Too Long

It has been sometime since I last posted, time is not enough. Had been very busy, in and out of hospitals, taking my dad with the support of my youngest uncle.
But things is a bit, settled down, and I hope it will be much better from now onwards, and dad recovered well to the new medication and hopefully he stays positive and strong to overcome this health problems.

Until then, will post some other articles later on.

Older.......and Thanks

Back home, and seeing dad, I think he is getting very 'old' indeed. I think that is part and parcel of life, for life cycle itself is such. But at the same time, it gives me more confidence in facing reality of life and age gracefully, and appreciate every minute and every breath of life before life calls it a day for myself. Buddishm guides me a lot in this sense, and I see what is the picture Buddha has been trying to explain to all human beings. That one cannot avoid old age, pain and end of life cycle itself, but one must try to all good deeds while one is alife, like helping people in needs, taking care of your family members when the needs is there, etc etc. Not going to name too many here, but I think once must also get ready to face the end of life cycle itself, on Earth, before moving next.
And as we age, and during this critical period of time, that is the time you see the real family members that come to provide support, and I appreaciate the support from all my aunts and uncles, cousins (also warm message from sister Joyce in SF), Nieces and nephews...(seems a lot, but of course specifically, Natasha.. for helping out in the house while her mum is away), friends-Devil, Tony, Terence and specially to my sister Nancy for sure. And we learn the real meaning of this.

Putting that aside, there are some other issues from other Uncles, which I might find sometime to write in near future. Every one has their own problems, and it is hard to describe and explain to everyone who is not in the same boat.
Will share later. Ciao now, have to call hospital to check if there is any consultation allowed for dad.

Freedom

Oh gosh, before I leave this place,I feel the sense of freedom, a freedom to express myself, on what I have in my though within the parameters and limits, but having not able to access this blogsite for the last 2-3 weeks really treasure this time, this day, this opportunity to just write and express it. Yeah baby......I am so happy to write now, and I know and treasure more the freedom to do so, having the freehand to write something I want, without fear and favour.

??????

Have been kept out of blogging for sometime. I am now in HK airport, enroute to Penang, and thank goodness, I found that I can now access to this blogspot of mine. In Beijing, I could not access for weeks, hence unable to update anything since then. Perhaps I could have written something sensitive, not very sure.
But anyhow I will keep on updating.

On the way back to Penang, to see my dad, caused he has been in and out of hospitals for quite a while. So, Wednesday, got a call from Sis, hence decided to go back, though time is a bit too rush, but still have to find the time. Last spoken, heard from Nancy, Dad is better. But I do not want to hold back anymore, hence, it is better to proceed with this trip and let Nancy goes back to Kl to be with her family for a while (to be fair,hahaha).

I have so many things to write, and I hope to there is actually no blockage to blogspot in China itself or if my article is too sensitive to local govenrment, they can delete or take it out.
I want my freedom back to write and share my story, that is all Luahanku is all about.

I will try to find ways to update my blogsite.
Stay in touch.

Aung San Suu Kyi

I am not a politician, and having read much about her since probably my University days, and visited Yangon 2 times and also friends there, I feel her recent court case issue will not do much good for whole Myanmar. But that is not for my main comment here, I only wish her to have a fair trial and I think she has to be given equal rights like every Burmese and like every ASEAN citizen, expressing her thoughts, her rights, and her fight for her own beloved country.

Personally and as far as my understanding goes, I think she has sacrificed a lot for her country, for her family and for herself. I salute you for this, Madam Aung San Suu Kyi.

Choong, Seoul

Seoul

Haven't been writing much since my last posting, because I was indeed busy, but then again, I could not have any access to Blogger.com since a few days back, so, while the mind is willing, the body isn't, the anology is there.
I am in Seoul now, back to the capital place I used to be quite familiar with, in my previous jobs, that was while I was still in Acidchem. And a lot of memories flying back.
Shopping, restaurants near University locations, which making you rejuvenate a bit and time suddenly moves backward (or I wanted to feel that, it does not matter lah, tak apa kan).
And after meal, I found a pair of white sandal, which I wanted and I got it. May be share the picture later lah. Possible also this pair of Sandal was manufactured in China, and could have only cost USD 1? I bought it for USD 5. But ok lah, kan, cause I like it mahhhhhhh, got style what- That is what Malaysians like us used to say.

Ok, now going to take my shower, then drink my ginseng tea, check a bit of my emails and then rest. hopefully, tomorrow can have 1 hour swimming, and then, garden terrace breakfast before I go off for my meeting in Doksan city.
Oh yeah, my long time friend, JungHwan called me, when I arrived to Incheon International airport. A long time friend, and I miss him, and his call suddenly cheers me up. That's what friends are for, and you value and treasure this type of friendships more, as you 'mature along' and when you travel to a foreign city, though I already considered a veteran, tapi kan, kita ini manusia betul tak, ada kamcheng, kamcheng lah.....

OK ok, talk too much, time to take my shower, before coming back to check my mail.

Nite from Novotel Ambassador hotel, Doksan, Seoul.

Guess Where This Place Is......

Answer will be given, but hint is mentioned in 3rd picture. Talk later

One Of My Personal Favourite Photos

One of my favourite views, from Jingshan park, on top of a small little hill, you can have a full view of Forbidden city, from the back-gate. Most tourists do not visit this park, hence could have missed out this view. Make sure you come to this park, and climb to the top of this little hill to have a full view. Come from East gate, and go out through the west gate (hope I got this correctly).
