Travel Companion

We are back from the Korea trip on last Saturday  but I have yet to upload my pics or blog about.

Out of respect for Mr Lee Kuan Yew who had just passed away, I shall defer the posting of photos till after his funeral. 

After all, it doesn't seems appropriate to post the happy pics in the mourning period.

Anyways a brief description of the trip. We spent 10days in Korea, 3days in Busan,1day in Jeongdongjin,1 day in Gaypeong,1 day for DMZ tour,3days in Seoul and finally the last day we took a noon flight home.

It was not Mr Love's favourite destination of all but he gave in knowing how much I wanted to go for the trip. It was not without hiccups. I fell sick there twice with high fever maybe due to not well prepared enough for the cold. Seriously I rather be the one sick rather than him since it was torturing to continue the trip while being sick.

But I do appreciate the we time we have together, away from comfort of home, burden of work, distractions from family etc. It is just the both of us in a foreign city and we only got each other. I always love this kind of feeling which is why we try to go on an annual trip.

Going on a trip even with your closest one is not easy. It's a do or break thing. Many a time, either one will have to give in. For instance, Mr Love is recently obsessed with a online game where he need to win 3 sets a day in order to gain extra bonus or something on that context. He would park himself on the couch every night when we reached the apartment and try to hit the quota.

Sometimes, I would get frustrated for not going to shower and rest on time but many a times I need remind myself that we are on a tour and need to maintain the good ambience. 

Mr Love on the other hand gets irritated easily if things don't go that smoothly during tours especially if we lost our way. There are sometimes I didn't know where the heck we are. I knew he was not very pleased since he would expect me to do my homework already. But he would wait patiently for me to sort things out this time especially without the help of wifi, I only can rely on either gut feelings or to ask the locals and try understand them. 

I always remember a older girl friend once told me that if you are able to travel with the person and survive without much quarrel or argument, then this is the person you can spend your life with. I always remember her words and every time when we go overseas, I remind myself this is the guy who I decided to spend my life with after travelling with him once before our marriage.

Of course, over the years our travel habits did not change. The only thing that changed is our mindset or thinking. But most importantly, we are usually able to find back the initial feelings we had for each other during the trips and bonded closer after each trip.

This is my travel companion, my life long partner. I look forward to more trips in future where we can create more of our own memories :)
