Miss list

Had a weird dream last night... Actually not really weird dream lah.. I dreamt of home last night.. hahaha... Tomorrow I'm going home lo~ lets make a list of the things I miss!

The Miss List

1. Mommy and Daddy
2. Family and friends
3. Pool!
4. Nasi Lemak
5. Laksa
6. Warm weather
7. Being able to walk buck naked with the window open
8. Wine drinking session
9. Nice coffee
10. Speaking mandarin
11. My bed
12. My fishies in office
13. My room
14. Lim kopi and talk cock sessions
15. Did I mention pool?

So here is the top 15 stuff I miss~ As for no. 7, I'm just joking lah!!! I usually walk around buck naked with the windows closed~ I'm very discreet one hor! Muahahaha... Working time... yawns~

Anybody want an ice cream~

Finally had a ice cream outdoors liao~ Hehehe... Imagine that, ice cream that will not melt! Actually the air was colder than the ice cream itself so the difficulty in eating the ice cream out doors is holding the ice cream.. Hands frigging cold loh~ Hahahaha

Season of romance

Hmmm.. From my observation, winter is definitely the season of romance. The streets are full of couples cuddling in the cold, hugging to keep warm and holding hands and laughing away. I don't really understand but there is this magic in the air that is only present during the winter season (or rainy season for the case of Singapore).

3 weeks from now will be Valentine's day and most probably will still be in the land of unlimited kimchi. It won't make any difference to me yet as I don't feel the rush to find someone. I just hope that the someone that comes along someday will be someone really special. And that she will find me special too~

wahahaha... getting mushy liao... goosepimples all over my arms~ hahaha

3 more day to tropical paradise

Hmmm... I would never have thought of Singapore as a tropical paradise. Tropical maybe, but never paradise. But now, after 2 months in the "winter wonderland" my opinion is changed... I'm looking forward to starting to sweat again, to be able to go out in bemudas again, be able to talk to other people without using comical sign language, etc etc.

I can't really say that life here is not good, just that I feel quite lonely here. No family and friends. I think that I have really grown quite a bit (dun think dirty) during my stay here. I have also seen quite a number of different kinds of character here. So yes, I think my stay here is very beneficial and experience that I have gained here is more valuable than the 4 years of education in NTU. At least what I'm doing now is practical work. ;P

My mood, however, is abit unstable from my stay here. I think its due to me going crazy with boredom and loneliness liao.. ;(

The Lover?

You are the Lovers card. The Lovers card is about
union. Each of us carries in our DNA the
ability to be the opposite of what we think we
are. Often our romantic attachments grow out of
awe and respect as we see in another the
characteristics we repress in ourselves.
Society often presses us into molds of what it
thinks masculinity and femininity should be. As
a result, many of us associate with our gender
certain positive characteristics and call
others negative, when if these same qualities
were held by a person of the opposite sex, our
attitude towards them would be reversed.
Getting in touch with our inner animus and
anima, (Jung's terms for our inner male and
female), allows us to see the whole of our
personalities in a positive and constructive
light. When you draw The Lovers card in a
reading, you are working with balancing these
forces. Depending on where the card is, you
have either achieved balance or need to. The
Lovers could indicate a romantic or even a
platonic relationship. Ask yourself is this is
a positive relationship that contributes to
your growth as a complete human being, or if it
fills an emotional craving within you that is
actually detrimental to your personal growth.

Which Tarot Card Are You?

Wah seh! How come make me sound so desperate lidat?? Got this link from Pris. Thanks Pris!

Back from Gyeong Ju

Hey, back from a long trek to Gyeong Ju yesterday. It was fun but very tiring as we made most of the journey on foot. Firstly, planning of the trip was done and I took this picture of the online map just to be sure~ ^^;

Then there was the long long journey ahead. From my motel in Gumi to the bus terminal to the Gyeong Ju terminal took around 2.5 hours. Once we hit Gyeong Ju terminal and stepped out, we were totally lost. Luckily we saw a river to the west, and quickly got our bearing right and started south to the Tumuli Park. 20 mins of walking later, we saw this sight.

Looks like hills right? They are actually tombs of Silla (新罗) kings. How come all kings like big tombs one huh? Anyway, due to the winter, the tombs are all yellowish so not that nice. Summer will be a better time to visit as they will be covered in lush green grass and the weather will be more pleasant.

Anyway, we carried on into the Tumuli Park and took a leisurely stroll... Nothing much there really, just very wide open spaces nia. Think they have lots of space there ah. Came across some weirded looking trees including this tree with the bad hair day.

Then we carried on walking and taking photos and walking for quite some time. Then we came to what could be the first Korean made fridge in the world here.

I look kind of weird and fugly with long hair hor? Anyway, this is a ice storage vault of the Silla empire. I guess the Silla king likes ice kachang or ice ching tng during the summer also. Wahahaha!

Anyway got alot more photos for the Gyeong Ju trip but I'm abit lazy to write more liao. Wahahaha.. Anybody who wana see more photos just leave a comment or send a message to me lah. Ciao

Weekend!!

