Its been more den a week since I've updated as I'm quite busy for the past one to two weeks.

Now back to posting.

On the 2nd and 3rd day of the Korea trip we decided to go to Busan for a 2D1N experience as 7days in Seoul maybe abit too long for us.

Actually I also duno why we went to Busan as I was the one who suggested we go to Busan for 2 days as its the hometown of one of my favourite girlgroup Apink's member, Jung Eunji's hometown so thats one of the reasons why I wanted to visit Busan.

We decided to stay at Elysee Motel which the reviews for the motel is like superb as everybody have good reviews and ratings for the motel and they say the price is reasonable and so I decided to choose that place.

The key to our room and off we go !

The room for Elysee Motel is a very very simple room.

From what you guys see from the pic, its just a queen size bed and a single bed as there's 3 of us together.

There's a fridge provided so that we can have cold drinks, there's an electric kettle that we can boil water if needed. There's wifi and a PC provided so that we can use to surf net but it's running on Win98 and its kinda slow and its in full korean.

The whole room can be operated with a remote control which controls the TV, the aircon and the lights in the room so its quite convinient.

And of course the toilet is very important for me as its a place we wash up and shit, and the toilet doesn't disappoint.

The toilet comes with a bathtub and a rainshower but it's not recommended if you guys are staying as friends of guys and girl as the toilet door is full transparent so there's no privacy if you're bathing.

Overall I find the Elysee Motel not bad as it's simple and cosy but it's not as fantastic and fabulous that everybody have said. But for the price its actually quite bang for the buck so if you're on a budget and its quite recommended. Oh, and I have to mention that it's doesn't have a wardrobe or cupboard so there's gonna be some problem if you're staying here for a few days.

Gonna logoff now and I'll post on the food I had at Busan on my next post.

Its November already ! Oh my god ! Year 2014 is gonna end in 2 months !

LOL ! Ok, back to my blogging.

I'm gonna talk about the 1st day that I'm in Korea.

As a tourist, there are some places that is a must visit if you go Korea and I've decided to go to Myeongdong !

Myeongdong is a very tourist place as most of the shops staffs knows how to speak Korean, Chinese, limited english and limited japanese so that tourists are able to converse with the shop staffs.

We went to this restaurant call Two Two, which seems to be quite famous as I saw a few advertisment about them so we decided to try it when we saw it.

We ordered a Samgaetang ( Ginseng Chicken Soup ), Beancurd skin Soup and half a Fried Chicken. It doesn't look nice from the photo rite. And yes, it's overrated and expensive.

The Samgaetang and the Fried Chicken is like 16k Won each which is around SGD20 which I find is too overrated and overpriced in Korea.

After breakfast we went to walk and shopped around before we head off to Namsam Seoul Tower.

Seoul Tower is the place where lovers write their name on the locks and lock them on the fence which they say each other's love will be locked down forever .

Pardon for the lousy phototaking as there is really too many people there as its the Golden Week in China which tons of Ah Tiongs will go overseas and no offence to them, they really lack manners and rushing around and making tons of noise.

The amount of couples that had their love locked at this place is seriously over 9000. It's so damm alot that you won't be able to count the amount of locks there. ITS CRAZY !

After that when we have walked around and feeling abit tired, there is this lighting ceremony as it's the Hangul Day of Korea and there are performance.

There is this performance of people playing instruments and dancing around which is very impressive as their dance is like making the feather or the string on their hat turn and spin in a very nice way which I find it's damm difficult to do coz they have to play the instruments, walking around the square and moving their head AT THE SAME TIME which is damm impressive !

After that there is this martial arts performance which is damm impressive also as there is alot of weapons like the sword, the blade, the spear, double hand sword and it shows them chopping off straws and bamboo nicely and in style. Lucky we decided to come to Seoul Tower on this day but the amount of Cheena tourists here is kinda turn off seriously.

After that we decided to walk down the mountain which is damm tiring ! I seriously wonder how people can climb up and down this mountain ! We took like 20 minutes to travel down the mountain !

We decided to look for dinner at Myeongdong as it's around 7+ when we have walked down back to Myeongdong and I decide to go to the restaurant recommended by my friend who went to it before me.

