3rd post in one night. Gahhh!!!

Obviously I'm so disturbed. And turning into a stalker soon.

Think straight think straight think straight think straight think straight.

Don't talk to me. Don't look at me. Don't even come near me.

May I forget everything. Nothing is going to happen. Everything is going to be fine.

Stupid cupid stop picking on me.

What did I do wrong???

If only one can rips out ones brain and wash away the unwanted contents in it.

Stop it stop it stop it stop it stop it.

Gah!!!

Why me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alright. I lost. Ok. I do. So what?

But it's not going to work anyway. So don't even think about it.

What now? You got split personality or something? You are literally talking to yourself using the second-man reference. Oh no. Siao?

Not really. Just got to get it off my chest.

Sleep girl sleep. Get up tomorrow and run and forget all about it.

The missing thing in my life...

That kind of love exists.

Just not so in my world.

Leaving fantasy land and back to reality.

The echoes in my head.

Like i said, the signals are confusing confusing confusing confusing.

So now, it's quite awkward awkward awkward awkward.

I should really just study study study study.

And maybe play a little.

Random and confusing thoughts.

Life's good. Besides a few small setbacks like the module thingy and a few extra flab.

Been to concert, drinking, norae-ing and stuffs. Found out best way to cure a hangover is to go running.

However, I couldn't help but think only of it for now. I'm pretty sure you all can guess what.

Yes. When it comes to the matter of heart, I'm a helpless idiot. Completely clueless. So the best way to handle it? Ignore it. Ignorant is bliss.

But then, there is only so much a person can act blur and ignore. The signals are confusing. I hate it. It was nearly deja vu all over again.

I only want a rich oppa. Preferably some mafia big bro type. To go with the lao-da type Yue wants also.

Missing the little sis a bit~~~

Big Bang Bangs.

With so many new acts(read: muse) bombarding the scenes lately, I almost ditch Big Bang to the back of my skull and forget how awesome they are.

I'm glad to be reminded of this today at the ASF, despite their short performance and Daesung's absence.

Totally made my day, perhaps even my stay in Korea. Wish they don't have to go to Japan though...

Big Bang rocks tonight, oh eh oo ooo~~~

P/S: And just because this guy definitely can do with some love.

Get well soon Daesungie!

How can they eat so much, nua around whole day and yet stay so skinny?

I eat as much as they do if not lesser, run and work out regualarly, yet i still put on weight.

What an unfair world...

Firsts (Part 1).

Alright. This post is long long dued. But better late than never right?

Anyways, here it goes.

I've experinced many firsts ever since coming to Korea. First time on a plane, first time living in a country where I could barely speaks it's language, first time eating samgyupsal and drinkin soju just to name a few obvious ones. However it's the more bizarre ones (at least to me) that I'm going to blog about.

1. K-Pop Culture.

I love this. The Koreans are really taking their celebs seriously. With the latest craze of K-pop groups(especially girl groups), the Koreans are lapping up every single song that the artistes dish up (which are usually mad catchy complete with equally addictive dance choreography) happily. Anyone will at least know the basic steps to any of the songs that are overplayed on the radio at streets this days. The companies who are quick to realise the bankability market of this situation, of course wasted no time to get these celebs to endorse their products. Clothes, skincare, food, cars, electronics, etc. And these endorsements are usually incomplete without a life-size huge-ass mortar board and posters of the celebs themselves in front of the store.

Yunho the DBSK leader for Evisu jeans. Hot.

Daesung of Big Bang fame for some fried chicken.

Poor guy had recently involved in a serious car accident and is currently recuperating at home. So, the least a fangirl can do is showing her love by dropping by eating the fried chicken he endorses. Yumm.

Lee Hongki of FT Island for Bavi Phat (skincare). You could see Beyonce's poster somewhere behind him in this pic. This store aims higher by going for double celebrity endorsements. I kinda like their products anyway.

There are still more and more familiar faces everywhere you go around in Korea but I din take much of the pics because the inner fangirl in me still hasn't come out of the closet yet. So, I couldn't be too obvious la...

2. The Destroyer.

This happened last Saturday. I broke the ceiling fan in my room with my bare fingers. How cool is that?! Don't panic. My fingers are still intact and fine despite several minor cuts on them. But the same couldn't be said to the fan as it ceased to function completely.

