Little Moment

After class, I was taking bus back home, just as bus was going to leave the station, a couple rushing toward bus.  The bus driver kindly stopped and waited for them.

They boarded the bus and thanked bus driver.  The wife then asked for direction.  The husband moved towards my direction.  Nowadays, everyone wears mask, besides mask, he was also wearing a pair of sunglass.   Even with all these, I could see he was smiling at me, so out of politeness, I asked "where are you heading to?

"We are lost, we are looking for Hover Road"

"Oh, that is where I stay"  I replied surprised.

He immediately called his wife, they had been looking for the Hover Road and lost for half hours.

" Just follow me" 

"Thanks God for sending Angel to help us"  The husband thankfully.   I was happy to help, and even happier to be called "Angel".

We got off the bus and I led the way, the house they were looking for just 20 meters.  The little moment likes this makes me smile.:).

Become a Fan for Kpop?, yes, you read right!

 My daughter was fervent Kpop fan when she was in secondary school.  During that time, she was learning Korea; collecting kpop album, going to Kpop concerts and fan meetings, and even going to Korea....I still remember how I was angry for her obsession to the extent that she neglected her studies and family.  I was very harsh towards her at that time.   Now I regretted my harshness towards my daughters when she was a fan

Recently we had the following sms exchange:-




Now, if I tell you that I become a Fan of Kpop myself, yes, you heard right. Not any Kpop group but the only one.  Yes ! I am new Fan of Kpop group Infinite !

Being relatively conservative, though I like music,  I have never of much interested in  pop music.  Certainly not Kpop.    But recently, I come to know one special Kpop group  INFINITE, that totally blows off my head.  I wish I could have sought  to understand my daughter more when she was a fan, so that she could have full enjoyment and experience of some of wonderful things in the life.


WHY ONLY INFINITE?
