Believe it or not? I was so excited about this trip and truly enjoying myself until I totally forgot to update this journal. These two days hubby and have been experiencing a lot of fantastic thing that we don't get to in Brunei. On the night of 27/12/2010, hubby and I felt the very first time playing in the snow. We were shopping at Dongdaemun, and halfway through it, as we were entering one shopping mall, the snow started to land softly on our face then our hands... Our coats and eventually all over us. Hubby and I were like little kids, running and trying to catch that tiny softness that felt like nothing at all! The snow got heavier as we were playing, the roads that once black and dark suddenly turned all glistening white, everywhere was white and cold... People running trying to avoid the snow, because it was really heavy. The temperature that night reached a freezing of at lease 15 degree celcius! The feeling of having that little white softness stopped and melted on our face are something that can't be described by words... This is a longing since childhood for hubby and I.... Finally, it came true!
I have to admit that this trip is rather draining, as we do a lot of walking around. Most Bruneian would agree with me that in our country, we usually move around in a car, the idea of walking that one kilometere is killing. These few days I have walked miles and miles, but good thing is, I don't feel hot or sweaty at all... How wonderful is it to live in a cold country like Seoul! Last night, Hubby and I went to Myeongdong, it was a large area where we spent hours shopping and looking around. The roads were filled with snow and because of the low temperature, now has turned on to ice and formed this icy slippery surface that make us quite hard to balance ourselves when walking. I fell down once when shopping in Myeongdong, it was very painful, but thank goodness no one know me there, so can totally cut the embarrassment! Haha!
Hubby is a little under the whether since reached Seoul. The left side of his cheek is swollen... We went to the Pharmacy to bought some medicine, the thing is, all of the labels are printed in Korean! How on earth are we going to understand? Hence we think better to see a doctor, yesterday morning we went to Beseto clinic to let a dentist checked on hubby, dentist claimed that very likely due to the bad cavity that's why hubby's face is swelling. He prescribed some antibiotics to Hubby... Hubby has been taking it since yesterday, but we are yet to see major improvement, hopefully he will be better soon so that he can be like me, enjoying himself too during this trip. Till then...

Year 2010 Christmas Trip - Seoul (Part 2)
Spent the last 2 days in KL was fun even though tiring. We have done and seen much. Little things were bought this trip, knowing that we still have a big trip ahead of us, we do not wish to add on anymore unnecessary weight to the already-heavy luggage. We are now having breakfast at Coffee Club on Bukit Bintang which is a brand new Western outlet near to Piccolo Hotel, we had our Christmas night supper here, too. The food is off quality, but I find it a little pricey compare with the normal places, but well, it's Bukit Bintang, what else can we ask for? We are all set and ready for the flight this afternoon... The next update will be when we reach Seoul! Anyohiseyo, Seoul!!
4:15pm... And I thought next update will be in Seoul! Haha! We waited for a good 3 hours on the check-in line due to computer faulty! Just imagine, we've been standing up for this long! Crazy!! Finally, we are now on board and flying off to Seoul. Honey and I are extremely hungry and thirsty, just wish that the stewardess will serve food and drinks soon. Flight delayed for 2 hours... We will be arriving in Seoul in about 6 hours and 20 mins, it should then almost 11 pm.

怎樣
今晚, 在收音機裡聽到了一首戴佩妮的舊歌 - "怎樣".
回家後, 立刻上網, 在Youtube搜尋了一會兒. 找到了.
接下來的那一個小時裡, 不停的都在聽著這一首歌, 每當歌手唱到 "如果, 我們現在還在一起會是怎樣? 我們是不是還是深愛著對方? 像開始時那樣, 握著手就算天快亮?" 我很不由自主的會閉上眼睛, 一些往事會一幕一幕的閃過, 那些都是跟你的片段. 我突然明白對這首歌莫明而來的供鳴是對你的思念...
分手也快將十年, 一直以來我都逃避任何與你有關的消息, 壓抑著自己盡量不去想起和你一起的種種快樂. 然而, 這一首歌一開始唱就把整顆心給牽回到當年的佈景, 好像一套舞台劇將要上演... 道具, 燈光及音樂是這麼的熟悉但卻那麼的遙遠. 現在, 我已不再是台上的花旦, 這一切一切已離我太遠了, 我只好充當觀眾來看這一場沒有好結果的經典.
如果, 我只是說如果... 我和你從來都沒認識過, 我現在的日子會是怎樣?
如果, 我也只是說如果... 我和你現在還在一起, 我們的日子又會是怎樣?
兩個本來很熟悉的人, 突然變成了陌路人... 兩個本來朝夕相對的人, 突然各分東西... 剛相愛時, 你我也沒想到結局會是分開; 都說好要天長地久, 長相廝守, 但雙方都遵守不了這一份承諾. 說過的話已不算數了, 答應過的都可以忘掉了! 那些年, 如果你問我有否開心過? 不瞞你說... 這麼多年在一起, 沒有快樂的時候是騙你的... 但可悲的是不開心的事實在太多, 多的連那僅有的一丁點快樂也完全被淹蓋了. 所以, 分手成了我最終的決定.
我知道這一切都不會重來... 坦白說, 我也沒有任何意願想重來. 但請讓我保留這一點點想念你的權力, 不是還愛你, 而是感謝你曾經陪我走過那一段路, 也感謝你肯把我放開, 好讓我能碰到現在的這位他... 謝謝你.
你的前妻供勉之...

