MERRY CHRISTMAS!

그리스메스 나무

KM and Friends @ 2007's Christmas

작년의 나는 예쁘지?
예쁜 다고 말을 해줘...
진짜 예쁘다니까!
이제는 안 된다.
나이가 한 살도 먹었으니까.
또 시간이 부족하니까.

불쌍한 아기....
没有　"美mau"　了...　远我已去了.

Christmas ' 2008?

No Christmas hang out for me this year.

Some photo comments and wishes I've received in friendster...
Very creative, YS and Beah!


Talking about friendster, I wonder why some friendster'mate who have viewed my profile are not willing to leave a message. It is like "going to people's home without saying hello". It could be anything under the sun.

Maybe like what I've learned in ABE, the way of Culture is very important. Or maybe I am the one who is sticking to the culture. Let me try to retrieve the notes.

National culture

It is the way you were brought up

Your culture is like your nose:
• although you do not see it properly yourself,
• everybody else perceives it,
• and thinks it is peculiar if it differs from theirs.

moreover,

• you always go where it leads you, and
• it is always in the way.

Quanxi

• Personal Relationship
– The first important thing to understand is that the Asian believes in the continuity of relationships.
– Business is based on personal relationships.
– Do not expect to achieve business from cold calling.
– An introduction is still an absolute essential to obtain business in Asia.

The best way to introduce yourself to an Asian businessman is through a third party. Getting an introduction at the highest level saves having to go through the organization, level by level.
– Perhaps this is the reason why exclusive business clubs with exorbitant entrance fee still attract the desired membership amongst the business people.

INTRODUCTIONS

• The person with the highest rank is normally introduced first.
• Everyone else is introduced in turn according to their rank.
• Avoid using first names, that is, either your own or those of your Asian counterpart.
• First names are used only among close friends and family. Asians will feel uncomfortable calling another person by their first name unless the relationship is very close.

"Face"

• A society based on such a humanistic culture is highly personalized with a consciousness of not only oneself but of government and authority too.
• Consciousness of oneself produces this extreme feeling, or regard, for "face". "Face" is an aspect of not only everyday Chinese life but all other parts of Asia. In South East Asia, "face" is important because:-
• * every person has a place, and
• * that place must be respected
• * another person's place should never be trespassed on
• * nor personal dignity directly affronted
• "Face" therefore, has a deeper and more profound meaning to Asians than the Western word "honor". Every Asian especially Chinese, high or low, has a "face" to protect.
• Generally, to oblige is to give "face" and not to oblige is to cause the other party to lose "face". If a person has a sufficiently important position or has some relationship with you and he comes to ask for a favor which it is reasonable for you to give, but you refuse, he or she has lost "face". In Chinese tradition, not to give a man "face" is rude.

I am carrying this type of personality. Sounds a bit like Korean ha...

Saw these posts in soompi and these made me to recall my memories once in Nami Island...


Some photos in Nami Island



Nowadays abundant advertisement capturing the trip to Korea with different exciting packages and attractive prices. Who would not be "influenced" or "attracted" by the amazing advertisement and the multicolouring scenery there? Exactly, who would not wish of studying or migrating to Korea... But my present status is fine too. I have decided not to miss Korea too much. I shall put it under the list of what I want to achieve. I know I can have a second visit there by myself.

Is your birthday day 7 of the month?

Your Life

You are sensitive to changes around you but your feeling is hardlyexpressed. You hate exaggerations. Under your quiet personality, you arerather stubborn and self-centered. These qualities are the force behind yourextreme persistence.

Your Love

You have enormous courage to please your lover. Your relationship oftenprogress quickly.

While we went to Jaya Jusco a couple of weeks ago, we saw the signboard to the upper carpark lots had fallen and we got a quick capture about the screen. Then we suggested to post it into thumbnail column and see if we could win the RM50 awarded by the Star. The photo was published on 19/12/2008 as one of the selected photos. However we did not classified as the best photo of the day... It is a good start, I would say that. If today the captured photos could be uploaded, who knows in the following captures the picture could be classified as the picture of the day right?

Yesterday in Tesco. I wanted to buy a bottle of tomato ketchup. But the price shown was differ. One showed RM2.35 and another showed RM2.39. Although it was only a difference of RM0.04, if I had a good megapixel camera phone with me by that time, the probability of the photo to be selected as the photo of the day would be high...

I have always realizing and noticing the usefulness of a camera phone. All in one. So useful and easy to be consumed. No one knows what would happen. And also with photos we can recap the past activities we have done which is worth to be remembered. I have loved to take photos. But recently there aren't many photos which have been captured. Hope I can own a Nokia 6120 classic soon. I am not too particular about touch screen phone or whatever ( "must look at the side dishes before having the dinner" ) , as long as the phone can receive calls, having a MP3 function and most important, sufficient memory space for capturing sort of good quality photos.

Loveholic Epi 16 (7/7)

Happy and Fresh Feeling Ending!!! Kangta & Kim Min-sun...

I dont know why
Upon seeing this part of ending
I feel free
What I mean is
I have learned that
One should not be so stubborn
To stick on a thing
But one should be carrying on the life
And when the time comes
Sure the chance to accomplish a thing
Will come true.

K.o.r.e.a , I'll keep you deep in my heart and I am looking forward to go to you again !

Also I like one of the subsongs from this drama,

It is 후애 (After Love) / 조장혁

더는 담아둘 곳 없네요
그댈 사랑하는 내맘을
나 그대에게 항상주지 못하고
숨기기만 했던 난 내안에 없죠

막혀버린 나의 사랑이
탈이난 것처럼 아파도
언제나 말하지 못해
늘 바보처럼 늘 내안에 눌러담는데

이젠 모두 줄래요 나의 사랑을
나의 마음속에 담아둘 빈곳이 없어

나 이제 더는 감당할 수 없네요
이렇게 커진 나의 사랑을
그대 곁에서 숨쉴 수 만 있다면
내게 오직 단 하루라도 괜찮죠

그대 나를 상관하나요
나에 눈을 보고 말해요
아파요 내 마음처럼
말하지 못해 늘 내앞에 감춰 왔겠죠

이젠 내게 줄래요
그대 사랑을 항상 그댈 위해 비워둔 나에 가슴에

나 이제 더는 감당할 수 없네요
이렇게 커진 나의 사랑을
그대 곁에서 숨쉴 수 만 있다면
내게 오직 단 하루라도 괜찮죠

알아요 이미 그대곁엔
내가 아닌 다른 누군가 살고 있단걸
그대여~

이제는 아파 삼킬 수 없어
그대 아니면 세상 어떤 누구도
손댈 수 없는 나의 사랑을 드려요...
