Sweet Home and Melody

12 stops from Nov 2011 till Jan 2012 calender : Singapore - Jakarta - Singapore - The Philippines - Singapore - Kuala Lumpur (transit) - Korea (Seoul and the land) - Kuala Lumpur (transit) - Jakarta - Jambi - Jakarta - Singapore

It's exciting December for me. Lots of travelling, meaningful and touching experience, happy moment, but tiring...

Finished exam on Nov 16, I was busy with preparing a 'run event' for my CP, though regretfully it was cancelled due to no permission. 

Hence I decided to go back Jakarta for 2 weeks before returning to Singapore on Dec 5 for job interview and preparation for the trip to The Philippines on Dec 8. I was not going for holiday in The Philippines, but it was for my CP work. Well, at least this expense was borne by school. It started as a 'work', but when I experienced staying and living with the villagers in GK Enchanted Farm, it turned to be a meaningful trip. Only had 5 days there though and I went back to Singapore on Dec 13.

On Dec 16, I went to Korea with Christina, Wilson, and Winong. The scenery there is really beautiful, oohhh Winter Korea. Well, we had a chance to go many tourism places: Dongdaemun, Off Temple - Daegwallyeong Sheep Ranch, Seorak National Park, Bronze Buddha Sinheungsa uniform - big red fishing harbor fishing pier lighthouse, Big East China Sea catch large fish market - hot water in the world, Yongpyong ski resort (including ski snow shoes + sled), Everland - Namsan Park - Myeong-dong, seaweed Museum + hanbok - Korean souvenirs, Cheonggyecheon - Blue House - National Folk Museum - Korea Ginseng shop - Cosmetics, Insa-dong, and some other places which I didn't remember the name.

Indeed happy have a chance to travel there during winter. But, unfortunately, I got allergic with the cold weather and got sick during the trip.

From Korea, I went back to Jakarta on Dec 23 and caught up to celebrate Christmas with family. Nothing much actually, we just went to church together, ate together, spent time and chit chat together, watched drama etc. But one special thing that I was busy of during my stay at home was I was planning my parents Silver Wedding Anniversary for this upcoming Jan 11. Pretty sad that I would not be there sharing this special moment due to one and another thing in Singapore. But lazy me started the work bit late,so rush here and there and slept late for the last 4 days. I designed the invitation card, made the card for them, made a video containing their photos and our family photos as surprise, and made the guide book for the mass. 

Of course I still do my CP work at home. Even I had once skype meeting with my CP-mates and the organisation I'm working with. I still need to edit the video for my CP work also and do some proposal etc... I wanted to go back Singapore to start the CP, but I needed to go Jambi to pray for my grandpa 100days passed away. I went to Jambi on Jan 5 and back on Jan 7. It was like a reunion also, one from Singapore, two from Jakarta, others from Jambi. 

Then I went back to Singapore on Jan 8. The taxi auntie is very nice, chit chat with her...But upss, new taxi fare...

Today, I am cleaning my room...super tired. Luckily I have so many nice friends, helped me to carry lot of my luggage. 

School start soon. But I still need to 'moving and unpacking', shopping some daily stuff, went off to sign contract, went for some recruitment stuff, CP meetings and work, friend's coming this week..and I should start opening IVLE...
