離家出走 by Janice 卫兰
豁出去漫游不通知亲友
那快感少有哪管想去多久
抱得你未够于这里闷透
才誓死跟你逛尽地球
何必每件壮举都需要理由
伴你去出走快活而内疚
不管举世追究愿扣上你双手
自繁华浪处到沙丘
恋爱能有幸这样放肆至足够
别再管谁咒你
曾经荒谬闯荡异地
亦未枉相恋超出烦恼的禁忌
视世上人不理想早晚能见你
曾经反叛也是我运气天与地
连老了不再飞无那份勇气
怕一世未能沙砾中拥吻
有了你先有这最凄美质感
纵使有地震不因我犯禁
谁话你坏人不减吸引
明知我做错过的总要奉还
但我爱一眼有自由浩叹
都深刻过不散
让你我似走犯在穷途入教堂进谏
上帝求你让我共爱侣过更多晚
代价高仍爱你
曾经荒谬闯荡异地
亦未枉相恋超出烦恼的禁忌
视世上人不理想早晚能见你
曾经反叛也是我运气
天与地逃过约束抛开生死
这样也许了不起
但有一日轰烈乏味
就让彼此都别恋他人也不忘记
别个再没法比疯过后能放弃
回家安乐过亦有运气不顾忌
才了解喜与悲能以后铭记
人有天总怕死才注定别离
一人一半
歌手：欧得洋 专辑：北半球有欧得洋
安静会吵醒旧的事情悲伤一步步正逼近
耳边又响起我爱你那么清晰那么锐利
翻箱倒柜试图忙一点想赶走思念
汗水泪水原来一样咸像对错最后难以分辨
说好了痛苦一人一半转身各自解散
我左边肩膀上的天堂
仍是你专属的游乐场
(再不是你想来的地方)
说好了甜蜜一人一半让分手不那么酸
我帮你装上一双翅膀
却用回忆把自己捆绑
失去的原因没有道理我常和自己吵不停
再多的书籍劝不醒分而不离离而不弃
爱像底片曝光后毁灭抓不住从前
今天明天原来同一天因为日历撕不掉从前
我不是你缺的那一半你却永远是我另一半

Day 2 Korea : Fish Market and Ski Resort
Coming down from Soraksan, our next place was to the Fish Market.
Fortunately things got warmer when we got here, the sun starts to show its face around at least! But it can still be cold if you stay idle too long.
People around here constantly be near the coal stove to warm themselves. I guess it can be cold since they are in contact with water often.
This fish market is about 30min away from the Soraksan National Park.
In Malaysia fresh swimming seafood are abundant, but in Korea where unions are strong, every little things count, including wages. So fresh seafood is really not usual here as the amount of manpower needed to keep things going here.
To me, there is not different of an fee collecting aquarium compare to this market. You get to see almost every fish and clam you thought of...
and never thought of eating.
I don't even know you can eat this really. Best thing is that they are all supposed to be eaten raw sashimi style! Yuck.
Err... you are not allowed to eat this... haha... took this pic as the dog look 99% similar to one of my colleagues dog. Apparently she found out her own dog died when she came back to Malaysia later. :-(
Anyways, since we can't bring back the wet seafood, there is always the option to bring back the dry ones. Loads of variety to choose from. I find the goods here by far the cheapest throughout our duration here.
If you are ever here, don't forget to try the locally made snow crab meat floss. It is really sweet, juicy and chewy and cheap to buy. But must remember to keep in the fridge after arriving in Malaysia. It tends to get moldy too quickly as there weren't any preservatives add to it.
We only get to see snow again must later that evening. It was a long 2 hour drive to the skiing resort. Even I myself dozed off, only to be awaken much later by the cold air that surrounded gradually. I found our bus were in winter wonder land!
So much so much snow everywhere, on the roof top, the farm land, hills, river banks. Looks like the place got snowed the day before.
The bus eventually stopped by at a ski gear rental so those that wants to ski at the resort can get their gear. I chose not to as after I did a little calculation, I've got to forked out USD60+ to get the clothes, goggles, and thing just to be at the skiing place for 2 hours or so. Besides, I've already tried skiing back then in Japan, only to find that skiing is not something I am good at.
Good thing is that after paying so much for the clothing, it is free to get into the skiing place. Even the ski pole and the ski set are provided for a small fee (i think). You can see that youngsters going out to ski like 7am in the morning, just after jumping out of the bed. Err... can I say skiing in their blood? There are loads of people doing the snow boarding as well, and be very good with it too!
The whole skiing center is right on a hill behind this Vivaldi Resort we stayed.
Since we arrived there in the evening, naturally we could only start trying to ski around on the night session.
This whole place was all brightly lid up, and hits music being blasted around. I can be very sure most nocturnal animals gone hiding far away from here.
I counted there were 4 lanes all together with different difficulty level.
Some of the lanes are supplied with the chair lift system so those that just want the downhill trill doesn't gripe about the walk uphill! Because snowing are mostly unpredictable, what all the resort here did is that making their own snow and laced them with chemicals so the snow last longer. But the guide told us melted snow around here will stain ordinary clothes, which was why she kept insisting us to get the rented ones.
While all of the ones that get their hour long briefing, we that didn't join decided just hang around and take pictures.
After that was small shoppings again at the convenient store just right downstairs. Snowboarding and skiing is a big deal, naturally cooking in apartment is the last thing youngster would do, so on the go instant noodle cooking is a must and this Family Mart has it all ready.
Bought a lot of junk food that I've never tried before but feeling curious to try it. Some are good, some are tasteless, while some taste just those you can get in Malaysia.
After that we quickly go back to our apartment (Yes, sleeping on floor again for some of us)
I can definitely tell you Korean can be very good business people as well. Our night here didn't ended just like that, the guide quickly run back from skiing ground to my apartment coz we were going to have a small snacking party. She came preparing the Korean noodles, as well as bring tidbits and beer, rice wine.
When we were about to finish after loads of beer, singing, eating, messing around, the guide coolly suggested to give us all a ginseng mask treat. She had a small teaspoon of the ginseng powder into a plain yogurt, then apply onto each our face telling us our skin will go much softer after that.
I tell you, she was really good. Few days later, on our trip to the Ginseng shop, almost everyone in the tour bought this ginseng powder, extracts. Mind you, it wasn't even cheap to begin with. Even I myself ended up with a bottle, now still in the fridge.

