Here I am, in another city, this time back to Seoul, GrandHyatt hotel, for one nite, two days business trip. Okay, not going to sound negative or complaining, cause there is no meaning in doing such, too much is going to be too boring, right.
Today, while I was at the airport, I saw a girl with his bf.
Yellow skirt, black leotard, dark pink blouse (like those worn by English ladies, you can imagine that) with black ribbon, light purple boots, red pink jacket and crimson red handbag with flowery details, and I guess the girl is less than 20 years old. What do we call that? A insult to fashion, or abuse of money or having tasteless dressing bud.... or fermented fashion sense. Not sure, but you can guess where the girl is from, anyway, I do not want to mention citizenship cause it can be sensitive and I have readers who might feel offended. But then again, that is really bad taste, imagine how Cindy Lauper, when she was in this music video, Girl Just want to have fun (minus the cosmetics). I sms my friend, Bengkooi, and he asked me, whether that girl is having any concert? Concert..............., nah, singing in 'Kor tai' may be, hihi. Sorry, no insult intended, but that itself is an insult to the designers.......... and fashion lovers....... Niamah. Sakit hati aku, sakit lagi mata aku memandang. Perhaps I have to open an image consultant shop, haha:)

Chinese New Year Coming Soon
Now is getting late, and I have been thinking about this topic for sometime. When dad was around, it has always been exciting in preparing for CNY and going home, buying things. There is the saying goes, home is where the heart is....
This year, the coming one, I think the feeling is slightly different. going home has a different meaning this time around. Perhaps when dad is not around, then the home is different, and perhaps the atmosphere is very different now.
Going home now is to offer respect and prayers for my late dad,
Going home now is to visit relatives, uncles, aunts, cousins
Going home now is to meet my sis, seeing my nieces and nephews
And home in future can be anywhere, where the heart is..........I do not know for now.
Happy Chinese New Year too all, in advance, when everyone is in the mood preparing for this festive season...............

In Tokyo Now
Arrived to Tokyo today. At the airport, I just realised that they used both Bahasa Malaysia and Indonesia, except in this manner.
For us, Selamat Datang Ke Tokyo
For Indonesian, Selamat Datang Di Tokyo.
Who is right in using this language, ya bu, ya bak. Siapa bilang yang mana betul, ya, pak!
And then, in the airport, today, there were, simply, a lot of Chinese nationalities visiting, like the chinese saying goes, 人山人海. I think there are too many rich chinese going all over the places, and I think Malaysia is not a preferred destination, and instead S'pore is, based on my conversation with the locals here. Ever wonder why? Korea and Japan are also well preferred places for them. That is where the money is, dang.
Back to the trip to Tokyo, I was walking, and jogging for one hour today, circling the whole imperial palace for the first time, cool, a non-Japanese doing that, in the middle on winter, I think it is cool. And in my retirement age, when i look back, I will giggle, thinking of this. The fun is hard to describe here. hahahahahahahahahahhaa........................
Then, after that, of course you get hungry, right and for the first time, I went to the restaurant myself, I mean I order the food, the drinks, a real restaurant meal on my own, without anyone's help. cool isnt it? The restaurant name is Metre- stands for Meettalkrest, got it.
Then, before I came back to the hotel room, I walked around, was wondering whether to take my favorite mua chi with green tea ice cream. But after walking for sometime, decided to try the greentealatte, or macha tea latte, the right term here, and it tasted superb. Price is also superb lah, for the smallest one, JY390. For this price, we can have the regular size in Malaysia or China, but then the tea I guess is different, Here, the tea is macha, and not the normal green tea and it smell good lah, for sure.
And then I bought piece of nice cake, from Daimaru just before it closes, to eat together with my macha latte, apa macam, bagus tak?
That's all for now, until I write again.

A bit of comment,
I am now in Shanghai. Last nite, sleep was bad, but anyhow, as I told my friend in KL, Jenna, that my engine seems to be not working that well, or the other way round, adapting so well, that I do not feel any jetlag or time difference anymore.
Was in Germany for 8 days, and slept less than a few hours per day, and when I was almost adapted to the time zone, I did not get the chance to sleep enough, cause of some flight delays (it was very foggy in Italy, and hence flight delay, for a few hours....). Then, a good sleep in the plane, coming back to Beijing, rush to Chengdu the next day, back to Beijing on Friday. And now, Monday, in Shanghai, tomorrow morning, fly to Tokyo, back to Beijing on Thursday.
Then coming Sunday, I will be in Seoul, and fly back on Monday evening for a meeting.
I hope to have a good rest during CNY, really hope so.......and visiting my sister in KL for a few days before going to BKK for my good massage and fixing all the 'screws, parts etc etc' to fix them in place:), in other words, a bit of servicing and maintenance.
OK for now, hope to take a rest tonite. Last nite was a bad sleep, because a new colleague which I had a hope of helping him to become a good sales personnel and a person that I have selected for the sales position and spent time to train, finally gave up out of a sudden. And this is something I do not like, and not happy about. How come the decision to go for study, can be a last minute decision, and the explanation mentioned cannot match the reason given earlier. Anyway, I was upset, but forget about it. Nowadays, I do not really trust what people tell during the interview anymore, no matter how much they try to. I am losing that aspect slowly, which makes me worried about my human traits aspect.... I am becoming another form of human being sometime. ANd I borrow the word from Patrick's blogsite, Niamah eeehhhhhhh!............, just fxxk-up.