The restaurant is call Wangjibib and I have to say their beef and pork is damm good ! The service of the restaurant is very good also but the price is more to the high side.

Even for the price, I'm willing to pay again to have a meal here ! Remember its Wangjibib !

After that we went back to our apartment to get ready for the next 2 days,

BUSAN !

That will have to wait till the next post !

It has been a busy weekend as I'm working at Gamestart Asia 2014 helping the guys out at the Gamescore booth and it was really busy !

Gamestart Asia 2014 is one of the first gaming convention in Singapore which I feel is made from something like the Tokyo Game Show. I was very impressed with the amount of people who came for this convention as it's not a free convention. The tickets cost $8.50 for a day and $15 for both days.

This is the team who is in charge of all the operations and make sure everything is working and going as planned for this world convention. WELL DONE GUYS ! ALL YOUR EFFORTS IS BEING WELL APPRECIATED !

There are companies like Sony, Bandai Namco and Blizzard that participated with this game convention which they showcased their upcoming games and demos which allowed people to visit their booths and have first hand try outs at the new upcoming games.

There are of course other events like Cosplay competition and video game competitions. And of course my favourite event is definitely the Capcom Pro Tour Asia tournament as some of the big name players come to Singapore like MCZ.Daigo Umehara, CCG.Humanbomb, Poongko and AVM.Gamerbee.

And of course being a fan of the game, I''ve took photos with Daigo Umehara and Humanbomb !

Look at how happy I am ! Daigo Umehara is like a legend of fighting games and is named as one of the fighting game gods in Japan.

Humanbomb aka Johnny Cheng is one of my favourite player as he has a very amazing Sakura and of course he is also a Yang player which I main in the game. Sooooo happy to be able to have a photo with him !

And of course working with the peeps is also so fun as we slack together, busy together, joke and chitchat together during anytime possible.

It may be busy but all these are actually times that you will remember as they provide so much fun and laughter !

Look at how busy all of us were during that two days. Working for more den 10hrs everyday is actually physically and mentally draining but of course like what I've said it's also full of fun.

Anyway in my view I find this Game Convention is truly a success and of course I hope that there will be a next time and surely the next time will be an even more successful one !

Hi guys, it's been a loing time since I've updated by blog as I'm too lazy and I'm cropped up with a few things on hand.

I've just came back from a holiday ! Ok, it's not just came back. I'm back to Singapore since last wednesday. As you can see from the picture, I've went to Korea again ! This time round it's a longer trip compared to last year as this time round I went there for 7 days.

I'm not someone that likes to go overseas as I feel it's a hassle to go voerseas as there's alot of procedures at the airport and of course the amount to things you have to pack when you're going to a foreign country. Not to forget the language barrier we have to face when it's a country that doesn't speak the language we know.

This time round I'm went there with 2 friends followed by 5 more friends who will join us midway during my trip.

This time round I started the trip is a different group for the first 3 days. Yes, my hair does look very dry which I do not know why.

We decided to go Korea as SQ have this promotion that if you buy more den 2 tickets, each ticket will be around $650 which is quite a bargain as it's SQ, but the timing is kinda fuck as we only arrive at around 1030pm at night.

As it's my 2nd time to Korea so I do have minimal knowledge to things I need to do there when I've reached ( and yes, I do not have any minimal knowledge to their language. ).

For people who is going there for the first time, I will suggest you guys spend some money and rent the wifi dongle which is call the Olleh Egg.

This item is the thing to have when you're in korea. Its a wifi dongle. This dongle allows you to connect up to 4 wireless device at the same time which gives you internet speed which is as fast or maybe faster den the internet connection that you have at home in Singapore.

Why do I say that this thing is important ? It's because our lifestyle now we're too used to having internet on the go and this thing definitely fits the needs that we want. You will be able to use Google Maps, Google Translate and of course you will be able to keep in contact with your friends.

This thing cost you around 8000won per day and you'll have to place a deposit of 150k Won with your credit card. It may seem abit pricey as it's like sgd10 per day but trust me, this thing is seriously important and worth the money.

And this is the first meal I had in Korea, Incheon Airport.

As when we landed, after all the procedures and renting the Olleh Egg, there's no more airport buses for us to take to our apartment, so we decided to have a meal first since we're gonna take cab from the airport to our apartment.

