Korea trip in Oct 2016

For the past few month, I can't decide when should I go back to Korea,  
And finally I have confirmed and decided I will head back in Oct
Wanted to take Singapore Airline, so I was waiting for the air ticket fare to decrease but it's is only getting more and more expensive
But I was lucky to find quite cheap ticket with Asiana Airline.
I was able to book my ticket at SGD 700 only !!! Which is consist as super cheap !!!  

Because I had booked my air ticket to Korea, It has been confirm I will be in Korea for 9 days
But I have not decided how many days I want to spend in Jeju, how many days in Seoul
Although I know I will spend most of my time in Jeju but I am thinking if I really want to spend so many days alone in Korea. Was thinking if I want to take a short de-route to Osaka which I did not spend so much time when I was there.

I'm not going to do anything for the time being first.
Going to wait till the time closer than come and slowly book for accommodation and my Jeju flight.
Since recently I will be quite buy with work, so it is a good thing I put this a side first.
But this is the first time I barely plan anything after I confirm a trip.
Think I'm not going to do much planning for this trip,
Maybe just go there and decide what should I do, go where I want. 

Should have not ....

I should not have accept the job. 

If I have not accept the job, I don't need to feel bad. 

If I have not accept the job, I don't need to feel afraid. 

I was about the part time job that I accept. 

Because my employer for this job kept stressing me to finish the job as soon as possible, so to finish the job as soon as possible, I took some of old picture that I use for other employer and use for them. 

I admit this is not a good thing but it does not mean that I did not do my best. 

Because I had no time to do during the weekend, I had to rush back home after work everyday just to do it. I did that for almost a month, then I was able to finish it faster 

I felt bad doing it but if I did not do that, I really don't know how long will it take for me to finish.  

I asked my employer to check on the things that I round up everything. 

I don't know if he really did check or not first before accepting the final blog that I done. 

Few weeks after that, my ex-empolyer called me and asked did I know about this blog ? And if I was the one who do the blog ? as the blog has quite a few things are quite similar as their blog. At that moment I nearly wanted to just hang up the phone. I start to feel afraid and start making up thing to cover it first. (I was at the airport waiting for the flight to go on vacation!!!) 

My current employer called a few time, trying to ask me to add some details for him but I refuse to answer this call. And then my friend called me, ask how I was doing and ask why I refuse to answer my employer's call. I told him I was on vacation that is why I didn't answer his call and also explain to him my worries. He just said there is nothing for you to feel bad or afraid when you did nothing wrong, and I should have just call him and tell him about this. he is about to help if there is a need. I feel much better after talking to him. So I called my employer after I came back from the vacation. But I don't know how should I face him when I go back to Korea. 

I should have just reject the job in the first place.   

I should have not do this job.... 

  

Pls stay strong - Kumamoto

Just almost three weeks ago, I was there
I was there visiting Kumamoto castle unplanned
And today half of it was destroy.
Destroy by the earthquake

I will never forget the beauty that they show me when I was there
I was happy that I decided to go there last minute.

We always have to face all kinds of unexpected things in life.  
You never know what will happen the next moment
Who will know that there will be a earthquake that will spoil the beauty just three weeks after.

I hope that the people of Kumamoto to stay strong and believe in themselves.
Things will only get better as time go by.
I never forgot you
I will pray for you
Pls pray for Kumamoto.  

Love for Musical/ Play

I was never interested in musical or plays in the past
After my first musical in Korea, I felt in love with it
When I was there, although I can't understand what they are saying but their action, their move, their stage attract my attention.
Now that even I'm back in Singapore, I can't stop looking for musical or plays to watch.

I was once afraid to go and watch alone, but after I face that fear, I never have problem to watch alone anymore.
Now I feel much comfortable watching a show alone rather with other people.

Recently I watch quite a few small local production. Although it's small but it does not mean that it was done sloppy. Without big hall, without lot of people, they are still able to act out a show for 2 hrs straight, it really change my thought on local production. Hope to see more of this kind of play/ musical

But for the second half of 2016, there are some foreign production that is coming to Singapore which excite me !! For example in May/June has <<Les Miserable>> , Aug/Sept there is <<Annie>> and Sept/Oct <<Wicked>> is back in Singapore.
Although the ticket price for these musical are much more expensive than local production, but I don't think I can't miss this chance !!

