MH370,, Please Come Home

It had already made international news that the tragedy that hit MH370 is still surfacing in the headlines and investigation is still on-going. Assistance had been extended by our neighboring countries, Australia and also the US. It's really a mystery how something as big as an aircraft can go missing.

But, we just want everyone on-board to come home. Nothing else, but I hope for their safe return.

What irritates me is the people are sharing all kinds of links on FB without knowing the source of the information, and I did not know so many have become journalists and experts in the aviation industry overnight. What happened is really not a joke and it's not funny. Imagine what the family members are going through right now. The pain, the torture, without knowing what's going to happen, and they are face with all uncertainties.  I have been hiding more and more newsfeed because I just do not want to know their opinions, their comments and anything else they wanna say. They can condemn all they want because they are not the ones involved in the investigation. Don't you think if they have found something, do they not want to share it with people? If really you are that great, why not offer your help to assist? I'm sure by then, the plan will just appear with everyone safe home, since you people are such experts in the field, that maybe you are some kind of magicians even.

With this, I see all the inhumane species. Where has all the compassion gone to? Being all cold blooded, without any means of empathy within the human race anymore. I see insensitive remarks of "they deserve to die." The people that deserve to die is you people honestly, not the ones on board. If you have nothing nice to say, don't say.

When I heard the news, I was dumbfounded. I am still in shocked because it had affected me on a personal level. I really really do hope that they are all safe in a place and they will soon return home. All of them.

2013 Busan Day 3 Part 2

Yeah, after lunch we headed to Taejongdae Resort Park or in Korean it's called 태종대.

As I've arrived there and it's just so windy, nice. There are no subways that can bring you there. You gotta fetch a bus.
From Busan Station, take Bus 88 or 101 and get off at Taejongdae (태종대).

Buses bound for Taejongdae: 8, 13, 30, 88, 101

There's no admission fee and you can even bring pets in, how awesome is that. The Danubi train ride costs 1,500 won for adults. If you think, why do you need to take a train there. Well, you will know if you find out how far you need to walk, which is, I believe 250 meters?

Weee~ The love. Okay, I know it's really meant for couples, but still!

That's the Taewon Pebble Beach. The pebbles are all so beautiful. This is also the sea viewing point.

Since I am literally illiterate when it comes to Chinese characters, I am not able to tell you what is this. It's just definitely has something to do with the kings. Anyway, this place Taejong is named after King Taejong Mu-Yeol.

The Journey

The Journey

This is the first Malaysian movie I have watched this year. This is about a girl who was going to get married with a foreigner, with all the obstacles they need to go through with different beliefs and traditions with a conservative background.

The actress was pretty but the acting was rather flat and emotionless. Some parts were quite ridiculous. But, let's not focus on that part.

I like how the movie flows, the actual message the director wants to deliver. It's quite a nice, straight forward movie. I really believe this movie is a success. Benji was adorable there :P

2013 Busan Day 3 Part 1

It's already Day 3. What Day 3 is? SHOPPING! I am not loaded, so I do not go to malls to shop. Instead, I have always loved street shopping. The feeling is just so right. The weather was the perfect day for that. It wasn't raining, it wasn't too hot. It was just nice for any outdoor activity.

Usually, there are streets along a University like in Seoul. In Busan, it's Pusan National University. Do not be confused with Busan National University of Education. It's 2 totally different places. If you to the latter one, it's isolated and dead, and there's no shopping there. You can maybe look to the sky and enjoy the breeze?

Tadaaa ... we have arrived at the place. The street of youth :D

That's the street, rows and rows, streets, and it's awesome. haha. You get good deals there

Of course, it's then lunch time that cannot be mixed. It's great to go for small eateries because they can never be that expensive.

Hello with the food. Haha.

When You're Lesser

Recently, there was an article circulating around on again a known Malaysian issue. When you somewhat look different from the normal look, people will start to wonder what is your ethnicity. What are you, where are you from. Are you more of this and less of that. Or having said your origins, you get comments that you don't look as such, instead more of something else. Irritating.

I am nowhere near a mixed blood, but I get pissed. I don't know why I can relate to it one way or another. Even when you have that normal look, and you do not meet certain criteria, and even more so you don't speak that language people expect you to, then they will ask all those dumb questions that will forever irritate the hell outta me.

People, you get it, Malaysia has 3 different major races here with also the existing of aborigines together with the foreigners here. Therefore, it's not a very rare sight to be seeing people with mixed parentage. Do not ask "WHY" on the very first meet. Please.

Then, there comes the language part. Expecting every other Chinese to speak Mandarin. Have you gone insane? When you don't speak it, all these pests will be then asking why not? You're this race, you should know, and you are humiliating the whole community. Just shut up, you have absolute no reason to criticize someone just because they do not meet your darn expectations to be as extreme as you. Furthermore, yes, ancestors are from there, but not that individual. I declare and it has all been recorded that I am a Malaysian, nothing less, nothing more. Hence, I am expected to speak English. I do not hold any responsibility to make the other country proud. I was not taught that. I'm sorry. Really, it cannot get worse than that. This is outrightly exasperating and they should learn what respect is, and apply it on their daily lives. To add more to that, they should leave others alone and learn to lead their own lives that revolves their own well being instead of others. Make the world a better place, geez.

