30-04-15' bystander effect in group chat

Sometimes its ironic to see people always busy texting on the phone and you start wondering who the message is for. Because when you texted in a group chat and no one replies. In a rational chain of thoughts, it could be the bystander effects and distribution of responsibilities, i.e, wait for others to reply, or at least one person reply so I don't need to. In emotional terms, maybe you're too insignificant to them and they don't see the need to reply, or the question is too deep and they need more than a day to think through, or simply the replied text vanished halfway through the network. It makes me feel dumb talking to myself.

22-04-15' one month sabbatical?

Can I take a month of sabbatical? 8 years in dental line, 3 years of hygiene school. I've spent 11 years looking at teeth. 

I was so intrigued by the scheme of working and living in New Zealand for young adults under 30years. This experience prepares one for permanent residency in future. 

I need an escape from the rat race.

16-04-15' maintaining the weight

In all honesty, I'm happy with my weight now. Of course I'll be thrilled to shed another 3kg for ideal frame but I think my physics has reached its limit. I can't seem to get over the 1kg gain after Korea and become all paranoid, depressed and nonsensical. Grr..

13-04-15' 1 week after Korea

1 week since I'm back from Korea. I'm missing there already! For more food hunt, beauty retreats. I can fully understand my friend's statement of 'to be happy- go Korea 20 times a year' 

Spring is an awesome time to see cherry blossoms. The weather is a love-hate thingy, it's all nice and sunny in jeju with 18 deg cel but it rains 2 out of 3 days when we were there; while Seoul was freezing as it hovers between 3-8 deg cel leaving you the urge of swearing whenever gust of wind came and send your hair standing. 

Autumn is the season I wish to be there. For the cool weather and sceneries filled with maple leaves. 

I hope to go there every year for their  jjimjilbang(Korean sauna/spa). One of the ways to reward my body after working hard. Not that I enjoy seeing naked ladies walking around, lol.

Surprisingly I lost weight while I was in Korea pigging out. The black pork BBQ was so goooooood yet sinful. It must have been the tremendous number of steps and climbing throughout the trip- from train stations, attic of the apartment and within attractions. Climb, climb, climb. I've climbed more steps in Korea than I have in the past 3 months in sg. It had taken a toll on my knees especially my right one. 

I'm counting my lucky stars that my knee held on and stayed strong for as far as my legs could take me. Thank you, my knees, for bringing me to these places and please continue to carry me forward to experience life.
