I was playing with James while we were doing his homework. He's such a cute Korean boy and his parents were there with us. I chatted with his parents, how well he was doing with his homework but had difficulty in pronouncing "aquarium!" Suddenly, I remembered Joe! Why hasn't I informed Joe that I was in his country? If there was a person who I would tell first, it would be him. He has been my friend for a very long time now and he has always been asking me to visit him there as he misses me terribly! So, I took my phone, started writing a message to him and before I could press send....I woke up! It felt real.

Let's go there together. A few weeks back I got a surprise message from Joe actually, asking me when am I going to visit him. Then he became very sentimental and talked about the days we would meet during the sun set and then party all night till we watch the sun rise and talk about our lives and our dreams.

@TiarasOceanView He told me if I couldn't go there this year, he will visit me by the end of the year or early next year. He longs for my companionship!

The last time we talked he told me he would visit me by the end of the year or early next year. Hope he won't come here in December as I plan to go to Hong Kong by then.

i was about to say "finally" "good for you" etc because i know you're keen to travel as a family, but can't because of your role. i hope the HK trip will push through.

I wish the same as well. Was actually checking out flight schedules this afternoon, but I forgot to check my son's school vacation.

@toniganzon yeah, that's another factor to consider. i guess you can also check out long holiday weekends, but i guess others are checking those out, too.

You got me there! Hahaha I thought you really went there. Well if you really have to go there try not to get tangled with the occult... They say they have lots of them so be careful. God bless.

Actually I have been planning to go there but it always get cancelled because of the many obligations I have here. This year we might visit Hong Kong but it's not certain yet.

I was too busy all day so it was only a short time in the morning that I felt a bit strange.

@toniganzon Oh my goodness, you were dreaming about visiting your friend, Joe! Maybe it's time to give him a call on your cell-phone:)

He's a very busy person and I don't want to bother him. He's the one who usually calls me coz he knew I couldn't reject his call.

I could just imagine hearing him pronounce it. We have a korean celebrity hosting a local show. It was just cute listening to their accent.

He's good at pronouncing actually but since he's just 5 years old he's still just learning to read. He stayed in America before so he doesn't have much problem with that.