This may not be the best meal I had in Korea but still it's of a respectable standard.

Spicy beef soup with rice to fill the hungry stomach after a 7hr flight from Singapore to Korea.

It's a 24hr eating place at the airport but the people working there needs abit of customer service as their face is so pissed off and showing attitude when I'm trying to order my meal. But its ok as in the end the food is being served.

And after the meal it's time to go to the resting place, Brownsweet Residence ! ( Yup, its this place again )

But that I'll have to leave it to another post next time as I'm tired already. LOL !

Cya guys soon for the next post !

And I wish my good frenz Ckm and Jess a happy happy marriage !

12-09-2014

Been lazy to do everything nowadays. Its either I'm getting lazy or I just dun have any mood to do anything nowadays.

My health is really getting from bad to worse. That day I really suffered quite a bad chest pain which I nearly fainted and the people around me says I look very uncomfortable also which I really feel very uncomfortable.

I was told by my doctor that I shouldn't take painkillers as its will worsen my diabetic condition and spoil my liver.

Yup, this is the most sian thing that you can ever get. Having 2 illnesses and bith their medication and problems clash with each other. I take the medicine for this problem and it will worsen that problem. I take medicine for that problem and it'll worsen this problem. Life sucks huh.

But I always have a not so positive or positive attitude towards all these illnesses. I'll just take everything step by step. Things doesn't improve if I just keep stressing on it and worry about it, it does absolutely nothing. If I have to die, I will just die, nothing to be worried about.

Sometimes I just dun understand the people around me. They have a good life but they still keep complaining about how their life sucks when I see the life they are having now, it doesn't even suck abit.

Sometimes I feel some people theybare just too comfortable with what they have and they do not want or unable to adjust their lfe. They are unable to even accept abit of failure or obstacle and they kust say their life sucks and they do not even put in any effort to solve the problem.

If you have a problem you need to solve, solve it. If you have a problem that is really unable to solve, worrying so much doesn't do anything.

But alot of times I see the problems that my frenz are facing aren't any big problems. 

My frenz all always complain that they want this they want that but they do not have any money to buy it. Is the thing a must ? Izzit very important ? If its a must den you should have prepared yourself for it like saving money for it beforehand. If its not a must den just dun buy it. 

A need and a want is two totally different thing. Its like I need medication but I want a car. I need to eat but I want a break.

But alot of the people around me doesn't understand that. They think a need and a want are two same things.

Suddenly I do not have any mood to blof anymore.

Till next time

My all time favourite cutie Jung Eunji !

24-08-2014

And the football season is back !

Finally the BPL season is back which means there is no more boring weekends on tv anymore.

Ever since the World Cup 2014 ended in July, I realise that I didn't even turn on my TV during the weekends as there really nothing much to watch during the weekends as most are drama repeats that is being shown during the weekdays.

Lately work has been more busy because I'm being appointed to more work which is a good thing actually because I feel the previous few months I'm too slack already, always watching drama and playing games during working hours which makes me feel guilty as the others are working and I'm not working. At least now I feel more involved and not going to work like an empty vessel which doesn't contribute to the operation of the company.

I'm using this app call Carousell to sell away my model kits as leaving them at home to collect dust, might as well I sell them away and get back some cash to use and fund for my Korea trip during October. My frenz all asked me why am I selling all the kits that I've loved so much last time, izzit that I'm in some sort of trouble or anything.

Guys, dun worry. Everything is fine. It's just that I see all these things there but they have practically no use in my life now, might as well make use of it and sell them away. Selling them and I still can make use of the money that I got back from selling them.

As the age comes by, I feel my passion and love towards those things that I've liked and loved alot is slowly missing. Last time I was so in love with Gundams that I follow everything about Gundams and dream that one day I'm able to see a Gundam.

Now Japan has life size Gundam in Tokyo but I dun really seem very interested in it and partially it's because a trip to Japan is actually quite expensive also. But I'm gonna save up and plan for a Japan trip maybe next year March or April to visit Universal Studio as they have those themed days that I'm quite interested in .

Nowadays I'm just so lazy to blog. I'm supposed to blog every few days but now it becomes every few weeks den update one time.

Logging Off

And our country is 49yrs old already !

Happy national day to singapore !

