way.. Yeah MARA LINER is a good bus but can be improved. Well upon reaching the jetty got the tickets which are sold one way only. Make sure you keep the tickets if you are buying some hard liquor. This is because it will be inspected when you come back.
The journey to the island is nice and not so choppy. Upon reaching the jetty on the other side go to the taxi outlet. Well if you want a good cab driver call Mrs Suganthi or Sheila at  017-5167271. She is good and reliable and make sure you know your rate beforehand.Well i booked at Langkawi Seaview
/http://www.langkawiseaviewhotel.com/ppc/ Well it worked for me since i have been there for courses and like the friendly atmosphere there.

Well if you want to go there make sure u visit these places for sure :

Underwater World.. yeah located at Pantai Cenang it is a 30 minit drive from the Kuah Town but it was worth the drive. Love the various fishes found there.
Island Hopping is something that one should also not miss when visiting Pulau Langkawi. It is really amazing experience and worth it.

If you like indian food well the best place to eat would be Hotel Malaysia Restaurant it is opposite Langkawi Parade . Best indian food and really nice. Highly recommended by me :)

If you into massage then u need to head on to Sky Eagle Massage which I took since i was tired from walking and also need to pamper myself as well. Well the hp number is 012-5264174 or 04-9665955. Well it is worth the money paid and next to the best thing that is having the real thing in Thailand.

Well my stay was worth it since i visited the pasar malam oppostite Bayview Hotel. My ride was a mazda 323 which i had a good money for it and did not have any problems with it.

My advice for those who are going there,, book your hotel in advance.. get a gps when in langkawi so that u do not need a guide and u can travel at your own pace and pleasure as well.

My suggestion is that the government upgrade the Kuala Perlis jetty fast as it is one of the many jetties used to enter into beautiful Langkawi.

The List

Gopal had never believed in chances. He was always brought up to think that only by working hard was he able to reach success. Gopal did not get lucky at times with some small consolation from the welfare tickets that he bought.
Gopal worked as an educator and love doing what was assigned to. Well although the pay was not as much as his friends at the private sector, yet he was satisfies and had a sense of fulfillment.
Gopal worked in a small school and it was important to him to maintain a good relationship with everyone at school.
"Why don't you play some shares ?" Zainal told him. "You could make some money from it? " This thought had been with Gopal the whole day and he told himself that he had nothing to lose. He took Zainal's advice . Gopal went to the broker's firm near his school. He got a everything sorted out and opened an account. Well things looked very nice for him from the distance.
Gopal read and subscribed to the major finance newspaper. He took his time to analysis the company with learning from its board of directors as well as learn more of the share performance before parting ways with his hard earn money into the shares. Well he studied well for a couple of weeks before he came up with a list. This list was a very good list because he has done his homework well and knew that is was worth something if one would get the major companies. Well in the local stock exchange, there are about 200 over counters and some are just there waiting to fall while other are changing over the time. Well Gopal knew that he had something on that list of his.
The list consisted of several major blue chip companies and it was made with such effort and trouble and consume lots of time.

Gopal made the mistake which was considered a  major if you are a player. He trusted someone. He contacted with his broker and told him the list. He gave him the list!.
Zainal was a man of many dreams. He wanted to work his way up to be a successful and rich. He did not really have a bright head but was considered as an "ass-kisser" among his workmates. When Zainal got the list, it was like he had struck the jackpot. He knew what he needed to do. It was like a blessing in disguise. Zainal was known to be a gossiper in the office. If you wanted to spread a rumour, Zainal was the man for the job. Well all Zainal had to do was make a few calls to his good loyal clients and the prices of the shares on the "list" would start to change dramatically.

Well that is what is considered at inside trading which is damaging our local share market with lots of investors taking there money and going to other countries and investing there. Well staying in Malaysia but you have all your investment in Hong Kong and Singapore is a worrying trend.

I am not an expert in economics and not a player but i just like to learn and ponder of things. 

Happy mother's day

happy mother's day

dedicated to all the mothers around the world ... happy MOTHER'S DAY !

with love,

Newspaper

Total rubbish that is what my father has been shouting for the past few weeks regarding the new in the daily papers.. Well for a person who has been a avid follower of the Star paper for the past 40 years or so, he has a right to say that. The news in the news now is so depressing and negative that it has some effect on us as well. Well he has a point to a certain extent since the news has been on the declining side for the past year year. Now it is not only has stale news but also lots and i mean lots of advertisement.

I would like to share my point of view regarding new. For me a newspaper is meant to deliver the latest news and the latest development on certain stories. Well that is what I think, news should be news not advertisement.
If you really want to add advertisement then have a separate for that and specially for that. Why should news and advertisement should be placed together. Well the fact that advertisement is a multimillion industry which contribute to the sales of the news with its generous sale page.

Well I would like to suggest that we have :

1) More Inspiration Section

2) News without advertisement

3) More contest

4) More letter from the editor so that more people can share their experiences.

5) Encourage more education related activities to cultivate more writing among the younger generations.

Well just my view and thoughts .. 

As we celebrate time with our loved ones and know that life or let me say the year is coming to an end.. let us recall and cherish each moment time that we have spend. Well life as in this video clips goes is that comes once and you may never turn back the clock to what was yesterday. So enjoy life to the fullest more so when some predicted that 2012 is going to be the end of the world..

Well so much for that, but then anything can happen with lots of economic are in dire stressed up and inflation is sky high and lots of people are out of a job yet sometimes we need to wonder and ponder that things will happen for a reason and only known to the Big man up there if it is good or bad.

Some of you might have had a bad year while others might have had a good year and others might have had a average year but what is important is the fact that you are thankful for all that you have experience and gained and lost and achieved ..

So, the nest big question would be.. what is your new year resolution ? Well i for one really do not subscribe to this sort of resolution unless i am a chain smoker and would like to stop after being told off by my doctor which is nothing like that in my case. I am just not into resolution..However I would like to meet new people and gain lots of experiences and of course travel..
This year did not do much traveling as my other half is not into that sort of things.. Hoping to change that when the time comes around..again ...

On a personal note.. this year i gain lots of experiences in learning about people and how people react to situation and also how they address a certain situation in which are "forcefully" placed. I should say this that people are a unique species. They prefer to flock together and love to be together. Sometime I would laugh in silent just watching their reaction while other times I would comment where necessary.

Life is always changing and you will always change with it. You will change and what experiences you have will change you to be a better person or will enrich your boring life.. God knows where and what you need and when you need it.. He is going to give you just what you need when you need it at the right time.. no sooner no later.. that is why they say that God works in mysterious ways and nobody can comprehend his work.. Imagine if someone could comprehend his work.. that would be like disaster in the making :)

Well people .. while we enjoy the small things that we are grateful for, let is not forget the less fortunate and the lonely people in this world.. if you cannot do anything for them in term of money or contribution you could at least sent out a silent prayer for the less fortunate and let the cosmos take it to them..


Leaving you with this thought, " Everyone you meet may it be  for a minute or a lifetime, came into your life to impart a lesson to enrich your life.. learn the lesson well  and never forget that lesson"


Have a wonderful new YEAR 2012 AND let is be a productive one for all !
