Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 2025

 My first trip of the year is a business trip to KL.

Was nice to see the Petronas Towers lit with the Singapore flag colours out of respect for our PM Lawrence Wong visiting.

Incessant Rain

 The rain has been going on for days.

It has hardly stopped.

Went for a jog in the short window this morning and STILL I got totally drenched.

Three Musketeers 2025

 Yup. Still us.

2025.

19 years’ friendship.

Talking about travelling together with our families.

To many more years ahead!

Third Language School

 So I learnt that if you took a third language in Secondary school you’d have to come here, one of the few campuses for languages, after school, to attend classes.

Hmm.

Total Running Distance

 Look at my total running distance in 2024 captured by my Strava app!

Another resolution here which is to beat that!

Whaley

 My one favourite present from my South Korea trip.

Caught this in Hongdae at a games stall that we’d been patronizing for several days. I’d tried the basketball game where you had to sink two out of four balls. It failed every time until the day before we left.

I love Whaley.

Look at how big he is!

Seoul, South Korea 2024 (Third Leg)

 Then we came back to Seoul.

This was our longest leg. Seoul is so harsh, the weather is so cold and constantly below zero and yet the harsh winds mean there is little snow.

We stayed in Hongdae for this leg.

Pyeongchang, South Korea 2024 (Second Leg)

 After that we headed up the mountains in Pyeongchang which were about three hours away by bus.

Alpensia Ski Resort was our home for this leg and it was beautiful. It’s not Niseko, Japan, but still a good place to ski or snowboard.

I ended up snowboarding for the first half and then skiing the second half of this leg. Fun!

Seoul, South Korea 2024 (First Leg)

 Our year end trip was to South Korea in the second half of December.

Started the first leg in Myeongdong and visiting the Gyungbokgong Palace, Gwanghuaimun, and the whole City Hall area.

Here’re some pictures.
