Some thoughts

It has been a long time since I updated. I can see that my blog is filled with spider webs and dust.

But anyway, today seemed like an up and down moments for me.

I had some thoughts and I guess I wish to share them here.

I was having my lunch time at Newton Circus Food Centre. I ordered avocado and it costs $3. It was pretty expensive for a non air-conditioned place or hawker centre. It is the price from the shopping centre. Okay, the cup is slightly bigger. But I bought similar size from AMK hawker centre, the one near to the market, near to the KBOX, at $2.50. And the avocado is superb! Those who like fruit juice can go patronize that shop. The shop name is CEBREAKER. The boss is also very friendly. They actually have another branch at Clementi. They got this card, buy how many cups of fruit juice got one free cup that kind of stuff. But anyway, I love avocado. That was one of the best I have drank so far. ( The best is homemade by myself! :] )

Other than avocado fruit juice, I order sliced fish with Mee Sua. It costs $5. I was pretty shocked to be that expensive. So it costed me $8 for a meal. That was rather expensive. Imagine I can have a Mc Donald's meal at $4.50 with a burger, fries and drink with air-con. Or even my favourite Subway for a $5 meal if they still having this promotion for a sub and a drink.

So the bottom line is that:
Is the cost of food in hawker centres rising? Or it is just Newton Food Centre is expensive?

While I was eating, there was this family of threes sitting beside my next table. I can sense from the tone of the wife, I can feel her anger and frustration but she was trying to control it. After ordering the food and came, the wife was eating some soup meal and the husband was talking to her some other stuffs. She lost her patient and accidentally spilled some soup onto the daughter (age around 4)'s hand. She tried to put some ice on the daughter's hand as the daughter was having ice at that moment and in the meantime quarreling with her husband. She also apologized to her daughter many times. The daughter started crying.

You guess what I'm thinking. Would you if you are single or married with kids or whatsoever, would you quarrel with your partner in front of your kids? I think is a very bad childhood memories for them.

You know what is my second thoughts? Why would you marry this person in the first person if you are so pissed with this person?

Someone told me that in courtships, the other person would always shows his or her best self. And we are blinded as always. But as time goes, you would realize the bits and pieces you feel pissed about him or her.

I'm not very experienced. So ya, but just wondered what if such things happened to me if I ever find a boyfriend, get married and have kids, what would I response?

Anyway, just some thoughts.

I was angry and disappointed as well.
I feel betrayed. I think I told two of my close friends regarding this. I don't wish to share it here because it made me feel like I bad mouthed someone. But anyway, probably I need to do some reflections on myself as well.

And thanks for the advises given by my two friends. And I love this code: The only difference between a good day and a bad day is your attitude! 


It is not someone else or something else that spoiled your mood, is how you want to look at it. 
If someone angered you, and you are angry, eh-huh! You fell for it! 
So think positively and smile brightly everyday! You don't know which prince charming would fall for that smile. Ha ha! 

On a brighter note.
I opened a new big case. And tomorrow is the first appointment. Pray hard for me that I can get and close the case. Pray for me!

Okay, shall end off!

Take care & cheers!

Sam :)

Korea final!

13/12/2011- Our breakfast! 



After a heavy breakfast, time for some exercise!



Notice we are wearing sunglasses because the sun is really scorning! (did I use the word correctly?) 

This is like the mascots of Jeju. If you touch these, you would be blessed with lots of kids. 

We are walking on these left overs of lava. It has been smoothed for easier walking by tourists.  






This supposed to look like something. If I remember correctly is supposed to look like a face. But it doesn't seem to me look like anything. 

 Finally we reached the top! :)



Next, the guide brought us to an orange farm. 

 Look carefully! Some of the oranges are fake! 

 I don't really like the oranges in Korea because it tasted sour!

So we bought back orange crackers and chocolate instead.

After that, we were bought to understand more of the history of Jeju Island.
So most of the work were done by the females in fact all of the work were done by the females instead of the males in the past. Like taking care of the kids, household chores like making kimchi etc.

The basket was for the male babies so that their mum can actually rock the babies to sleep. While the daughters if I remember correctly is sleep on the floor or something. The big jars is used to keep kimchi and normally is buried underground to keep them warm and moist. The white straps are carrying things, the females have to carry it to do the chores. So what the males do? Act like a king will do. Like seriously?  

This is my cute little cousin, okay he is not little anymore. He is like 14 already. And he is wearing my sunglasses! Isn't he look like Khalil Fong?! 

Khalil Fong looks super gorgeous in black glasses!  
 I like guys with nerdy spectacles. I wonder when did I have that weird habit. Don't you think guys with nerdy spectacles look super cute? Okay, that have to be depend what type of guys. Haha!

Wishing rock! It is made of lava rocks and it is belief that when you touched it and pray, your wishes would come true! 

Here I am with the wishing rock! I wish for my first  million dollars to come soon! 
The surrounded area by the rock is for rearing black boar. While the place where the little girl in purple is standing  is the toilet. So the shit would be eaten by the boar.
Another famous product of Korea is honey! And they are selling house bones for the calcium too! 

This is the door of an ancient house. If the sticks are put down means the owner is at home and guests are welcome! 

The mounding stones!  
The vase that used to collect rain! Frogs put in  to prevent stagnant of the water. And notice the hole in the vase? It is to prevent the vase from being filled so as to prevent the frogs from jumping out of the vase! Ha ha! How smart! 
Lunch!




After that we went for horse-riding! I think it is my first time on a horse! It is very exciting! :) Fun! :)



This is my horse's back! 
While there are some went to go-kart!

After which we went to glass castle! Everything is made of glass! Super cool!


Jack & the Beanstalk that long STALK! 




Heart shaped glass! 

Nice! :)
After that we went to bears museum! But I don't the photos! Bears are cute! :)

14/12/2011- Breakfast in hotel!  





Then we were brought to this mysterious road!







This looks like an uphill slope right? But in fact it is a downhill slope! 
Next we went to make kimchi!




Then we tried on Korean costumes! But again photos are not with me, facebook has the photos if you want to look at my pretty face. Ha ha!


Finally, our final destination was to climb a small hill to take a nice and final look at the beautiful and clear sky!























And we went to the sea!






Doesn't it shape like a dragon?




The Jeju mascots! 

Our last meal in Korea in airport!







Our final shopping in the airport! 

Bye bye Korea! 

Going to our next destination! Shanghai! :)
