My Seoul's Delight

So I didn't blog for the entire September and now it's HelllOooo October.

What busy months September and October were.. though October isn't over yet. My schedules are like super packed already.

Went to Seoul in September and enjoyed the time away from my own country to be with my husband alone. Holding hands while exploring new places together is bliss for me. Knowing and discovering a new culture always seem to enlighten the mind...at least for me that is.

One of the pics I like best in Seoul with my husband is this pic I snapped of us at Krispy Kremes, MyeongDong:-

(yeahyeah.. my hand and my reflecting image can be seen... but that's ok. I still like it. Hehehe).

My husband had his first Krispy Kreme in Pusan, Korea and got hooked. He now blames me for introducing good food to him.

When I came back from Seoul, I kinda felt that I was hit by reality. There were so many things that wanted a piece of me or that I had to attend to that I felt that I never really left the country at all or had a vacation in the first place. Amidst the hecticness, one piece of good news and blessing from God was that I got promoted at work. It wasn't simply just the promotion that made me elated.

It was simply knowing that I have a faithful friend in Him - constantly encouraging me, assuring me that His blessing that will come. I know this was all possible because His words came to pass. Also, I know many ppl like my caregroup, my friends and my husband prayed for me and encouraged me too. It's the ppl that walked with me in this journey leading to my promotion that touched my heart the most.

As for the promotion? Well, it's awesome yeah but what I meant to say is.. someone once said for good work done is more work. Lol! There's plenty of truth in that saying.

Anyway, despite the many issues which I have to address at work, at ministry, etc.. I found strength in Him. He made me realise one day being back from Seoul that this is life. This is the reality of life. Ppl do have issues, ppl do have problems, ppl do have needs. But I am focusing on the wrong things. He reminded me that I should place my focus on seeing the joy of ppl experiencing breakthroughs in their situations, issues and not on the problems or the no. of problems or issues I have to address. Almost immediately I felt that He has shed light and shifted my perspective towards the positive end of things.

Though September and October continue to be busy for me... I also realise that living a totally hunky dory life day in day out can be boring and mundane. Hehehe.

So what am I doing here since I am supposedly busy? Well I've been given 2 days medical leave by my doctor today. I'm diagnosed with stomach flu, colic stomach and mild fever. And the doctor said (in his exact words): "You are now contagious. Pls do not share food, drinks, use common plates and bowls and cutlery or cups with your family members and friends". Somehow, his comment made me feel as though I am radioactive and covered with glowing green slime.

Though its stomach flu and the toilet bowl has been my good friend since last night. The ironic thing is there is NOT MUCH CHANGE in my weight. Drats. I shall leave you with a picture I took in Penang. A trip treat to my husband to celebrate his birthday in advance.

(Penang Char Kway Teow. Malaysian Ringgit 6 bucks with 6 big prawns. Something u'll never get in Singapore.. the 6 big prawns at that kind of price I mean.)