Back to reality... (after Chinese New Year)
The much anticipated Chinese New Year had come and go with a blink of eyes, last weekend it was the Chap Goh Meh (the 15th day of CNY), and it marked the end of the Chinese New Year's celebrations and our normal routines start again.
Returning to reality, starting normal working / schooling hours, traffic jams, meetings, deadlines, trainings, appointments... the list can go on and on... everyone is going back to their normal practise to work hard for a living. During the passed 2 weeks, the world seemed to have stop turning, most of the people were indulging themselves in the spirit of the holidays and whatever that could be put on hold were being put on hold. Nothing is more important to enjoy the New Year and spend time with the family.
I returned to work on the 4th day of Chinese New Year, according to my Chinese zodiac, it was the most auspicious day this year for a Snake to start work... Not being superstitious, but since I have read it somewhere, might as well just practise it; at least with this, I'll always believe that I have had a good start this New Year, and whatever comes my way can only be fortunate and properous.
All well, ends well. I am very Chinese about it.

Year of Tiger
It's Saturday, 13th Feb 2010, my 33rd Chinese New Year's eve.
Chinese New Year is the biggest celebrations of the Chinese community in everywhere of the world, as long as Chinese people can be found. Everyone is rushing here and there to buy staff for their home, getting new clothes done, trying out new shoes, cleaning their houses... So much so to be done, and the spirit of the celebrations is at its peak.
I will always look forward for Chinese New Year's celebrations, this is the time we need no other reasons to be with our family... spending time with each other and even just being at home with everyone around, not going anywhere can feel oh-so-right. This time of the year, my Mommy will definitely be the busiest at home, cleaning, cooking, preparing, washing... so much for Mommy to do... everyone will be home for the reunion dinner tonight, those overseas, those work far away... the feeling of anticipating tonight's dinner is so good... knowing that we will soon meet up with cousins that we haven't seen for a long time, uncles and aunties that we have missed.
After the dinner tonight, we will have our private fire-crackers & fire-works show in the compound outside my uncle's house in Seria. Everyone will be excited, waiting for my brother Nam & cousin Hung to get things ready and all the bad luck and negative energy that came with us since the year before will be blew up high in the sky and explode together with the fire works... shatter into tiny little sparks that light up the night sky, then disappear into thin air... we'll start a new year with all positive and auspicious energy...!
This year, the year of Tiger. According to the Chinese horoscope, this will be a busy year for me, lots of new area to be explored in work, and lots of new responsibility which will better my experience. And in love life, married couple will enjoy abundance romance and sweet time together... but even without this saying, I know that Honey and I have always been a couple that envied by lots of people... :) Health wise, this year need to watch out of all the frequent dine-out and indigestion... go slow, lite and go-green will be the strategies for now :) Being a Snake, Tiger year definitely bring me more power to fly higher! This year, I have set myself certain target at work that I will achieve, like I always say, nothing is impossible! Even it is something new to do, I learn as a I go... these experiences are something that no one can take away from me.
Allow me to quote a sentence that I read from the book titled "Shame" by Jasvinder Sanghera lately, "Speak what you want because once you've sown that seed you can work towards it". One must always have dreams to work on, dream is something that will keeps us moving on... a person without dreams it's like a spirit stuck in a zombie body. I know that my dream of being successful is taking me step-by-step closer to it, I want it and I will get it.
A New Year, a new me... I wanted only the best to happen to myself and I choose to live my life this positive way. May the energy of heaven and earth empowered me to complete this year of Tiger with lots of determinations and strong wills, to make all this possible!
