writing this from SH’s home again. for some reason i have never stayed at jean’s place for more than a week straight since i arrived in korea. and i seem to be sleeping in a lot of different beds: the serviced apt with marianne’s parents, jean’s place, the horse farm, the three hotels in japan, ...
there’s still so much i have to learn, but i think this pretty much says it all. excerpt taken from here. The other side of the coin is this: fall in love. I didn’t say “be lov …
was in japan over the weekend and arrived back in seoul this afternoon. i’d met SH’s parents when they came to singapore a few months’ back, and they invited me to visit them when i came to korea, so i called his mum after clearing customs and everything, thinking that i would arrange my other ...
things i can remember from my stay at the horse farm: fell in love (with sarangie) cleared horse dung from the stables; horse dung is HEAVY met two really cool and inspiring wwoofers learned a bit on how to handle horses picked up a bit of horse-riding skills saw how horses get their horseshoes changed ...
today is my last night here at the farm and i will be returning to seoul right after breakfast tomorrow. spent a good 45 minutes with my fave horse saying goodbye, and gave her lots of goodbye kisses. the unnie wwoofer kept teasing me, saying that i’ve fallen crazily in love with the horse. heh ...
i met some really cool people on this trip. both my fellow wwoofers are amazingly cool, especially the girl! she’s like my role model or something. she’s quit her job four times in the past and went on a 6-month trip each time, backpacked all over the continents, and done all sorts of amazing cool ...
they days are passing by in a blur. i’m a bit lazy to blog but i guess i do want to record down my experiences. 12 may. road trip with one of the sons of my host’s friend; drove around from 10-7 pm. went to gangneung, samcheok, taebaek mountain, jeongseon, and finally back to jinbu. ...
wow today was AMAZING! i got to learn how to ride a horse today, and it wasn’t those kind of horseriding that tourists usually get. i actually learned how to control the horse, how to hold the reins, how to tense and relax my thigh muscles according to the rhythm of the horse. it was ...
i noticed that the fences of some of the horse enclosures (?) were pretty low, and that the horses could actually very easily jump over it if they wished to. it’s like the horses never thought of it, but simply accepted it as something that they should not / could not pass. or maybe they ...
i had dinner with my host’s friends–a bunch of hearty, interesting and cool aunties (ajummas) and uncles (ajusshis)–last night and my host, who has done a bit of wwoofing himself dur …
it’s been a few days since i’ve been back. this mixed sense of familiarity and strangeness hits me every time i return. it’s like nothing has changed, yet everything has. the roads are the same, the buildings are the same, but a lot of the shops are different. moved out, moved in, or closed down. ...

Change of plans… again. i guess I won’t be wwoofing at the community school this year after all. i was looking through the host list and saw a newly added host, and i clicked on it. here’s what it said: *All-year around: Feeding to horse feedstuff, riding a horse, reparing a ranch institution thing.. Because ...
it’s 32 days before i step in a plane once more, and 33 days before i finally step on korean soil again. this year i will finally get to do what i wanted to do last year but didn’t due to the lack of time, which is to wwoof in korea. which i think is ...

had a good 2 hour talk with my very first student from the tuition centre today. he’d just returned from a 2-week holiday in korea and apparently had been thinking about his future during those 2 weeks. so basically during those 2 hours, he spoke completely in korean while i answered in a mixture of ...
is there no way to avoid office politics at all? i’d thought that by getting away from the corporate world and moving into freelancing, i can avoid all the office politics that comes with the corporate world. unfortunately not, it seems. all i want to do is do my work and get paid, and live ...
how does one discern friendship and companionship from romantic interest? how can you know for sure if you think of the other party as “just a friend” or if there is “something more”? i have a lot of close female friends whom i enjoy spending time with, and having good conversations with. i miss them ...
met up with someone yesterday, who had a favour to ask of me, and got very turned off by the things she said and her attitude. as a materialistic person, she chases branded goods and the high life. in her younger days, i guess you could say she was a party animal. so we were ...
