i know Sebert warns me about the way i blog. full of complain! tried to but, hey, i'm a whiner! is there a word such as whiner? oh well.
in Seoul now, i'm not complaining bout being bored since there's facebook thinggey that i let myself hooked.
Done all the important sight seeing. when Kenjiro (leon's flatmate) cracking his struggling to converting Japanese to English, trying to be helpful, asking me about Seoul's attractions. my proud answers, been there, done that! Leon been living in Seoul for 5 years.thank god with his traveling job requirement. he could be bored to death here! i asked Kenjiro if there's some other activity that i could do. swimming is way out of topic since you cannot wear 2 pieces here in public swimming pool. gotta wear the proper PROPER swimming attire. what? done the paragliding. wish i could do it again but it's freezing out there. go cart? no such thing. no paint ball and yada yada yada. i'm sticking to home base.
Leon complaining about my weight, and keep on pushing me to walk around this mountain! i take it as mountains. even though his flat is at the hill. i nicked name my leon sweetheart, "pusher fucker!" he smiled sarcastically while mumbling about women once they got what they wanted and all the bad ass attitude transparent. bla bla bla.
The truth is, i don't feel good with my new body. was way too difficult to choose what to wear unless, i just go to the mall and start new wardrobe collection which i REFUSED to do. i promised myself i wont stay like this forever. because it's not who i am and who i was. yes, i've been a balloon all along but not this record breaking 65kg! HAH!
This time, this trip, surprise surprise i brought along my sneakers and work out attire. nah, the main reason of bringing, so i could be prepared when Leon trick me for candy store, he diverted to the mountain side for walk and exercise. had that before! he done everything including going to work late just to get me off the bed and have a brisk walk for health. *long sigh*
It's been 2 days, i done everything on my own accord. yeay. the weather is freezing! but hey, if in Malaysia, i'm sure i complain about the otherwise temp. tutt tutt tuttt tuttt....
The first day, i totally forgotten about my ipod. done my mountain trekking. surprised with the amount of humans walking ups and downs and another surprise, i'm the sole below 30. yeah, all the youngsters working aye.- solely colored. it didn't bothers me until they started to turn their heads just to recomfirms, i'm not Korean! and there's this women gossiping(guess so from the tone of voice) stop the chat just to look at me. if only i'm inna wacko moods, i should start doing moonwalker just to impress them! hah!
Of course for being different, you get the look. but hey, this is not kampung, ok. plus, if i'm not mistaken, Korea already been listed as developed country. no longer in the 3rd world status. open up you people.
Today, after great lesson yesterday, i put on my ipod. brought my camera since Leon suggested i could take nice photos of the leaves. yup, colorful and beautiful. just uncomfortable to carry bulky items hanging around my waist. people looked, i pretended like i'm a spy! that'll give the kicked! ha ha ha
I GOT LOST. was busy admiring the nature, walking and snapping and day dreaming, i was lost. not that i'm nervous. was angry because all the buildings here, ARE ALIKE. the architectures, the heights, the colors, the numbers, are the same. the only marking is the developer's logo. now, again i felt like a fool. degrading myself. forgotten this is socialist country-erm,i won't be reprimanded by my own remarks, right? everything must look equal. no super condos, duplex,luxury whatever. all are the same. the only thing i could remember how to get back to Leon's flat was the flat's number and which floor is his unit. i have no idea who's building who. damn it!
Bit thirsty, i made my way up again. at least to the panoramic view. was circling around the sign board area, ups and down for trial an error until i decided i have to climb up again to the panoramic view point so i could at least guess, which way should i get down without getting lost to nowhere again. bravo, here i am, in Leon's flat, complaining! whining! nagging!
Apart from complaining, i do have to say i'm impressed with the whole set at of this place. i called it the mountains because its really high up. the woods really are beautiful with public usage of outdoor gym equipments and badminton courts. well maintain. clean along the way subjecting to the people. i hardly see any rubbish.-i am bias comparing this to my very own country. mesti ada at least the twisties empty plastic or the water plastics. but here, it's clean. and, while wondering alone, i don't feel scare at all. pure relax while trying to grasps air! hik!
