Stop and smell the flowers…not just roses!
I am quite sure like me, majority of working adults these days, especially professionals, all live hectic lives. The advance in technology with smart mobile phones and mini computers mean you can’t simply “switch off” from your office and your work. You are literally at the beck and call of your bosses, your clients and other stakeholders!
With him trying to get back on track in his career and getting his fledgling Hoo Factory off the ground, Park Sihoo-ssi could also be a “slave” to work as a result of technology. He is probably leading a busy work life even though we don’t see sight or sound of him. His occasional postings on his social media usually are of him at play, but he is still hard at work…to make us, his fans, happy.
A flower for our Flower Prince!
Well, hectic lives aside, sometimes we just have to slow down and have some play. Put aside some time to stop and smell the roses, or any flower, for a change.
And I will be doing just that this coming weekend!
Along with many sisters, I will certainly be out there taking in the sights of Flower Country, enjoying that back to nature feeling and smelling the roses! And we will be so lucky to do this in the company of our Flower Prince, Park Sihoo-ssi!
Counting down, 5 more sleeps!

停下脚步，闻闻玫瑰花香
可以肯定在现代的社会里， 有好多工作人士，尤其是专业人士，就像我一样生活得非常繁忙。先进智能手机和迷你电脑技术所带来的是办公室和你的工作现在不限制在办公室上班时间了。老板，客户和其他利益相关者几乎随时都可以联系你谈公事了！
成立了厚工厂和事业恢复了正轨之后，相信施厚君也因为技术的进步变成了工作“奴”了。即使我们看不见他的身影或听不到他的声音，相信他正在忙碌努力的工作着。不定时的在他的社交媒体上所发的经常是他工作之余的美照和视频，但他因该仍然是在努力的工作…如让他的粉丝欢心。
Getting ready for the weekend!
除了忙碌的生活，有时侯我们也需要缓慢下来，歇歇脚步，找些时间闻闻玫瑰的花香。
我同意，这周末就去做！去鲜花王国！
在许多姐妹们和鲜花王子的陪同下，我一定会在鲜花王国参观地方景点，享受回归自然的感觉和闻闻玫瑰的花香！
倒计时，5天！

How timely your message today – stop and smell the roses.
I look forward to smelling all the flowers in Buyeo next weekend…and perhaps get to smell the holder of the for his “princesses” as well. Haha! But before that 2 more full days of working on the grind….
My dear Dorothy Ooi it is not “next weekend”. It is this weekend! Hahaha!
How sharp! And see it’s very clear my stress level for saying it’s next weekend!
And you will be taking the flight tomorrow night…please remember! Kekeke 🙂
Hahaha ! Now that’s a very good sound reminder! Flight departs just close to midnight so mistakes can happen as have happened to other folks ……
You lucky girls, have a safe trip to Buyeo , enjoy PSH’s BP , and take a deep breath of the Flower Prince’s smell, our Gorgeous Rose. Waiting for your impression at the most important event of the year.
Yes, I won’t say much, except the word “SMELL” You got it ? Right? My one and only unfulfilled mission is the sniffing him out bit. Ok?
Oh, perhaps I must stress one more thing, DON’T YOU MISS YOUR FLIGHT OK? D-O-R-O-T-H-Y O-O-I

Buyeo and PSH are coming closer to you Dorothy and Nance! Last days ahead are always the busiest, but awesome to look forward to the meet up again! Really wish you and all other sisters who are able to attend the time of your life surrounded by the sight and smell of many, many flowers and PSH, of course!
Yes yes yes smell PSH😉
Just smell the flowers, not to talk about feelings! A year’s time is always too fast! Shi Houjun, spring’s birthday, is a time of life! Shi Houjun’s hometown is really beautiful! For a long time to live in the city of their own, every time, share photos or articles, will give joy! Very different, beautiful scenery, with a soft taste! The real world, hard state, touch more! Shi Houjun’s natural charm and attraction, the meaning of the birthday party, we meet each other is happy, this is a very simple friendship! Anything, pleasure is good! Feel happy
Yung Bin I heard and read so much about Buyeo… eagerly await to feast my eyes on this beautiful place in spring time with flowers in bloom and especially knowing its where Sihoo-ssi’s ancestral home is.
