Korea Trip Day 3 | Some Misc Cool Ewww Wooo Things

authored on Thursday, June 21st 2007

 Yummy, Dummy, Lummy, Mummy! Cooked worms! Ewwwww….

Cooked Worms
The monument below is made of stones. No strings attached ;)

Would you believe if I told you that the stones are just piled one atop another without any adhesive help?

Monuments Of Stones

Of course you won’t, because I didn’t. Still, it looks odd though it’s unique. It almost seems that the construction workers there have nothing better to do.

Then again, all over Korea, you will see signs encouraging you to recycle. There’s a park somewhere where everything is made of garbage! Though not very pleasant to look at, but to see what they can come up with from junk, it’s amazing!
Quatz Stones

Stone. Durian stones. Or quatz… if that’s the way you spell it.

Nice to see,
Not nice to hold,
Buy already,
You want to throw!

What Is Sin?

authored on Tuesday, June 19th 2007

Sometimes one can’t help but wonder what is sin?

Who determines what is right and what is wrong?

Don’t you sometimes that what you are doing isn’t right anymore?

Sometimes you are doing right but actually it’s to cover up a wrong?

What is right and what wrong now?

If you never go through these motions, are you human?

Speaking of which, it’s just a feeling right?

So if it feels right, then it’s right?

The questions are never ending, the answers are vague and after beating round the bush, you will find, you need an absolute point of reference!

What is a ‘point of reference’? Simply a goal, a yardstick, something or someone you can compare your right and wrong with.

An example, you say that the grass is greener on the other side. But you only know your grass is greener because you have had another patch of grass on the other side to compare to.

This sermon which brought out this topic got me thinking, what is sin. Here’s a poem I retreived from that sermon.

WHAT IS SIN?

” Whatever weakens your reasoning
Impairs the tenderness of your concious
Obsecures your sense of God
Or takes away your relish for spiritual things
In short if anything exceeds the authority of the flesh over the spirit
That you become sin however good it is in itself ”

So get your yardstick right, get your absolute point of reference right, and you will alright!

Have You Known God Yet?

authored on Sunday, June 17th 2007

Lord God I’ve never spoken to You
But now I want to say how do You do
You see God, they told me You didn’t exist
And like a fool I believed all these

Last night from a shell hole I saw Your sky
I figured right then they had told me a lie
Had I taken time to see the things You made
I would have know they weren’t calling a spade, a spade

I wondered God, if You’ll take my hand
Somehow I feel that You’ll understand
Funny I had to come to this hellish place
Before I had time to see Your face

Well I guess there isn’t much more to say
But I’m sure glad God that I met You today
I guess Zero hour will soon be here
But I’m not afraid, since I know You’re near

The signal

Oh God I’ll have to go
I like You Lord so I want You to know
Look now this will be a horrible fight
Who knows I may come to house tonight
Though I wasn’t friendly to You before
I wonder God if You’ll wait at Your door

Look I’m crying
I’m shedding tears
I have to go now God, goodbye
Strange now I’ve met You, I’m not afraid to die

Korea Trip Day 3 | The Commercialized Caves Trip 3

authored on Sunday, June 17th 2007

On the contrary, there are some nice pictures that the digital camera can take! Below are the rest of them.

Korean Beauty

It looks like some kind of a haven to swim in. Where you can walk in and splash around all you like. But in reality, this is live size. You probably can’t put your head through the biggest hole there. It probably is a nice place to rest in if you are a Korean rat. ;)

Korean Tunnels

Ah, another haven and paradise. Rent a boat and go into the unknown! Yea, right. Once again, though you can put your head through this, your body can’t make it past that stalamite.

Korean Dungeons

This one is similiar to the picture shown a few posts ago. Look at how it had evolved! When I look at this, I feel like stuffing it with golf balls or something. It’s just nature giving me the creeps.

Korean Signs

And so we came to the end of our journey of the commercialized cave. “For a moment, look back, and then good bye” would indicate there’s a beauty to be seen only when you look back because as you look in front, it looks like an ordinary cave, but there’s one big huge giant stalamite dangling down for all it’s worth.

It is said that lime stones are sensitive to the human touch. And I mean it in a bad sense. If you touch a limestone, somehow the alkaline of your skin will react with the lime stone and make it stop ‘growing’. For instance, if you touch a stalamite, you can be sure a few weeks or months down the road, it won’t grow anymore. Yup, the power of the human touch.

Now go touch someone. hehe.

