There is this thing called karma or fate, or enishi in Japanese and 缘份 in Chinese. Not something that is within our control, something that we have to be resigned to. When it is meant to be, it is meant to be. And when it is not, nothing will happen no matter how hard one tries.
This was exactly what happened. I thought all my karma were aligned when I managed to get things that went wrong to straighten out for my flight to Jeju…same flight as Park Sihoo-ssi! What luck! Karma!
While I am a fairly level headed person, I can sometimes be very impulsive. So impulsive that I end up with long term commitments like setting up ParkSihooSsi.com that have me “slaving” for Park Sihoo-Ssi for peanuts! Oh no, not even peanuts! Kekeke! But a willing “slave”, never doubt that! I am always impulsive in Hoo’s company!
I went on another impulse again recently, one that would have gotten me stranded in Jeju! When his flight details were released by Sihoorang, his Korean Official Fan Club, I found out I was heading to Jeju on Saturday, same day as Park Sihoo-ssi! Impulsive me decided, hey, for once, maybe I could do what some persistent fans do, and experience what it would be like to fly on the same flight and class as him! Just got to change my flight from Asiana to Korean Air! And everything went so smoothly to change my booking! Yipee! Good karma!
Then, horrors! So used to having flexibility for my travels and being able to change my tickets to suit my schedule, I found out in the late afternoon the day before I travel to Seoul that my current ticket didn’t allow me to do this! I had to travel according to the itinerary or I would be denied boarding! Oh no! Scrambled I did frantically to correct this oversight! Phew! In the nick of time because once I started on my journey, there would be no turning back!
Bad karma struck. And then righted itself. So I was all set, cruising along all the way right to getting my boarding pass for my flight to Jeju. All I had to do was wait for Park Sihoo-ssi to check in! Yeah!
His manager had already been waiting and he should be right along around 3 pm. We waited all excited, more than 30-40 of us – Chinese, Japanese and Korean fans, and me, the one outlier. Most of us were on the same flight to Jeju! We had company! Come 3 pm and the clock ticked by, come 3.15 pm and his manager raised the red flag in alarm! Park Sihoo-ssi had been delayed! First snow in Seoul jamming the traffic! He would barely make it for his scheduled flight and might miss it altogether! Likely only able to make it to the next flight at 5 pm! There goes karma again…at work, but in a foul mood! Darn!
So all his fans, the originally lucky ones who were supposed to be on the same flight as him, had to make a mad dash, just in the nick of time to catch their flight…sorely disappointed!
Oh, maybe there was some hope since the plane door was still open, waiting for the last passengers! Can he get on? Then a family hopped in frantically rushed! Door closed, hopes dashed!
Karma not so good ah! Sigh! Oh well! You win some, you lose some! We will just have to wait for him at the Jeju airport!
And we did, till he arrived! Warmly welcomed by over a hundred of screaming fans chanting “朴施厚piaoshihou” or Park Sihoo in Chinese, waving specially made Park Sihoo-ssi signs. They created a sensation at the Jeju airport. A traffic stopper for sure!
Hoo’s here? Hoo’s the star? Park Sihoo-ssi if course! A star will be a star we guess! Fashionably late to make his entrance!
Karma! Where were you when we needed you? Kekeke! 🙂
BUT most important, and I am really happy that the good karma shines brightly on me. And I hope it will stay…my privilege to get to know so many of you ladies who equally love our Park Sihoo-ssi! All of you, my sisters.
PS: Park Sihoo-ssi always breezes by us at the airport. It is practically impossible to get good photos. So I have only picked some from various sources. Instead, I chose to share another series of photos that I love of this man, as karma had us all charmed by him!
缘份
有种东西叫缘份,英文的karma 或 fate, 日语的enishi 。不是属于我们所能控制之下的,可是要屈服于它。该发生的总是会发生。不该发生的,妳多么努力去争取也没用。
正是缘份,还以为我搞定把握了一切去济州岛的准备,把不该发生的纠正了过来,好幸运可以跟施厚君同班飞机!这是缘份吧!
虽然是个相当理智的人,但有时会有突然的冲动。所以在冲动下,偶而会惹上长期的承诺,如设置这网站ParkSihooSsi.com,变成施厚君的“奴隶”,赚点花生!哦不,连花生都没有!哈哈哈!但是个自愿的“奴隶”!总是为厚Hoo冲动!