施厚，大家也好期待快點見到你這位鮮花王子。你是不是也好想念我們？相信你的願望快要達成了，還有幾天，你就可以再見到那群深愛你的厚公主了！
Mi ángel te vez muy bello serrando tus ojitos soñadores mm
‘God will reward you! You must be an angel since you care for flowers.”[V. Hugo] And PSH has been rewarded as he loves flowers, and his fans love him for this too. And as “Parfumes are the feeling of flowers”[H.Heine] , so PSH’s feelings for flowers reveal his own parfume. The parfume, the beauty, the fragrance of the Flower Prince , Park Sihoo. And like a flower, like a rose, he has blossomed for our joy,.Rose being the flower which brings smell on our face, each rose petal showing its beauty. PSH, like a rose , brings smile on our face, brings the beauty within his heart to all of us. “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.”[W. Shakespeare -“Romeo and Juliet] What’s in PSH’s name, he who is called” The Flower Prince” , than a sweet smell enjoying his fans. And happy should be those , who can attend his BP, who will be next to him, who will smell the fragance of the Flower Prince. And remember :”Don’t let anyone cast a shadow on our beautiful Flower Prince!” Protect him, support him, love him , admire him! HAPPY BIRHDAY OUR FLOWER PRINCE!
Stefania I love your comments and quotes on the beautiful topic of FLOWER! I wish our Flower Prince somehow gets to cast his eyes on all that have been written today around it. Flowers are such wondrous beautiful gifts of nature for us to behold and enjoy. And I am so glad PSH has chosen this theme for his birthday celebration this year!
Great minds think alike…and I started this going since yesterday with “A flower that blooms in adversity” 🙂
Love all your themes Nance. Always appropriate as though you got sixth sense…
I don’t care what flowers will be present at his birthday party, all I care is ……yes……smell, sniff him out , inside out, upside down, 🙂 and give it a description. Something I failed miserably at Miyazaki….if he had given me a smile at the point of my asking him to shake hand highly likely I would have proceeded to sniff him but because his face was so serious and stern and I couldn’t see his eyes behind the dark glasses I dare not annoy him after we shook hand.
Hello. I am French and I discovered PSH not long ago. Since I tried to listen to a maximum of his movies. I appreciate him a lot: I like above all his simplicity. The stars of Korea or moreover become fast proud and think themselves as the center of the world. He knew how to keep his heart. And I admire him as artist to look for the communion with his fans instead of ‘crushing’ them of his importance. I think that the Art generally is made to make several people commune around something (rather something beautiful and which raises the soul). I am very impressed by his talent to be acted very different roles. He has a really crazy charisma. I envy you to celebrate with him his birthday. Have fun there. And please say him a hello from a very far fan… of France ! Thank you
Hi Claudie! Welcome to the world of Park Sihoo-ssi and to our sisterhood! Yes, he certainly has a lot of charisma and I am looking forward to seeing him again this weekend! If you have a facebook account, please also visit us at https://www.facebook.com/parksihoossi/ where the Park Sihoo-ssi sisterhood is most active. You will find that camaraderie very strong there. The facebook page is an extension of this page and allows for greater interactivity. We hope you will continue to love and support our favorite man and come often to this website ParkSihooSsi.com! Welcome!
Certainly I am going to continue to read you. I find you very dynamic. Thank you for giving news to us of PSH. I am not on Facebook but as soon as I can I shall try to find you there. Thank you very much! see you soon
Fantastic! And you give me too much credit 🙂 I am an old lady Kekeke!