Puffer Fish, anyone?

Day 2 Korea : Mount Sorak
I woke up fairly early this morning, but feeling much better as compare to the groggy me yesterday. Surprisingly the room was very warm, not due to the non existent heater but the heated floor. Our beds were warmed all night long with this centralized floor heating. The ducting actually runs along all the commonly walked path within the room.
I then opened up the glass door facing outside to find out what's outside. That is really the usual thing I do. What place is better to observe the surrounding up above than being in a multi story high hotel?
Dawn slowly brightens up the sky. From far, this whole place is actually situated between mountainous region. The mountains afar seemed so barren and unfriendly.
Nearby hills with trees are covered with dotted snow. I guess it didn't snow last night.
After having breakfast from hotel, we continue our journey to the Soraksan National Park.
I can't say I like this place. Especially during the cold unwelcoming winter times where all the trees were bald and boring. Since that it was so cold in the morning, the number of people seen walking around here were less as well.
We took all the pictures we need near the entrance, then quickly walked to the cable car station to take a ride up to the highest point. It was not that high actually, but due to the harsh weather all year round, the surrounding mountains are all very steeps and rocky. Looking kinda scary to me!
Apparently after approaching the top station, the journey didn't end here!
We've got to walk like 10 mins more up hill on rubber covered pathway. Along the walk, can see that the slopes were iced up, all together with soil and dried leaves and grass. Can't imagine if I have got to walk on this without any protection!
The scariest part of this whole place was when I arrived the highest point!
The ravine looks too deep but walking on top of this non slippery big rocky platform, no handles were offered! No grill around as well. I always know myself have fear of heights, but it is only here I found myself truly shivering all over. Erm, not till the point I shit on my pants, but you get the idea...
Some of us here are totally comfortable of being on top the world though!
Next was strolling around the Soraksan Temple nearby the vicinity.
Not much here really. A big copper Buddha statue looking so aged with the green rust on it, and nearby the temples building. The scenery around here as you might already know, are the rocky mountains around. So it can be quite a beautiful view to some of us.
No food, no cafe, but with a small souvenir kiosk. There are some roadside stalls selling tidbits, and the local women sitting on the floor offering stuffs from the mountain.
We then went down the mountain back to the town.

Not sure what this means here, but I guess must something like "Don't play football here"
