This is a politically correct Chinese New Year Greeting btw… It’s me trying to be PC
Credits and props to various Politically Correct humor sites. I adapted the Politically Correct Chinese New Year Greeting from various humor sites.
Afterall, Malaysians in Malaysia tend to be very politically correct. Calendars do not feature pigs, because the chinese do not want to offend the muslims. Har! (p/s: China is doing the same this year.. rather dumb though, to mute one’s own culture, for the sake of not offending others. Happy Holidays!)
you left out the lunar new year for other planets, u never know when angry martians will come and nuke you
KL - Let’s hope then, the martians do not read this… Oh no.. I subscribed to Blogsinspace!
My acceptance of this politically correct greeting is subject to the (obviously not politcally correct) sanity (or lack thereof) of this blog’s author.
Haha, it’s really cute
Amusing, to say the least.
PC rubbish!
LOL… glad you guys enjoyed this Politically Correct

You scared one-eyed gangsters come and sue you is it?
No… being politically correct is a sure sign of me being civilized.
Uncivilized Fool: You’re Fat
Civilized Person: You’re horizontally challenged, but that does not mean that you are physically incapable of contributing to society, which you happen to do a lot.
See? It’s much more civil to be politically correct.
well i insincerely (simply becoz of the pressure to conform to social programing) to wish you and your families and those of other readers

Andchewxy…i hope your gambling skills are up to par.
Hey man, think you can make it to the Filmmakers Anonymous 2 on 23rd of Feb? This Friday? 8:30pm?
Girl Disconnected (along with a few other short films) will be screened (in GD’s case, it’s the Msian premiere), hohoho.
Aoshi - I don’t gamble. Unless the odds are stacked in my favor.
Swifty - sure. Call me
[…] On my extreme roundness this year, there were few relatives whom I met who instantly commented: “Wow, Chewxy, you’re fat this year“. Some, on the other hand, are more subtle, come up with comments like: “You haven’t been exercising much have you?“. But perhaps the friendliest (or most PC) of all is: “Wah, Chewxy, looking very prosperous this year, eh?” Not that I mind… I need the exercise anyways. My target is nearly there… 2 weeks and 4 kilos gone. The bad habit of staying up late reading and snacking in the middle of the night, really gotta go. […]