Bonjour Claudie! So good to have you joining us here on Nance’s dedicated blog to support the talented actor Park SiHoo. My name is Chai Hua Loke, another fan from Down Under. This comment will upload as coming from an anonymous (hence I mention my name). Later when you are in facebook you will see my name and a few other regular fans there. I want to extend our excited welcome to you! For now I got to sign off and run, pardon me for this very quickly constructed message. Stay well, stay tune. Lots of fun coming up this weekend from Buyeo. Au Revoir.
Bonjour !!!! yes I can imagine how much it exciting for you just thinking about this week end : I hope that I can go on Facebook soon to know you more. In fact I living in a small french island in Indian Ocean… close to Mauritius. It’s Reunion island. a very small small island but very beautiful too. so here we have not good internet connection, even more I living in countryside. so it’s to hard for to connecte me to Facebook. Please say hello to our Hero this week end for me. Thank you
Hello Claudie, I welcome you too to this warm community. Nance will give you the feeling you have been at any meeting with PSH she will attend because of her very detailed reports hot of the needle! My name is Wilma and I’m from The Netherlands. Usually, I’m leaving my comments at the Facebook page, but as you are not there yet I came over here to welcome you! 😉
Hi thank you. You are all so smart ! you are like our PSH in fact ! I let you read my answer to Hua Loke (is it a very cute name ?). So long
Bon Martin Claudie! Thank you so much for making your comments and joining us here, 1st thing this morning I quickly and excitedly come here to look for you after I briefly replied you yesterday. Call me Chai Hua, that’s my name. Loke is my family name. Merci beaucoup for your sharing of the beautiful idyllic place of Reunion Island, it must be so tranquil peaceful living for you. I must tell you that when I 1st stumbled upon this website, this blog by Nance, I too, exactly like you, could not contain my happiness and the strong feeling that I must say something to these ladies (back then the regular ones were Stefania Lupu and Priscilla ) here who were complete strangers to me, all because of the very exact reason like what you are experiencing that I too had only just discovered Park Sihoo by accident, and being one and only person in my community here in The Barossa Valley South Australia, I have no one to talk about Park Sihoo, so I went to the internet to look for affinity, and came to read about Nance’s this very dedicated blog run with highest degree of professionalism and integrity, highly credible stuff. That was Sept – Oct 2015. Since then the daily biggest enjoyment is to read Nance’s articles. Nance is the reason I declare I am a Park SiHoo’s fan. Reading what you have written here, you have sum up the main reasons of why we come to like and support Park SiHoo, which are exactly the same things that I strongly feel about Park Sihoo and his circumstances. Together, let’s enjoy this Sihoossi Movie and Drama Club!
it’s true Reunion Island is very beautifull. And I like nature so much. I like to make pictures. It’s why when I read all of you about Lotus I think : may be the most beautifull lotus of Korean it’s PSH !!!! Because when he is somewhere we fly away ! lol Thank you for your welcome
It’s Chai Hua again, Claudie, Wilma is another very dedicated fan she runs her fan blog to support PSH with high professionalism too. I leave it to Wilma to share more of her website with you.
Chai Hua, you make me blush. Anyway, Claudie, it’s true I’m running a fan blog/website in support of PSH. It’s called “Park Si Hoo….Korean Actor” and the url is http://www.wilma-online.nl.Geesh, now I’m writing about it, I realize I missed its 3rd anniversary as I launched it on March 22, 2014! 😶 Never mind, if your internet connection allows you, you’re free to visit anytime! 😄
P.s. a correction as I forgot to leave an empty space: http:// http://www.wilma-online.nl Sorry!
