Kitties!

Last weekend I had visited somewhere pretty special. I was bored and I decided to search online about something interesting places to visit. I had something in mind that time, it was the cafe where they have cats roaming around.

I knew something like that existed here in Korea, but to my surprise, they have one of those kitty cafes in my area of Bucheon! Without hesitation I went to visit that place with my trusty old camera, and took a bunch of photos of the playful kitties over there. Here are some of the best which I like!  Enjoy!

Pearly white kitty!

What did I do?

Bossy kitty who hates interaction with people

Interested on something

Can I go out?

Don't disturb my nap time!

Still cute as ever!

I want some more treats!

Having fun under the summer sun

Innocent and pure fun under the summer sun

Looking back, I was surprised since I didn’t write anything during the month of July. I’m not sure why, but for sure many things happen in the 7th month of this meaningful 2011.

First of all, was the 9th of July street rally dubbed as “Bersih”, which is the word CLEAN in the Malay language – a rally done by peaceful Malaysians asking for fair and equal election. That rally happened in the streets of Kuala Lumpur, and I believe those who follow global news would know about it. That time, I heard a small rally would be held in Seoul too. So I brought along my camera with some excitement thinking I would be able to expect some crowd in Guang Hwa Mun, the place where some Malaysians in Seoul would gather. I think I was a tad too late, well 30 minutes late and I didn’t see anyone there at all. Instead, I had a great time shooting some interesting photos in one of the must-visit tourist attraction spot in S. Korea.

Above is one of the best that I got, at least for me. I love how I was able to capture the atmosphere, the innocent laughter of this little girl playing in the water fountain in front of the King Sejong statue right in the middle of Guang Hwa Mun. It reminds me of the time when we were young, when everything was so simple, and all we want was pure and naive fun.

In the midst of busy work schedule and less interesting day-to-day life, to my surprise I was invited to a dinner session with the King and Queen of Malaysia, who came to S. Korea for a short 3-day visiting trip! Actually, I had to put up my name to the embassy, and only 100 or so Malaysians, whom were mostly students were selected for that dinner. It was one heck of an experience for me; having the chance to enjoy French cuisine in a 5-star hotel in Gwang Hwa Mun (again), and meeting, and greeting His Majesty the King and Her Majesty the Queen of Malaysia weren’t something simple words can describe.

Sunny summer days doesn’t last too long in the month of July. Heavy downpour for a whole week had made Seoul into a sea of nightmare. Landslides, people killed and missing, houses destroyed and sunken cars littered the city streets. It was horrible, and there’s yet reports of more rainfall beginning next week.

Well, one thing good for me is, my holiday officially starts today, and I will be going back to my dear hometown on this Sunday for a short one week vacation! How should I spend the next 7 days? I hope I can make them as meaningful as ever!

Life is full with so much ups and downs that to be honest, I do not know what to expect next.

I wish I can find back the way to enjoy “fun”, just like that kid…

Last one before spring cleaning

Walking through

It’s the time of the year again! And I mean the annual cleaning of my pc….

Well, I skipped doing this tedious process for the last 2 years, and my precious laptop is really really slow right now.

So right before I clean this up with a full clean format, I will like to do one more post.

I actually took this photo quite some time ago. Just want to share it out right now.

And here’s another interesting one. Enjoy your day!

Peculiar...

I can’t see clearly even though it’s clear…

It's clear

Many things had happened since the last few hours…

My crush had left the company…

Another long time crush suddenly messaged me on Facebook chat.

An old friend will be visiting Seoul.

And yet, I’m still here, standing still doing nothing.

Am I doing everything accordingly? Am I going to get lucky?

Someone told me, I cannot consider myself lucky, but instead being fortunate….

and now I know the difference. Do you know the difference?

I wish to be fortunate once again. Wish me luck!

When you don’t know where to go

Aimless and chained

Have you ever felt like you are wondering around, without knowing the real purpose of existing and what you really wanted the most?

