I hate stingy people

Enough said.

First dinner in our home

S will be making dinner tonight for the first time in our home, after two months of moving in. His family will be over too. I'm now thinking whether I should go swimming or stay around to see S cook and pack up the place a bit. And, my laundry's still in the dryer. Hmmm...

My hobbies

I don't know about you but my hobbies don't seem to last - the healthy hobbies I mean. One example, blogging. I've been totally out for quite some time. What else. Badminton - I remember I bought a new racket last two years but only played for a few months. Jogging - bought a new pair of running shoes and jogged for six months to look fit before the wedding, yes before the wedding. Kite flying - if you read my old post there's a short one on it, I no longer fly because S lost my m&m mouse kite. Tennis - I used to play a bit during uni days. And now, swimming - I've been swimming almost everyday and even in the rain and even in the cold. That too, I have a pretty new swimsuit. I need new things to keep my interest on something. How about you? Do you need new gadgets to keep your passion alive?

My hobby at home is boiling water. I do it a few times ago. I love my kettle. My mom got it for me from Courts. It was a display set. You have no idea how many times I kept on going back to the shop to see if new stocks came and everytime I'm there I seem to miss the stock reload. Initially, I wanted a white one but the display ones had scratches but this baby blue one looked new. The salesman was pestering us to get the extended warranty for a couple of ten bucks but I think I didn't need it. If it spoils, I get to buy a new one - a white one =D.

My other hobby is drinking tea - my favourite is green, jasmine and oo long tea. Saturday, I had breakfast with dad. Not many places serves green tea with a side dish. Black Canyon Coffee serves it with mini alphabet biscuits.

Oo long tea during dinner at Ying Ker Lou hakka restaurant in the curve. Interesting pot. Too interesting I forgot to pour tea for the photo.

Ahh, finally my most addicted hobby - playing computer games. Excuse me, I'm going to play a game of Dota.

Red packet

This CNY, it is our first time giving out 'ang pao' packets. Believe me or not, we collected more than what we gave out =D *grin*

Over the new year, S and I spent our honeymoon in South Korea. This is our first trip together - just the two of us. To me, all airports look the same. They're a place for planes to land and take off.Walking pass the immigration we looked at this...

...to see where our baggage were which we really didn't need to. You see we followed a tour group and we just had to follow the guide. Our first destination, the shooting place of Jewel in The Palace.

The place didn't look as big as the show portrayed. But it felt nice to step into a place you've seen from afar - the TV set. Moving on, our first meal.

Nice hot meal. Chicken, cabbage, cabbage and more cabbage with seaweed soup. Next stop, Nami Island - made famous be Winter Sonata.

Dinner. Grilled squid. I can't remember a time when I ate as much squid in a meal.

The next day was the highlight of our trip. Skiing! Can you see the hill-track on the far left and right of the photo? It's for expert on the left and beginner on the right. We managed to try the beginner one illegally but it was an honest offence. You can ask me when you see me.

We took the cable car up the track. It was piercing cold. My whole being was feeling numbed to the core.

On the third day, we went to Everland. Our very own Genting is no where near this place.

This lion in Everland Safari survive the cold much better than me.

Ginseng chicken for dinner.

Next morning, we visited the 'Blue House' supposedly meant to be the White House of Korea.

Gyeongbokgung Palace. The only reason I remember this place is because i managed to find the entrance ticket still in my handbag.

As every tourism would promote, the museum.



Next stop, the kimchi-making shop. Made by me.

Made by S. He claims his is better-looking.

Not a very appetizing lunch.

We didn't manage to attend a church service. Did I tell you one of our reasons to visit Korea was to step into the church with 150,000 members so I heard. Well at least we took a picture of one in the city. From inside the bus.

Well, that's about it. So will you be going to Korea anytime soon?

A big thank you to all who made this day happened. We are truly grateful.

I'm back from the big day and honeymoon!

Nothing feels better than to be home and back to my usual schedule - sleep, eat, work, tv etc. I do apologize for the blog hiatus. I will update soon - this week. I promise.
