Crashing Seoul.........

I was on another business trip to Seoul.......the order came in pretty late as usual....so I'll have to juggle with last minute homework, house chores, work loads etc.......being a last minute trip, I do not have the luxury to plan for some walkabout in the city this time around......I'll have no other option but to take the first flight home after departing on a red eye flight earlier.........



* It's like living in your refrigerator....imagine putting one hand in your pocket and holding your cigarrete on the other...once you're done puffing, your hand will be completely NUMB.......ohhh man.....love the place hate the weather.....




* Of the many hotels I've been to, this was by far awkward with the room key....it's actually a REAL key.....can't put them in my wallet.....





* That ark is actually the hotel entrance......hahaha it looks like a temple on a hill......

* The purpose of my trip.........

* I'm not a big fan of kimchi......never fancy them.....but the bbq meat.....nyum nyummmm......

* My host that day......Matthew......He was kind enough to bring me around town after work rather than having me entertaining the older crowd.....

* My first screen golf experience....hahaha the score was pretty embarrassing...but the digital distance, hahaha impressive......

* Same ol Same ol GangNam.......

* Got up early the next morning, cam-whored and ready for the boring day ahead......10 hours of agonizing meeting......

* Korean wine and beer is a MUST on every dinner......I drank so much the night before, I swear was peeing beer the following day...hahaha

* Am I the youngest or what??? No kidding, I'm the youngest.....hahaha....I'm not having any white hair or hair lost.....that makes me young.......seriously....

* After a couple of shots on wine and beer, the next thing you know.....your president and the American VP is cam-whoring with the waitress.....hahahaha....being a global meeting, you'll meet more Americans than Koreans there......

* Just to make sure my mind was sober and I'm not imaginating stuff, I'm certain they put ice on the urinating bowl there.......I'll most probably be crushed by emails coming Monday.....and tight dateline for my thesis submission......need to focus and get things done once and for all......Have a great work week peps.........see you guys in Ipoh coming weekend for Bobby's wedding.....YAHHHOOOOOOO

JD's Maiden Ferry Ride.............

Sometimes, I pity my lil boy.....he has no one to play with at home....well except for me. He'll do anything to catch my attention........let's hope he'll get him companion when his kid brother is out next month.......hehehe



* The lil mischievous fella in the house........




* He loves to mock me.....from morning to night.....I'll have to learn to cut my indecent languages....You know what I mean.....




* This is one main reasons for lack of blogging......JD just couldn't get enough of his Daddy.....





* He'll learn to play with anything..........





* Even having a go at his mobile phone.............

* Since I was available during weekend, we've decided to took this lil fella for the ferry ride.......the iconic Penang Ferry..........

* JD was so excited that day he kept on yelling boat boat boat~~~ hahahaha

* Look at the broad smile from this boy..........priceless....

* I was showing him the direction of our home.....I don't think he has any clue what was I bla-bling about......enjoying the sea breeze while his Daddy was making all the noises.......

* The iconic ferry services in Penang.....I'm pretty sure the 2nd link would somehow kill this business......

* A moment of bliss.....PW doesn't like to be in the picture lately because she said she looks pretty baloon-ed lately...even taking it as an excuse to avoid wedding invites...hehehehe.....guess she'll be our official camera crew for a couple of weeks more.....

* We had our light lunch at Gurney Plaza.........walked around the mall for a while and called it a day......

* Ahhhh before that.......the UEFA Champs League trophy was on display in the mall that day....since photo taking is free, you guys could've guess what did I do....hehehe I LINED UP.....

* My camera crew needs more practice....hehehe luckily they gave me a better version in polaroid..........

* And with that, I would conclude my short family outing during the weekend......minus all the cleaning, mopping and my thesis......let's just remember the fun part.......gonna be a pretty busy week ahead......have a blast people..........

My Lil Jaydeno.........

I would like to share my lil boy's passion......he seems to love football....alot.....by saying that I mean he'd wait for me to come home (if I need to work late), holding to his football and wait anxiously for our daily kick around.....