Korea Trip Day 3 | The Commercialized Caves Trip 2

authored on Saturday, June 16th 2007

Flowers are white, flowers are red, but they don’t grow on rocks! Hah, giving them a fancy name such as ‘flower’ when it looks like moles on red stone.

Korean Soda Straw Caves

Dripping stones of Soda Straw
Makes people want to go explore
Drinking sipping slurping swallowing
My goodness, your tummy is exploding!

Hah, what a funny post. Better get back to work. 21:51 already. Bleh. Sleep sleep.

Korea Trip Day 3 | The Commercialized Caves Trip

authored on Friday, June 15th 2007

 Have you been on a Nature Trip and find out that it was already commercialized? No more mud, a constant roof over your head and stalls on your left and right?

Below are a few pictures of the pile of digital photographs I have. These pictures were taken before entering the cave and I simply am glad that I took them before entering for inside, almost nothing very much nice to see besides stainless-steel bars and stainless-steel stairs and stainless-steel fence.

Korea Caves

Ahhhh… Stalagmite. A term unheard of since secondary school. Looks like some mutated beast mouth. Hah, better cut down on those horror shows.

Korea Caves 2

Wow, this is really errie. It looks like a brain of some alien. Clearly gives me the chills and goosebumps when I see this pic.

Korea Trip Visit

This one is nice. Looks endless but it probably ends where the light shines.

There are two more posters coming in the next post!

Korea Trip Day 3 | More And More Flowers (& economics?)!

authored on Friday, June 15th 2007

These two flower pictures are of the best of the four flower pictures IMHO. Still, despite the cold, an attempt has to be made to snap these pictures up.

Korea Flowers

The last blog post was all about economics and ‘no such thing as a free lunch’.

Maybe this is something God is trying to say to us humans!

Salvation is free but Jesus has to die on the cross.

Adam had the whole Garden of Eden to himself yet he has to rule over them, give the animal names and probably communicate to them!

The earth can take care of itself if left alone, but it’s our human responsiblity to not polute it beyond repair, in fact we have to conserve the only earth we have!

Is there something for nothing? Napoleon Hill says no. Marketers say no. Economists say no. But in essence, one can trade something for something and ROI can become the factor. Sell services for money, use money for service. Economical cycle.

Money can always be earned back. Friends & opportunities cannot be earned back. On the dying bed, no one says, ‘let me see my bank account one more time’, but ‘let me see my friends and family just one more time’.

Ah, some revelation is coming out of this lonely blog. Gagaga.

Here’s the second picture. Thank you for ‘tolerating’ me with my rant. I’m just giving you some service ;p

Korea Trip Day 3 | Ah…. The Smell of Fresh Flowers!

authored on Thursday, June 14th 2007

Anyohaseyo! Hah, if I spelt that correctly. We had a good breakfast and now, just outside the hotel, flowers are blooming! Well… if you don’t mind the weather, which was extremely cold… oh well.

Korea Flowers

Tulip season has just ended so if you can see tulips right now, it’s kinda rare because they are either dying or dead.

Korean Flowers

Ah, a pot. What the crap. I dare not get closer because the hotel door is just behind me. It’s that cold man. Though I’m a man, but I’m not stupid enough to stand outside there and catch a cold. Not on the 3rd day of Korea. Beautiful things come with a price don’t they?

Beautiful flowers for beautiful girls. Since beautiful flowers comes with a certain price, beautiful girls comes with a certain worth… and price.

Men? yea, nothing is free in this world. The more ‘valuable’ a man is perceived to be, the higher the bid. Hah, That’s the basis of economics! Everyone wants everything in the world or at least what their eyes and minds can fancy. But due to limited capability, and it’s usually finance, one has to consider what one has and what one doesn’t. Economics.

Okay, how did I get here? Learning economics is beginning to be very intersting these days. I wonder why. I wonder why…

Korea Trip Day 3 | Innovative Jam Despenser

authored on Monday, June 11th 2007

Innovative Jam Despenser

This is jam. Yup, in it’s true form and if you notice carefully in the middle of the jam holder, is a cross like mark. Looking at the pictorial instructions, if you turn the jam upside own, and squeeze both ends together, jam will disperse!

It might not fasinate you but these are the little things that make Korean who they are. Yea yea, Japanese have their technology and Chinese their traditions, and Korean with their innovation. No need knives, or messy tearing, just squeeze and spread.

There is another word for ’spread’, I just learnt it yesterday. Disseminate. So it’s good, disseminate the jam all around the baked flour for optimum taste sensation ;)