This is how it happened. Stretching. Ok la. Maybe I jumped a little too. Damn those low ceilings...

The broken fan. It gave a violent wobble threatening to fall off the ceiling if you turn it on.

I was more worried about my roomie finding out than my bleeding fingers at that point of time. After some frantic sign languages and mixed languages of explaination to the ahjussi below, he got someone to check it out. Alas, the thing could only be fixed on Monday morning coz they need to change the entire thing. Needless to say, the roomie wasn't pleased to find out that she has to live with 2 days without fan. Couldn't stop grumbling about it. What a bitch. I mean what the bleach..

The drama doesn't end here. Remember ahjussi said they'll fix it on Monday morning? Problem is they never exactly said what time. They came around 9am when I was still sleeping. The roomie went out earlier so the door wasn't locked. All I could remember is some fumbling sound outside the room and the next thing I know the door flew open to some exclaimations of "Ohmo!" (OMG!). Yes, they never even knock on the door first. And there was I, laying spread eagle on the bed for a lady(who opened the door) and two other guys to see.

As if, that wasn't humiliating enough. In my groggy state of just being awakened up so unceremoniously, the lady told me I've to get out of my room that instant because they need to change the fan. I said "Ok, but gimme 10 min?" but the lady said "No, you must come out now". WTB. I wasn't even wearing my bra then! Can anyone say rude?

So, I've no choice but to quickly grab some toiletries to wash up while they work on the fan. The whole process only took about 10 min. They left before I got back but when I got back to my room, it was locked. WTB again. Gah. Have to run after the lady to unlock it for me.

And if you think that is drama enough, the horrible morning still continues after that. On my way to school, I saw my roomie walking back with another friend. And when we are approaching each other:

Roomie: Do you know what you did this morning?
Me: What? Oh, the fan got changed already.
Roomie: You sit up on the bed and yelled "Everland!! Bookshop!".
Me: @_@.

Needless to say, everyone knew what I did that morning thanks to her. I was actually the last one to find out. WTB. I didn't even know I speak English in my dreams. Usually it was just some gibberish mutterings in an unknown language when I got too tired the night before. Gah!

What a great morning huh?

Stay tuned for an even more exciting Part 2 where alcohol and nudity are involved!

The Princess Syndrome..

Some people just really take things for granted.

Just because you are born with a comfortable life doesn't mean others are too.

Just because you don't think something is important doesn't mean others think so too.

Just because something is not yours doesn't mean you can trash it around like useless garbage.
Especially when that something belongs to someone else who values it a lot and is kind enough to lend it to you, even when you did not bother to find out who the owner is and thank that person.

Just because you are some kind of princess where you come from doesn't mean you can act like one here.

I'm so upset now.

And for your information, that's my favourite cardigan from Topshop which I bought with my hard-earned money using literally my own hands. It may not costs a lot but it means a lot to me. And I happened to like it a lot because it fits me so well I don't mind wearing it everyday.

I really really hate dealing with stuck-up treat-me-like-a-princess-gu niangs.

It's You.

I'll really update with more interesting stuff soon.

But for now, here's something for you all.

I'm usually not one who's into emo lovey-dovey break-up songs. And definitely not Super Junior ghey songs. Except for the mad-addictive Sorry Sorry's hand-rub and shoe-wipe dance.

But somehow this is different. I'm feeling it more the more I listened to it. The kind of feel only Jay Chou's emo songs can make me feel.

It sure is tough to stand out in a big group of 13 pretty guys.






But this one totally got my heart.


Kyuhyun.

One line of amazing vocal at the chorus part and I'm sold. Doesn't help too that he's kinda cute. Such a cheap whore I am.

Haih~~

Inside room 415..

Life's great and happening now.

But I'm sitting here in my neighbour's room, with four of us, each doing our own stuffs on our own lappies, and they are all chatting with someone on webcam except me.

And that makes me wonder. 55 people online on my msn list. But how many do I really actually chat too? Not even friends from hall whom I used to be so close with. And the sis's can't be seen online anywhere for days.

And I couldn't help but feel, life is great and happening, but it is kind of sad when there's no loved one to share it with...

