Korean wave coming back? Too obsessed with Korean dramas? The missus maybe. For me, I thought this actor Jang Dong-Gun is a really talented actor who can appear as a cold hearted killer or just mete out a mature but yet cute presence. If I, as a guy can feel this, what more those women out there?
However, I have a better reason than than the above. Truth be told, a very good Korean friend of ours will be coming back to the Lion City, this time albeit with another half - his wife! Singapore has been chosen as his choice of honeymoon after their wedding. This long awaited coming back of him will also be a good time for us to catch up on lost time. When Keith went home South, he was still a very young man at age 21. Today, he has alredy turned 28 and a young man starting to go into the path which I was taking when I first met him.
We were in a class , studying to be aspiring sportsmen in business. He struck me as a very friendly person who spoke very little. By some chance, we managed to know each other and an opportunity to visit his hostel convinced me that he needs some help. Thus, he moved to my home and our acquaintance quickly blossomed into a great friendship. With strict upbringing, he was very respectful of elders and always offered to help carry shopping bags when we go out. Not only that, he was also very supportive of us!
One of the funniest thing i recounted when we just knew him was this. He asked me about a sign on the MRT trains. He understood all the signage except for the durian sign. Not understanding what a durian was, he thought it was a bomb.
As we approach the end of September, it also beckons the end of 2013 soon. This year has passed by very quickly. I felt that it moved somehow rather quickly, especially after May. This year has also seen certain changes, such as on the work front for both of us. While it has altered some of our lifestyles, i guess all these are part of adaptations in an ever changing world.
Just as we put down the mooncakes and lanterns, the sounds of bells are near, i suppose.
