Happy CNY 2019 and Good Health

February 12, 2019 by Yein Jee

Happy Chinese New Year and Happy Lunar New Year.

Traditional CNY greetings are usually about wealth and prosperity, but I prefer to wish everyone good health instead. The sentiment is especially strong this year for unfortunate reason(s) LoL.

It’s not uncommon for people to get sick during new year, it probably happens more often in this period than the rest of the year. Lack of sleep, extra travel plus all the junk food make a good recipe for illness.

My misfortune started earlier though. Sprained my knee when spring cleaning a week before the new year; had a bad sore throat and fever since Friday, lost my voice for a couple of days because of that; and misstepped on the staircase amidst the drowsiness and injured that freaking same knee again.

I’m recovering regardless. I have my voice back, the fever is gone and the throat shall be fine by tomorrow; the knee isn’t that bad as well and I’ll probably shake it off in a few days.

The positive thing out these is that I lost a few pounds in the process, which is a first during Chinese New Year period for the past few decades. The scale usually moved in the other direction instead =)

The little saga does raise a red flag that I should take better care of my body though. People may escape from the consequences of unhealthy lifestyle when we are younger but it becomes more difficult as age grows, we need to make extra effort to keep up that healthy body.

I’m pretty bad when it comes to fulfilling fitness resolutions but this has to be the year that I prioritise that above all else. It’s probably a matter of life or death in a grimmer picture LoL.

Well, enough of whiny stories. Wish everyone a happy and healthy 2019.

The journey so far, going forward, and rebuilding the blog

July 9, 2018 by Yein Jee

This will be the final year of my 30’s. Time flies, and it seems to fade faster as one gets older. This post is a bit of recap of my adult life and some future plans.

Travel

Travel has always been my passion. Haven’t seen as many places as I had hoped but it’s been pretty good regardless. One of the main reasons I started this blog in 2007 was to share my travel and food stories.

I posted quite often about the trips at the beginning but got distracted by other stuff at some point. Currently organising my photos and will share some better stories and pictures in near future.

During this period I’ve been to United Kingdom, France, Italy, Germany, Austria, Netherlands, Switzerland, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Vietnam, Indonesia, Macau, South Korea and Thailand.

The highlight is the prolonged stay in Seoul from 2015 to 2017. My home country Malaysia is summer all year-long, and I’ve always wanted to stay in a place with four seasons for a year or two.

When I first had the idea I thought I would make the big trip before turning 30. Had to delay that for a few years for multiple reasons. But as the old saying goes, it’s better late than never.

I’ve started a Korea travel blog during the stay to share those memories. But as usual, procrastination kicked in and it will need a bit of revamp and updates. Should be worth checking in a few months time.

If you can read Chinese then check out Seoul Fun Time. It’s a blog by my friends, mostly about food and restaurants with some travel and fun stuff in between. I’ve contributed a few posts also.

Happy Notting Hill Year 2017

January 1, 2017 by Yein Jee

Crossed into 2017 watching Notting Hill, a 1999 film, on TV while trying to write some “surreal but nice” stuff… but couldn’t organise my mind to write a grand story so this is going to be a “bit of everything” post, whatever comes to mind.

February snow in Seoul, Korea

March 7, 2016 by Yein Jee

It’s a warm winter in Seoul in 2015-2016. Snow was scarce and I thought I would not experienced another snowfall during this trip, but thankfully it did snow for a few hours on February 28… not a heavy one but enough to create some nice sceneries. Photos from a small hill-park (mostly) near my hostel in Sungin-dong.

I went to Seoul Motor Show 2015

April 15, 2015 by Yein Jee

I’m in Korea again, three years after my previous trip. It’s my first visit to a Korean trade event though, and there’s probably no better place to start than the biennial Seoul Motor Show (on April 10), with beautiful cars and promo models.