Despite all the gadgets and toys we bought him, he just couldn't get enough of his football.....and I wonder why? hehehe



* Mini ManU ball I bought years ago........It is now JD's property..........








* I have to do this almost every single night........less than 2 months to go before his lil brother is out.....and with that, I've presented to you, My Lil Jaydeno.........hahaha

My First Year in Samsung............

I would love to share some lights on my first year in Samsung.......with the ups and downs in 2010, I managed to make it through my virgin year without getting myself fired.....hehehe

It was a personally decision jumping ship even when I loved my previous job.....I need to spend more time with my family....a decision I did not regret....hehehe



* My family.....one more in PW's tummy....coming out real soon....JD took my bike away.....the 2nd baby took the last hope of having a bike again.......huhuhuhu




* Had my first Bird-Day celebration in the office........hehehe




* Been to Seoul...............




* Been to Spore.........my virgin trip to the kiasu-land that time seriously...and damn Fatty Lock for his photo taking skill......use DSLR also can become like that.....kinda reminds me of GohPek back in Jakarta....hahahaha




* Been to Shanghai........best trip of the year....since I have a local guide living behind my hotel....hehehe......

* Another thing about the Samsung folks........they love taking pictures.......

* Being in a sales office, you could expect more ladies than guys...hehehehehe....

* And they love to EAT too....I lost track on the foodie pics after a couple of weeks........

* Out door activities are monthly events...............

* They even gave out shirts just to suit the occassion.........and the best of all........

* They're addicted to FOOTBALL.......hehehehe I realised I'm not that young and agile anymore.........

* Outdoor.........

* Or even indoor.......I've never played so much football in my life since hmmmmm 10-15 years ago??? hehehe.......

* End the year with yet another dinner........and that concludes my first year in Samsung........let's do a review next year......and hope my performance review is as good as my post...ngek ngek ngek.....enjoy the last bit of the CNY people...and have a great week ahead......

Gong Xi Fatt Chai.................

Chinese New Year has always been the main event of the year....of course apart from your yearly bonus announcement......my pay out has been pretty decent this year....at least enough for me to survive this festive season with a lil money to spare.......

Let me run through quickly on what I had been up to for the last couple of days........



* JD getting ready for bed on New Year's eve.....the saying goes that the longer you stay awake, the better longevity your parents get.....so just imagine what time JD had to stay up till...hehehehe 130AM...hahahaha next year he'll try to break the 2AM bench mark.....




* Father and son got up feeling slightly stoned from the late night the day before..........well, at least I'll live pretty long if the saying were true.....hehehe




* We went to Grandma's place at Balik Pulau....check out the Kampung house behind us....this will be our last year celebrating there as Grandma will be moving out soon....next year, we will not have the chance to lay back in the country side anymore....no more coconut trees, no more chickens running around, no more hiding behind bushes to gamble every New Year.......huhuhu we'll surely miss this great place....I've been there ever since I was a kid......




* JD seems to love lion dance....I think.......at least he's not crying yo....hehehe




* Everyone gathered for the final family photo in Balik Pulau..........a place we shall all remember for the rest of our lives........

* We rushed home @ Ipoh early the next day......We went over to PW's house for reunion dinner and got home in the evening and wait for yet another main event......Wii......opss I meant to say Lion Dance.....hehehe

* Everyone loves our yearly Lion Dance back at home......I've been scouting for the best and at last I found the best troupe several years ago and we've been sticking to the same one ever since.....the best I've ever since......real pro no kidding...hehehe

* 3rd day has been as eventful too.....got up at 6am just to get trashed by my cousin aka BroTM on the golf course......game ended at 130PM and yes I was fried by the sun that day....hehehe......I'm pretty sure I'll get to his level soon.....I hope....hehehe

* CNY is never complete without the annual 'Lou Sang'......this year, Mama made the dishes....edible I would say....hehehe.....we missed out on our yearly family photo this year due to everyone's tight schedule....but we'll be meeting up next month by the beach...hehehe we'll get one there....better view...hehehe.....got to run now......more to come pretty soon I hope.......Have a bounciful rabbit year people.........HUAT ARRRRRRRRRRRR
