In Korea...reached Incheon...tour guide brought us to Seoul for shopping and breakkie...(will post some pictures soon)...and then back to the airport for a transfer to Jeju Island...Reached Jeju...went for lunch...and went to the "traditional" village of Jeju...where there are no thefts etc...apparently, you can leave your main door open and no one will go into your house...they use a log at the front of their gate to indicate if they are home and you can enter the house or not...went to a mountain there...errr...cant remember...starts with S i Think...climb right to the top...and saw the opening of the volcano...pretty view from the top...In Jeju for 2 days...and back to Seoul...

Took bus rides to Han Hwa Water Pia...Mount Sorak...Yeong Pyeong...Nami Island...errr....cant remember very well hahaha...old liao...but it was really fun...went skiing in Yeong Pyeong...Dave and I were quite good...hahaha...we didnt fall a single time...I think its quite similar to rollerblading/skating...but yeah...its really fun...we enjoyed it...and we're planning another skiing trip either to New Zealand or Melbourne this year...if we have enough annual leave...we went to the hot spring resort...had lots of fun...went on the water slide...oh ya...we also went to Lotte World amusement park...and also the outdoor one...err...Everland Park...went with Dave on the world's steepest roller coaster ride...screamed my head off...actually...screaming helps...hahaha...went to many other rides...but mainly roller coasters...was good...cant recap the whole trip...but overall...it was a wonderful time in korea...will post pictures soon...

Got back to Singapore...got back home...rested for a day...spent time with my parents and niece...and next day, we went to Kuching...spent time with Dave's grandparents and aunties/uncle...dave's grandpa and grandma are so cute...his grandpa loves music and kept asking me to play the organ for him everyday...he can play very well himself too...dave's grandma...loves dave heaps...kept talking to him...his aunts and uncle kept bringing us for makan...i put on more weight...gosh...3 days in kuching...back to JB...

In jb...busy as bee too...my uncle and aunt came from Canada and Aussie...so spent time with them...and hmm....we will be heading to Canada soon too....cant wait to go...only problem is lack of leave...sigh...but yeah...it was really good catching up with so many people...at night...met up with my high school friends...went to visit my friend's baby...so so so cute...gosh...chit chatted till midnight...could have gone on and on...but yeah...time constraints....next day...went to visit my auntie...and spent time with my uncles and aunties...and then went to buy stuff....and that was already our last day in msia.... :(:(:( so sad...i really love my parents...niece so cute....sigh...wish i could spend more time with them...met my bro a couple of times too...managed to ride in his nissan silvia...i hope my bro can come to aussie soon too...hope he changes his mind about aussie...hhehe....would really love to have my family close by...

Last day...got up...ate my favourite kueh tiaw soup...and then dad bought goreng pisang and keledek and chendol for us...and then we headed off to Singapore airport again...and back to perth it was...so sad...as always....tears....and then met Meng How and Serene in the airport....on the same flight....didnt get to talk much...but we'll catch up in Perth....haha...

Got back last night....found out that the Honda was broken into...but weird thing is...nothing was taken from the car...the "thief" only made a mess in the car...and that's it...maybe they took some stuff....not sure....

Updates...end of summer...

Wow...as usual...my normal line..."TIME FLIES!!!!!"...its nearly the end of summer...

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR TO ONE AND ALL...

It has been ages since I updated my blog...Some of you have been asking me about what is going on in my life here down under...and some of you have asked me to add your new work email address donkey years ago...apologies for the slackness...I'll add all of you including those who didnt ask me to add...coz this is the best place to know what I have been up to...hehehe...sorry lah...I'm a bit slack these days with the net...best to catch up via email...in the office... :)

Last I updated about things I should be grateful about...my parents coming, buying an investment property, blah blah blah...I also mentioned that I had my exams coming up and was gonna die ugly...surprisingly, I scored a distinction...HAHAHA...*smiles*...God's always there for me...hiak hiak hiak...was quite worried actually...coz I was busy with my family and didnt have time to study...was cramming everything...but thank God...I pulled through... :)

This semester, I am too ambitious, and I am doing 2 units...kinda worried...coz 1 unit is already quite a killer, but I am just gonna bite the bullet and do it...coz I really wanna get over and done with studying...too tiring...plus working as well...

Oh ya...another update is I have changed jobs...been trying to get into the Oil and Gas industry...coz I hear alot about the industry...etc...and I think that it sounds really exciting...plus, since I am in Western Australia, I should try to catch the mining boom...hiak hiak hiak...saw a position online...sent in my resume...scored and interview...and got the job...quite happy...at the moment...I am enjoying my job...thoroughly...learning heaps of stuff in this industry...quite different...but yeah...bosses are cool...and it's a good place to work in...for those of you who know Perth...I am working in West Perth now...I have a parking lot too...hiak hiak hiak...so these days, I drop Dave off, and then pick him up after work...

In terms of church...we've have a break with our cell group...starting up next week...the theme in church is "DEVOTED"...how we need to be devoted to God...why we should be devoted, blah blah blah...it's good...been to church just now...and it was good...

It's 1:18am now in the morning...just cant get to sleep...decided to write a blog...before trying to sleep...

Lots of happenings...lots of thoughts...lots of reminiscience on my part...I've been reading back old emails from old friends...friends in Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Melbourne, China, etc etc...I really miss the days...I miss the friendships that I shared with each and everyone of my friends...Also, because I couldnt sleep, I tried going in to ICQ just now, to see if there are still anyone online that program...guess what?!?!?! NOT A SOUL!!!!! I went back to read the chat history that I have in there...memories came flooding back...I dropped a message to some of you...you know who you are...who chatted with me during my days in Nedlands...hiak hiak hiak...I know that those messages will probably not be read...but it would be interesting to know who managed to read my messages via icq...HAHAHAHA...let me know if you read it yah!!!!!

I miss the carefree days...chatting online...meeting up with you guys...etc etc...I think many of you old friends of mine...we catch up alot via the net...Each time I think of you guys...I count my blessings!!!!! I miss all of you very very much...and I really hope to catch up with you guys soon!!!!!

Each and everyone of you...have a special place in my heart...I treasure our friendships...and I thank you for being in my life...

Wow...I think I am getting very very "emotional" here...

Some of you, I have known for more than 22 years...I thank God for your friendship...some of you...I may have known a shorter time, but I also am glad that I found a friend in you...you guys make my life more colourful and more exciting...

I hope to keep in closer touch with each and everyone of you...

I miss you all...take care lots and have a great year ahead...

I shall head off to bed now...have a good night...and god bless all of you...

See you all soon!!!!!