First week in Korea

My lappie is really lagging now after I've installed some safety net program from HYU for our browsers to work. Bloody..

Anyway, here's a quick summary of what have happened over the past few days in Korea.

Day 1:
Air-sickness. I don't know whether any of you know about this, but it is my first time taking the airplane. And let's just say there are some barfing action involved and it's not a nice experience. Thank god Vannesa had some motion-sickness medicine with her. The rest of the day is spent on grocery shopping and tidying up that day. Got our first taste of language-handicap and the spiciness of Korean food.

Day 2:
Shopping at Myeongdong. It is still by far my favourite place to shop. Will definitely go back there again.


Day 3:
Shopping at Dongdaemun. Went to Gangnam to shop at first, coz we heard that there is a "paradise" there, but couldn't find the place. So, left after getting some toast from Isaac as our lunch. Yummy~~
Dongdaemun has seriously lots of stuffs to offer. But enclosed within a building so small for so many stalls and goods, my claustrauphobic-ness kicks in. The shopkeepers will tend to overcharge you too if you don't know how to bargain. This shoe I bought was quoted at 40 000 won initially before I "sha jia" to 13 000 won!
What the bleach lor...

Said-shoe. A bit small for me though.

There was a dance battle going on outside where they just randomly asked people from the street to come onstage and dance to some K-pop songs. Very interesting and the inner K-pop fangirl is being kept happy.

Day 4:
Shopping again at the vicinity of Hongik University. Planned to go sight-seeing at some palace at first. But then the other gang "jio-ed" us to go Hongik. We changed our plan coz we were too paiseh to reject them again after so many times. Hongik turns out to be a very interesting place with lots of quirky little shops and cafes. But the stuff not so cheap there la...

Nice window display.

Charlie Brown cafe. Love it.

"Atas" cafe.

Day 5:
Too tired to go out after so many continuous days out from day to near mid-night. Nua at dorm and finally went grocery shopping to get all the other important stuffs which we missed out during our first trip.

Day 6:
Alien registration. Yeah, that's literally what they called the foreign registration stuff in Korea. Unfriendly huh? Anyway, one of our mentor, Sung-ni, brought us there and guided us through it. Thank god she's around. The journey there is bloody long and the wait for the queue is even longer. After the registration she took us to this jumbo bookstore, Kyobo, which has plentiful amount of cute and nice stationary. I'm usually not a stationary person but will definitely go back there to get more souvenirs. Chatted a lot with Sung-ni throughout the journey and wait. It's really fun and I really wanna meet more Koreans. Lesson faster start la~~~

The very nice and friendly Sung-ni unnie.

Day 7:
Sight-seeing at Changdeokgong. Pretty. Really pretty. No wonder it is recognised by UNESCO as a world heritage place. Too bad the guided tour is in Korean and we didn't managed to take as many photos as we want to. And it was freaking hot today too. I think I got tanned after the trip..

It was a really hot day outside. What autumn?

The magnificent palace.

Pretty landscape. Like what I used to picture at school when we were asked to draw for Pendidikan Seni. Except that my drawings turned out nothing like this..

My attempt to re-enact the scene in Memoirs of a Geisha. Damn failed..

The scholar tree. Hugged this for luck in my studies.

My Singaporean friends are facinated by ariels like this. Budak bandar...

Went to Insa-dong after that. Lots of folk handicrafts. Again, unique and pretty, but not something I'll be willing to spent so much on.
Handmade traditional mask.

There's this really nice building there.
I love this building.

And we left our ink there.
The four of us. I draw wan. Pity we have no marker pen with us then.

I don't usually do this but since a lot of you have been saying that I look like Korean, here's a pic of me selca(short for self-cam, Korean slang), Korean style.


Bare-face with completely no make-up. Big nose and pimple scars included.

So, what do you think? I personally don't think I look like one. Wait till I show you more pics of the real Koreans here.

Oh, you can't see it but I absolutely love the pink shirt I'm wearing in that pic! It's a loose wide collar shirt with a HUGE pic of the 3 infamous chipmunks (Alvin, Simon, Theodore) in black on it. Cost only 2000 won(SGD 3)!. Absolutely love. Only regret is not getting more. Will show a pic of it next time.