2013 Busan Day 2 Part 5

Finally, the night had arrived.

The sun was setting, the it's all grey now. It's time to have dinner maybe? Soju time~

After the sun is set, that's how it looks like. So pretty~

 

I like this a lot. It's very much of my color - blue.

They have this all over, the Angel Cafe. I've not tried any of them. The next trip then.

The Busan Rock Festival is held every year in August near a beach and admission is free. They have various genres such as rock, metal, and indie. How I wish I could have gone to it.

Why She Does Not Reply?

A common issue that has always been raised, that people don't reply texts. Usually, that is always said by girls towards the guys who don't seem to reply their texts.

It's a common issue, guys are more visual creatures and girls are more social creatures. Hence, the reason why guys love to communicate in person, and the girls love to be hogged with their phones.

Of course, this is the common one. Then, you get the unusual ones. The opposite happens. The guys keep texting the girl but receive no reply.

Dude, you know what's the indication? The girl has no absolute interest in you, and this is particularly true when you are a creepy species. You don't text the same person every single day with the same kind of message. If you keep on texting, it will only chase her away. What's the point really?

Not every single person love having someone beside her, or having someone to call or text her all the time. This is serious, not everyone enjoys that kind of companionship. Personally, I feel that is rather suffocating, unless I really love your companion then it's a different story. Otherwise, it's an agony altogether.

If that person wants to text you or reply to you, you don't need to keep texting. A reply will arrive at your doorstep. But, the problem is, if you don't get any replies, you know where you stand. That most probably you have been acquaintance-zoned. It's always nice to have some mystery.

2013 Busan Day 2 Part 4

After Shinsegae, walked quite a bit to this place called K-Pop 3D Cinema which has opened in Busan. Isn't it awesome?

It shows like live recording concerts, all in a 3D theatre. It is mainly for Japanese and Chinese markets. When I was there, there were no shows I have forgotten why. Tickets can be booked online in their website.

BIFF ... familiar? Haha it's the Busan International Film Festival and this is their place in Haeundae-Gu. It's probably the biggest event in Busan.

Haha .... awesome.

Next stop was to Gwangalli Beach (광안리해수욕장). This is another famous beach there and they have very fine sand that it makes it so nice to walk on it. Another place for cultural events, water sports and stuff like that.
Take subway line no. 1 from Busan Subway Station and transfer from subway line no. 1 to no. 1 at Seomyeon Station. Get off at Gwangan Station(subway line no. 2, exit 3 or 5) and walk 5 minutes.

There are so many restaurants, bars, cafes, all along the beach and you will never go hungry there. Problem is, you don't know which to dine in.

Monks are happy when they drink :P

That Jealousy

I have been thinking lately due to the recent events that had been happening. I don't mean to be on anyone's side but, jealousy had been way over-used.

According to dictionary.com, jealousy is a resentment of someone's success, rivalry or advantages. So, if you are concluding that one's actions are due to the fact that the person is just being jealous, it's really very sad. It's just an immediate conclusion. How can you conclude one's behavior of being jealous when you don't even try thinking of other possibilities. I am no psychologist, but not all humans are just jealous.

Personally observing it, I really do not think that the said person is just being jealous. From the very beginning, I can tell it wasn't jealous but it's something else. I cannot point out what exactly but it's really something else. It could be that he or she is just annoyed with that other person. Why must it be always being jealous, right?

It sounds very cliché and it's definitely a very easy way out to have such conclusion. Sometimes, people do not have much thoughts of pulling your legs. It's not always related with jealousy. Why must it always be that way?

Therefore, am I wrong to say that you are also being jealous when the attention is not given to you? I am beginning to think it that way. I know for sure, it's going to be denied, but again, it's the same thing. You are just jealous then when you are not being given the attention you wanted. It's the exact same theory. It isn't fair for you to be concluding in such a way, but was it even fair for that other person in the first place?

When one is great at something, you may not be good at other things. Try accepting it maybe? Whatever you say, there comes an opinion "she is just jealous," "he is being jealous." Isn't that sickening to be hearing it over and over again?

2013 Busan Day 2 Part 3

Here goes. Okay, there are many many pictures as I have visited quite a few places that day. I was out from morning to night, so what can you expect, right? Batteries don't die. There's a camera, iphone and ipad. Haha.

This isn't like the ones we get here in MY. The beach is so nice, so calm, so white, so clean. Unlike here, we have so many stalls around, food and etc. But, it's just so clean there. OMG. I really love it. Cultural events and festivals are held here. It's 1.5 KM long. The weather was so hot though it's already fall.

From Seoul Station(subway line #1 or 4 ) take KTX to Busan station( 2hr 30 min travel time) >> From Busan station walk 172m straight and take bus(# 1003)(04:20 to 22:20 / every 9 min / 31 min travel time) >> get off at Haeundae Beach stop and walk 169m to Haeundae Beach

There's an aquarium nearby the beach where tourists can go. But, the entrance fee is really way too expensive.

Zooraji recently opened a rooftop outdoor theme park of Shinsegae department store. It is a reminiscent of the Jurassic era. It's pretty darn cool. I have not seen that many dinosaurs in my life.

SHINSEGAE Centum City, it's the largest departmental store. Worth a visit. If you're loaded, shopping here is not an issue.