最近又来另一个冲动,一个差点把我搁浅在济州的冲动!当施厚朗Sihoorang,他的韩国官方粉丝俱乐部,发布他的航班细节时,发现我前往济州正好跟他是同一天,周六!冲动的我决定,嘿,就跟经常跟班的粉丝一样,体验一次跟施厚君搭乘同一班飞机和同一种仓位的滋味吧!只是要改航班从韩亚到大韩航空!一切更换得挺顺利的!缘份吧!
哦!非也!习惯了灵活旅行,能够随意更改机票以适应日程安排的我,在出发的前一天,发觉我目前的机票不能这样做!一定要根据机票行程,不然会被拒登机!糟糕!得赶紧纠正这疏忽,因为一旦出发, 就没有回头路啦!幸好及时发现,还来得及!
所以把坏的缘份给纠正了。现在一切安排好,包括去济州岛的登机牌都拿到了。只需等候施厚君办理登机程序!
他的经理人已经等候多时,施厚君大约会在下午3点抵达机场。我们都等得好兴奋,三四十位来自中国,日本和韩国的厚粉,还有我。大多数姐妹们都和他同班机呢!好一班人马啊,壮伟的队伍!三点到来又过去,在3点15分时,他的经济人可急了!因为首尔下初雪,交通堵塞,施厚君很可能晚点,赶不上他预定的班机!很可能要搭乘下一班5点的!缘份又在操作了,心情有点暴躁!
所以那些之前所谓幸运的,和厚厚同一班飞机的姐妹们都得疯狂的冲赶上他们的班机…非常的失望!
哦,因为飞机的门还没关上,等待最后的乘客,还有一丝的希望!他能赶上吗?然后一家六口上了飞机!门关闭了,希望变成泡沫了!
所有激情的粉丝们,虽然疯狂争夺,但这回真的没有缘份!嗨!好吧!有时候妳会是赢家,有时候妳就不是!我们只好在济州机场等候他吧!我们就这么等着,直到他到来! 超过一百名厚粉以热烈的齐声欢呼和欢迎着“朴施厚”,挥舞着特别制作带有施厚君迹象的标志。 他们在济州机场引起了轰动,堵住了机场里的行人道!
是谁Hoo来了?谁 Hoo是明星? 就是施厚君!明星毕竟是明星!晚得才算时尚吗!!
缘份!当我们需要你时,你在哪里?哈哈哈!😄
但是最重要的是真的很高兴,也非常幸会缘份照亮着我,希望一直会保持着,荣幸的认识这么多的姐妹们,跟我一样的爱护着我们的施厚君!
PS:施厚君总是在机场像一阵旋风,快来快去。 好难拍到好照。 所以只选择了一些机场秀,以另一系列我喜欢的美照做代替,因为缘份,让我们都被他的魅力给感染了!

Fate, is the rhythm too wonderful for words! These two days, the fate of the sky, fans, enjoy the beautiful! Oneself, also very lucky, can share the author elder sister, change to be “the slave” after the article! Met in the day, get along with people, many moments, chasing details, revealing the pursuit of the people, firm and deep love! Although a small rhythm, not in accordance with the track walk, but it does not matter, this is, the reality of the world! Unpredictable, the details of the mystery of the taste, is the true meaning of fate! “There is a reason, a thousand miles to meet!” Today, because Shi Houjun met, acquaintance, friend, friends, please be happy in love!
Good
Dear Nance, by this hour, 10:28 AM in Bucharest, 17:28 PM in Jeju Island, your karma has been very generous with you, because you may enjoy PSH’s performance at his meeting with his fans.Not being able to travel in the same plane with him, it’s not your karma’s fault, but the weather conditions. And you must think this:”Even if things don’t unfold the way you expected, don’t be disheartened ,or give up. One who continues to advance will win in the end.”[Daisake Ikada]. And with the help of your karma, you’ll be able to meet PSH in person. Sooner or later your chace of meeting PSH in person is the result of your karma. So keep calm and let your karma finish it. Good luck!
As I experienced during my holidays last September, Karma flows its own course Nance Phua! You can make all the necessary preparations as soon as something like the weather conditions causes delay, you can only swallow and wait your turn! But you were in good company during the flight nevertheless! Thanks for sharing!^^