A Japanese Garden In Leverkusen, Germany
Have the chance to visit 'Bayer city' in Leverkusen. Though a bit boring place, nevertheless, very impressive and green city.Bayer name is everywhere in the city, and I stayed in a very old, traditional hotel called the casino, what a name.
And there is a Japanese garden in the big park next to Casino hotel, which is quite beautiful too.
That's all to share for now.

Frankfurt-Revisited
12-13 years ago, first visited Frankfurt with BM Teoh, and now coming back for another time, I almost cannot recognise places I had been too, except the Zentrum, the central bus and train stations. But do not have much time here too, it is after we finished with appointment, and while a colleague has another 1 hour meeting, I quickly finished my meal, and brought my camera with me, and some photos here. Please take note that, within less than 1 hour, I manage to grab a butter container, a stainless steel and made in Germany, and almost bought one H&M shirt, but that was the time the phone call arrived and had to leave, just like in a movie, you could not believe that. How you wish you have another 2 more minutes, so that you can pay for that shirt, and quickly leave. But no, you simply can't and that's life..... Accept and let go.

Germany-Cologne-Dome
Nice Dome, in Cologne, opposite Hyatt hotel. Pity that I arrived late, and no time to explore more. Only walk around a bit in the Dome (church) and took a few pictures. And then spend 2 hours walking along the city shopping area, and bought some H&M, hmhmhm. When I have the time, always looking forward to more shopping, walking around the city, but you know, sometimes, just letting go, and do not hope so much will be better, but I know for sure I will get some more things along the way...trust me, because I am blessed......hahaha!Choong, Milan
A short note from Milan, Italy
Just a short note, though the city sounds interesting, but nope, I, after meeting with customer, now in office checking email. No shopping, not even a window one, in the fashion city of the world........that's working life hah. I hope to have change my profession so super 'buyer' or fashion industry, and now, I am hahaha, walking the main shopping places, branded goods, like Prada.....
oooooooooo.
Oh by the way, it was a dream for a while, since I arrived to hotel around 3 am this morning, after the flight was redirected to Turin (Turino in Italy) and then took a bus, which was without any air circulation for 2 hours. Crazy as it sounds, that was my trip from Munich to Milano, and because of weather issue, that was what I have been ended up with.
OK for now, checking some other company mail soon. If more time, some other postings later.

Hello From Darmsdat, Germany
Dear dear dear,
I am now in, as the title mentioned, in Germany, and very much exhausted due to the time difference. People get better with time, but I am reversing the trend, seems that my sleep is getting worse, from 6 hours to just merely 4 hours. 天啊,这么办那?觉得很累,又很无奈.人生就是这样的吗?还是我的人生和别人有一些差别吗?是我的选择吗?还是命中注定呢?很难回答, 也不想寻找答案.就这样吧.........:)
Will be going to Leverkuesen tonite, then after our meeting tomorrow, will be spending weekends in Munich, before flying to Milan. I am looking forward to the weekends in Munich, but not sure if i can shop around, as some programs have been lined up already.
And it has been snowing through out, meaning to say from the time I arrived until now, the whole city has been blanketed with white snow.
OK for now, have to get ready for another meeting before going over to Cologne.
Bye for now, and shall update accordingly.

Please Be Calm........
Having grown up in a peaceful Malaysia, and for the first time when I hear a Church has been bombed, it really shocks me. I mean really.
When I was a boy, growing up in Bukit Mertajam, we have many churches, temples (Toaist, Buddhist, Indians, etc), Mosques, and we do not have any problems visiting or coming near to that, and ever body is very much accepting the everyone in very comfortable manner, and life goes on, as it is, until this morning.
What went wrong? Our mentality? Our education system? what is actually wrong that it has to be done in this manner? And what is the government doing on this? And what are the leaders of the country doing now? This is simply immature action and childish.
The whole world is laughing at us, in the current situation we are in, we should be united and go for our business share, promoting our image, and we have so many things to share with the world, but we choose this to share with the world. It really sickens me....
As a Malaysian, I condemn this action, and I offer my prayers, may peace be with all of us.

I hope peace prevails, always.........
Oh dear, My Malaysia.
I read in many websites, Malaysia insider, Malaysia Today, rights2write's blog, and many more, and I am sad to hear that tomorrow there might be a demonstration, because of a religious related issue.
I do not want to comment this as it is already well mentioned in all the website and blogs,

I only pray for peace and may all my Malaysian friends will be free from any harm.
May peace prevails, may calm prevails.