This reminds me the life of being a pet. The sole existance of the pet dog for instance, is to follow its master everywhere they go, and listen to their commands. What if when the master suddenly stops giving orders, chained it, and leave the dog somewhere by itself? How would the dog feel? Who would you feel when you are in that situation?

Suddenly you lose aim of what you are trying so hard to achieve for, the feeling of anxiety, fear; looking for something or someone that we can count on, but couldn’t find them anywhere.

All the dog can do is, whine and howl, wishing its master will return.

What will you do?

Spring is here, and I see the lesser me out there

The feeling of being alive!

Spring is here~ Another year has passed…

Spring is the season of life, where everything comes back to life from the cold harsh winter. Life never seems to lose against the winter, but I myself is slipping away day by day, even when spring is here…

I decided to took some time last Saturday to visit a park near by my area to take some photos of the blooming cherry blossoms. But to my dismay, most of the flowers were still budding, so it wasn’t the full glorious moment that I longed for.

Looking back at all the photos taken, I see the lesser self in me. After some post processing, it seems that I had portrayed myself as one who longed for hope, showing the pessimist inside of me.

The photo of blooming cherry blossoms was the only consolation that I got. Suddenly I feel, maybe patience could bring me somewhere I wanted to go.

Never give up

Time is priceless, unless you have given up everything. But it could feel forever when you are waiting for something or someone. Can time make up for what we missed?

Beating the odds and shine as bright as gold

Someday, we will find what we want. Someday.

Seoul Motor Show 2011 – The babes

The 2011 Seoul Motor Show opened last Friday and it is still on until the end of this week. I decided to visit the show last week, and man I can tell you, there were more people than ever.

I didn’t have much time in the show myself, and having only budget lenses compare to those who brought their white long lenses and shooting on stools, my photos seemed so unprofessional.

Anyways, out of more than 600 photos, these are those which I really like, and would like to share over here. Take a look and comment please!

 

 

Make a wish~

Make a wish, in a totally different way

Stack it up, make a wish…

Who knows, it might come true without you even knowing?

Just wishing…

Oh, 2011 is here…

Loniest cake ever

Wow, 2010 just came and went. I don’t feel anything for the coming of year 2011. Just another day, just another year, it comes and goes…

I have been cold to my blog recently. I don’t know why. Maybe could be that I have nothing interesting to share, or maybe just plain not in the mood to share anything at all.

Anyways, winter is my least liked season of all, because it instills me the feeling of loneliness and homesickness in the freezing cold weather, especially during festive seasons like Christmas and new year’s day. I’m kinda sick of the hoohas about all these celebrations and stuffs…

I have to admit, I’m lonely here. I guess I’m a sucker for companionship and all. Look at that cake. Would it be sad if I tell you that I bought that cake by myself for myself in Christmas day? What a wuss I am you would say… Well luckily it wasn’t.

Maybe something small and simple should be appreciated more than we should.

Or maybe I can make a choice and try to change the situation right now?

This calls for a new year’s resolution!!!! Lemme think about it and get back here as soon as possible, kay?

Happy New Year Everyone!

And by the way, yes, that’s a jumping corgi with the phrase “If you BELIEVE, You will SUCCEED” wallpaper on my laptop. 😀

I have my own problems.

 

Tired

I always begin my day with a laugh.

If you ever met me, you would wonder where I get my “excessive happiness” from. Yes, I was commented by people before about me being too happy.Well, all you selfish pessimists out there, don’t even try to cross my line ever.

Always facing life with a smile doesn’t mean that I do not have any of my own problems. You never see me when I am down, you never know what I am thinking or hiding despite my smile. I too have my deep troubles.

Sometimes, I feel really tired. Seems like reality has really come down on me. My contagious laughter is less by the day.

Stop bothering me with all your petty problems. I have my own to deal with. Plenty of them.

I am tired. I need some rest.
