Great Pyrenees

I AM SO IN LOVE WITH THIS DOG!!!


During my trip to Korea,saw this HUGE dog when we stopped at a restaurant for breakfast.From far,it already looks big so you can imagine when we got near.The biggest dog i have seen is a St. Bernard and this is way bigger than that.For a dog that size,one would think that it will be inactive and slow but it turned out the total opposite.It started getting excited when we went nearer and running around its enclosure.

I wish to have one as my pet in the future.Unfortunately,it is not available in Malaysia.Guess i will have to import it which also means more $$$ is needed.Got to save up for this =)

New relationship


Don’t be afraid of a New Relationship

Liken it to boarding a new Ship

Exciting, new things to enjoy and explore

Two walking together through a new open door.


Don’t shy away from a New Relationship

The pain of the past needn’t make you quit

In life, sometimes we get it wrong

At other times, we find a bond so strong.


Don’t run away from a New Relationship

Hold on tight, don’t lose a grip

Let go of the past and move on

Bask in the presence of your new Loved one.


Don’t give up on a New Relationship

Invest, time, love and Romance in it

So you did it before, your partner didn’t care?

This is a New one, don’t be biased, be fair.


I was once afraid of a New Relationship

Couldn’t get myself to relax one bit

Waiting for something to go wrong any minute

And then I could justify leaving it.


So, I plead, stay in your New Relationship

Give it a chance to bloom, don’t quit

Love, trust and support your Other Half

Step by step, may life lead you to Love’s blissful path.


I was surfing the net and found this in HubPages.Thought that it is something nice to share with everyone.But i think this is especially meaning to those who are uncertain and afraid of starting a new relationship after having to go through some rough ones in the past.

Realised

To Korea

Just came back from Korea.We were suppose to go Shanghai for the Expo but ended up going to Korea instead.I am so exhausted but it was nice to experience what life is like there.

It was a 6 days 5nights tour,Wednesday until Monday.There were 24 of us consisting of 6 families.We departed by bus to Penang International Airport and then by Cathay Pacific Airlines to Hong Kong and finally Incheon.The total flight duration was approximately 6 hours.Weather in Korea was not as cold as i thought it would be and it was raining for almost 4 days.Luckily on the day where we were suppose to shop on the market,it was sunny for awhile.

Food in Korea is just okay.They are more towards the healthy eating lifestyle.Most of the food are prepared naturally,without much seasoning.We had steamboat,barbecue,something like fried 'kueh-kak' (for me,that was horrible,i didn't like the taste of the chilli paste) and Chinese food on the last night.The food that i enjoyed the most was the Korean BBQ.That was really nice cos it was the first time i ate so much meat and didn't feel 'geli'.The famous kimchi...only had it on the first two days though it was served at every meal for five days.After the second day,my tummy can no longer tolerate it.So,you can guess what was the first thing we did after reaching Malaysia...straight to have CURRY MEE.

Hotels in Korea have doors opening..(in or out)..um..the opposite from Malaysia.Instead of pushing the door open after unlocking it,we had to pull it.So,have to be careful when walking along the corridors.There is only one hotel which i enjoyed staying the most.That is the Daemyung Resort.We got to experience what we usually see in the Korean dramas.There was no bed,only mattress and the pillow is rectangular and hard.It was fun but uncomfortable.Because the tour booked the suite,we had a kitchen equipped with stove,pots and pans,plate,bowl and cups and a living room in the room.We cooked Malaysian instant noodles,drank Milo,ate snacks and the older adults drank beer bought from a store at the hotel.Had a great time that night.

Tour guide told us that people in Korea buy cars usually in only three colours.Either black,grey or white.They were basic colours and i felt that in Malaysia we have quite a lot of cars with those colours too.One night,when we were crawling in a jam,i started realising that,yes in Malaysia there are many,but in Korea almost ALL the cars are those colours.I can say the majority is around 90%.I tried to spot for cars with other colours and it was after some time that i saw a red car.It is amazing but boring at the same time to pass by cars after cars looking the same as the other.


I am too lazy to describe the places that we visited so shall just list them.

  • National Folklore Museum
  • Gyeongbokgung Palace
  • Nami Island
  • Lavender Garden or Herb Nara
  • Mt. Seorak National Park
  • Wawoo Jongsa Temple
  • Yeoju Premium Outlet
  • Everland
  • Korea Ginseng Monopoly Showroom
  • Myongdong and Namdeamum market
  • Cheongwadae Sarangchae Exhibition Museum
  • Kwun Kun Seong Fortress
  • Shinheungsa Temple
  • Unity of Large Buddha
Korea is so famous for its kimchi that we were brought to the place where they made it and got first hand experience on how to do it ourselves.Everything was prepared for us,we just had to spread the chilli paste.After that,we got to take photos in the tradition Korean costumes.Not everyone did that,only a few of us.Everyone said granny looked the nicest,cutest and the most similar to a Korean than all of us.

