10:31PM - UnComfy Tummy
Woke up close to dawn with a super bad tummy ache.
Couldnt describe the enormous pain
that left me tossing and turning in bed...
Its somewhat like Menstual Cramps but worst than that.
Besides the pain, I felt nauseous and giddy...
Couldnt endure anymore and decided to pop a "Nurofen" which is my quick fix for pains.
For a moment, I thot i was going to die from this great unbearable pain.
Still feel alittle uncomfy now but definitely much better...
Accompanied G to visit Ben's new born , (coincidentally Ms Lee's baby boy has came to the world this morning). The baby gal , Sarah is so adorable. She resembles her dad alot and has this constant smile on her face. Her face is also full of expressions, well just like mine! haha....
Congrats to all the mom and dads for their new borns!

5:29AM - In Memory of Grandpa...
It has been almost 30 years since grandpa passed away in Jan 1980. I still recalled that I was only close to 3 years old when he passed away. Surprising I could still recollect bits and pcs during Grandpa's wake. I was sharing with Dad, Mom and aunties @ wee hours this morning infront of Grandpa's coffin, that I could still remember asking my dad and nat " Why is mom crying ? and Why is grandpa sleeping?" Well amazing isnt it? I was only almost 3years old.
As the govt releases land for other burial to take place ("lease" is about 30 years), the land which Grandpa "occupied" has to make way to others. Being traditional Asian, my parents and the elders in the family have decided to engage a "Private" Contractor to handle the exhumation and necessary rituals. Last sunday, Eldest Auntie, mom, dad and I went to make our last offerings.
This morning at 2.30am, we made our way to Choa Chu Kang Cemetary to witness the actual process. Trust me, at 2+am in the morning at the Choa Chu Kang cemetary, where thousands of bodies were buried, its kinda of SPOOKY.
No lights, pitch darkness.. And lots of mozzies.. Well, the process supposed to start at 3am. But we are early by 40mins. So wait in the darkness. It wasnt so dark as you stand in the middle of the road in the Cemetary (well, i just dunno why)
To make things worst, it was raining the whole night. And the chill just went down your spin... :P
Second Auntie was extremely timid and kept holding to all of us. Elder Aunt and Mom just refused to allow her.
And she took my torchlight :(.. But lucky dad brought an extra LED small torch and pass to me..Phew... :P
Its amazing! After being buried deep into the ground for close to 30years, Grandpa's coffin still looks absolutely intact. There were no signs of damage or corrosion at all. The contractor has dug up the coffin earlier to dry the coffin.
At 3am, after some simple ritual, the contractor used a saw to make a opening. There he took out the torso/remains of grandpa one by one. Surprisingly, some of grandpa's clothes were still in pretty good condition. His socks were also intact which was stuck with his lower limbs.
The whole process took almost one hour. After leaving the cemetery, all of us went to the 24 hour Kopitiam near my place for cup of hot drink. Heehee dad and I and few of my cousins are hungry so we took some noodles. :P
Later in the morning, we will head to Mandai Crematorium. Perhaps time to catch some sleep now.. its almost 6am. GOSH.

10:30PM - Sales Trip to Korea - 27 to 29 Oct 09
So apart from the mtgs, have managed to shop around and savoured good food. Well, back to my supposedly homeland.. haha, since i have been mistaken as korean so often... :P
27 oct 09 -
First picture that was taken when i touched down at 4pm @ Incheon Airport.
Always take the airport limobus or subway.. taxis are very expensive..
Checked in at Casaville Residence , Pretty decent svc apartment. Just that i wish they could add some variations to the breakfast selection..
The study where I checked my emails and log on to msn each evening
Where i boiled hot water for tea and my Kopi (Heng ah, i brought along two packs of 3-in-1, korean coffee lacks the umph!)
After checking some mails, have decided to go grab dinner with Monica.. ALong the streets, we decided to try some rice cakes..
After filling up our tummy with some rice cakes, we headed to Dongdaemun..
i must say... Shopping @ Spore is really a little too boring for shopholics. In Korea, they have big big buildings of at least 6 storeys filled with shops and the shopping malls are almost 24 hours, opens daily till 4.30am in the morning. So how to compare.. hmmmmm
Caught sight of some puppies on sale along the streets..
And of course lots of yummy foood....
Not forgeting Korean BBQ... aiyo so sinful!!
So satisfied after all the sinful food..
I would recommend that u try this restaurant
Haha, dont ask me whats the name.. Because I cant read Korean language.
Nice shots.
Other meals that I had,
1) Bibimbap... Supper Yummy
Before mixing up the ingredients
After mixing
2) Yummy Spicy Korean Kim Chi Tofu Soup!
Meet some nice people too
1) Very cute sales person...
2) Judy, Sunny Moon's assistant.
I, Judy and Mon
As we have some time to kill before going airport, we went to Krispy Kream to share a doughnut and coffee
At the Limo Bus Station waiting for the bus to airport.
It was indeed a short trip.

8:13AM - an nyung ha se yo
Yep.. I am in Seoul now.. Again with Mon to do a sales trip.
For a change the weather was much cooler, though the windchill could really get into you.. :P
(our experience last night)
Just had breakfast and now waiting for Sunny Moon to meet us in 10mins for the sales appointment
Didnt really have much sleep last nite.
Few reasons though
1) the pillow was too soft (i prefer hard pillow)
2) new env (find it difficult to fall asleep these days)
3) i am alone (used to be ok, but now not really)
4) some stupid thots manifested me... (well, i deserve a knock on my head..
and thank ful that G has been there for me and standing all these nonsense!! Spank myself.. OUCH)
Hope that something fruitful will come out from the appointments..
Cheers
Ahhhhhh the sun is so strong!! gosh.. and i m in "all black"
