2009 to 2010 thoughts

It's been sometime since i blog. Blame it on facebook bejeweled and my laziness. 2009 past very fast with new work on hand to pick up. My new role required shift work sometime on wee hrs, so facebook become my channel for relaxation. I forgot my priorities and new year resolution...when 2010 came, it seem to give me a chance again, i like the new year :)

Last time, i told myself facebook is for my frns i like to hv only. However, with the expand of networks, when yr boss add u in, think politically i cldn't reject. So, i hv to watch wat i said at times now. Luckily, for now my blog remains private to my really close grp of frns n colleagues only, where i cld share my thoughts and photos. I wld not update as frequent, as cos of work, family, frns and other nice things i can spend my time on and i do not wan to work for the blog :)

This year i have to be a more discipline person and not to spend my times on facebook games. Jia you!

Korea Tour ~ 09 to 16 May

Back from korea trip yesterday. Is a 8 days trip to seoul and Jeju island, with my parents, bro, anne and her mum. initiatelly expected the trip to be boring cos expect to visit the drama location most of the time. However, surprising it turns out to be quite fun. The trip itnerary is changed accordingly with the initative of our pretty tour guide as the weather changes. I have a few "first time" in this trip, e.g. visit the open zoo which the bear and lion are just beside our bus, submarine ride and horse riding by myself...ha scare by fun! And weather at Jeju island is really cool and the trip there is fully filled with fun, like it :) Oh, the stay in JW Marriot hotel in Seoul is highly recommended ~ 6 stars, bedroom and restroom is super big..hmm restroom is almost the size of my own smaller bedroom.