I should confess here to Sihoossi that when I read back my messages to him back in March and April 2016 I begged him to ensure he still holds birthday party in Buyeo in 2017 and said to him that me and a new fan I recruited will be very keen to attend in 2017. My most sincere apologies that he has fulfilled my wish by holding such party in Buyeo again this year, yet, I am the one who is unable to attend. Lucky thing Dorothy Ooi is going ie 50% attendance from my pledge!! If not I can go find a hole and shamed myself forever. My reason as I explained to PSH’s instagram when he offered the one to one photo taking at his upcoming Buyeo party, because I have used my once in a lifetime quota of meeting him in person, met him in Miyazaki in Sep 2016, I really can’t make it this trip despite how tempting it is for me. I cited my personal difficulty as an example I only get to meet my closest family member my sister twice in 5 years such is my circumstances of living nowadays in the far away agricultural country there is no way I can fly all the way to go meet Sihoossi twice in 7 months. Moreover this time of the year my husband is busy with grapes harvesting, everyone in the valley is busy with our important livelihood tasks, I can’t possibly drop everything on my plate and fly to Korea. I must also keep my husband company right now after all it is only 5 weeks since our only fur kid the dog died, the dog had been living with us for nearly 16 years not more than 20 feet from us, slept in our bedroom with us everynight, the absence of the dog will be hard for us, the more I could not just go away this time and leave my husband to be home alone. So no matter how much I could dream about Buyeo, in reality I just can’t go. Yes, I actually dreamt of myself in Buyeo this morning, so vivid the dream……with colour, and several scenes, and a long dream til I over slept and woke up feeling exhausted and tired, like I actually just physically been Buyeo, and able to recall all about the dream about the feeling in the dream too…..LOL
The power of the mind! So much of PSH’s event in your sub conscience you even took a trip there in your dream this morning – met him and seen his home and Buyeo ahead of me…. awesome!
Seriously if I have the time, I could even sketch the various scenes in the dream, with colour too……
I think Scarlett’s ig video of Buyeo must be at play….
Did I say “Ferocious Ajummas”? Maybe it should be “Crazy Ajummas”!
Our PSH must be busy with appearing in dreams as well! Contrary to you Chai Hua, I don’t remember any detail. I only realize when I wake up that PSH was in my dreams for some reason multiple times this week! Probably, because I want to be in Buyeo celebrating with all of you that much myself, but just won’t be there!
Wilma van Zwietering PSH was very brief presence in my dream. Is like in the dream we know he has arrived home only a glimpse of him. But my dream very vivid in his parents home their grounds their guest rooms i even spoke with his mother about food in particular lotus root. And my reply to his mother about lotus root happened to be my real life experience of how i delighted my dinner guests introducing lotus root to my guests who never knew the food before. Strange enough it was psh mother who 1st asked me how we call lotus root in English in my dream meaning she initiated the subject. ..really weird dream
It may seem like a weird dream Chai Hua Loke, but most of the time it carries some symbolism in it. Don’t really know the meaning behind the Lotus flower, but that flower seems to bind PSH’s mother and you
Lotus root sounds like abundance in a year in Cantonese. So it’s a popular dish during the lunar new year! So now I can interpret bit of Chai Hua’s dream of PSH’s ancestral home. It will be filled with abundance of good fortune !!! 🤗🤗
And hopefully an abundance of kids! hahaha!
Wilma van Zwietering in the dream the focus was lotus root the food no image of its flower or plant the root comes from. Only when i awake i remember the lotus flowers in photos i have seen associated with Buyeo
When we use lotus root as a symbolic saying in Chinese it signify a relationship that can never be fully severed. Because the root might be broken into 2 parts but still linked by its very fine thread.
Nance for abundance of kids someone need to dream of watermelon seeds that’s what Google tells me 😉 lotus root some say it means continue wealth some says abundance some says be open minded in the new year for new opportunities some say having lotus root is to be able to have wishes in the new year. Before my Google i knew none of these sayings except the relationship cannot be fully severed saying due to the fine thread that still link the broken 2 parts of the lotus root
May I add that I ate a lot of lotus roots in my growing up years. Almost 3 out of 7 days a week was lotus roots. My mother used to boil lotus root soup with pork and bones plus a dried cuttlefish. Then the plain lotus root dipped in soy sauce my favorite.
