Here i am sitting cross legged, korean style in a korean styled hotel room ..replying to work mail whilst listening to the likes of Big Bang. It can’t get anymore Korean than that. Wait. actually. it can.. but i refuse to call room service for a bowl of cold stoned rice.

ive succumbed to the world of K-pop. It’s the only way to learn the language, FAST.

anyway, this little fella made my day today.

I saw him walk past me once. and i thought, eh what was is this boy wearing on his head? Whilst waiting for our driver i saw him again and i stopped him for a photo .. and he was more than happy to pose 🙂

bah eh back to work. krg kana ucap nda kraja. kana ucap kraja ku disini ani blogging saja.

biasa..manusia kan? inda lari dari annoying. annoying ha-seyo!

kiss me.

so i’ve decided to post again for the second time today. facetimed with the family and mom told me that she read my blog today and asked me to keep it updated. i’m such a good daughter.

walked to the minimart nearby to get a few bottles of Mul. that’s water in Korean for you (but don’t bother saying it to the girls at the cafe downstairs. they seem proud to be able to pronounce ‘Evian’ the french way. Everytime i ask for Mul, their reply would be.. “Eviang?” and a loud round of APPLAUSE would immediately follow – IN MY HEAD. ) At the minimart, i came across a variety of chewing gum. They had the normal bottled ones but what caught my attention were these Lotte chewing gum (it’s amazing how Lotte started making chewing gum and now runs the whole of Korea) that offered 2 different flavours in 1.

Mcm kacamata atu jua ah? those glasses that would turn dark when you’re out in the sun and back to clear when you’re in the shade? awu bah cinggam ala ala kacamata VVVVIP.

Anyway, They had orange flavored ones that CHANGES to Mint and Mint flavoured ones that changes to GRAPE.. the third one that i saw was labeled ‘Mystery’. Being the curious cat the i am, i chose Mystery only to be dissapointed that it tasted like STRAWBERRY.. the WHOLE TIME. I was chewing on it for a good two hours before accepting the fact that they weren’t going to change flavour.

kirakan mcm SURPRISE, kau kana tipu oleh chinggam.

banar kan? i think i AM in Pyong Yang.

:S

kiss me.

I haven’t been much of a blogger these days.

I’m also currently not in the country. Will be a way for most of April,May, June, July and inshallah returning home just in time for the Eid Celebrations. lol. “Eid Celebrations”. who am i kidding? Raya lah! hahaha. hahaha. hahahaha.

Whatever it is, this mini posting i’ve been given..i can’t be more grateful for it. It’s not like i have a choice BUT to be GRATEFUL.

but in anycase, it’s nice to get out of the office and work in the comfort of a hotel for a while. the hotel isn’t much of course. it’s very basic but then again, this isn’t Seoul. I’m located South, of South Korea. The views are scenic, the weather is Spring, but the work is the STORY of Pyong Yang.

Great challenges are coming my way, and it’s fast approaching too. I can only pray to god that i come out of this alive:- stronger and wiser than i was before. inshallah. amin.

i miss food by the way. it seems like Yeosu doesn’t have much to offer apart from the Prawn or Squid burgers from Lotteria. a Korean equivalent to Mcdonalds. Sort of like a Grade “A” version of a Mcdonalds, and they do it very well too!!

There’s also only one Mcdonalds here and Fillet o Fish isn’t on the menu. I’m guessing one needs to catch their fish themselves and bring it to Mcdonalds. Other food items are a hassle to order. People here don’t speak much english, let alone have menus written in the common language. The english friendly restaurants like the one in the hotel however, specializes in BLOW FISH (FML). I’ll leave it for when i’m feeling a little bit more suicidal.

I can’t believe it’s only Tuesday :S Maybe this is a good reason for me to have Blowfish for lunch? lol. they don’t call it suicide tuesdays for nothing. haha.

but hey, it’s SPRING time. We flew in just as the Cherry Blossoms were blooming. Unfortunately, we nly managed to enjoy them for FOUR days before the rain came and blew them away. Initially i thought they’d be around for the whole of spring, turns out they only bloom for a few weeks in a year :S haha but i was lucky enough to see it.

time to go to work. *pasang baju asgai*

kiss me.