Heard of the Nanta Show?It is a musical show using knives and other kitchen utensils.We were late 10 minutes for the show but we still had a great time and good laugh.
The synopsis
An excellent cook,but the unmanly HEAD CHEF,a very sexy,masculine SEXY GUY,and the powerful,sassy,only woman cook,HOT SAUCE!The three attractive,characteristic chefs start their day.Washing vegetable,carrying meat loafs and setting fire,cooks at NANTA kitchen is about to begin their busy job as always,then the ill-natured manager orders them to prepare 10 wedding ceremony menus,along with his little nephew in just an hour.Suddenly the kitchen is thrown into turmoil and the cooks become wild as they chop,beat and stir in an attempt to meet the deadline.The wedding ceremony is at 6 o'clock and it is at hand!Will the NANTA cooks complete the preparation on time?
A brief entry about my Korea trip.Photos...i took around 400 photos but will have to filter through before i can upload them.Will try to do it after i am back from Langkawi.

Pro moves

Dance is getting really interesting and addictive.Though i am tired every week by the traveling,i still make myself drive to the dance studio which is quite far,around 15minutes (far for people like me who lives in a small town).I don't need anything to make me want to go,i just love going.

Last week,i learned something new.The sir decided to teach me how to move a little more like the pro now.No longer the beginner's robotic moves.Beginners use to move according to beat,but for a pro,they still follow the beat,just with an addition of impact and speed on certain steps.At the lower level,every step has the same speed and strength whereas at a higher level,the dancer moves more like a rubber band,there is the push,then sudden release and pull.

It is really interesting to try out the new technique but definitely difficult to get it right.The speed is also a new aspect to me.It has always been slow and steady,perfecting each step before moving on to the next.Now,i have to do that all in a split second and the most importantly,still maintain my balance on that 2.5inches heels.

I don't know why people always think that dancing is the opposite of sports.

Sports = Tough
Dance = 'Soft'
But the truth is,dancing requires as much energy and stamina as
sports.Speed,precision,strength,balance and flexibility all at once.It is no wonder that dancing competition is now called as dancesport.Therefore,i think those people who keep having this perception that dancing is 'girlie' should reconsider their statement.
(I just suddenly feel like writing this though it is a little 'out' of what i am blogging about)

Think that's all for now about dance.

Missing you

Missing someone gets easier every day because even though it's one day further from the last time you saw each other, it's one day closer to the next time you will.

A bit of everything

I have been so lazy to blog the past few weeks.Not that there is nothing to but i was just pure lazy and my brain didn't feel like putting everything into words.I did try to write a few times but ended up with me staring at my lappy screen.

So,this post is gonna be a 'rojak'...a bit of everything that has happened.

For this semester,i am still studying in Penang at the same college.The only difference is that my sis is not going there with me.She has decided to try self-studying so i now travel alone.Luckily i am only attending classes for one subject so there is only two days of classes.Lectures are this stage are really stressful.Firstly,i am SO TIRED from waking up early and driving to class.What used to be 15minutes to class is not 2hours to class.Secondly,the lecturer is like a bullet train,no time for me to think for answers,just writing and writing and writing.Besides that,my coursemates are all so smart and hardworking.I feel so 'dong dong'.In addition to that,this is a continuous paper which i took a year ago from another college,so you can imagine how rusty i am plus the adaption i need to make.All those really makes going to lecture a nightmare these days.

I had a quiet birthday this year.Though it was just a simple one,but definitely it was as memorable as the ones before.I had some friends over from KL to spend it with me which was quite fun.I brought them to Lunas,Kulim to experience 'kampung' lifestyle.We visited a few temples and tasted the supposedly famous roast duck.The trip ended with dinner at Kuala Kedah together my family.

Dance dance is still as usual.I think i have improved a little bit but still not as good as i hoped to be.Got to practice harder,not miss class too much and try to remember what i have learned every week.I wish there will be no more obstacles preventing me from continuing the classes.

I have been spending so much time with my friends.But unfortunately,they have to either go back to study or start work soon.Going to miss them so much.

I am still mixing around,getting to know more people.No harm in knowing more and i don't think there is a limit to the number of friends one can have.So,decisions will only be made when i am ready and certain.

I am trying to gain some weight now.Mummy and some friends have been complaining that i am too thin and my coursemate said i am anorexic.I am thin but i am certainly not anorexic.Reason why i lost weight was because my meal time was too screwed up during exam period and that caused me to skip meals.I didn't bother to change it thinking that i look alright being this thin.Only when i was out shopping for clothes did i realise that it is a problem.So,i am currently adjusting my sleep time,no more late nights and late mornings (trying to reduce my eyebags too).Also,my meal portions have increased and i eat more frequently too.My target is to achieve 50kg...

That's all i can think of for now.Got to go and get some stuff done and wait for my twin to call me to go out.Enjoy tonight and start studying tomorrow... (Hopefully la...)