Part time job

Before I found this current job, I was actually doing blog for a Korean taxi group (in English and Mandarin). I thought I will only need about a month to do it but turn it it took me full two month to get everything done and submit to my Korean boss so they will pay me. 

Is only when I'm doing then I understand that I took so long is because there is a need to modified all the picture to combine few pictures together so no need to upload so many picture and also need to add watermark on all picture. Translating and typing of the words don't really take alot of time as I'm typing in English and Mandarin. 

I still keep contact with the Korean boss, and he is thankful that I did it for him as it helped him to reach out to many more tourists and many wants to book taxi tour with him. At first I was worry that he wants me to help him to do more thing for free since he had already paid me, but he didn't, that is why I still answer his call (or else I won't answer at all!) 

Recently one of the taxi driver from this taxi group opened his own taxi group and he asked me to help him to create a blog similar to the one that I did for his ex-boss. I didn't really wanted to accept this job as I don't think I can finish it while 2 month (that time I was don't full time and it still took me 2 month, with me working full time and doing this part time, I don't think I can finish on time). But because he only knows that I know how to do and saw my work before, he wants me to help. 

Thinking of the extra money that I can earn from this, is really hard for me to say no to him. So in the end I really took the job. A week has passed since I accept the job but I have done nothing yet ! Don't know how can I finish. I can only just cut down on dramas and some sleep time to rush it out bit by bit for him. Since I choose to earn his money, I will have to get it done !! Hope can finish on time to submit to him...     

2016 first post

So fast I came back to Singapore for more than 7 month already. 

Start working in a Japanese company for 5 months now. 

Getting used to Singapore weather, food and thing bit by bit. 

Now I can say that I have get my body tune back to Singapore's weather and everything. 

However from time to time, 

I will think of the times that I have in Jeju with Sun and the other 

I will think of the times that I have in Seoul with classmate having lesson and after school. 

I miss the times that we just meet up to have dinner near our hse. 

I miss the weather, 

I miss the foods 

I miss using Korean in everyday life (although that time my Korean is really bad) 

I want to go back 

Keep thinking of going back. 

Don't care I going alone or going with other ppl. 

Although financial I'm quite tight for the time being, I think I will still go. 

Just that I have not decide if to go in Sept or Oct. 

But before that I will be going to Japan first. 

This time will be heading over for 10 days 

And will be going to places that I have not been to. 

I can't wait for it, might I should start count down for this trip.   

Korea life - day 276 (week 40) / (Seoul) Flight back to Singapore andmusical - That days

Korea life - 25 November 2014 (day 276 week 40)

Today is my last day in Seoul before I head back to Singapore for my father's 60th birthday party.
Whole morning was still busy packing my things, getting ready for the flight that night. Have too many things that I can't carry back so I can only use postage. Because I'm staying there alone, I have to make a few trips to the post office myself. Send one big box back to Singapore, send one box to Jeju where I will be there for 6 more months.

Recently I like to watch musical, I booked the tickets to the musical - That days - act by Super Junior's Kyu Hyun. Because I can't change the date and the time of the show, there is why my air ticket can only buy night flight. But one thing good about this is that the musical event hall is walking distance from my places. Actually I thought of bring my things to the event hall then take taxi straight to Seoul station, but since is very near my place, don't think there is a need for that. There should be enough time for me to go back to grab my thing.

The musical - That days - is a show based on the songs of the late Kim Gwang Seok. Using the presidential Blue House (Cheongwadae) as the setting, "The Days" is a story about Jung Hak, the leader of the presidential bodyguards, who discovers traces of his fellow bodyguard Mu Yeong and an unknown woman who both disappeared 20 years ago, as he searches for the president's daughter and her bodyguard who have similarly vanished.

Rush back home to get my things once the musical finished, luckily didn't need to wait too long to get a taxi to Seoul station. Before taking the taxi, I checked for the last rail train to airport, it wrote that the last rail train depart at 12am but when I was there, counter people saw me with so many thing, highlight to me that the the last train is departing in 5 min time !!! I was in totally shocked !! If I missed this train, I will have to spend $90 SGD on taxi to get to Incheon Airport !! Thank god that I got on that train. By the time I reach airport, there were still some time after I done my check in but most of the shops has already closed by that time so I just wait patiently to board the flight.
