Goyang Korea | Korean food Kkomakbibimbap
It was a week long trip to S.Korea for work. I took a midnight flight and arrived very early in the morning. The weather was chilly and nice. I was craving for some hot spicy tofu soup (sundubu jjigae).
After arriving at the hotel Kintex by K-Tree, I walked over the Hyundai shopping mall and One Mount for lunch. There was a waterpark in the mall. I was wondering who would enjoy a waterpark in such a cold weather. I started to miss my two little ones.
Every day after the exhibition, I will walk to nearby neighbourhood and explore some of the hidden restaurants. I had army stew, cold noodle, clam soup, pancakes and one of my new found favourite cockle bibimbap (Kkomakbibimbap). I am not a usual fan of cockles, but this is different. It tastes chewy, spicy and sweet. I had confused them for clams until a friend highlighted that they weren't.
I didn't manage to go out often at night for shopping. The weather was around ~4 degC, I didn't want to get myself sick because I still have to travel to KL the next week. I mostly stayed in to finish some tasks and enjoyed a good face & foot mask. I bought a whole lot of daily vitamins too.
On one of the nights, Korean friends invited me for a cup of coffee while we chatted about life. One of the friends had family in the US and he'd been working hard to provide for his family from Korea. This is like a story from a Korean drama; a father sacrificed for his family. I am very thankful I always had my family with me all the time.
I love to take a stroll in the evening ; saw some cute children in thick clothes.
On the last day, I had a chance to walk around the Goyang neighbourhood. The weather started to warm up and the sun was bright. I managed to grab some last minute facial products.
At the airport, I loved shopping in Terminal 2 compared to Terminal 1 of Incheon Airport. There seems to be countless of shops. I bought quite a lot (of Lactofit and Masks) and almost couldn't fit into 2 bags.
It was a good trip.

Max and Melissa's Wedding | Suffolk House
It was on 22.2.2025 at Suffolk House Penang. An early start to the day.
All of us woke up early to prepare our make-up and dressed up. Bev and Bray were the Flower Girl and Ring Boy. It was a nice garden wedding. Everyone dressed up to match the day. It was a long-awaited day. Max and Melissa are getting married on the year they both turned 30.
The weather was sunny; good for an outdoor wedding.
Suffolk House is a nice location. There is a colonial white building surrounded by greeneries. There is a river beside it.
When the wedding marching song started, Bev and Bray first walked down the aisle. Both were very good with pacing their walk and throwing the white petals. Then came the bridesmaids; beautifully dressed in different designs of light pastel green dresses. As Melissa walked down the aisle with her father towards Bro Max, I could feel the rush of happiness for him. A flash of memories came over me, how I used to carry him when he was a baby, playing in the old house in Bukit Dumbar, him running to my school class to ask for Jie Jie, to now..... he's taking a big step forward; marrying a beautiful humble woman. I held back my tears.
They said their vows and prayers, and said "I do".
We had the tea ceremony and funnily, the necklace I bought for him could not fit through his head. He was slightly in pain as the necklace got caught in his hair.
Finally, the buffet lunch started. The food spread was good; especially the fish. Most importantly, we got to gather as an extended family and spoke of the good ol' days.
When I got home, I just realized the meaning of the theme they have printed on their handmade keychains: Khaixintothemax (Being Happy to the Max) - Khai Xin is Melissa's Name. Such good combination. I wish them both the most blissful marriage life.