Weekend is here again~ Hopefully it will be a more interesting weekend than the past few weekends where I nua in the room. Not to say it was totally boring but I guess I really got to go out abit before I return to Singapore ah.. People will say that I sua ku if i din go around while I'm here ah. Hahaha...

Tomorrow, I'm going GyeongJu, 庆州!! I plannned out a simple tour liao but think most probably will need to improvise more tomorrow. Will take more pictures when I'm there~ Woo hoo!!

I went shopping~ >_<

Just done my stocking up at E-Mart~ Check out my goodies~ ^_^

They are going to be my breakfast, lunch, dinner, supper and drinking sessions! FYI the 3 bottles of golden looking liquid on the left side are Pak Seh Jiu(百岁酒）, meaning I'm going to live til 300?? Whoa~

Work again... :(

Good morning... Woke up early again today, wanted to sleep more but can't help it. Are there some days that you really really wanted to call in sick just because you dun wana go to work? Or is it most of the days for you? ;P

I think I'm having that kind of evil thoughts today... heehehe... but then they are just thoughts lah, will still go to work today. Days like this makes me wonder why I need to work so hard. Other then my debts and occasional drinking session, my expense ain't that high mah... Maybe its time to repay my parents for raising so well all these year? Maybe its time for me to settle down and raise a family of my own? Or maybe I should just change my spending habits... heeee... Just maybe...

Off to work~

Quote of the day~

Tok Cockfusius says:" When the shit gets harder, it gets harder to shit".

Meaning: Not everything in life is smooth, take more fibre~ ;-P

Sickness of the home

Have you ever stayed home so long that you feel so sick of staying home any longer? Well, I do, cos there are times that I don't feel like going out but at the same time don't want to stay home also. So what should one do at times like these? I cannot answer them as I'm also still searching for the answer myself.

Somehow, I feel that this has something to do with being alone. Since young, I have been alone in my home most of the time as both my folks are working and my brothers are constantly out. But instead of getting used to the concept of being alone, I kind of resented to that thought. I have no problems staying alone but just that I do not really like it, that's all.

Now that I'm outstationed for a few months, more or less alone, my mind wanders back to the days I actually feel sick of being at home. Initially, the idea of being homesick just doesn't seem to connect with me. Now, I grudgingly have to admit I'm feeling a tinny winny bit of homesick. Nothing much, just fantasizing about the chay kwey tiao, laksa, roti prata, etc, thinking about the view that I'll see on my way home, the smell of my room, the taste of coffee(not the weak stuff they have here), my family, and the list goes on. As I have said lah, nothing much.

Distance makes the heart grows fonder. I guess this really makes some sense now. Should be able to better appreciate the stuff that I have taken for granted back at home last time. Think I should stop now before I start crying for mommy ah. muahahaha...

I'm going to take a bath now, cos I heard about a (good looking) brave guy to took a shower last night even though its damn cold. He is really a hero man~ Wahahahaha

News Flash: Brave man bathes despite freezing bathroom

Gumi, S.Korea - Last night, at 2330 hours, a young Singaporean braves the freezing bathroom in order to maintain personal hygiene. The bathroom temperature, measured at a whopping 6 degrees last night, was too cold for any normal guy to shower. The hero, who refused to be named, made the following comments, " Itttt wwaaasss ffffreeezzzing ccoolllddd bbbuttt IIII haaaddd tttooo dooo iiittt cooosss sssooommmeee pppeeeoopplee ssseeee mmmeee nnno uuup aaannndd ssaaay III wwoonn't dddooo iiitttt." No further comments from the hero as he was rushed to the hospital for treatment of hypothermia. - TalkCock News, S.Korea

Monday blues

Yet another monday... So tired so cold.. Anyway, to continue with the catching up posts, I currently here in Korea for a development project with Samsung. So now I know all the dirty secrets of Samsung phones now.. Muahahaha!

Have been here for the 8th week now and going to stay for another 8 weeks or so. I'm abit embarrassed to say this but after 8 weeks in Korea, I haven't set foot in Seoul city yet. hahaha paiseh paiseh.. Life here can only be described with one word.... BORING. Maybe you will say its me who is boring and you are probably right, but this place is really small, ulu, boring, cold, small, ulu.... etc. You get the picture lah. Temperature here hovers around zero degrees so there goes my plan to run buck naked around the plant. heee...

Think i better stop before i get anymore corny liao.. wahahaha cya~

Time to start again?

Heya, after a few months, one Christmas and a New Year later, I finally start blogging again from some encouragement from a professional tennis player from somewhere in Italy with the nice river. ^_^ Anyway, here I am, in Korea blogging away.

First of all, I guess I better explain why I'm in Korea. I'm on holiday! Not! On working trip lah. I not even in Seoul loh, just a ulu town in the south of South Korea. Been here for 7 weeks already and looks like more weeks are coming after the CNY. Getting quite late le so more updates next time lah.

Sweet dreams~ ;-)