There have been so many changes to the country in these few years, good and bad changes to everybody.

But in these few years, the population of our country have increased tremendously but its most because of the influx of the foreigners  into the country.

It has become a time that when I'm taking the train on my way to work, I'm the only singaporean in the cabin.

Yes, it is just this bad.

Sometimes when I'm outside window shopping or having a walk around the area, I dun really feel that its my country because I see more non-countrymens in the area den my own countrymen.

Yes, I do realise the needs of the foreigners to come into the country as there are alot of jobs that our own countrymen are not willing to do and which the foreigners are all and willing to do them.

The govt always wants us to get married and have more babies to contribute more to the population to the country.

Yes, that is something that everybody in the country understands. But having babies is not as easy as what they says.

Giving birth to a baby requires a ton of money, and yes its really requires a ton of money. From all the monthly medical appointments to the giving birth and to the rearing of the child.

Its not something like just to get married, have sex and giving birth to a baby that simple. The parents have to plan out a life and route for the kid until he is grown up and sensible enough to make the decisions he or she wants. The parents have to plan for their daily needs and education so that the kid will grow up to be at least a person who can be independant.

But the people who are managing the country doesn't know about all these because they are all so highly paid that they do not give a fuck to all these things. They work for the country, its a standard thing that the people of the governing sector will help out all these people.

But what about to those people who are low earners and does not receive any help from these sectors ? They can only keep their mouth shut and suck their thumbs.

Thats when all these unhappy people come out and make noise and these governing people.

But in the end what do they get ? They get blacklisted when they need help, they get sued from saying the truth but it damages the governing sectors just because they are not happy with the public knowing about the truth.

Oh well, if that continues and we shall see how the newer generation will react to what they gonna do

its been a long two weeks since I've blogged again.

It's been a busy and tiring period for me as I've been working everyday since the end of the World Cup. The world cup have been one of the most draining periods I've had since a long time. Not to mention Evo2014 finals also happens to be on the same day.

2 weeks ago I had a meetup with a bunch of friends as we're gonna celebrate the birthday of one of our long time fren. 

Sometimes its so amazing how people still keep in touch with each other like since secondary school period until now.

Some of them are my classmates from secondary school and some of them are like the first time I'm seeing them.

But somehow due to the advanved technology in this world now, all of us can be easily connected through the phone.

We are all in a whatsapp group that talks about anything under the sun, under the moon, under anything.

When I say they talk about anything, I do really mean ANYTHING.

All of them have like millions of topic to talk about anything. Anything from gossips, gossips and more gossips. Whenever a topic starts, all of them will join in and talk about it nonstop.

I find it being so amazing.

They may not see each other everyday but the way they chitchat on whatsapp they seems like they are always together, bonded by a thing call friendship.

Sometimes we can see in the chat they are angry towards each other about the things they do or the thungs they say. But at the end of the day they will surely forgive each other and let the matter rest.

They will always support each other and help each other when in need without any hesitation. Especially the ladies of the group. Their friendship seems so strong and unbreakable, not to mention they are also a bunch of pretty mums with cute and adorable kids.

Friendship is such an amazing thing that it can bond each other and of course, destroy each other. The more close you are with each other, the more vulnerable you are against each other. But I doubt this will happen to this bunch of frenz.

Happy to know this bunch of frenz and they really let me gave a different and positive view of friendship.

It has been a long long month. Everyday having lack of sleep since 14th June 2014. 

It's the world cup ! 32 teams and 64 matches.

I admit that I didn't watch all the matches but at least I've watched like maybe 75% of the matches that's being shown on TV.

The World Cup only happens  once every 4 years which is a very big thing for football fans. Players from different football clubs will gather for their country and fight for the best football country team of the world.

This time World Cup is happening in Brazil which is like 12hours before us which means the matches are happening after midnight at our time.

Late as it may be but this doesn't stop all the football fans from around the world from watching the greatest event of football.

This time, the finals is Germany going against Argentina. A European country against A South American country.

Germany has always been a very consistent team which always goes to the top 4 of the tournament but always had no luck as they always fall either during the semifinals or in the finals.

Argentina on the other hand is not consistent and their team is lacking of teamwork but surprisingly this time round they all work together to fight for country pride.