Then Chai Hua Loke combined with what Dorothy Ooi has been said, should the deeper meaning be there will be abundance of food in both families? Good harvests for both PSH’s family and yours? As this was the topic of your converversation with PSH’s mom
But in the dream the way i described to PSH’s mum is not this peasant dish. I was telling her lotus root in light batter deep fry then served with some soy base sauce. Just like tempura lotus root
Oh Wilma van Zwietering abundance of harvest for both psh and my family will be fantastic. Our harvest has yet to be over we don’t know the final tally until all grapes are picked. But so far so good fingers crossed
The final tally will be okay Chai Hua Loke! Let me know when all grapes are picked!
PSH and flowers it enhances the caring and sensitive man he is! Moreover, the Spring season is blossoming with new fresh flowers all over. The sight and smell must be awesome! It feels like you are going to enter a fairy tale like world to meet with our Prince of Flowers Nance! Have much fun!
Just a word about you beautiful item : “A flower that blooms in adversity” ! it’s so deep and spiritual. Thank you So long
Many thanks, Claudie…sometimes I get good inspiration. But I do also talk a lot of nonsense 🙂
I think that we should all pray for PSH : May you meet your wife and have kids: this is the present which I make to you for your birthday (I don’t speak very well English, sorry)
Claudie, Language is never a problem here as I always say. You can say it in any language you like and we can use an online translator. It is so easy nowadays. Even our Park Sihoo-ssi uses one – Papago an apps he thinks help him translate English, Chinese and Japanese! So if you like to write your thoughts in French…oui, oui, Nous parlons français aussi 🙂 Pardon…I used google translate here Hahaha!
Yes, language is really not a problem in the fanship world of PSH. Often we find that our thoughts and wishes are similar when it comes to PSH, hence no matter which language, is easy to understand the worldwide international fans with diverse languages. {Chai Hua speaking}.
hi ! goog morning. I believed a moment that you mastered French. I was impressed ! I try to write in english to practise it a little. You seem kind and I am sure that you will forgive me my spellings mistakes
Good afternoon from my part of the world Claudie! Nance is right now in the city of Seoul, out and about. You could follow her updates in her today’s article Out and About. Many of us have commented in her yesterday’s article Seoul Looking Forward. Enjoy! {Chai Hua speaking}
Totally with you Claudie! Meet your wife and have kids, PSH! I have been nagging him about his love life ever since I was able to write messages on his Weibo and Instagram account. I always cite the lyrics from Cat Stevens’ song titled Father and Son, the lyrics of “Find a girl, settle down, if you want you can marry. Look at me, I am old, but I am happy.” {Chai Hua speaking here}
Totally agree Claudie! Meet your wife and have kids, PSH! I have been nagging him about his love life since I was able to write comments on PSH’s Weibo and Instagram accounts. I always cite the lyrics from Cat Stevens’ song titled Father and Son. Lyrics “Find a girl, settle down. If you want, you can marry. Look at me, I am old, but I am happy.”
My dear sisters, if PSH will read all your excellent comments about him, your wishes for him, your dreams about him, your deep feelings for him, your happiness to be able to go to Buye and meet him, your desire to smell the fragrance of our Flower Prince , I think he will be in the Seventh Heaven with such loveable, caring lady fans. Although I can’t go to Buyeo , as Chai Hua, my heart will there with all of you. I’m happy for those who can go to be next to him on the greatest event of his life, sharing your love and admiration, sharing also all good wishes from his fans from over the world. Enjoy PSH’s 2017 BP!
I wanted to quickly drop a note here to say those sisters here who often just come straight to facebook of Nance’s blog, if you are interested, please check out the main website (instead of just facebook here) as we have a new French sister she just joined our chat room on this Stop and Smell the Roses article, her name is Claudie and her comments are only on the main website as where she lives (Reunion Island) is a bit difficult on internet hence she hasn’t gone into facebook yet.
thank you so much Chai Hua !