And yesterday, lady luck is on the Germans side and they won the world cup trhough a fantastic strike from Mario Gotze in Extra Time which gives them the result of a 1-0 win over the Argentines !

Finally this young, hardworking and talented bunch of footballers have done their country proud !

02-07-2014

And July have finally arrived !

Half of 2014 have passed and the 2nd half of 2014 has begun.

This month have been a truly tiring month for me. 

Work have been ok but recently there have been some problems lately. 

There have been some miscommunications between each other which leads to some problems and friction.

Yes, there is surely friction and miscommunication between people but I always feel trashing everything out is the best thing to do when there is problem but eventually it also depends on whether the affected party wants to listen or not.

Everybody have different mentality, mindset and decisions. And sometimes when the problem arises, please say it out. 

Humans are not god, we cannot read your mind and knows what you are thinking. But if you do not want to say anything and just hide up everything, nothing is gonna be done and nothing will be solved.

But there's nothing I can do as it doesn't really involve me.

Feeling tired nowadays due to World Cup.

Not enough sleep almost everyday but its only once every 4 years, all the sacrifice is worth it.

Lazy to type anymore, till next time

15-06-2014

It's been awhile since I've updated. Been busy lately.

Last week was the wedding of Bin and Deb. Finally the both of them have gotten married after like being together for like 13 years.

It's incredible !

Pat Tor for 13 years is seriously a very long duration, not much of the people I know is able to withstand such long relationship before getting married. This shows how true love is around in this world.

This period is gonna be a very tiring period for me as it's the World Cup period which I have to stay up late at nights to watch the World Cup.

World Cup happens once every four years, how can I miss it !

Too tired to write, off to sleep.

30-05-2014

Another week have gone and its already end of May.

So fast and we're already half way of the year 2014.

During the Chinese New Year period, they said the year 2014 is a fabulous year for the Pigs. Everything is like graded AAA in terms of health, luck, work, everything. But all these doesn't seem to land on me.

Ever since the year 2014 started, health has been getting from bad to worse on my side.

Diabetic condition have no improvement. I'm already eatimg alot lesser and cutting dowm on sugar intake which is practically none liao except for sometimes they happen to be in the food that I've ordered den I'll try to avoid as much as possible.

The previous medical appointment and my doctor told me something is wrong with my eye scan which may affect my vision in the future, be it near future or far future.

My heart problem is like gonna fail me anytime. The chestpains are coming alot more randomly compared to last year and sometimes the pains are really quite painful that I have to take the painkillers given to me by the doctor.

Few days ago and the big boss of my workplace came and he wanted to close the office aa he said our department is a bleeding department and we're not earning enough to cover the expenses.

Seriously from the first day of 2014, nothing have beem going well for me. Its depressing. Sick and tires of everything.

22-05-2014

Decision making, how important can making a decision be ? 

Its very important to make a correc decision in everything as everything we do, every decision we make will affect everything that will happen in the future, be it good or bad.

All these decisions will be irreversible so everything must be made with a sound mind as every decision must be a sound decision in your life.

I was chatting with my frenz that day about making decisions in life and my fren was saying that he doesn't know whether his changing of the job is a correct decision or not.

Previously he was working as a retail staff and as we all know, retail line doesn't really earn you tons of money and so he decided to change his job and went for the insurance agent aka financial planner.

After he changed his job, he did earn alot more but when this happens, more things lie on him.

As his grandma is hospitalised for quite a period, the relatives all pushed the medical bills over to him as they all know he is doing quite well at the moment and he is able to afford the medical bills.

When he is working as a retail staff and his salary is not that much compared to now, the relatives said that all should share the medical bills. Now when my fren earns more, they ask him to pay more of the medical bills.

What bullshit is this !

The medical bill is the same everytime, so if my fren is asked to pay more means the other relatives will be paying lesser. 

What kinda stupid nonsense is this !

I mean its his grandma of course he doesn't mind to pay the bills but be fair also lah, she is also YOUR grandma, YOU also have to play the part is paying the medical bills.

There's no such logic as I earn more and I have to pay more. Money dun drop from the sky, it requires hardwork to be able to earn more money.

Thats why my fren thinks now he doesn't know whether him changing to this higher earning job is a better choice or not due to all these things.

Problems problems, everybody have them.
